Getting Beal (and Kevin Durant) back for the Suns was huge, as they have blown out the Lakers in the second half.

Beal has averages of 17.8 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.4 steals per contest while shooting 47.5% from the field and 38.3% from the three-point range in his first nine games of the year.

The three-time NBA All-Star is in his second season as a member of the Suns.
