Gray

Gray wasn’t particularly valuable as a fantasy option, as he was on a two-way contract last season. Even with the change of scenery that will remain the case.

Gray has a two-way contract with the Pelicans and could be emergency depth tonight with the team possibly without Jrue Holiday (elbow, questionable). Gray has been electric in the G League with 24.0 points, 7.9 dimes, 5.5 rebounds, 2.3 steals and 2.2 triples.

Gray signed a pair of 10-day contracts with the Suns back in February of 2018. He appeared in five games for Phoenix, averaging 6.4 points, 2.0 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.6 steals in 17.3 minutes per contest.

Phoenix is waiving Gray in order to create a spot on the roster for Shaq Harrison, whom the team is inking to a 10-day contract.

Gray appeared in five games for the Suns last season, averaging 6.4 points, 2.0 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.6 steals in 17.3 minutes per contest. He spent most of the year with Phoenix’s G-League affiliate.

The 24-year-old guard moves up from the G League to help replace Isaiah Canaan. Gray is undersized at just 6'1", so apparently the Suns like short backup point guards. He’s been pretty solid in the G League with averages of 17.9 points, 6.0 dimes, 2.3 steals and 2.4 treys. Leave him on the wire in all leagues for now, though.

Gray averaged 17.9 points, 6.0 assists, 4.0 rebounds and 2.3 steals over 31 G-League games this season. He should be left on the waiver wire, as he likely won’t see significant minutes for Phoenix.

This means he will be active for Monday’s game vs. the Warriors. Tyler Ulis (back) is questionable, so Gray will handle the backup PG duties behind Elfrid Payton if Ulis can’t go. Gray is averaging 6.8 points and 3.0 assists in three appearances, and he’s shooting just 30% from the field.

Tyler Ulis (back spasms) left early tonight. Devin Booker (hip, ribs) wasn’t available. Isaiah Canaan (ankle) is done for the season. The Suns had to turn somewhere, and that turned out to be Gray, a 24-year-old who was called up from the G League last week and found himself at the wrong end of a historically lopsided loss tonight. There is a glaring hole in the Suns’ backcourt, but owners should leave Gray on the wire outside of very deep leagues.

“Right now, I physically couldn’t play if I tried to,” said Booker. We should get official confirmation on Booker’s status following Tuesday morning’s shootaround, but if he is forced to the sidelines, Tyler Ulis would likely slide back into the starting five with Josh Gray backing him up. Josh Jackson and T.J. Warren would pick up most of Booker’s usage, and both those guys would be in play in DFS. Stay tuned.
