The Trail Blazers’ approach of using “drop” coverage when defending the pick-and-roll proved costly, as Gillespie took advantage on multiple occasions in the most productive night of his NBA career. In addition to matching his season-high with eight three-pointers, the Suns’ guard notched his first 30-point game. Add in the assists and steals, and this was an excellent night for fantasy managers who have continued to roster Gillespie. His ceiling for the final two games of Week 16 depends on the availability of Devin Booker (ankle) and Jalen Green (hamstring, hip), who both remained out on Tuesday.
