Green left the first quarter of Wednesday’s game against the Mavericks after just four minutes of action. He limped off the floor and headed to the locker room, and although he was never ruled out, he was ultimately deemed questionable before never returning. Green has struggled with injuries throughout his first season in Phoenix, and another one this late into the schedule is certainly untimely. His injury status will be one to monitor with just two regular-season games remaining.

Brooks bounced back from a rough outing against the Rockets to nearly reach the 30-point mark on Wednesday. In the victory, he shot the ball efficiently and used the three-point shot effectively. He was also solid on the glass, although he didn’t provide many contributions in other statistical categories. Nonetheless, the veteran wing’s production against the Mavericks should give him some positive momentum going into Friday’s matchup with the Lakers.

Booker, as usual, did quite a bit for the Suns on Wednesday. He led the team in scoring, nearly reaching the 40-point mark, contributed on the glass, and fell one assist shy of a double-double. The versatile combo guard has really turned things up a notch down the stretch of the season; he’s scored at least 30 points in three straight games and five of the last six overall. The Suns are locked into the seventh seed in the Western Conference and will host either the Clippers or Trail Blazers in the Play-In Tournament. Before then, Booker and the Suns will face the Lakers on Friday and the Thunder on Sunday to close the regular season.

Goodwin injured his left ankle during the first half and was ruled out during the halftime break. He finished with nine points (3-of-7 FGs), three rebounds, one assist, one steal and three three-pointers in 13 minutes. Collin Gillespie, who was in the starting lineup until recently, started the third quarter for Goodwin.

The Suns won’t have Mark Williams for Wednesday’s game, an expected development as this is Phoenix’s second game in as many nights. However, it will be Maluach who replaces him in the starting lineup, with Oso Ighodaro remaining with the second unit. The Suns still need to win in order to lock up the seventh seed in the West, but Maluach may get extended run in these final three regular-season games.

Allen’s absence on Wednesday will remove a three-point shooting threat from the Suns’ rotation. Allen is averaging a career-best 3.2 made three-pointers per game. While sidelined, Royce O’Neale could be Phoenix’s go-to three-point shooter off the bench.

Green struggled on Tuesday, missing all four of his three-point attempts. Over his last four games, the Suns guard has shot 5-of-22 from beyond the arc. While productive nights in the mid-range and around the basket boosted Green’s points tally in games against the Suns and Bulls, he only made five two-pointers against the Rockets. He’ll look to bounce back on Wednesday against the Mavericks.

After playing 26 minutes in his return to the Suns’ starting lineup on Sunday, Williams played 28 minutes on Tuesday. While the increase in playing time was slight, his workload will be something to watch in Phoenix’s last three regular-season games. Oso Ighodaro (8/5/1/1/1) played 19 minutes off the bench, with his role taking a hit since Williams’ return to action. The Suns host Dallas on Wednesday, a spot where they could look to rest Williams. If so, Ighodaro would start.

Booker has scored 30 points or more in four of his last five games, and his 31-point effort on Tuesday was supplemented by eight assists. A 15-of-16 night from the foul line helped boost the point total, but the defeat locked the Suns into the Play-In Tournament. Phoenix still has a little work to do to ensure it will remain in seventh, which would guarantee it home court in the 7 vs. 8 game.

Miller had 20 points, but not much else in the loss to the Celtics on Tuesday. The Hornets were 16-of-49 from behind the three-point line in this one and the 23-year-old small forward contributed to the total by going 2-of-8. Miller has provided top-60 per game value this season, making him a value at his preseason ADP.

Ball followed up his 35-point performance in Sunday’s win over the Timberwolves with 36 points against the Celtics, though the Hornets weren’t fortunate enough to win this time. The 24-year-old point guard has been as advertised this year. There were great highs and lows, but in the end Ball stayed healthy and provided fourth-round per game value over the course of the season. That’s a win for his fantasy managers this year.

White was downgraded to questionable Tuesday afternoon and subsequently ruled out with left groin soreness. The 26-year-old has excelled in a bench role since coming over from the Bulls before the trade deadline. Tre Mann could see a slight boost in minutes and production with White sidelined.

While this decision doesn’t change much for McClung beyond the fact that he doesn’t have to pay a fine, it has far more significant implications for Brooks.

Brooks will be available for Tuesday’s game against the Rockets.

Brooks picked up his 18th technical foul in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s win over the Bulls. If it’s not rescinded by the NBA, the 30-year-old shooting guard will be suspended for Tuesday’s game against the Rockets. Royce O’Neale would likely move into the starting lineup if Brooks is suspended.

Since coming over from the Bulls in a trade before this year’s deadline, White has routinely played 25 minutes or less per game. The 26-year-old point guard has displayed remarkable offensive efficiency with the Hornets as he’s consistently put up points without playing a ton of minutes. Sunday was his ninth game with at least 16 points in his last 12 games, and he did it despite just 20 minutes. White is most useful in points and category leagues because of his lack of production in the other categories.

Bridges has now scored 25 points in two of his last three games and at least 19 points in four consecutive games. The 28-year-old small forward stepped up for the Hornets on a night when Kon Knueppel and Brandon Miller combined for just 18 points.

Ball had two 30-point games in the entire month of March and wasted no time by dropping 35 points in his third game in April.

With Moussa Diabaté out with a sore ankle, Kalkbrenner made his first start since February 22 on Friday.

Before Friday, Knueppel went nearly three weeks without consecutive 20-point games. He and the other Hornets did much of what they wanted to offensively, shooting 24-of-49 from beyond the arc. Knueppel was responsible for three made threes, moving to 7-of-16 over his last two games. It’s safe to say that he’s snapped out of the two-game mini-slump in which he shot 1-of-9 from beyond the arc.

Miller did a good job scoring-wise on Friday, but the defensive contributions, as limited as they were, are a notable story from Friday’s win. Before Friday, he had last recorded at least one steal and one block in the same game on March 6. That isn’t a strong suit of Miller’s in terms of fantasy value, so Friday’s line was a welcome bonus for those rostering him. The Hornets play once more in Week 23, at Minnesota on Sunday.

Goodwin played 12 minutes in Thursday’s defeat, with his night coming to an end late in the third quarter. The Suns guard had his right arm landed on by Hornets center Ryan Kalkbrenner, but that was not the issue that forced his exit. Following the game, Suns head coach Jordan Ott said Goodwin injured his left calf, the same one that sidelined him for seven games in late February/early March. A potential absence would not affect fantasy basketball, but it would leave the Suns shorthanded on the wings.

Available for the first time in a month, Williams made his return to action in the city where he began his NBA career. The Suns’ center was used in a reserve role, and he scored efficiently in his 20 minutes. Add in the three blocks, and this was a good night for Williams despite the defeat. Oso Ighodaro remained in the starting lineup, tallying six points, nine rebounds and one assist in 25 minutes.

In addition to making four of his nine three-point attempts, the rookie wing is up to 35 games with at least 20 points. At a minimum, Knueppel is one of the favorites for Rookie of the Year, along with college teammate Cooper Flagg.

Ball’s point total may not have been as high as many fantasy managers have grown accustomed to, but he had one of his best floor games of the season on Thursday. In addition to racking up 11 assists, the Hornets point guard did not commit a turnover. This was Ball’s first game of the season in which he reached double figures in assists without committing a turnover.

The Hornets received 46 points from their bench on Thursday, with White’s 19 leading the way. The reserve guard has averaged 18.7 points per game over his last ten appearances, shooting 49.2 percent from the field.
