Livers missed Phoenix’s last three games before the All-Star break after suffering a sprained left shoulder during a February 5 loss to the Warriors. His return gives the Suns additional depth on the wings, but he isn’t guaranteed to be in the rotation. Leave Livers on the waiver wire.

A solid rotation player with the Heat in previous years, Highsmith hasn’t appeared in a game yet this season after offseason knee surgery and was waived by the Nets earlier this month. The 29-year-old small forward chose to join a Suns team that currently occupies the fifth seed in the Western Conference playoff race. While he could provide some important bench minutes for Phoenix, he’s not worth rostering in most fantasy leagues.

Joe continues to pick up some of the slack with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander out. The 26-year-old guard has shown over the last six games that he’s not going to contribute much in the other categories, but he can provide 17 points and three three-pointers every night. Joe will have value as long as this arrangement and his solid play continue.

With Isaiah Hartenstein (injury management) and Jalen Williams (hamstring) ruled out, Isaiah Joe and Kenrich Williams will slide into the starting lineup Thursday against the Bucks. Joe has averaged 17 points, 3.6 three-pointers and shot 54.5 percent from the field over his last five games.

J-Dub went off for 28 points in Wednesday’s win over the Suns, but he’ll sit out the second leg of OKC’s back-to-back set. He’s still not playing a full allotment of minutes, so his absence isn’t surprising. Fantasy managers will hope that Williams can use the time off to get healthy for the final stretch of the season.

Brooks was the leading scorer in an ugly loss for Phoenix, and he was able to have a productive night. However, he also picked up his 16th technical foul of the season. Unless it is rescinded, he will serve a one-game suspension against the Spurs on Feb. 19 and could miss more games if he continues to pick up technicals. Brooks has been incredible this season and has been red-hot on offense lately. He has scored at least 20 points in four straight games and in nine of his last 10 games.

Joe was the leading scorer for OKC’s bench unit in this game, but it was a group effort to get the big win. Seven players scored in double figures for the Thunder, including five reserves. The bench unit accounted for 74 of OKC’s 136 points, with Joe leading the way in just 18 minutes. Joe is an elite shooter that can have performances like his when he gets the opportunity, but the minutes haven’t been consistent enough for him to be a standard league option.

Williams struggled with his shot on Monday, which was his first game after missing nearly a month with a hamstring injury. However, he was incredibly efficient during his 20 minutes in this game. He only missed one shot in the blowout win. This was the first leg of a back-to-back, so there is certainly a chance that Williams sits out against the Bucks on Thursday, especially after exiting to get his hamstring attended to.

Green is listed as questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Thunder for right hamstring injury management reasons. The 24-year-old shooting guard has only been playing around 20 minutes per game, so if he’s ruled out his absence won’t have a major impact on the Suns’ rotation.

Coffey made his Suns’ debut on Tuesday, playing 13 minutes off the bench. The production wasn’t enough to make him a player worth considering in fantasy leagues, especially with Grayson Allen (ankle) out. Once Allen returns, it’s fair to question if Coffey will play consistent rotation minutes.

The Suns received solid contributions from both of their centers on Tuesday. Despite coming off the bench, Ighodaro recorded his first double-double of the season in 23 minutes. Meanwhile, starting center Mark Williams logged 25 minutes and accounted for 13 points, eight rebounds and one assist. Tuesday’s effort doesn’t make Ighodaro someone worth rostering in most redraft leagues, but he should be on dynasty league rosters.

Booker has played 32 minutes in the two games he’s appeared in since returning from a sprained ankle. While the points output on Tuesday was modest, fantasy managers can still use rebounds, assists, steals, and three-pointers. This is the first back-to-back for Booker since his injury, so fantasy managers should consider him questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Thunder. That also goes for Jalen Green (12/1/4 with two three-pointers), who played 20 minutes off the bench on Tuesday.

Brooks has scored at least 23 points in three straight and eight of his last nine games. While the steals and blocks production has been limited during this stretch, the Suns’ wing has provided sixth-round value in eight-cat formats. While Brooks’ fantasy value for the season remains outside the top-100, he’s been more impactful than many fantasy managers expected him to be before the season began. The Suns end the pre-break portion of their schedule on Wednesday against the Thunder.

Joe has been red-hot recently, though only as a reserve. Over his last four games, he has averaged 20.7 points in the three games he came off the bench and scored just two points in his lone start. Joe has taken on more minutes due to the all the injuries in the backcourt and has been a decent streaming option as of late. He’ll look to stay hot against the Suns on Wednesday.

After missing nearly a month with a hamstring injury, Williams was back in the lineup against Los Angeles. He was limited to 24 minutes, but he was able to make a strong impact despite a subpar shooting night. Nearly half his points came from the free throw line, which helped make up for his field goal percentage. Williams is typically able to contribute more value than he did in this game, but this was about getting him back on the floor. He’ll likely continue to have his minutes managed and should miss back-to-backs. OKC plays in Phoenix on Wednesday and against the Bucks on Thursday; expect Williams to play against the Suns.

Booker hadn’t played since spraining his ankle in a January 23 loss to the Hawks. The 29-year-old managed to scored 21 points, but parts of his game were understandably rusty. Booker was 1-of-7 from behind the three-point line, but was otherwise 4-of-5 from the field. Dillon Brooks led the team in field goal attempts with 23, but expect Booker to be more aggressive as he gets re-acclimated to playing again.

Brooks has now had at least 22 points in seven of his last eight games. The 30-year-old shooting guard is on one of the best scoring runs of his career with the Suns. Even with Devin Booker back now, Grayson Allen was recently injured and Jalen Green has yet to play starter-level minutes for the Suns. With a seemingly stable role, Brooks should maintain his fantasy value. He’s provided third-round per game value over the last two weeks, according to Basketball Monster. The Suns have two games in Week 17, starting with a matchup with the Mavericks on Tuesday.

Allen played relatively well on Thursday, recording another solid stat line. Unfortunately, his night ended painfully, as the Suns guard limped off after injuring his right ankle with 3:03 remaining in the fourth quarter. Allen didn’t return, and the question now is whether he’ll be available for Saturday’s game against the Lakers.

With Devin Booker and Jalen Green out, and the Suns losing Grayson Allen during the fourth quarter, Brooks is doing his best to shoulder even more of the offensive workload.
