Howard

Eisley

This is sure to effect a lot of down-to-the-wire fantasy races.

He’s not with the Suns any longer, but he was still owed $5.6 million by them. He’s currently with the Utah Jazz as a backup point guard.

He posted eight points, four rebounds, and eight assists.

The Suns agreed to terms with Eisley on a buyout of the remainder of his contract. Eisley will try to catch on as a backup elsewhere.

Eisley will split time at point guard with Keith McLeod and Raja Bell until Carlos Arroyo returns.

Eisley is day-to-day.

Carlos Arroyo is due back toward the end of this week, so we recommend staying away from Eisley, unless Arroyo suffers a setback.

He won’t have any value as soon as Carlos Arroyo and Jerry Sloan kiss and make up.

As Rotoworld’s Matt Fisher told you in his latest column, Eisley may be the perfect fit for Jerry Sloan’s system. We see Keith McLeod and Eisley both getting around 30 minutes a game, giving both of them decent potential value. However, Jerry Sloan has tweaked his rotation all season long, so there are no guarantees. The fact that Eisley played so many minutes in such a big win certainly makes him intriguing.

Eisley is averaging averaged 4.5 points, four assists and 17.5 minutes in 24 games. He’ll battle Utah’s other three point guards for playing time.
