Ellis came off the bench in the Kings’ loss to the Thunder on Tuesday. The 25-year-old shooting guard had 12 points and two made three-pointers in 27 minutes. Ellis is more of a deep league fantasy play in a somewhat crowded backcourt with Russell Westbrook and Dennis Schröder.

Ellis is coming off his best game of the season, but he may not be available against Chicago. Russell Westbrook and Malik Monk will play larger roles if Ellis isn’t able to suit up, with Westbrook coming off his first start of the season.

Sabonis’ rebounding production remains elite, but that wasn’t expected to be an issue. What should have concerned fantasy managers more than it did, based on his Yahoo! ADP of 18, was the potential hit Sabonis’ scoring and assists could take. Through three games, he’s averaging 10.7 points and 2.3 assists. Between Dennis Schröder, Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan, at least three other starters operate best with the ball in their hands. It’s early, so all isn’t lost for Sabonis, but this is something that fantasy managers must watch.

Having scored 30, 31 and 32 points in his first three games, LaVine could not produce another 30-point effort on Tuesday. However, thanks to the ability to get to the foul line, he made it four straight games of 20 points or more. LaVine did not produce any defensive stats, so he’s barely a top-50 player despite averaging 29 points per game. However, based on his ADP, LaVine has been better than many expected before the season began.

After needing 22 shots to score 21 points in Sunday’s loss to the Lakers, DeRozan was a bit more efficient on Tuesday. Despite shooting 64.7 percent from the foul line, he’s done what fantasy managers expected, providing fifth-round value in nine-cat formats. That shouldn’t change for DeRozan anytime soon. However, if he can boost the free-throw percentage while continuing to provide excellent steals value, Deebo’s fantasy ceiling may be higher than anticipated.

Having been used in a reserve role for his first three games with the Kings, Westbrook replaced Keon Ellis in the starting lineup on Tuesday. While Sacramento didn’t get the win, the veteran point guard shot 4-of-8 from beyond the arc and was one of four starters in double figures. Ellis played 27 minutes off the bench, finishing with 12 points, two rebounds, two steals, one block and two three-pointers. While Ellis offers a higher fantasy ceiling at this stage in their respective career, Westbrook could be worth a look in deep leagues if he remains in the starting lineup. Of course, this will all change once Keegan Murray (thumb) is cleared to return.

Injured before the start of the preseason, Green has yet to make his Suns debut. That could change on Wednesday, as he’s considered questionable. Given the time missed, Green will likely be under a minutes restriction whenever he’s available to play. Grayson Allen has been the starter, but he’s worth holding onto even after Green is healthy enough to play starters’ minutes.

Wednesday’s game will be the second Brooks has missed with a sore right groin. Royce O’Neale started Monday’s overtime loss to the Jazz, playing 46 of a possible 53 minutes. He may retain that role on Wednesday, even if Jalen Green (hamstring) is available. Green is worth streaming, especially in deep leagues.

Westbrook will make his first start at a King on Tuesday, and he’ll do so in the city where he began his NBA career.

Gillespie took on a starting role late last season for the Suns, but he has started this year in a reserve role. That hasn’t led to much production, but he shined brightly in this one. He set a new career-high for assists and turned in a full stat line. Gillespie may have earned more minutes with his performance, but that doesn’t mean he will play a large enough role consistently to be worth streaming in, especially with Jalen Green (hamstring) on the cusp of a return.

Allen has filled in nicely in place of Jalen Green, who has yet to make his debut for the Suns due to a hamstring injury. He has hit 15 three-pointers through four games, which was what we anticipated. The added boost has been the assists; he is averaging 5.5 per game, which far exceeds any previous season average. That won’t continue, especially when Green is healthy, but is has been a nice start to the year for Allen.

Williams has been coming off the bench for the Suns, but he played a much larger role than Oso Ighodaro, who only played 13 minutes as the starting center. That worked out well for the Suns, as Williams was able to tip the ball back in at the end of regulation to force overtime. It’s unclear if Williams will continue to come off the bench, but if he does, he may still play more minutes than Ighodaro moving forward.

Booker had some magic at the end of regulation, knocking down two contested threes that helped the Suns comeback from down seven with 20 seconds left to force overtime. They weren’t able to get the job done in overtime, but it ended up being the best performance of the year for him. Booker set new season highs for points, assists and three-pointers while setting a new season low for turnovers. This was the type of upside that had him going at the end of the first round in fantasy drafts, and he’ll look to stay hot against the Grizzlies on Wednesday.

With Dillon Brooks sidelined with a groin injury, O’Neale was able to fill in as a starter and ended up turning in a productive line. O’Neale had been playing just under 30 minutes per game, which didn’t allow him much time to provide fantasy value. If Brooks remains out against the Grizzlies on Wednesday, O’Neale will hold value as a streamer, though the expectation shouldn’t be that he replicates this type of production.

