Booker’s participation in practice means he’s got a chance to take the court Sunday against the Lakers after four straight absences. Booker’s return should mean less opportunities for Collin Gillespie, but Gillespie still has standalone value. Fantasy managers should hang onto Gillespie until further notice.

Smith had some good games with Alperen Sengun sidelined and had another good game with Sengun back in the lineup against the Clippers Thursday. The 22-year-old power forward has provided top-100 value this season, but has a limited ceiling playing alongside Sengun and Kevin Durant.

Thompson was just one rebound and two assists shy of a triple-double against the Clippers on Wednesday. The 22-year-old point guard has scored at least 20 points in four of his last five games. The Rockets are off until Monday when they’ll take on the Nuggets.

Sengun hadn’t played in over a week due to an illness, but he still had a great game Thursday. The 23-year-old center has recorded a double-double in three consecutive games played. Only Nikola Jokic has more games with at least 20 points, at least 15 rebounds and at least five assists this year.

It wasn’t the Suns’ night against the Thunder on Wednesday and no one incapsulated that better than Brooks. The 29-year-old shooting guard had 16 points on 16 shots and was a -47 in 26 minutes in the 49-point loss. It was a bad night against the defending champions and Brooks is in a bit of a slump going 11-of-36 over the last two games. He’s still had a productive season and should be rostered in most fantasy leagues.

Allen had 10 points in 22 minutes before he was assessed a flagrant foul and ejected against the Thunder on Wednesday. The foul came when Allen shoved Chet Holmgren to the ground mid-play with the Suns trailing by 36 points midway through the third quarter. It’s unclear if the league will further punish Allen.

Brooks, who was a game-time decision with a sore Achilles tendon, did not have his best night shooting the basketball. However, that should not put a damper on what has been a surprisingly productive season for the Suns’ wing. Brooks is providing top-100 value in eight-cat formats, which exceeds his Yahoo! ADP (140) by a solid margin. Whether he can keep this up for the entire season remains to be seen, but Brooks deserves consideration in more 12-team formats. He’s currently rostered in 43 percent of Yahoo! leagues.
PHX • Guard • #12

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.

The move to Phoenix has given Williams a new lease on life basketball-wise. Health has not been an issue thus far, which is far more important than his scoring and rebounding averages decreasing compared to his 2024-25 numbers. Williams’ 22 points on Monday were the most in a game for him since October 27, when he recorded a season-high 25 in a loss to the Jazz. Over the past two weeks, the 7-footer has provided fourth-round value in eight-cat formats.

Brooks, who has not missed a game since November 6, is dealing with a sore left Achilles tendon. If he’s unable to play on Monday, the Suns will likely turn to Ryan Dunn to fill the void in the starting lineup. Dunn would be worth a look in deep leagues, as the Suns won’t have Devin Booker available, either.

Monday’s game will be the third that Booker has missed since suffering a strained right groin during the Suns’ December 1 win over the Lakers. There is hope that he will be able to play in Wednesday’s NBA Cup quarterfinal against the Thunder, but that isn’t guaranteed. Collin Gillespie should remain in the starting lineup, which has raised his fantasy ceiling.

On a night when their starting backcourt of Amen Thompson and Josh Okogie combined to score 15 points, the Rockets received solid contributions from Holiday and Reed Sheppard (12/2/3 with two three-pointers) off the bench. The 19 points were the second-most in a game this season for Holiday, who has reached double figures in six of his last seven appearances. However, his fantasy value remains extremely low. The recent run does not change the fact that managers should leave Holiday on the waiver wire.

Smith took advantage of Alperen Şengün’s absence due to an illness, recording a complete stat line while shooting better than 50 percent from the field. While he has reached double figures in scoring in 13 straight games, Saturday’s defeat was the third in which Smith scored at least 20 points. While he is providing top-100 value, Smith has a limited ceiling due to the presence of Şengün and Kevin Durant.

Of the 71 points scored by Rockets starters, Durant and Jabari Smith Jr. were responsible for 49 of them. The limited production from the other starters was too much to overcome in Dallas, as Houston desperately missed Alperen Şengün (illness). Over the past two weeks, Durant has provided top-15 value in eight- and nine-cat formats. Houston plays once during Week 8, and they’ll have a total of five games in leagues that will combine Weeks 8 and 9 to account for the NBA Cup.

