Collin Gillespie tallied 19 points (6-of-15 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), six rebounds, four assists, one block and three three-pointers in Monday's win over the Timberwolves.Gillespie has emerged as a player worth considering in 12-team formats, especially with Devin Booker and Jalen Green sidelined by injuries. He's been given a green light on offense, and the former two-way contract player has taken advantage. Gillespie scored 11 points in the fourth quarter on Monday, the second time this season that he's proven to be the difference in a win over the Timberwolves. If Booker can't play in Wednesday's NBA Cup quarterfinal against the Thunder, Gillespie will be worth picking up in standard leagues.
Collin Gillespie led the Suns with 24 points (9-of-16 FGs), three rebounds, four assists, one steal and six three-pointers in a 123-119 loss to the Thunder on Friday.Gillespie continues to prove that he is a legitimate, reliable option for the Suns, and as this team gets healthy, head coach Jordan Ott is going to have some tough decisions to make. Gillespie has been starting in place of Grayson Allen (quad) and Jalen Green (hamstring) is still out as well. Gillespie has earned his place in the rotation, but there may not be enough minutes to go around. For now, he should be rostered everywhere, regardless of league format.
Isaiah Livers (hip) is out for Friday's game against the Thunder.Added to the injury report Friday afternoon, Livers will sit with a sore right hip. His absence does not affect fantasy basketball, even with the Suns not having Jalen Green or Grayson Allen.
Jordan Goodwin accounted for 15 points (7-of-15 FGs), 10 rebounds, three assists, one steal and one three-pointer in Sunday's win over the Spurs.With Jalen Green, Grayson Allen and Ryan Dunn all out due to injury, Goodwin was tabbed to make his first start of the season on Sunday. He recorded his first double-double of the season, doing everything but block a shot. Collin Gillespie, whose opportunities have also increased due to the injuries, added 15 points, three rebounds, six assists, one steal and three three-pointers in 29 minutes off the bench. As long as the Suns are shorthanded on the perimeter, Gillespie and Goodwin will have value in deep leagues.
Devin Booker, Jordan Goodwin, Dillon Brooks, Royce O'Neale and Mark Williams will start Sunday's game against the Spurs.Already without Jalen Green and Grayson Allen, the Suns won't have Ryan Dunn for Sunday's game. As a result, Goodwin will move into the starting lineup for the first time this season. While the change raises Goodwin's fantasy ceiling, Collin Gillespie remains the superior streaming option. The other four starters are unchanged.
