Rotoworld Player News

Haywood Highsmith

PHX Forward #19

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Haywood Highsmith (knee) and Amir Coffey (ankle) are out for Thursday’s game against the Hornets.

Highsmith and Coffey’s continued absences don’t affect fantasy basketball, especially with Dillon Brooks returning from a fractured hand on Tuesday. However, it does leave the Suns down two options on the wings.
Mark Williams

PHX Center #15

Mark Williams (foot) is questionable for Thursday’s game against the Hornets.

Williams’ potential return to the Suns’ lineup carries some implications in fantasy basketball. Oso Ighodaro has served as the starting center in Williams’ absence, offering limited fantasy value. However, he is rostered in 19 percent of Yahoo! leagues. Even if Williams’ playing were to be restricted in his return to action, that would be enough to make Ighodaro a non-factor in most leagues.
Devin Booker

PHX Guard #1

Devin Booker had 34 points (8-of-16 FGs, 16-of-19 FTs), three rebounds, seven assists, one steal and two three-pointers in Tuesday’s loss to the Magic.

Booker followed up his 36-point performance in Monday’s win over the Grizzlies with 34 points in the loss to the Magic on Tuesday. The 29-year-old became the third-youngest shooting guard in NBA history to score 18,000 career points and only Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant were younger. Booker has provided fifth-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Suns have two games remaining in Week 23, the first of which comes Thursday against the Hornets.
Dillon Brooks

PHX Guard-Forward #3

Collin Gillespie, Devin Booker, Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks and Oso Ighodaro will start against the Magic on Tuesday.

Royce O’Neale will head back to the bench with Brooks back in the starting unit. Brooks has been sidelined since Feb. 21, which was also against Orlando. Brooks should see his typical workload, which means O’Neale will lose out on the streaming value he held.
Amir Coffey

PHX Guard-Forward #2

Amir Coffey (ankle) and Haywood Highsmith (knee) are out for Tuesday’s matchup with the Magic.

Coffey and Highsmith will continue to miss time, but given their limited roles in Phoenix’s rotation, their absences will have little impact in the world of fantasy hoops.
Mark Williams

PHX Center #15

Mark Williams (foot) is out for Tuesday’s matchup with the Magic.

Williams’ stint on the sidelines will continue into Week 23, and that means Oso Ighodaro should continue to start in his place. Ighodaro has been productive running with the first unit, and fantasy managers should continue to deploy him with confidence.
Grayson Allen

PHX Guard #8

Grayson Allen (knee) is off the injury report for Tuesday’s matchup with the Magic.

Allen got Monday off for injury management, but he’ll return for the second leg of Phoenix’s back-to-back set. Allen’s return will likely cut into Collin Gillespie’s minutes and usage.
Dillon Brooks

PHX Guard-Forward #3

Arizona Sports 98.7 FM’s John Gambadoro reports that Dillon Brooks (hand) will return on Tuesday against the Magic.

Out of the lineup since suffering a fractured left hand in a February 21 game against the Magic, Brooks will make his return in Tuesday’s rematch. He has started all 50 games that he has appeared in this season, so the veteran wing is likely to take on that role immediately, even if there’s a minutes limit attached. Royce O’Neale, who finished Monday’s win over the Grizzlies with nine points, four rebounds, one assist and two three-pointers, may be the odd man out of the Suns’ lineup.
Jalen Green

PHX Guard #4

Jalen Green added 21 points (9-of-18 FGs), six rebounds, one assist, two steals and three three-pointers in the win over the Grizzlies on Monday.

Green’s streak of 20-point performances grew to five games on Monday, with efficient shooting both inside and outside the arc leading him to finish as the Suns’ second-leading scorer. The athletic scoring guard likely could have seen even greater numbers if not for the Suns taking a sizable lead in the fourth quarter, which would leave him on the bench for the entire final frame. Still, Green walks away with solid production and a low minutes total before Tuesday’s second game of a back-to-back against Orlando.
Collin Gillespie

PHX Guard #12

Colling Gillespie finished Monday’s win over the Grizzlies with 11 points (4-of-16 FGs), five rebounds, 10 assists and three three-pointers.

Gillespie struggled with his shooting again on Monday. He’s shooting 8-of-35 from the field over the last three games, while going 5-of-26 from beyond the arc over that same period. Yet, the former Villanova Wildcat made up for his shooting struggles by impressing as a passer against the Grizzlies; he reached double figures in assists for the first time in March to tally his third double-double of the season. Getting back on track as a three-point shooter would give a huge boost to Gillespie’s fantasy production. He’ll have a chance to land strong numbers on Tuesday against the Magic.
