Booker was one of two Suns to surpass 30 points on Friday, with Jalen Green’s 34 leading the way. Book has now scored 30 points or more in four of his last five appearances, getting hot at the right time for fantasy managers. Since March 1, he has been a top-20 player in eight-cat formats, according to Basketball Monster. The Suns are done for Week 20, but they’ve got five games in Week 21.

Green has scored 24 points or more in five straight games, his most productive run of the season to date. The 34 points on Friday were two shy of his season high, set Thursday night against the Pacers. Fantasy managers will hope that Green can carry this production over into Week 21, as the Suns are scheduled to play five games. With two back-to-backs, he may not be a lock to play in all five, but three games of Green at this level is nothing to scoff at.

With Goodwin recently returning from a calf strain, his ability to play both games of the Suns’ back-to-back is encouraging. However, his fantasy potential is limited since the Suns are otherwise healthy on the perimeter.

Milwaukee closes the week with a back-to-back, making it possible that fantasy managers get one game out of Antetokounmpo instead of two. If he plays the Hawks on Saturday, Giannis likely won’t play the Pacers on Sunday. He sat out the second game of Milwaukee’s most recent back-to-back, a loss to the Magic on March 8.

Allen sat out Thursday’s matchup with the Pacers, and Goodwin played. The pair may swap statuses on Friday, as Phoenix plays the second leg of its back-to-back set. Allen should see his normal workload and could earn a few more minutes if Goodwin is ultimately sidelined.

Following a one-game absence with a back injury, Portis was back playing his typical role off the bench. Though it wasn’t enough for the Bucks to get the win, he has his highest-scoring performance since Feb. 24 and shot at least 50 percent from the floor for a ninth straight game. Portis is a solid reserve that ranks inside the top-100 in nine-category leagues over the past two weeks. However, his limited minutes will continue to cap his upside.

With Kevin Porter Jr. (knee) back in the lineup, Rollins returned to playing a role off the bench. However, he still played 33 minutes to KPJ’s 27 and was far more productive. Rollins has been one of the most improved players in the NBA this season, and as long as he is playing big minutes, he’ll continue to be a strong fantasy asset. However, he may be limited if he continues to come off the bench.

Antetokounmpo has been available for five of the Bucks’ last six games, but this was his best offensive performance. In fact, this was his highest-scoring performance since Jan. 11, which was over two months prior to this game. Giannis hasn’t been quite as productive as he typically is, most notably a lack of production on the glass. He’ll look to build on this scoring performance in Saturday’s game in Atlanta.

This was a fantastic showing for Phoenix’s two star guards. Both Green and Devin Booker set new season-highs for scoring, and Green is now averaging 27.5 points while shooting 50.6 percent from the floor over his last four games. Injuries have made this a frustrating season for Green, but he has been productive since the All-Star break. He’ll look to stay hot in Toronto on Thursday to wrap up the week.

Booker is one of the best scorers in the league, but it has been a disappointing season overall for him. However, he put that aside for this game and ended up setting a new season high for scoring. The Suns have now won four in a row and six of their last seven, and Booker has been on fire, averaging 29.3 points per game over the last two weeks.

Dieng only played 14 minutes, and the only stats he contributed were a turnover and two fouls. Clearly, the illness was bothering him. Ryan Rollins should take on extra minutes down the stretch with Dieng sidelined.

Goodwin had missed seven games with a calf injury before returning to play 14 minutes against the Bucks on Tuesday. He was on the injury report for injury management reasons, but it seems like he will be able to suit up on Thursday. We would still expect something about 20 minutes as he works his way back.

To say that Turner needed a night like Tuesday would be an understatement. Over his last five games entering the matchup with the Suns, the Bucks’ center averaged 6.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.8 steals, 1.2 blocks and 1.4 three-pointers in 20.6 minutes, shooting 31.4 percent from the field. Turner’s 22 points were the most in a game for him since January 27, when he dropped 31 on the 76ers. Simply put, nights like Tuesday have been few and far between for Turner, which is not what the Bucks expected when they signed him in free agency.

Before Tuesday, it had been just over a month since Kuzma last surpassed 20 points in a game, much less 30. He dropped his third 30-point game of the season on Tuesday, with the 33 points being a season-high. The numbers in the categories outside of points and three pointers were a bit limited, but Kuzma still managed to record a complete stat line. The Bucks play three more games in Week 20, starting with the Heat on Thursday.

Back in the lineup after sitting out Sunday’s loss to the Magic, Antetokounmpo logged 30 minutes against the Suns. This was the first time he’s played at least 30 minutes since returning from his second calf strain of the season, so the limit is clearly increasing. That’s good news for fantasy managers, as many are counting on Giannis to be his usual dominant self during the fantasy playoff weeks.

In the nine games he played since the All-Star break, Green averaged 17.6 points while shooting 35.3 percent from the field. Against the Bucks, the Suns guard cleaned up the shooting, making 50 percent of his attempts while also recording solid numbers in the rebound and assist categories. Green has failed to provide top-150 value since the All-Star break; hopefully, Tuesday’s performance is the spark that he’s needed.

It didn’t take Booker long to get into a groove after enduring a period in which he missed 12 of 15 games due to injury. After scoring 17 points in his first game back, the Suns guard has scored 27 or more in four straight. His line against the Bucks included solid value in the rebound and assist categories. Booker has been a top-20 player in eight-cat formats over the past week, according to Basketball Monster.

Rostered in 14 percent of Yahoo! leagues, O’Neale is effectively a specialist in fantasy basketball, being most valuable to managers needing three-pointers and steals. He came up big on Tuesday, especially during the third quarter. O’Neale scored 18 points in the frame, shooting 6-of-8 from beyond the arc, including a heave from half court to end the period. Add in the rebounds, assists and steals, and this was a good start to O’Neale’s Week 20. The Suns play two more games, a back-to-back on Thursday and Friday against the Pacers and Raptors.
