Impact Kennard provided a spark off the bench, connecting on three triples while finishing second on the team in assists behind Devin Booker. He also committed zero turnovers, helping Phoenix maintain its offensive efficiency in the victory. Kennard's shooting makes him a potential streaming option for three-pointers in deeper leagues, though his modest playing time limits his overall fantasy ceiling.

Connects on two triples Kennard notched six points (2-6 FG, 2-6 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist over 18 minutes during Monday's 116-113 loss to the Warriors.

Impact Kennard attempted all six of his shots from beyond the arc, connecting twice while offering little production elsewhere. The veteran sharpshooter has settled into a modest bench role for Phoenix, logging between 12 and 19 minutes in each of his four appearances this season.

Drops 11 points in season debut Kennard provided 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one steal across 18 minutes during Saturday's 131-122 victory over the Warriors.

Impact Kennard came off the bench, making his first appearance of the season after missing the opener due to a minor knee concern. He finished with 11 points in 18 minutes, a serviceable outing given the likely rust. Phoenix has a number of backup guard options, including Kennard, Collin Gillespie and Jordan Goodwin. While all three are likely to be an every-night part of the rotation, they could also cut into each other's playing time, making their respective fantasy value hard to project.
