Haywood Highsmith Agrees to Multi-Year Deal With Suns

Phoenix Suns forward Haywood Highsmith agreed to a multiyear contract Saturday, according to Shams Charania of ESPN. The 29-year-old wing is healthy after undergoing knee surgery in August and most recently averaged 6.5 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.5 assists across 24.6 minutes in 74 games with Miami last season. Highsmith profiles as a defensive-minded depth option behind Royce O'Neale and Dillon Brooks. His arrival could trim a few bench minutes from Amir Coffey or Ryan Dunn, but he remains off the fantasy radar outside deep formats.

Jalen Green Out Against Thunder

Phoenix Suns guard Jalen Green (hamstring) won't play in the second leg of a back-to-back on Wednesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. He will exit the lineup after a 12-point, four-assist effort across 20 minutes in Tuesday's win over Dallas. Devin Booker (ankle) also won't be in action against the defending champions, making Collin Gillespie and Jordan Goodwin more appealing fantasy options. With the number of backcourt absences, we are also likely to see Jamaree Bouyea in the rotation on Wednesday.

Devin Booker Skips Wednesday's Matchup

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (ankle) will miss Wednesday's meeting with the Oklahoma City Thunder. The team has ruled him out for the game after initially listing him as questionable. Booker played 32 minutes in Tuesday's win over Dallas and will rest his right ankle on Wednesday night. Jalen Green (hamstring) will also depart the lineup, which should result in additional minutes for Collin Gillespie and Jordan Goodwin. Booker's absence also opens up additional scoring opportunities for his teammates.

Grayson Allen to Be Re-Evaluated After All-Star Break

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Grayson Allen (knee) will be re-evaluated after the All-Star break after missing Saturday's loss to Philadelphia, temporarily halting a strong scoring run. Allen was providing steady scoring from the wing before his injury, and his absence creates a clear opening for increased perimeter usage. Royce O'Neale stepped up last game with 14 points, 11 rebounds, three assists, and two steals in 34 minutes, making him a short-term streamer. Jordan Goodwin logged 27 minutes but remains a deep-league option, while Devin Booker and Dillon Brooks should shoulder added scoring usage.

Grayson Allen Exits Early vs. Warriors

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Grayson Allen (knee) did not return late in Thursday's loss to Golden State after suffering a right knee injury, finishing with 21 points, five rebounds, four assists, and one steal in 33 minutes. His status for Saturday against Philadelphia remains uncertain. If Allen misses time, Phoenix's short-handed backcourt would lean more heavily on Collin Gillespie, Dillon Brooks, and Jordan Goodwin. Gillespie has averaged 17.0 points, 4.6 assists, and 4.8 three-pointers over his last five games, while Brooks has posted 24.8 points and 5.0 rebounds. Goodwin offers streaming value as a source of three-pointers, rebounds, and steals if his minutes tick up.

Jalen Green Questionable Against Golden State

Phoenix Suns guard Jalen Green (hamstring) is questionable for Thursday's matchup with the Warriors. The former Rocket has appeared in only five contests this season, so his fantasy upside will be limited even if he manages to suit up. With Devin Booker (ankle) still on the shelf, Collin Gillespie, Grayson Allen, Mark Williams, and Dillon Brooks should remain in line for larger offensive roles. Jordan Goodwin would likely continue to gain streaming attention from fantasy managers after finishing with 16 points and 10 boards in the win over the Trail Blazers on Tuesday.

Cole Anthony is Cleared for Wednesday's Game

Milwaukee Bucks guard Cole Anthony (ankle) is available to play ahead of Wednesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. As expected, Anthony is cleared to play after being listed as probable on the injury report. He twisted his ankle during Wednesday's game, but it's not serious enough to sideline him. This season, Anthony is averaging 6.7 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 3.5 assists in 15.1 minutes per game. He has mostly been playing minutes in the teens and figures to have a hard time getting more action with Kevin Porter Jr. returning on Wednesday. Anthony won't be an ideal streaming option going forward with Porter finally back in the mix.

Jalen Green Iffy for Tuesday Night

Phoenix Suns guard Jalen Green (hamstring, hip) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's tilt against the Portland Trail Blazers. After battling a hamstring injury throughout the campaign, Green also sustained a left hip contusion last week and could be out for a second consecutive game. With Devin Booker (ankle) also out of commission, Dillon Brooks and Grayson Allen led the offense in Sunday's defeat to the Los Angeles Clippers, scoring 45 of the team's 93 points. The backcourt injuries also allow Collin Gillespie and Jordan Goodwin to figure more prominently in the rotation.

Devin Booker Won't Play Tuesday

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (ankle) will remain sidelined on Tuesday against the Portland Trail Blazers. He will miss a sixth consecutive game but could be an option later this week. Dillon Brooks has been on a scoring tear during Booker's absence, with Grayson Allen also benefiting from more offensive touches. At the same time, Jordan Goodwin should maintain a significant role, particularly if Jalen Green (hamstring, hip) is unable to return. The team has listed Green as questionable for Tuesday night.

Jalen Green Out Against Clippers

Phoenix Suns guard Jalen Green (hamstring, hip) will miss Sunday's action against the Los Angeles Clippers. Green is managing a hamstring injury and also suffered a left hip contusion on Friday against Cleveland when he returned from a three-game absence. The Suns will also remain without Devin Booker (ankle) on Sunday, giving Grayson Allen, Collin Gillespie, and Jordan Goodwin an opportunity to see additional time on the court. The situation also benefits Dillon Brooks, who has been Phoenix's offense leader lately. Brooks has averaged 29.8 points over the last four contests.