Before the Suns embarked on their three-game road trip that ends Monday night, head coach Jordan Ott said it was “too early” to rule Green out for all three games. Unfortunately, he will not play against Utah, but the guard was doing some resistance training and sprinting during Monday’s pregame shootaround. Grayson Allen will start as long as Green is out and should be rostered in standard leagues.

DeRozan’s had better nights shooting the basketball, but he still finished Sunday’s defeat with his second 20-point game of the season. Remove Friday’s win over the Jazz, in which he only attempted nine shots, and he’s put up 37 in the other two games. DeRozan will continue to get his shots, giving him a shot at providing top-50 fantasy value. The player whose fantasy value may be most negatively impacted is Domantas Sabonis. Foul trouble was a factor on Sunday, but Domas (10/14/3/3 with one three-pointer) has attempted 17 shots through two games. That’s a concern, especially for managers who grabbed him with a first-round pick.

After totaling 13 points and five assists in his first two games with the Kings, Westbrook was far more productive on Sunday. Maybe playing against the Lakers was motivation, but Westbrook shot 50 percent from the field and was a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line. Also, he was 4-of-6 from three. Westbrook had five games last season in which he made five three-pointers, so this is unlikely to become a common occurrence. Add in the poor foul shooting, and there’s reason for fantasy managers to remain skeptical even after Westbrook’s solid showing against the Lakers.

Having totaled 10 assists and eight turnovers in Sacramento’s first two games, Schröder had a much cleaner performance on Sunday, even if he didn’t shoot the ball well. Two turnovers countered the 12 assists, and the veteran point guard finished with a complete stat line. Schröder had seven games last season in which he dished out at least 10 assists, so nights like Sunday are unlikely to become the norm. Unfortunately, the Kings don’t have a great Week 2 schedule. Not only does Sacramento play three games, but just one occurs between Thursday and Sunday.

Initially questionable for Sunday’s game due to an illness, LaVine looked healthy during his 40 minutes on the court. He’s scored at least 30 points in his first three games, his most productive run since scoring 30 or more in five straight in January. While there are usage concerns for some of the other key players in the Kings’ rotation, that isn’t the case for LaVine. He’ll get all the touches he desires, but LaVine’s ceiling remains limited due to the lack of stats outside of points and three-pointers. Sacramento hits the road for three games during Week 2, starting with Oklahoma City on Tuesday.

Ellis is the lone change to the Kings’ starting lineup. He replaces Isaac Jones in a smaller lineup. He’ll likely take on the unenviable task of defending James Harden, which allows Schröder to shift onto Bogdan Bogdanovic.

He’s played 24 and 14 minutes in his first two appearances of the season, the second being a blowout loss to the Clippers on Friday.

Due to Jalen Green’s absence, Brooks has taken on a far larger role on the offensive end of the floor than anticipated through Phoenix’s first three games.

After only taking 10 shots in the Suns’ previous game, Booker was more aggressive on the offensive end in this one and was able to get back over the 30-point threshold. He also increased his assist count over the last two games, though a new season-high for turnovers came with that. Defenses are able to key in on Booker, but he’s still able to punish them as a scorer. Amazingly, he’s still been able to make at least 50 percent of his shots in each of their first three games of the season.

Allen has been starting for the Suns in place of Jalen Green (hamstring), and he has been a reliable source of threes, as expected, he has 11 triples through three games, and he has been able to contribute some value in other categories as well.

Grayson Allen didn’t shoot well from the field on Friday, but made an impact with his passing for a second straight game. He leads the Suns in assists through two games and scored in double figures in each of those contests.

Booker’s Friday performance was a bit quieter than the 31-point outing against the Kings in the season opener. He was limited to 10 field goal attempts against the Clippers and had to rely on the free-throw line for a good chunk of his scoring. Booker was impactful as a passer, though, as he led Phoenix in assists and flirted with a double-double. He’ll presumably have better performances in the near future, with a chance to bounce back on Saturday against the Nuggets.

Brooks was accurate on high volume from beyond the arc on Friday, which allowed him to tally at least 20 points for the second straight game. The total output was enough to lead the team in scoring, which isn’t shocking when also considering Jalen Green’s absence. However, Brooks will almost certainly remain a focal point of the offense even when Green makes his Suns debut. Fantasy managers should assume the volume is here to stay.

On the Heels of a 19-point season-opening performance, Monk logged a consecutive productive scoring performance off the bench. He shot efficiently, again, and accounted for nearly half of his team’s three-point total in the win. The veteran guard ultimately used that efficiency from deep to finish as the team’s second-leading scorer. Monk has now scored 39 points and tallied nine three-pointers through two games thus far. He is off to a fast start to begin the season after an injury-plagued 2024-25 campaign.

