Rotoworld Player News

Devin Booker

PHX Guard #1

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Devin Booker led the Suns with 22 points (5-of-14 FGs, 11-of-13 FTs), three rebounds, eight assists and one three-pointer in a 125-123 loss to the Nuggets on Tuesday.

Booker had a rough shooting night, but he was able to make up for it by scoring half of his point at the free throw line and dishing out plenty of dimes. It wasn’t enough to get the win, and the Suns have now lost six of their last seven games. They only have one more game left this week, which will limit his impact for fantasy managers. Still, it is against the tanking Jazz, so it should at least be a strong performance from him.
Grayson Allen

PHX Guard #8

Grayson Allen provided a boost off the bench with 21 points (8-of-19 FGs), five rebounds, three assists, one steal and five three-pointers against the Nuggets on Tuesday.

Allen returned to the lineup following a four-game absence with a knee injury. He didn’t shoot efficiently, but he was still able to contribute buckets off the bench in the loss. Allen will continue to play big minutes off the bench when healthy, which should lead to more strong outings like this one. Unfortunately, the Suns only have one game left this week, which will limit his upside.
Royce O'Neale

PHX Forward #00

Royce O’Neale returned to the lineup on Tuesday and contributed 17 points (5-of-8 FGs), five rebounds, three assists, one steal, three blocks and five three-pointers against the Nuggets.

Following a three-game absence with left knee soreness, O’Neale was back in the lineup for this game. He was on fire from deep and was still able to make contributions on defense. Stretching back to before his absence, he has hit at least two triples in six straight games. He’ll continue to start with Dillon Brooks (hand) sidelined, making him worth streaming.
Royce O'Neale

PHX Forward #00

Royce O’Neale (knee) is available to play against the Nuggets on Tuesday.

O’Neale will be back following a three-game absence. He will immediately return to the starting unit, which will push Jordan Goodwin back to the bench after a few productive starts.
Grayson Allen

PHX Guard #8

Grayson Allen (knee) is available to play against the Nuggets on Tuesday.

Allen will be back following a four-game absence with this knee injury. Collin Gillespie may continue to start, but he will likely lose out on minutes with Allen back in the lineup.
Ryan Dunn

PHX Forward #0

Ryan Dunn (groin) has been ruled out against the Nuggets on Tuesday.

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.
Haywood Highsmith

PHX Forward #19

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

The continued absences of Highsmith and Coffey mean that the Suns have less depth on the wings, but this does not affect fantasy basketball. Both players should remain on the waiver wire, regardless of league size.
Royce O'Neale

PHX Forward #00

Royce O’Neale (knee) is probable for Tuesday’s game against the Nuggets.

Having missed the Suns’ last three games, O’Neale is on track to return on Tuesday. If so, Jordan Goodwin is likely headed to the bench, eliminating most of his streaming value.
Grayson Allen

PHX Guard #8

Grayson Allen (knee) is questionable for Tuesday’s game against the Nuggets.

Allen has missed Phoenix’s last four games, resulting in starting guard Collin Gillespie playing a few more minutes than he does when the Suns’ perimeter rotation is close to complete. If Allen is available on Tuesday, Gillespie is not a lock to meet 30 minutes, much less exceed it.
Jordan Goodwin

PHX Guard #23

Jordan Goodwin finished Sunday’s win over the Raptors with 14 points (5-of-11 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), seven rebounds, two steals and three three-pointers.

After providing limited value in his first two starts for the injured Royce O’Neale (knee), Goodwin was more impactful on Sunday. The 14 points were the most he’s scored in a game since February 21, which was the last game he played before being sidelined by a strained calf. Add in the rebounds, steals and three-pointers, and Sunday was a good finish to Week 21 for Goodwin and those streaming him. With the Suns playing two games in Week 22, it’s safe to move on, even if O’Neale has to miss more time.
