Ryan Dunn

PHX Small Forward #0

1dRyan Dunn shot 5-of-11 from the field in Sunday’s loss to the Kings, tallying 12 points, 10 rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block and two three-pointers in 30 minutes.

Dunn finished his rookie season with a double-double and a complete stat line on Sunday. While his season-long fantasy value was low, ranking outside the top-300 in eight- and nine-cat formats, Dunn did enough to earn consistent rotation minutes. He would move into the starting lineup for good in mid-March, providing top-150 value in nine-cat formats over the season’s final month. Like many other Suns, projecting Dunn’s fantasy value next season is difficult, as the roster should look far different.

Oso Ighodaro

PHX Center #4

1dOso Ighodaro tallied 10 points (5-of-7 FGs), four rebounds, three assists and one steal in 26 minutes in Sunday’s loss to the Kings.

Despite being replaced in the starting lineup by Mason Plumlee (4/5/3 in 22 minutes), Ighodaro still played more minutes in Sunday’s finale. The rookie center had moments in which he showed promise, but Mike Budenholzer’s rotation and the overall state of the Suns did not do Oso any favors. Ighodaro has the talent to be a factor in deeper fantasy formats, but that depends on what Phoenix’s roster looks like next season.

Tyus Jones

PHX Point Guard #21

1dTyus Jones amassed 17 points (7-of-13 FGs), two rebounds, four assists, one steal and three three-pointers in 26 minutes in Sunday’s loss to the Kings.

Jones finished his first season in Phoenix with a solid effort on Sunday. However, this was a disappointing campaign for a player believed to be the answer for the Suns at point guard. Jones fell out of the starting lineup in late February, with Sunday’s start being one of two he made over the season’s final six weeks. A 12th-round player in nine-cat formats because of his high assist-to-turnover ratio, Jones was ranked outside the top-150 in eight-cat. Depending on what the Suns’ roster looks like next season, Tyus will be a late-round option at best in standard league drafts.

Grayson Allen

PHX Shooting Guard #8

1dGrayson Allen finished Sunday’s loss to the Kings with 20 points (8-of-13 FGs), two rebounds, five assists and four three-pointers in 28 minutes.

The Suns played their season finale without Devin Booker and Bradley Beal, allowing Allen to figure prominently in the offensive game plan. He shot the ball well, making over 50 percent of his attempts, and fantasy managers in active leagues also benefitted from the assist tally. After a standout 2023-24 campaign, Allen returned to earth regarding fantasy value, finishing just outside the top-175 in eight- and nine-cat formats. His prospects for next season depend on how the Suns’ roster looks, as there is a clear need for change in Phoenix.

Mason Plumlee

PHX Center #22

1dTyus Jones, Collin Gillespie, Grayson Allen, Ryan Dunn and Mason Plumlee will start against the Kings on Sunday.

Four of the five starters from Friday’s game will remain the same, with Plumlee replacing Oso Ighodaro as the lone change. Ighodaro should still play a significant reserve role despite coming off the bench in Game 82.

Devin Booker

PHX Shooting Guard #1

2dDevin Booker (calf) is out for Sunday’s game against the Kings.

Booker will sit out Sunday’s season finale with a sore calf. While expected co-stars Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal did not hit 65 games due to injuries, Book made 75 appearances and provided top-25 value in eight-cat formats. He’s a safe bet to offer that production level, but it’s pretty clear that significant changes need to be made in Phoenix this offseason. Whether or not that involves Booker remains to be seen. Collin Gillespie should move into the starting lineup on Sunday.

Bradley Beal

PHX Shooting Guard #3

2dBradley Beal (rest) and Nick Richards (elbow) are out for Sunday’s game against the Kings.

The Suns have nothing to play for on Sunday, so Beal will sit for rest. To say this was a disappointing season for the veteran guard would be fair, as injuries limited him to 53 appearances. His absence means more playing time for Grayson Allen, who can provide points and three-pointers in that role. As for Richards, his fantasy impact after being traded to Phoenix was not what many managers hoped for. His continued absence means Oso Ighodaro will stay in the starting lineup, allowing the rookie to provide deep-league value.

Collin Gillespie

PHX Point Guard #12

3dCollin Gillespie recorded 13 points (4-of-13 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), seven rebounds, two assists, one steal, one block and three three-pointers in 22 minutes in Friday’s win over the Spurs.

Gillespie remains on a two-way contract, making games like Friday’s extremely important as he looks to carve out a consistent role. He played well enough over the past month to earn rotation minutes in Phoenix, but the franchise appears to be headed for significant changes once this disappointing season concludes. Sunday’s game in Sacramento should allow Gillespie to log substantial minutes, especially if the Suns sit Devin Booker and Bradley Beal.

Devin Booker

PHX Shooting Guard #1

3dDevin Booker tallied 18 points (8-of-12 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), three rebounds, five assists, one block and one three-pointer in 28 minutes in Friday’s win over the Spurs.

Booker’s playing time decreased on Friday, playing 28 minutes in the Suns’ home finale after logging 40 in Wednesday’s loss to the Thunder. Of course, Phoenix was eliminated from postseason contention earlier in the week, so there’s no need for Booker to play starters’ minutes. For that reason, fantasy managers should plan for the possibility that he does not play in Sunday’s season finale in Sacramento.

Bradley Beal

PHX Shooting Guard #3

3dBradley Beal recorded 21 points (8-of-13 FGs), four rebounds, six assists and five three-pointers in 28 minutes in Friday’s win over the Spurs.

Beal has surpassed 20 points in his last two outings, but it’s a “too little, too late” case for one of the most disappointing teams in the NBA this season. The veteran guard playing 28 minutes with nothing on the line was surprising, but Friday’s game was also Phoenix’s home finale. If he plays at all, fantasy managers in active leagues should anticipate Beal’s playing time being limited for Sunday’s game against the Kings.
