Deandre Ayton To Rest On Sunday

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton (rest) won't suit up for Sunday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Suns are also resting Devin Booker and Jae Crowder with the playoffs quickly approaching. JaVale McGee should be a strong streaming option without Ayton available. He's normally a productive option as long as he is able to […]

Phoenix Suns shooting guard Devin Booker logged his fourth 40-plus-point performance this season during Friday's loss to the Grizzlies. Booker dominated to the tune of a 17-for-28 shooting evening, which led to him finishing with 41 points, alongside four rebounds and four assists.

Fantasy Basketball Deeper-League Waiver Wire Adds for Week 23: Obi Toppin, Josh Richardson, Payton Pritchard, Theo Maledon, Justin Anderson

The deeper a fantasy basketball league, the harder it is to hit a winner with your last few picks. It is also harder to find decent help from the waiver wire if your late-round picks don't do you justice. If you picked up a few stinkers, don't lose hope just yet. I will try to […]

JaVale McGee Will Miss Sunday’s Contest

Phoenix Suns center JaVale McGee (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Philadelphia. McGee has continued to be a solid per minute contributor when utilized off the bench, but the return of Deandre Ayton has made him a non-entity in season-long formats. On the year, McGee has averaged 9.3 points and 6.6 rebounds […]