Jalen Green Available Friday Against Cavaliers

Phoenix Suns guard Jalen Green (hamstring) is not listed on the injury report for Friday's contest against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He's on track to rejoin the lineup after sitting out three games. Due to a hamstring injury, Green has appeared in only four games this season, so the team will likely keep him on a light workload on Friday night. This means there will still be plenty of minutes available for the likes of Collin Gillespie, Grayson Allen, and Jordan Goodwin. At the same time, the trio will continue to benefit from Devin Booker's (ankle) absence.

Jalen Green Remains Out Thursday

Phoenix Suns guard Jalen Green (hamstring) won't play on Thursday against the Detroit Pistons, missing a third consecutive game. He initially carried a questionable tag on the injury report, giving hope that Green can return to the court soon. With no Devin Booker (ankle) either, the Suns' offense will continue to rely more on Dillon Brooks, Grayson Allen, and Jordan Goodwin. Additionally, the backcourt injuries have opened up a spot in the rotation for Jamaree Bouyea.

Collin Gillespie • PG • Suns

Collin Gillespie Returns From One-Game Absence

Phoenix Suns guard Collin Gillespie (hand) will return to action on Thursday night against the Detroit Pistons. He has shaken off a right-hand sprain, which kept Gillespie out on Tuesday against the Brooklyn Nets. Gillespie's return will be huge for a Suns backcourt that's without Devin Booker (ankle) and Jalen Green (hamstring). On Thursday, Gillespie faces a difficult matchup against the NBA's second-best defense, but he has been among Phoenix's best performers all season. In January, the Villanova product has posted 11.9 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists, and 1.4 steals per game.

Jordan Goodwin Starts Against Nets

Phoenix Suns guard Jordan Goodwin will make his third start of the season on Tuesday against the Brooklyn Nets. With Devin Booker (ankle), Jalen Green (hamstring), and Collin Gillespie (hand) all sidelined, the Suns are left shorthanded in the backcourt, and Goodwin will get a chance to make his first start since Nov. 24. In his previous two starts this season, Goodwin has averaged 11.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 2.0 steals. Given Phoenix's injury situation and the lack of offensive threats, it's reasonable to expect even bigger numbers from Goodwin on Tuesday.

Collin Gillespie Misses Tuesday's Matchup

Phoenix Suns guard Collin Gillespie (hand) has been ruled out for Tuesday's contest against the Brooklyn Nets. He was added late to the injury report due to a hand injury, and the Suns have downgraded Gillespie's status from questionable to out. The Villanova product joins Jalen Green (hamstring) and Devin Booker (ankle) on the sidelines, leaving Phoenix with very few offensive options. Grayson Allen, Dillon Brooks, and Jordan Goodwin are all set for larger roles in the attack, and Jamaree Bouyea could see a significant bump in playing time with the backcourt absentees.

Jalen Green Sits Out Tuesday's Game

Phoenix Suns guard Jalen Green (hamstring) won't be in action on Tuesday against the Brooklyn Nets. The team has ruled Green out for the contest after initially listing him as questionable. He will be sidelined for a second consecutive game. Phoenix is also currently without Devin Booker (ankle), giving additional fantasy value to Grayson Allen and Dillon Brooks, who must provide more offensively without the two. Collin Gillespie (hand) also benefits in the situation, but he is considered questionable for Tuesday's game.

Devin Booker Unavailable This Week

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (ankle) won't be available this week, sitting out a second consecutive game on Tuesday against the Brooklyn Nets. On Sunday, the team announced that it plans to re-evaluate Booker in one week, meaning he will be unavailable for at least a few more games after Tuesday night. Phoenix lost its leader to an ankle injury during a game against the Atlanta Hawks last Friday. Grayson Allen moved back into the first unit for Sunday's matchup against the Miami Heat, bagging 18 points, six rebounds, and three assists. The veteran sniper has been hot recently, but he finished with a 1-for-11 record from behind the arc against Miami. Booker's absence also adds fantasy appeal to Collin Gillespie and Jordan Goodwin.

Jalen Green Questionable to Suit Up on Tuesday

Phoenix Suns guard Jalen Green (hamstring) is considered questionable to play on Tuesday against Brooklyn. The 23-Year-old has been battling a nagging right hamstring strain since training camp. Although he managed to suit up for the recent win over the 76ers, he experienced tightness in the hamstring in the loss to the Atlanta Hawks on January 23, limiting him to only four minutes of action. While there's a good chance he won't be available, the injury designation at least suggests things may not be as bad as initially feared. With that said, Green will likely come off the bench if he can get on the floor, so he won't be the safest fantasy option until he's back to full strength. If he isn't out there, Grayson Allen should continue to benefit, with the former Duke Blue Devil most recently amassing 18 points in Sunday's loss to Miami.

Jalen Green is Ruled Out for Sunday's Game

Phoenix Suns guard Jalen Green (hamstring) is ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Miami Heat. Green made an early exit from Friday's game after appearing to aggravate his right hamstring. The Suns have decided to take the cautious approach and hold Green out for Sunday's contest. They will be shorthanded with Devin Booker (ankle) also heading to the sideline here. Their absence should mean, Grayson Allen and Collin Gillespie are likely going to play heavy minutes during this game. Both players are looking like strong streaming options for Sunday's slate. Fantasy managers will need to check back for another update on Green's timetable.

Devin Booker Ruled Out Sunday vs. Heat

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (ankle) will not play Sunday against Miami after exiting Friday's loss on crutches, and the situation carries multi-game risk. His absence funnels fantasy value to the backcourt. Grayson Allen has been steady, averaging 19.0 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 4.0 assists over his last five games with strong three-point volume. Collin Gillespie has also delivered, posting 15.8 points and 5.0 assists in that span while logging starter minutes. Jordan Goodwin remains a deeper-league option, but his production has swung night to night. Booker should be treated as doubtful for Tuesday.
