Another solid outing Dunn closed with 13 points (5-12 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist, two blocks and three steals across 23 minutes during Sunday's 107-96 loss to the Lakers.
Impact Dunn has made two straight starts and totaled 29 points, eight rebounds, four assists, seven steals and two blocks during those contests. The Suns are trending in the wrong direction, which should allow the rookie to carve out a consistent role down the stretch, especially if he continues to produce on both ends of the court.

Four steals against Sacramento Dunn had 16 points (6-16 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and four steals over 33 minutes during Friday's 122-106 victory over the Kings.
Impact The rookie forward has just three steals total over his prior 23 appearances, but Dunn was busy at both ends of the court Friday as he set a new season high in pilfers while tying his season scoring high. His elevated workload came with Grayson Allen (foot) sidelined and Mason Plumlee getting ejected after only 16 minutes, so Dunn's strong performance may not lead to a bigger role in the Suns' rotation.

Gets some rotation minutes Dunn finished Wednesday's 111-104 loss to the Rockets with four points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and two blocks across 17 minutes.
Impact Grayson Allen (foot) and Nick Richards (ankle) both missed Wednesday's game, opening some rare rotation minutes for Dunn on the wings.
