Williamson, who is on a 10-day contract, will get the first start of his career. Coward, Jackson and Spencer will be back in the starting unit after missing Sunday’s game. Walter Clayton Jr. and Toby Okani will be pushed back to the bench, while Taylor Hendricks and Rayan Rupert, who started on Sunday, will be sidelined for this game.

Gibson was downgraded from doubtful to out ahead of Monday’s contest. The veteran forward had returned from a foot injury in the previous game against Milwaukee, but his absence on Monday could indicate that he’s still dealing with pain. Gibson is averaging 3.5 points and 2.6 rebounds per game, playing a minimal role for the Grizzlies.

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. Had the technical foul been upheld, it would have been the veteran wing’s 18th of the season, triggering his second one-game suspension. 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 If it’s not rescinded by the NBA, the 30-year-old shooting guard will be suspended for Tuesday’s game against the Rockets.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.

Due to injuries, Whitehead was one of four Grizzlies to play at least 36 minutes on Sunday. He didn’t shoot the ball particularly well, but give the former first-round pick credit for not getting cheated on his attempts. Toby Okani (nine points, four rebounds, one steal and one three-pointer) played 41 minutes and Lucas Williamson (5/3/4/1 with one three-pointer) played 36 on Sunday; in addition to Whitehead, those two should play plenty in Week 24.

Despite the Grizzlies being down multiple point guards due to injury, Clayton logged 25 minutes in Milwaukee. He missed Friday’s loss to the Raptors due to illness, which may have affected the rookie’s playing time. However, Clayton played well in his time on the floor, shooting 4-of-6 from three and making more than 50 percent of his shots overall. The Grizzlies play four games in Week 24 without a back-to-back; we’ll see who’s available.

The silly season tends to produce stat lines that make little sense to fantasy managers. That’s precisely what happened in Milwaukee on Sunday, as Rupert had the game of his NBA career. Not only did he record his first triple-double, but he became the first Grizzlies player to record a 30-point triple-double with at least four steals. While Rupert’s line is a cause for celebration among those rostering him, others may use it as evidence that fantasy seasons should not run through Week 23.

Green picked up where he left off in Thursday’s loss to the Hornets as the 24-year-old guard had another 25-point game. He’s now had at least 20 points in eight of his last nine outings. Green has provided top-75 per game value over the last two weeks. His scoring and fantasy value have been on another level since the beginning of March. The Suns finish the regular season with four games in the final week, which includes a matchup against Green’s former team the Rockets on Tuesday.

Booker and the Suns pulled away from the Bulls late as Phoenix led by two points entering the fourth quarter, but won the game by 10. The 29-year-old shooting guard led the Suns in scoring.

The Grizzlies have been decimated by injuries, especially on the perimeter.

Small struggled from beyond the arc on Friday but used strong two-point scoring to work his way into double figures as a scorer. The rookie guard also made an impact on the glass in his 27 minutes during the blowout loss. Small has proven himself to be a quality lead guard following the All-Star Break. He’ll have a chance to put up another solid line against the Bucks on Sunday.

Coward’s final line didn’t pop, but he was still one of the Grizzlies’ top performers on the evening. He finished as the team’s second-leading scorer, collected a few stocks, and made a pair of three-pointers, albeit on inefficient shooting. The rookie forward hasn’t had many big performances lately; he’s mostly just provided value as a scorer down the stretch of the season.

Murray followed his 20-point outing against the Knicks with an even higher-scoring performance on Friday, setting a new season-high against the Raptors. Eighteen of Jackson’s points and three of his three-pointers came after halftime. The third-year forward’s strong second half of the season has been encouraging after a slower start to the year. Given the Grizzlies’ injuries and roster construction throughout the year, he will be an interesting player to project next fantasy season.

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. The Suns are off until Sunday, and it would be unsurprising if Williams and Ighodaro swapped roles in that day’s game against the Bulls.

The good news for fantasy managers was that he put up solid rebound and assist numbers, salvaging something from what was a disappointing night.

Green’s streak of 20-point performances grew to five games on Monday, with efficient shooting both inside and outside the arc leading him to finish as the Suns’ second-leading scorer. The athletic scoring guard likely could have seen even greater numbers if not for the Suns taking a sizable lead in the fourth quarter, which would leave him on the bench for the entire final frame.

Gillespie struggled with his shooting again on Monday. He’s shooting 8-of-35 from the field over the last three games, while going 5-of-26 from beyond the arc over that same period. Yet, the former Villanova Wildcat made up for his shooting struggles by impressing as a passer against the Grizzlies; he reached double figures in assists for the first time in March to tally his third double-double of the season. Getting back on track as a three-point shooter would give a huge boost to Gillespie’s fantasy production. He’ll have a chance to land strong numbers on Tuesday against the Magic.

Booker was highly productive on Monday en route to Phoenix’s second win in as many games.

While the lack of high minutes limited his overall production, fantasy managers still have to come away from Monday’s game pleased with Booker’s contributions.

Ighodaro didn’t miss a shot from the field on Saturday; such is life when you’re able to play off of guards who can set you up around the basketball consistently. While his fantasy value has remained relatively low, the second-year center has done enough to merit rostering in deep leagues while the Suns await Mark Williams’ return from a foot injury. Ighodaro’s role for Week 23 should remain the same, which is good for those who have been rostering him.

On a night when starter Collin Gillespie (0/3/7/1/1) missed all eight of his three-point attempts, Allen’s shooting off the bench was critical. He made four of his 11 three-point attempts while also recording a complete stat line in one of his better all-around performances since the All-Star break. Allen has played 23 and 21 minutes in two games since returning from a knee injury, and his minutes are likely to increase moving forward. In that scenario, Gillespie’s opportunities may take a hit.

Green was outstanding on Saturday, shooting over 50 percent from the field and committing no turnovers. Just as good for the Suns was that he only needed to play 22 minutes, as the Suns outscored Utah by 18 points in the first quarter and remained in control throughout. While his category league value has remained low since the All-Star break, Green has been a solid option in points leagues. That should not change in Week 23, with the Suns playing four games.