Şengün will miss a second straight game, with Steven Adams replacing him in the starting lineup for Friday’s win over the Suns. However, with Adams also out, Clint Capela could move into the starting lineup on Saturday. He hasn’t affected fantasy basketball this season, but the chance to start may change that.

Smith Jr. tallied another double-digit scoring performance, marking his 18th in 19 games this season — he didn’t get many looks at the rim on Friday but made the most of his opportunities. There wasn’t much production elsewhere for the fourth-year forward against Phoenix, but it wasn’t needed in the lopsided win. He’ll have a chance to find more production on Saturday against Dallas.

Thompson put on a stellar display of basketball on the offensive end against the Suns. He made use of the charity stripe but also dominated inside the arc, making 11 two-point shots before reaching the 30-point mark for the first time all season. He led all scorers for the game and extended his streak of 20-point games to three. He’ll have a chance to secure another high-scoring outing against the Mavericks on Saturday.

Durant put on a very balanced performance on Friday in the first game of the season against his former team. He was accurate inside the arc, as well as beyond it, but also dished out a game-high in assists while being active on the defensive end. Arguably, the only blemish on the night for the two-time Finals MVP was the five turnovers he committed. He otherwise had a successful outing and continues to play well in his first season with the Rockets.

Boyea produced a season-high in points and finished as the Suns’ second leading scorer on Friday. More than half of his scoring production came in the fourth quarter when the game was mostly out of reach and in the Rockets’ favor. Still, he shot efficiently and made the most of his 18 minutes of game action. While Friday’s outing was a strong one, Bouyea is not someone to consider rostering in fantasy leagues.

The momentum from Monday’s 28-point outing against the Lakers did not carry over into Friday’s contest for Gillespie. He went 1-of-7 from deep and scored fewer than half the points he produced in Monday’s season-high performance. Still, Gillespie was the Suns’ third-leading scorer on the night and threw in a few assists along the way. He’ll need to have more productive games to be considered anything more than a fringe roster player in fantasy leagues. However, he’s proven recently capable of turning out some strong performances.

Brooks was Phoenix’s go-to scorer on Friday with Devin Booker (groin) sidelined, and he finished as the team’s only player to tally at least 20 points. He didn’t get there in the most efficient way, but Brook’s high volume allowed him to go beyond his season’s scoring average, even without making a three-pointer for the first time as a Phoenix Suns player. He tied a season-high in assists and was mediocre on the glass without collecting any stocks. Brooks has certainly turned out better fantasy performances, but Friday wasn’t a dud by any means. Still, he’ll look to be more productive on Monday against the Timberwolves.

In their first game without Devin Booker (groin), the Suns’ Grayson Allen will return to the starting lineup after he missed the previous game with an illness. Phoenix has dealt with injuries throughout the season but has still managed to produce a 13-9 record. The Suns will look to avenge their recent loss to the Rockets on Friday in Dillon Brooks’ first game in Houston after being traded.

Şengün was downgraded from questionable to out ahead of Friday’s matchup with the Suns. The Rockets will instead start veteran center Steven Adams in place of Şengün as they look to secure a second win over Phoenix this season.

A 20-point scorer in two consecutive games for the third time this season, Thompson recorded his fourth double-double on Wednesday. Also, this was his first game with at least 20 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists since November 5 against the Grizzlies. While he still hasn’t reached the heights that many fantasy managers hoped he would before the season began, Thompson has been a top-50 player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks.

In addition to scoring at least 24 points in each of his last three games, Durant dished out a season-high eight assists on Wednesday. Given his skill set, it’s unsurprising that the future Hall of Fame forward has fit in seamlessly with his new teammates. Durant may not be providing first-round fantasy value, but he’s been far from a slouch in his new home. Houston closes its Week 7 with a back-to-back against the Suns (Friday) and Mavericks (Sunday).

The Kings struggled to find an answer for Şengün, who recorded his 11th double-double of the season on Wednesday. For the season, the Rockets center is providing top-25 value in eight-cat formats, which aligns with his Yahoo! ADP (19). As long as Şengün stays healthy, those who have him rostered should be well-positioned to compete in their leagues throughout the season.

