The Suns (33-24) have been a surprise playoff contender this season under first-year head coach Jordan Ott, with Brooks among the biggest contributors.
Booker, meanwhile, is the team’s leading scorer at 24.7 points per game.
With neither of their big guns on the floor, the Suns’ leading active scorer would be guard Grayson Allen at 17.3 points a game.
