The Phoenix Suns have selected Arizona center DeAndre Ayton with the first overall pick in the NBA Draft. Ayton averaged 20.1 points and 11.6 rebounds per game during one season with the Wildcats and shot 34.3 percent from deep.

Fantasy Spin: 2018 NBA Mock Draft (Part 3)

Once you get outside of the lottery, the NBA Draft becomes really hit or miss. In 2017, the 16 players picked in the first round after the lottery featured two guys who didn't play in the NBA last season, but it also produced useful fantasy players like Jarrett Allen and Kyle Kuzma. In part three […]

Fantasy Spin: 2018 NBA Mock Draft (Part 2)

In the first part of this mock draft, I looked in depth at the (possible) top five picks in this year's NBA Draft. In this one, we'll look at the rest of this year's lottery, picks six through 14. These players don't have the same star power and high expectations that the top five picks […]

Fantasy Spin: 2018 NBA Mock Draft (Part 1)

Welcome back to RotoBaller's basketball coverage. Did you enjoy the playoffs? The thrill of, uhhh, another Warriors/Cavaliers Finals? So excite! Much wow! Surprises! (Okay, I'm taking this lack of enthusiasm too far -- both conference finals were fun and exciting and a Chris Paul injury away from bringing us something very unexpected.) But now, with […]

Len, a restricted free agent this summer, averaged 8.5 points and 7.5 rebounds per game this season, but his future with the Suns remains cloudy. The team has younger front-court […]

Troy Daniels is Questionable on Tuesday

Phoenix Suns guard Troy Daniels (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Devin Booker (hand), T.J. Warren (knee), and Elfrid Payton (knee) have already been ruled out for this contest. Daniels has been playing well with most of the Suns best players sidelined. However, he played just 14 minutes in the loss […]

Devin Booker Won't Play on Tuesday

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (hand) will not play against the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday. Booker will join teammates T.J. Warren (knee) and Elfrid Payton (knee) on the sidelines for the Suns regular season finale.

Elfrid Payton Ruled Out on Tuesday

Phoenix Suns point guard Elfrid Payton (knee) has been ruled out of Tuesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Payton will miss the final seven games of the regular season. It's clearly not the way Payton wanted to end his season, and it's unclear if he'll be back in Phoenix next season. Tyler Ulis has been […]

Josh Jackson Won't Play Tuesday

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Josh Jackson (quadriceps) has been ruled out of Tuesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Jackson's rookie season will come to an end after missing the final two games of the regular season. He played much better after the All-Star break, averaging 18.7 points per game. The Suns are really banged up, so […]

Marquese Chriss is Questionable on Tuesday

Phoenix Suns forward/center Marquese Chriss (hip) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. The Suns have already secured the worst record in the NBA, so they might let their better players see more action on Tuesday. Chriss has been playing well in the second half of the season. He's averaging 15.0 […]

Alan Williams is Questionable on Tuesday

Phoenix Suns forward/center Alan Williams (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. Williams has played in just five games this season due to offseason knee surgery.

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (4/10/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

I can honestly say thank goodness the regular season is winding down. While the worry for 90% of the season is about how to stay under the cap, the past couple weeks have been a struggle figuring out how to spend the entire cap due to studs resting or playing very limited minutes. That won't […]

Tyler Ulis Dishes Out 10 Assists

Phoenix Suns point guard Tyler Ulis dished out a game-high 10 dimes in a 117-100 loss to the reigning NBA champion Golden State Warriors. Ulis made it a double-double by adding 15 points on a not-so-efficient 5-for-15 from the floor. Ulis also chipped in two rebounds and made one of his three attempts from behind […]

Dragan Bender Solid Again For The Suns

Phoenix Suns power forward Dragan Bender continued his late-season great play in a 17-point loss to the Golden State Warriors. Bender notched a double-double with 14 points and 14 rebounds and also threw in two assists and managed to attempt seven shots from deep while connecting on only two of them. Bender has finally started […]

Danuel House Scores Career-High 22 Points

Phoenix Suns small forward Danuel House notched a career-high 22 points against the Golden State Warriors in a 17-point loss.

Phoenix Suns center Alex Len finished the night with a solid double-double against the Golden State Warriors in a 17-point loss. Len converted on seven of 15 shots from the floor to finish with 16 points while snagging 10 rebounds, with four coming on the offensive end. Len has proven to be fantasy relevant when […]

T.J. Warren Likely Done For The Season

Phoenix Suns small forward T.J. Warren (knee) is not expected to play on Sunday versus the Golden State Warriors. Warren has not played since March 17th, but the team has not ruled him out for the season yet. He's missed nine straight contests and it's doubtful he'll play in the last two games of the […]

Devin Booker Not Expected to Play Sunday

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (hand) is not expected to play against the Golden State Warriors on Sunday. He's been sidelined 10 straight games and is likely done for the rest of the season. The Suns have just one more game after Sunday and it would be surprising for the Suns to clear Booker by […]

Elfrid Payton Expected to Miss Sunday's Game

Phoenix Suns point guard Elfrid Payton (knee) is not expected to play against the Golden State Warriors on Sunday. He continues to deal with knee tendinitis and is likely done for the season. The Suns gave up a second-round pick for Payton, but they've likely seen all they've wanted to. Tyler Ulis is expected to […]

Josh Jackson Scores 22 Points In Loss

Phoenix Suns small forward Josh Jackson continued his excellent play as of late in a 19-point loss to the New Orleans Pelicans. Jackson was not the most efficient from the floor only making seven of his 24 attempts to register his 22 points. He did salvage his rough shooting night to complete an excellent full […]

Marquese Chriss Impresses Once Again

Phoenix Suns power forward/center Marquese Chriss put up another good line in a 19-point loss to the New Orleans. Chriss was impressive on the offensive end putting up 23 points on 7-of-13 shooting from the floor and was an excellent 8-of-10 from the free-throw line where he has greatly improved as of late. Chriss also […]

Dragan Bender Posts Nice Line

Phoenix Suns power forward Dragan Bender notched an excellent line in his teams 19-point loss to the New Orleans Pelicans. Bender finished the night with 14 points and eight rebound to go along with a block and an impressive 4-of-8 from the deep.

Elfrid Payton is Unlikely to Play on Friday

Phoenix Suns point guard Elfrid Payton (knee) is unlikely to play on Friday versus the New Orleans Pelicans. Payton has been sidelined four straight games due to knee tendinitis.

Devin Booker Ruled Out on Friday
