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.

Suns' Jordan Goodwin: Scores 14 points from bench
Rotowire
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.

Suns' Jordan Goodwin: Active at camp
Rotowire
Goodwin (knee) has been active at training camp.
The Suns have not mentioned the knee issue that sidelined Goodwin during Summer League, so it must've been a minor issue. During Monday's media day, president of basketball operations James Jones mentioned Goodwin as one of the players who could get some reps at point guard this season.

Suns' Jordan Goodwin: Still out Saturday
Rotowire
Goodwin (knee) won't play in Saturday's Summer League game against the Grizzlies, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Goodwin will end his 2023 Summer League campaign with just one game played, as the 24-year-old was hampered by left knee soreness throughout the tournament. However, after a strong 2022-23 season in Washington, Goodwin should be a fringe rotation piece for the Suns this year.

Suns' Jordan Goodwin: Headed to Phoenix
Rotowire
The Wizards are trading Goodwin and Bradley Beal to the Suns in exchange for Landry Shamet, Chris Paul, multiple second-round picks and multiple pick swaps, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
Goodwin is likely to be considered a toss-in for this blockbuster trade, but he could prove valuable to Phoenix as a bench piece. In Goodwin, the Suns are getting a potential rotation piece under contract for only $1.9 million next season plus a team option for 2024-25. In his second year as a pro, he averaged 6.6 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 17.8 minutes per game across 62 contests.

Wizards' Jordan Goodwin: Career-best effort in Sunday's loss
Rotowire
Goodwin closed Sunday's 114-109 loss to the Rockets with 22 points (8-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals over 30 minutes.
The second-year guard set a new career high in scoring as he handled a lead role for a depleted Wizards roster. Goodwin started three of the final four games this season and played at least 20 minutes in seven of Washington's last nine contests, but he's unlikely to handle more than a depth role heading into 2023-24.

Goodwin stepped out of the starting unit last game with Delon Wright taking the floor, but Wright will sit out the finale with knee soreness, opening a starting spot for Goodwin again. Goodwin averaged 28.5 minutes of action in his previous two starts and will likely log a similar workload Sunday.

Wizards' Jordan Goodwin: Brings four steals in starting role
Rotowire
Goodwin tallied 10 points (4-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six assists, four steals, two rebounds and one block across 29 minutes in Wednesday's 134-116 loss to the Hawks.
Though he's started in consecutive games while top point guards Monte Morris (ankle) and Delon Wright (illness) have sat out along with other higher-usage players like Bradley Beal (knee), Kristaps Porzingis (illness) and Kyle Kuzma (ankle), Goodwin hasn't stepped in to fill the scoring void in any sort of major way. Despite taking on 28- and 29-minute workloads in the two starts, Goodwin has barely cleared double digits in the scoring column on both occasions while shooting a collective 38.5 percent from the field. Fortunately for those that streamed him into fantasy lineups, Goodwin hasn't been a total zero, as he's racked up 15 assists between the two contests, and he came up big in the defensive categories Wednesday.

Wizards' Jordan Goodwin: Enters first unit
Rotowire
Goodwin will start Tuesday's game against the Bucks, Ava Wallace of The Washington Post reports.
Goodwin will step into the starting point guard spot with Monte Morris (ankle) and Delon Wright (illness) sidelined. In four games with the first five, Goodwin has averaged 10.3 points, 4.8 assists, 3.5 rebounds and 2.5 steals across 31.1 minutes, but he could see a higher usage rate with the Wizards incredibly shorthanded.
