Suns' Jordan Goodwin: Ties season-high scoring mark
Rotowire
Goodwin accumulated 14 points (6-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt), seven rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 29 minutes during Sunday's 116-113 win over the Knicks.
Goodwin has looked excellent for the Suns of late and has reached the 14-point mark in his last two appearances off the bench. Goodwin is not expected to move to the starting lineup any time soon, but he might be a decent waiver pickup in some formats as long as he keeps seeing regular minutes. For what is worth, Goodwin has scored in double digits in all but one of his appearances in which he's reached the 20-minute mark.

Suns' Jordan Goodwin: Dishes out four dimes
Rotowire
Goodwin contributed three points (1-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt), two rebounds, four assists and one steal over 14 minutes during Friday's 131-128 victory over the Jazz.
Goodwin hasn't been a prolific scorer for the Suns this season with just three double-digit scoring totals in 12 appearances, but he's produced in other areas, including by notching at least three assists in three consecutive matchups. Despite his output in secondary categories, he's unlikely to have much fantasy upside as long as the Suns remain relatively healthy.

Suns' Jordan Goodwin: Offensive woes persist
Rotowire
Goodwin posted six points (2-10 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, two blocks and two steals across 16 minutes during Saturday's 112-100 loss to Philadelphia.
Goodwin's workload has fluctuated throughout the early stages of Phoenix's season, and he's been unable to settle into any scoring or facilitating rhythm. The opportunity to step up amid absences for Devin Booker (foot) and Bradley Beal (back) represent Goodwin's ideal scenario, but he can be removed from fantasy radars until he consistently demonstrates the ability to perform.
Goodwin had 14 points (6-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-3 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two steals over 30 minutes during Thursday's 100-95 loss to the Lakers.
The Suns needed help from multiple players to fill the gap left by Devin Booker (heel), and Goodwin stepped up with a seven-point first-quarter spark in the second unit. The backcourt has yet to reach full strength as it awaits Bradley Beal's (back) debut, but Goodwin should be a decent source of output behind Eric Gordon in the meantime.
