With Allen likely sidelined for another contest, Collin Gillespie should be in line for plenty of minutes once again. Gillespie has been phenomenal as of late, and fantasy managers should continue to stream him until Allen is back.

Allen could return this weekend, but not on Friday. Collin Gillespie started the Suns’ most recent game, a win over the Kings on Wednesday, with Jordan Goodwin coming off the bench. Both players are worth rostering in deep leagues, with Gillespie also having value in some 12-team formats.

Dunn will miss a fourth straight game with a sprained right wrist. With Grayson Allen also out, the Suns started Collin Gillespie in Wednesday’s win over the Kings. He and Jordan Goodwin have added fantasy value due to the absences on the perimeter, with Gillespie offering a slightly higher ceiling.

Booker struggled with his shot on Wednesday, shooting 4-of-13 from inside the arc. The good news for fantasy managers is that he provided solid value in the rebound and assist categories. Over the past two weeks, Booker has shot 38.8 percent from the field, which is why he has not been a top-100 player during this period. The season-long value remains solid, but many hoped to receive first-round value from Booker, and it hasn’t happened just yet.

Back in the starting lineup after missing Monday’s win over the Rockets, Williams had his best game since joining the Suns this offseason. The 17 rebounds were a season-high for the 7-footer, who recorded his third 20-point double-double of the season. Due to his injury history, Williams’ availability remains a concern. However, the Suns have seemingly pushed all the right buttons so far, and fantasy managers have reaped the rewards.

Having provided solid fantasy value while coming off the bench, Gillespie was inserted into the Suns’ starting lineup on Wednesday. He had another excellent night, finishing with a season-high point total. Also, the nine assists were the most in a game for Gillespie since October 27, when he dished out a career-high 13. Jordan Goodwin (7/8/2/2/1 with one three-pointer) was solid off the bench, but his fantasy value takes a hit with Gillespie replacing him in the starting lineup.

Randle suffered his worst scoring performance of the season on Wednesday. He contributed just a pair of made baskets and only took 13 shots for the third game in a row. The veteran forward also failed to capitalize on his opportunities at the charity stripe before narrowly escaping a single-digit scoring total. Still, Randle was solid as a passer and rebounder, and also logged a few steals on the defensive end to help his overall fantasy production on the evening. He’ll have a chance to get back in rhythm as a scorer on Saturday against the Celtics.

Shannon Jr. poured in his best performance of the season on Wednesday. He needed only 17 minutes of game action to post a season-high in points and nearly reach the 20-point mark. He made all seven of his shot attempts and all three of his three-pointers along the way, but didn’t contribute much in other areas of the game. Still, Shannon Jr. had a nice outing, one that could potentially lead to more opportunities against the Celtics on Saturday.

Edwards followed up a 43-point outing against the Kings with a stellar 30-point performance on Wednesday. He was dialed in from beyond the arc, tallying more threes than any other player who took the floor. Even with poor free-throw shooting, he led the Wolves in scoring and was one of only two Minnesota players to score more than 11 points. Edwards will have an opportunity to extend his streak of 30-point games to four when the Wolves face the Celtics on Saturday.

After Jordan Goodwin moved into the starting lineup for the last two games with Ryan Dunn unavailable, Suns head coach Jordan Ott has made a change. Gillespie, who has been an excellent fantasy asset recently, replaces Goodwin in the starting lineup. The change does raise the point guard’s ceiling, while Goodwin should still get good minutes off the bench. The other change is Williams, who’s back after sitting out Monday’s loss to the Rockets. Nick Richards will rejoin the second unit.

Wednesday’s game against the Kings will be the sixth that Allen has missed with a right quad contusion. During his pregame availability, Suns head coach Jordan Ott said this was not your standard quad contusion, but the team hopes to have Allen back by this weekend. Phoenix has games against the Thunder (Friday) and Nuggets (Saturday) to end Week 6 before visiting the Lakers on Monday. Jordan Goodwin should remain in the starting lineup until Allen returns, with Collin Gillespie also having increased fantasy value.

Edwards dropped 40-plus for the second straight game — his third 40-spot of the year — but it still wasn’t enough to prevent Minnesota from suffering a second straight late-game collapse. The 24-year-old superstar had a look at a go-ahead running jumper in the closing seconds after the Wolves blew a 10-point lead over the final three minutes, but it rimmed out. He launched a season-high 29 shots and was surprisingly efficient from deep, drilling five of 11 threes. He’s been a strong second-round fantasy performer so far, averaging 27.8 points through 13 games. Minnesota will try to steady the ship on Wednesday night against a red-hot Thunder squad.

Phoenix struggled to get anything going offensively in this one, committing a whopping 20 turnovers and shooting just 41.3 percent from the floor to finish with a season-low 92 points against a Rockets squad playing without Kevin Durant. Brooks was one of the few bright spots as he knocked down 11 of 22 shots, despite going 2-of-8 from three-point range and fell just shy of breaking the 30-point barrier for the third time this season. He’s performed at a fifth-round level this season from a fantasy standpoint, averaging 22 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.8 assists and two steals in 12 games. The Suns are back in action on Wednesday night when they face the Kings.

Booker has been mired in a bit of a mini-slump of late, failing to break 25 points in each of his last four contests, performing at just a 14th-round value for fantasy purposes during that span. The Suns were an unmitigated disaster in this one committing 20 turnovers and scoring a season-low 92 points in an ugly loss at the hands of the Kevin Durant-less Rockets. It’s too small of a sample size to be overly concerned, but he’s shooting just 33 percent from three-point range while averaging less than six attempts per-game from downtown, which represents his lowest rate in a half-decade.

