Dosunmu has been starting in place of Anthony Edwards, but there is a chance he is unavailable against Houston. In that scenario, Bones Hyland, who has also stepped up with Edwards out, will likely fill the void in the starting lineup.

After providing limited value in his first two starts for the injured Royce O’Neale (knee), Goodwin was more impactful on Sunday. The 14 points were the most he’s scored in a game since February 21, which was the last game he played before being sidelined by a strained calf. Add in the rebounds, steals and three-pointers, and Sunday was a good finish to Week 21 for Goodwin and those streaming him. With the Suns playing two games in Week 22, it’s safe to move on, even if O’Neale has to miss more time.

Gillespie has made at least three three-pointers in four consecutive games, making 17 of his 37 attempts. All that his final stat line on Sunday lacked was a blocked shot, but very few, if any, fantasy managers look to Gillespie for production in that category. Over the past three weeks, Gillespie has been a seventh-round player in eight-cat formats. However, with the Suns limited to two games in Week 22, holding onto Gillespie may not be something some managers are willing to do, despite his productivity.

After a disappointing performance in Saturday’s loss to the Bucks, Booker rebounded nicely against the Raptors. In addition to the points and excellent percentages, the Suns’ guard dished out six assists. Since failing to record an assist in Phoenix’s March 13 loss in Toronto, Booker had recorded five or more in four of his last five appearances. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, the Suns play just two games in Week 22, which may limit Booker’s impact.

Green has now scored at least 20 points in eight of his last ten games. While field-goal percentage can be an issue for the Suns’ guard, he made more than half of his attempts in Sunday’s rout of the Raptors. Add in the assists, and this was a nice ending to Week 21 for Green. The Suns play two games in Week 22, starting with the Nuggets on Tuesday, so the upcoming schedule isn’t great.

Dosunmu continues to produce with Anthony Edwards (knee) out of the lineup, having scored at least 17 points in four straight games. Over the past two weeks, he has provided fifth-round value in eight-cat formats. The only reason why fantasy managers should not entertain adding Dosunmu is the upcoming schedule, as the Timberwolves play two games in Week 22. However, if Edwards remains out for Wednesday’s game against the Rockets, Dosunmu would be a worthwhile pickup.

Since the Timberwolves had to shut down Anthony Edwards (knee) for a couple of weeks, Hyland and Ayo Dosunmu have upped their offensive production. Bones scored a team-high 23 points in Boston, and he’s scored at least 17 in each of the last four games. His final line on Sunday only lacked a blocked shot, but fantasy managers will be more focused on Hyland’s efficiency and offensive production. The lone negative heading into Week 22 is the schedule, as the Timberwolves play two games.

The Timberwolves rebounded from a slow start to pick up their first season sweep of the Celtics since the 1999-2000 season. McDaniels was one of the offensive leaders, helping pick up the slack on a night when Julius Randle (9/10/4/2 with one three-pointer) shot 3-of-14 from the field. McDaniels has scored at least 16 points in four straight games. While that may not seem like much, he has been more assertive on offense since the Timberwolves lost Anthony Edwards (knee); they’ll need him to remain aggressive when Ant-Man returns.

Initially questionable for Sunday’s game, O’Neale will miss a third straight with a sore left knee.

After enduring a three-game stretch in which he scored a total of seven points, Gillespie has reached double figures in three straight. The uptick in production has coincided with Grayson Allen being out with a knee injury, as Gillespie’s playing time has increased. He logged 33 minutes on Saturday and has played at least that many in the three games that Allen has missed.

The good news for fantasy managers was that the left ankle injury suffered at the end of Thursday’s loss to the Spurs did not keep Booker out of the lineup for Saturday night. However, he had a rough night, shooting 2-of-12 from inside the arc against the Bucks. Category league managers will be fine with the assists and steals, but more is expected of Booker on the offensive end of the floor. And things won’t get any easier, as the Suns host the Raptors on Sunday.

After totaling 26 points on 10-of-37 shooting in his prior two appearances, Green was much more efficient on Saturday. The Suns’ guard made more than half of his shot attempts from the field, which included a 3-of-6 night from beyond the arc. Green struggled at the foul line, but what he does from the field is of far greater concern for fantasy managers. He’ll look to finish Week 21 on a high note when the Suns host the Raptors on Sunday.

Once again starting for Anthony Edwards, Dosunmu finished Friday’s defeat two assists shy of a triple-double.

Hyland may not have moved into the starting lineup following Anthony Edwards’ knee injury, but there have been more opportunities for him to shine off the bench.

Gobert has recorded a double-double in back-to-back games for the first time in nearly a month, good news for those rostering the 7-foot-1 center. While Anthony Edwards’ absence did not result in a significant increase in shot attempts for Gobert on Tuesday against the Suns, he’s put up a total of 26 shots in the last two. And given where most of his shots are taken, that’s an excellent development for Gobert and fantasy managers.
