Booker and Jalen Green (17/8/4/1 with one three-pointer) struggled in Thursday’s defeat, shooting a combined 15-of-41 from the field. However, of greater concern may be Booker appearing to tweak his ankle while attempting a last-second heave from half-court that would have won the game. Afterwards, Booker said that his ankle was fine, but that’s something to watch ahead of Saturday’s game against the Bucks.

After a three-game stretch in which he totaled seven points, Gillespie has scored 34 points over his last two appearances. Thursday’s effort was his most productive since the All-Star break, with the Suns guard recording his second 20-point game since February 19. Gillespie’s playing time increased in the last two games due to Grayson Allen (knee) being out, raising his short-term fantasy ceiling.

Goodwin moved into the starting lineup on Thursday, filling the void left by Royce O’Neale (knee). Unfortunately, while he did provide solid value in rebounds and steals, the scoring was absent. Goodwin isn’t much of a scorer, so that isn’t much of a surprise. The few who streamed him will be pleased with the rebounds and steals while understanding that he offers limited long-term value when the Suns are whole.

Poeltl needed just 21 minutes to make a big impact on Wednesday’s game. In his limited time, he led the Raptors in rebounds, was one of seven Toronto players to score in double figures, and led his team in plus-minus (+33). While his final numbers against Chicago weren’t as great as Sunday’s 21/18/5 line against Detroit, fantasy managers should come away encouraged over Poeltl’s two-game production.

Ingram made the most of his limited opportunities on the offensive end on Wednesday. He missed just one shot on the evening before falling just shy of the 20-point mark. The former Most Improved Player Award winner also contributed as a rebounder and passer across his 29 minutes. Ingram ultimately didn’t log any fourth-quarter minutes due to the one-sided score that favored Toronto. Still, he finished with a decent final line overall.

A one-sided contest limited Barrett to only 27 minutes, which was enough time for him to tally a third straight 20-point game. He was efficient again from the field en route to finishing as Toronto’s leading scorer and leader in made three-pointers. Barrett has really come on as a scorer of late; in March alone, he’s scored at least 20 points in six of his seven appearances, while shooting above 50.0 percent in each of the six. Solid rebounding has also provided a nice floor of late. He’ll look to stay hot on Friday against the Nuggets.

Ighodaro has been the starting center for the past two weeks with Mark Williams (foot) sidelined, but he hasn’t been able to shine in an increased role. However, that changed in this game with his second-highest scoring performance of the season and his fourth double-double of the year. Phoenix still plays three more games this week, which makes Ighodaro worth keeping around. Hopefully he’ll provide more performances like this one.

Booker has been on fire recently. Over his last eight games, he has scored at least 30 points six times and at least 440 points twice. He has averaged 33 points during this stretch, though Phoenix has gone 4-4, including three straight losses. They’ll wrap up this road trip in San Antonio on Thursday before heading home for four straight games. Booker should continue to pour in the points as the focal point of the offense.

Highsmith tallied his best stat line of the season on Monday, needing just 19 minutes of game action to do so. In this single game, he scored more points, made more free throws, and tallied more three-pointers than he had combined in his previous four appearances this season. Highsmith’s role likely won’t change much as a result of Monday’s performance. He’s not someone worth rostering in fantasy leagues.

On the heels of hot-shooting, back-to-back 30-point performances, Green’s production cooled on Monday. In the loss, he narrowly made it past the 20-point mark, which he needed high-volume shooting to do. The first-year Phoenix Sun also had little impact as a passer. Yet, Green secured a team-high in rebounds to help boost his overall fantasy production on the night. He’ll have a chance to bounce back on Tuesday against the Timberwolves.

Booker hit the 40-point mark for the second time in the past three games on Monday after not having done so at all previously this season. He shot the ball more efficiently this time around, despite some struggles from beyond the arc. Booker also logged one of his higher turnover performances of the season. Yet, the scoring and solid playmaking are arguably what stand out most in this game from a fantasy perspective. He’s unlocked another level of scoring lately, which could be beneficial in the fantasy playoffs.