The Suns are without Mark Williams for Monday’s game, as it is the second in as many nights for Phoenix. He’ll be replaced in the lineup by Richards, who can provide rebounds and a solid field-goal percentage in this role. Oso Ighodaro should also play rotation minutes at the five, but the reserve role limits his streaming value.

Williams recorded his fifth double-double of the season on Sunday, and he’s proven more valuable than some fantasy managers expected him to be during the preseason. The 7-footer is providing top-50 value in eight-cat formats, exceeding his Yahoo! ADP (83) by a comfortable distance. Even better, the only two games he’s missed this season were part of back-to-backs, as is Monday’s game against the Rockets. Consider Williams questionable for that one, but it’s more likely he doesn’t play.

With Jalen Green, Grayson Allen and Ryan Dunn all out due to injury, Goodwin was tabbed to make his first start of the season on Sunday. He recorded his first double-double of the season, doing everything but block a shot. Collin Gillespie, whose opportunities have also increased due to the injuries, added 15 points, three rebounds, six assists, one steal and three three-pointers in 29 minutes off the bench. As long as the Suns are shorthanded on the perimeter, Gillespie and Goodwin will have value in deep leagues.

Booker may not be making good on his Yahoo! ADP (11) just yet, but the assist production has been positive. After averaging a career-best 7.1 assists per game last season, the Suns guard has dished out 7.0 per game this season. Booker certainly isn’t a traditional point guard, but he can both score and facilitate within head coach Jordan Ott’s system. The Suns play four games in Week 6, starting with the Rockets on Monday.

Brooks continues to flourish in his new home, having scored at least 20 points in six games. The fit between the player and the team has been almost seamless thus far, which has positively impacted Brooks’ fantasy value. He’s been close to a top-50 player in nine-cat formats, exceeding his Yahoo! ADP (140) by a significant distance. Given Brooks’ career track record, it’s understandable why he’s rostered in 43 percent of Yahoo! leagues. But it may be time to hop onto the bandwagon, especially with the Suns having a four-game Week 6.

Already without Jalen Green and Grayson Allen, the Suns won’t have Ryan Dunn for Sunday’s game. As a result, Goodwin will move into the starting lineup for the first time this season.

After his streak of consecutive games played ended at 157 on Wednesday, McDaniels returned to the Timberwolves’ lineup on Friday. He didn’t have a great night shooting the basketball, but the Timberwolves forward did provide good value in the rebound and steals categories. Rostered in 46 percent of Yahoo! leagues, McDaniels is ranked comfortably within the top-50 in nine-cat formats.

Unfortunately for him, Friday’s performance did not include a victory, as Randle’s three-point attempt as time expired fell short.

While the Suns deserve credit for not giving up, Minnesota blew an eight-point lead in the final 50 seconds of Friday’s game. Edwards had a chance to extend the Timberwolves’ lead to three with two free throws, but his misses earned the fans free Chick-fil-A and left the door open for Collin Gillespie to hit the game-winner with just under seven seconds remaining. The good news for fantasy managers is that Edwards recorded a robust stat line, but the result is going to sting for the Timberwolves.

Phoenix finished Friday’s game without 40 percent of their starting five, as Brooks and Devin Booker fouled out. That said, the latter was on the court for most of the team’s 9-0 run to end the game. Brooks continues to provide surprisingly efficient offensive production to supplement his defense, and he’s providing top-50 fantasy value in nine-cat formats. Brooks is rostered in 42 percent of Yahoo! leagues, so there are still some non-believers out there. But he’s worth the risk, especially with Jalen Green and Grayson Allen out due to injury.

On a night when the Timberwolves didn’t have Jaden McDaniels for the first time in 158 games, Reid stepped up with one of his best performances of the season. He finished with his third 20-point game of the season, and the 28 points were a season-high for the forward.

Gobert entered Wednesday’s game having reached double figures in scoring in four of the past five games. He didn’t make it five out of six on Wednesday, but the veteran center did hit double digits in rebounds for the first time since November 10. Due to decreased production in points and rebounds, Gobert’s fantasy value has slipped this season.

After shooting 4-of-9 from the field in the first quarter, Edwards’ production dropped off significantly. The good news for him and the Timberwolves was that the one-win Wizards were the opposition, so it didn’t matter much. However, Edwards is now 11-of-39 from the field over his last two games, well below his field-goal percentage for the season (43.2). He’s providing top-30 value in eight- and nine-cat formats, so the two-game slump has not had too big an impact on Ant-Man’s standing in fantasy basketball.

It was a rough shooting night for Edwards, but he was able to redeem his night with some late buckets, which allowed him to tie Julius Randle as the leading scorers for Minnesota. He also made an impact in a variety of other ways despite his shot night falling, which is why he was a first-round pick once again this season. Edwards’ shooting percentages are actually up this season after they took a hit last year due to an uptick in three-point volume. Subpar shooting nights like this won’t happen often; this was his worst field goal percentage in a game this year.

Randle has been a scoring machine for Minnesota lately, which continued in this game. This was the third game in a row that he’s scored at least 25 points, which is a mark he has reached eight times this year. Last season, he only had 12 such games. Randle is having arguably the best season of his career. He’s averaging career-highs in points, assists and steals while shooting the best percentage of his career from the floor and the free throw line while also averaging the fewest turnovers per game since his last year as a Laker. It has been a fantastic start to the season, and while it feels unlikely that he can continue to play this well, he’ll be one of the best value picks in fantasy basketball if he does.