Booker injured his right groin during the first quarter of Monday’s win over the Lakers and did not return. He has since been diagnosed with a strain. He will be re-evaluated in one week, taking at least three games off the table, including the NBA Cup quarterfinal matchup with Oklahoma City on December 10. Jordan Goodwin is a potential replacement in the starting lineup, but only if Grayson Allen is unavailable. Having recently missed time with a quad contusion, Allen did not play on Monday due to illness.

Booker was enjoying a nice opening quarter against the Lakers before a groin injury forced him to exit before the period’s end, and ultimately kept him out the remainder of the game. The severity of his injury is unknown to this point, but should the superstar guard be sidelined for any amount of time, Jordan Goodwin would likely fill in as the fifth starter. Phoenix has just one more game this week, which isn’t until Friday, leaving Booker time to recover and miss little, if any, action.

With Devin Booker exiting after just 10 minutes due to a groin injury, Gillespie joined Dillon Brooks in carrying the Suns to another impressive victory. The former Villanova Wildcat served the Lakers a season high in points and three-pointers, while matching his season average in assists along the way. Gillespie has been one of several Suns players to outperform expectations thus far, and should remain productive as Phoenix’s current starting point guard. He’s worthy of a roster spot in fantasy leagues.

Brooks carried the scoring load for the Suns on Monday, with Devin Booker (groin) being limited to 10 minutes of game action. He was aggressive in his approach, generating a season-high in field goal attempts along the way, but shot efficiently enough to log his third 30-point game as a member of the Suns. Brooks has brought both production and intangibles to Phoenix on both ends of the floor, which has the team playing far better than most predicted. He could be even more productive going forward, depending on the significance of Booker’s injury.

Thompson finished with at least 20 points for the third time in the last five games, with his production inside the arc being key on Monday. Despite the loss, his scoring was significantly higher than the five points he posted the night prior against the Jazz. Yet, Thompson didn’t have nearly the same level of success as a facilitator this time around. Nonetheless, the third-year guard had a solid performance overall and should be able to secure another against the Kings on Wednesday.

Sengün was fantastic in Monday’s loss, reaching the 30-point mark for the third time this season while providing much more production as a rebounder and facilitator than the previous night against the Jazz. And as if his near-triple-double wasn’t enough, the fifth-year center had his most dominant defensive performance of the season from a fantasy basketball standpoint, tallying seven stocks for the game. Sengün is likely to make a massive impact on the offensive end each time he takes the floor. If his defensive production can remain consistent, his floor and ceiling will rise even further in fantasy leagues.

Durant was one of two Rockets to pass the 30-point mark on Monday in Salt Lake City. He tallied as many free throws as he did made field goals in this game, with high volume allowing his inefficient shooting to make enough scoring production to lead Houston in points. The two-time Finals MVP also tied a season-high in rebounds to fall just shy of a double-double. His five turnovers were one of his limited weaknesses on the night. He’ll have a chance to put together another strong performance against the Kings on Wednesday.

The injury seemed to occur late in the first quarter of Monday’s game. Booker was charged with an offensive foul and then subbed out immediately and replaced by Collin Gillespie before heading to the locker room. He was eventually ruled out before the start of the second half. Without Booker, the team’s most accomplished player, Jordan Goodwin, could see more action. The significance of Booker’s injury is unknown for now.

Adams only logged 17 minutes in this game, but that was enough time for him to record his third double-double of the season. He was able to dominate down low, but also at the free throw line, which is typically a weakness for him. Adams is shooting a career-best 73.3 percent from the line after shooting 46.2 percent last year and 36.4 percent the year before. He’ll only be worth consistently streaming when Alperen Şengün is unavailable, but this was a strong performance for him.

Şengün didn’t supply his typical dose of rebounds and dimes, but he was unstoppable as a scorer.

Sheppard played 31 minutes in the blowout win, and while he didn’t do much scoring, he was able to make a big impact on this game.

Following a two-game absence, KD was able to get back on track after struggling in his last two appearances.

Durant will continue to be an elite fantasy basketball option, even if his numbers are slightly down from his typical output. Hopefully this efficient shooting night will help kickstart his offense and lead to a strong run. They’ll remain in Utah to take on the Jazz again on Monday.
