Coffey has not appeared in a game since March 19, but that may change on Sunday. However, even if he is available, the Suns’ wing is unlikely to get the minutes needed to affect fantasy basketball.

Initially questionable for Tuesday’s game with a sprained right wrist, Antetokounmpo got up 21 shots against the Jazz. He scored 15 points in each half, shooting 7-of-14 from the field in the second half. Giannis’ dominant performance helped offset Bam Adebayo’s (11/8/4/4/2) 1-of-8 shooting from the field. The Heat head home, with a Friday/Saturday back-to-back against the Cavaliers and Pistons up next.

While not a player who absolutely has to be rostered in 12-team leagues, Jones has been productive enough to provide reliable deep-league value. Against the Suns, his final stat line lacked only an assist, and he’s now shooting 17-of-36 from beyond the arc. Jones would help his fantasy value if he could consistently provide steals; six of his 10 steals this season have been recorded in two games.

Hachimura shot 3-of-5 from beyond the arc on Tuesday, and the two steals matched his season high. Unfortunately, his production outside of points and rebounds remains limited, and the Clippers forward is shooting below 40 percent from the field. Hachimura’s status as a starter is why he’s rostered in 62 percent of Yahoo leagues, but that number may decrease once Brandon Ingram (Achilles) is cleared to play.

Garland and the Clippers had a tough night in Phoenix, so much so that none of the starters played in the fourth quarter. For those willing to punt turnovers, Garland has provided good fantasy value this season. He and the Clippers will look to bounce back on Friday when they host the Thunder.

Gillespie was one of five Suns reserves to finish Tuesday’s 133-110 victory in double figures. In addition to shooting 4-of-9 from three, he recorded a team-high eight assists. While coming off the bench limits Gillespie’s fantasy ceiling, Phoenix’s lack of point guards makes him a player worth rostering in deep leagues.
