Ryan

Dunn

Dunn got his second straight start with the Suns locked into the seventh seed in the West. He was held to just one point in Friday’s loss to the Lakers, but he was much better in this game against the OKC backups. Dunn has been a solid rotation piece through the year, but he was mothballed in April. Dunn won’t produce to this level often, but it was a good reminder that he can still contribute for fantasy managers when he gets the chance.

The only Suns starter to play more than 21 minutes on Friday was Ryan Dunn (one point, two rebounds, one assist and one steal), who logged 28. Brooks played 21 minutes, checking out for good during the third quarter. With the Suns locked into their seed for the postseason and Grayson Allen (hamstring) going down during the second quarter of Friday’s game, it would be unsurprising if the team rested Brooks and its other key players ahead of Tuesday’s Play-In game against the Trail Blazers or the Clippers.

The Suns are without Jordan Goodwin, Devin Booker and Jalen Green, freeing up three spots in the starting lineup. Gillespie, Allen and Dunn will start, with the first two offering a higher offensive ceiling for fantasy managers in active leagues.

Dunn will be back following a one-game absence. He’ll return to playing a large role off the bench, which will take away a few minutes from Rasheer Fleming with Royce O’Neale healthy as well.

Coffey’s continued absence does not affect fantasy basketball, but it does rob the Suns of another bench option on the wing. Ryan Dunn is available and may pick up a few more minutes due to the absences of Coffey and Haywood Highsmith.

Dunn was a late addition to the injury report, and now he won’t be available against Denver. Rasheer Fleming, who has played well recently, should take on extra minutes off the bench.

Coffey sprained his left ankle during the first half of Thursday’s game and was helped back to the locker room. He has since been ruled out for the rest of the night. Ryan Dunn and Rasheer Fleming may absorb the minutes that would have gone to Coffey.

O’Neale, who started and played 29 minutes in Tuesday’s loss to the Timberwolves, will not play against the Spurs. His absence frees up a spot in the starting lineup, with Ryan Dunn and Rasheer Fleming being potential replacements. Both should see their minutes increase out of necessity.

O’Neale is dealing with a sore left knee after starting Tuesday’s loss to the Timberwolves and playing 29 minutes. If he’s unable to play, Ryan Dunn and Rasheer Fleming are two players whose minutes may increase, especially if Grayson Allen (knee) is also out.

O’Neale was also questionable ahead of Friday’s win over the Pelicans, a game in which he would start and play 31 minutes. If he’s unable to play on Sunday, Grayson Allen and Ryan Dunn are potential replacements in the starting lineup.