Sabonis came up big in the most significant moment of the game on Friday. After being limited to 10 points, Sabonis found himself in the right place at the right time, as he gathered a missed Malik Monk go-ahead shot attempt and put it back in with 6.4 seconds left to give the Kings a one-point lead, and ultimately the victory. He earned his second consecutive double-double along the way and has a chance to secure a third straight on Sunday against the Lakers.

LaVine went for 30 points in the season-opener on Wednesday and followed that performance with another 30 piece on Friday. Against the Jazz, the versatile perimeter scorer utilized the three-point shot, free throws, and work inside the arc to finish with a team-high in points. His production and efficiency from deep were especially noteworthy on Friday after shooting just 2-of-10 from three the game prior. He didn’t find much production in other statistical categories, but if he can continue scoring at a high clip, he’ll be in for a productive season.

Having agreed to a one-year deal on October 15, Westbrook played 19 minutes off the bench in his Kings’ debut. While the rebound production was solid, he did not shoot the ball well, which has often been said about Westbrook in recent years. Dennis Schröder (14/1/7/2/1 with two three-pointers in 30 minutes) is the starter and will remain in that role for the foreseeable future. That doesn’t bode well for Westbrook’s fantasy ceiling, which will remain extremely low due to his place within the rotation.

Monk returned to the Kings’ rotation after missing the final two preseason games due to an illness. He looked sharp offensively, shooting the ball well and scoring 19 of Sacramento’s 37 bench points. Even though he came off the bench, Monk is a more valuable option to fantasy league managers with Keegan Murray (thumb) and Domantas Sabonis (hamstring) unavailable. With spot starters Nique Clifford and Drew Eubanks (4/4/0/2/4) combining to score six points, the Kings needed someone to step up. Although it was in a losing effort, Monk answered the call. Rostered in 36 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he’s worth adding while Murray and Sabonis are out.

DeRozan and Phoenix’s Dillon Brooks were locked in an entertaining back-and-forth throughout Wednesday’s game, but the veteran scorer did not let the trash talking derail him. DeRozan only missed five field-goal attempts on the night, shooting 11-of-15 from inside the arc. The issue for him was the foul line, with the Kings guard/forward going 4-of-9. DeRozan is a career 84.2 percent shooter from the charity stripe, so it’s safe to assume nights like Wednesday won’t become the norm. Also, the rebounds and assists compensate for the low free-throw percentage.

Due to his minutes restriction, Williams was used in a reserve role in his Suns’ debut Wednesday night. He didn’t do much scoring, but the fourth-year center was effective as a rebounder and shot-blocker. Oso Ighodaro (7/4/1) started and played 19 minutes, with Nick Richards (eight points and three rebounds) playing the other five. Rookie Khaman Maluach was the odd man out against the Kings, picking up a DNP-CD. One would think the center rotation will shrink even more as Williams continues ramping up. While he’s worth having rostered in redraft leagues, the other three center options in Phoenix are not.

Working as hard defensively as Brooks does, there may be a little more freedom offensively, even if that isn’t always the best approach. With Jalen Green (hamstring) still unavailable, more shots are available for Suns not named Devin Booker. Brooks took full advantage in his official Suns debut, firing up 24 shots. The issue for him was the three-point shooting. While Brooks shot 50 percent from two, he was just 1-of-8 from three. A career 35.5 percent shooter, Brooks made 39.7 percent of his three-point attempts last season. However, Wednesday’s poor three-point shooter should not detract from Brooks’ all-around performance, which was one reason why the Suns erased a 17-point deficit and took home the victory. He isn’t the best fantasy option, but there should be room for Brooks on deep-league rosters due to the role he’s being asked to fill.

Initially probable for Wednesday’s game with a sore hip, Allen played 36 minutes without any issues. Starting in place of the injured Jalen Green (hamstring), Allen was effective, especially making plays for others. Allen led the Suns in assists, and the seven helpers were the most in a game for him since January 31 against the Warriors. Add in the scoring and rebounding, and Wednesday’s performance was a reminder of Allen’s fantasy value on nights when he starts and plays heavy minutes. However, that may change soon, as Green might be able to play during Phoenix’s three-game road trip that begins on Friday against the Clippers.

Booker missed five free throws in Wednesday’s season opener, but that’s probably the lone complaint you’ll hear from those who have him rostered. The fact that the Suns’ star got to the foul line that often while also attempting 19 field goals says a lot about what he was able to do offensively. Booker may have some help soon, as Jalen Green (hamstring) could return during Phoenix’s upcoming three-game road trip. While Booker can certainly shoulder the offensive workload, the Suns’ best chance of success is for him to have consistent help. Others stepped up against the Kings, and getting Green on the floor should help moving forward.
