Not starting Tuesday
Bouyea won't start Tuesday's Play-In Tournament game against the Trail Blazers, Hayden Cilley of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Analysis
Bouyea got the starting nod in Sunday's regular-season finale, though he'll slide to the second unit Tuesday. With the Suns almost at full strength, the 26-year-old isn't guaranteed to see meaningful burn.

Paces Phoenix in win
Bouyea notched 27 points (12-23 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 0-2 FT), nine assists, five rebounds, two blocks and one steal over 40 minutes during Sunday's 135-103 win over the Thunder.
Analysis
With a slew of regulars inactive for the regular-season finale, Bouyea made his first start of the year and performed well, leading all scorers and finishing one assist shy of a double-double. It marked the guard's highest scoring output of the campaign and his 10th game in double figures. Despite the strong showing Sunday, Bouyea is unlikely to see significant playing time in Tuesday's Play-In Tournament matchup against the Trail Blazers or beyond if the Suns advance deeper into the postseason.

Starting against Thunder
Bouyea will start in Sunday's game against Oklahoma City, Justin Martinez of The Oklahoman reports.
Analysis
Bouyea will make his first start of the 2025-26 campaign. The 26-year-old is coming off a four-point, three-assist, two-rebound performance in Friday's 101-73 loss to the Lakers. However, he will have an opportunity to be more productive with the Suns down Devin Booker (ankle), Dillon Brooks (foot), Collin Gillespie (shoulder), Mark Williams (foot) and Jalen Green (knee).
