Crawford netted 16 points (6-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two assists, one rebound and one steal across 23 minutes in the Suns' 119-113 loss to the Hornets on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
With Devin Booker exiting the game early with back spasms, Crawford saw an uptick in playing time over recent contests and produced with it. The 19-year veteran's scoring total was his highest since Dec. 13, a feat largely made possible by Crawford's best shooting night since Nov. 14. The 38-year-old's accuracy (35.7 percent) is at its lowest point since his rookie 2000-01 season in Chicago, however, so his production, which is already scoring-dependent to begin win, has been hard to trust on a game-to-game basis.

Crawford (knee) will be available Friday against Oklahoma City, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Crawford was bumped up to probable on the Suns' most recent injury report, so the fact that he's available to play isn't a shock. He's averaging 7.7 points, 2.0 rebounds and 6.2 assists over his previous six contests.

Crawford (knee) is now probable for Friday's game against the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
Crawford was initially listed as questionable for the Suns' upcoming matchup, but he's evidently made good progress and is expected to take the floor. He missed Wednesday's contest due to left knee soreness, although he figures to resume his role off the bench against Oklahoma City.

Crawford (knee) is questionable for Friday's matchup against the Thunder, Gina Mizell of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Left knee soreness prevented Crawford from playing during Wednesday's victory over the Magic, and it seems he's still feeling some pain. During Wednesday's overtime contest, Miles Bridges saw 35 minutes, Kelly Oubre saw 31 minutes, Josh Jackson saw 27 minutes and Elie Okobo saw 24 minutes. Each of those players stand to see extended run once again if Crawford is out.

Crawford is out for Wednesday's game against the Magic due to knee soreness, Gina Mizell of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Crawford has emerged from Sunday's game against Brooklyn with knee soreness after playing just 14 minutes. While he's sidelined, De'Anthony Melton, Mikal Bridges and Troy Daniels could see extra run.

Crawford supplied six points (3-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt), 14 assists and two rebounds across 26 minutes Monday in the Suns' 128-110 win over the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
With the Suns waiving the newly acquired Austin Rivers prior to the contest, the threat of a backcourt logjam never emerged, allowing Crawford to stick in the rotation as the first guard off the bench. Crawford worked as the primary point man behind starter De'Anthony Melton, logging a career-best assist total in the process. While that output is an obvious outlier for a player who has averaged just 3.4 dimes per game in 19 NBA seasons, Crawford has deviated a bit from his shoot-first tendencies thus far in 2018-19. He had provided 12 assists over the preceding two games and is averaging 6.9 per 36 minutes, by far the best rate of his career. That enhances Crawford's fantasy appeal if he can maintain a regular role as the top reserve guard, though that's far from guaranteed with the impending addition of Kelly Oubre to the rotation. Oubre's arrival could result in Devin Booker logging more time at the point and cutting into Crawford's minutes as a result.

Crawford (knee) totaled 17 points (6-14 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five assists, two rebounds, one steal and one block across 27 minutes in the Suns' 99-89 win over the Mavericks on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Crawford was able to shake off the questionable designation he entered the game with and generated a bench-high scoring total. The ageless veteran had missed the prior two games with his knee issue, but Thursday's tally represented a season-best point haul for Crawford. The 38-year-old continues to enjoy a robust bench role on a Suns squad lacking experience at the point guard position, essentially locking in his playing time for the time being.

Crawford (knee) will be available Thursday against the Mavericks, Gina Mizell of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Crawford has missed the past two games due to knee soreness, but is in line to resume his usual role Thursday. Over his past four appearances, he's averaging 5.5 points on 18.5 percent shooting, 4.3 assists and 1.0 rebound across 20.0 minutes.

Crawford did not see the floor during Tuesday's 111-86 loss to the Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
Crawford missed Monday's game against the Clippers due to knee soreness, but was listed as a DNP-Coach's Decision in this one. Even once he's healthy, the aging veteran microwave is unlikely to hold a significant role for the struggling Suns going forward.
