2026 NBA Finals Odds: Spurs, Thunder Favored; Knicks, 76ers Giving Chase

Oso Ighodaro - Not listed on injury report Ighodaro (hip) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's regular-season opener in Portland.

Impact Ighodaro missed Phoenix's preseason finale with some hip soreness, but he was never in any danger of sitting out the regular-season opener. Head coach Jordan Ott has not yet revealed who will start at center for the Suns on Opening Night, but it wouldn't be surprising to see Ighodaro and Khaman Maluach move in and out of the first unit throughout the season based on the matchup.

Luke Kennard - Questionable to play Wednesday Kennard (knee) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against Portland.

Impact Kennard began experiencing knee soreness near the end of the preseason. While the sharpshooter has been increasing his activity level in recent practices, he may need to miss a game or two to begin the 2026-27 campaign. If that's the case, Jordan Goodwin could see more minutes.

Luke Kennard - Ramping up in practice Kennard (knee) increased his activity in practice Monday, Duane Rankin of the Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Coach Jordan Ott mentioned that Kennard fared well in practice, but it seems the team is wanting to monitor him closely over the next day or so before clearing him for Wednesday's opener. "He did more today, for sure, in practice," said Ott. "This was kind of a test day to see exactly where he's at. Tomorrow will be a lower day. Try to be right for Wednesday." Kennard experienced knee soreness near the end of the preseason, forcing him to miss Wednesday's exhibition, but it isn't expected to be long-term issue.

Oso Ighodaro - Inks three-year extension Ighodaro (hip) signed a three-year, $29 million deal with the Suns on Sunday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact Ighodaro proved to be a serviceable big man during the 2025-26 campaign, averaging 6.5 points, 5.1 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 22.0 minutes per contest across 82 appearances. He will be under contract through the 2030-31 season with the extension. Ighodaro has been dealing with hip soreness to close the preseason, but there haven't been any indications that it will keep him out for the regular season opener Wednesday.

Duop Reath - Lands two-way deal Reath was converted to a two-way deal with the Suns on Saturday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Impact Reath initially signed a non-guaranteed deal with Phoenix and is now set to provide frontcourt depth while on a two-way pact. He could fight for a spot in the rotation early on due to the absence of Mark Williams (shoulder).

Devin Booker - Six assists in preseason finale Booker finished with 16 points (6-16 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, six assists and a steal across 26 minutes in Friday's 119-116 preseason loss to the Jazz.

Impact Booker struggled with his shooting efficiency, converting just six of his 16 field-goal attempts while making only one three-pointer. However, the star guard remained productive as a facilitator, leading Phoenix with six dimes. Despite the uneven performance, Booker should remain the focal point of Phoenix's offense and a reliable source of points and assists for fantasy managers. His high usage rate and mix of scoring and playmaking upside should make him an excellent fantasy contributor across all formats.

Jalen Green - Co-leads Phoenix in scoring Friday Green registered 18 points (6-13 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-5 FT), two rebounds, two assists and three steals across 23 minutes in Friday's 119-116 preseason loss to the Jazz.

Impact Green got off to a strong start and recorded 10 points in the first quarter alone, and he ultimately co-led Phoenix in scoring next to Dillon Brooks. The three steals were encouraging, and he's coming off averaging a career-best 1.1 swipes per game in the 2025-26 regular season, so there might be some upside there. But his fantasy value will mainly depend on what he does in the scoring column. He averaged 17.8 points per game across 32 regular-season appearances (27 starts) in 2025-26 in an injury-marred campaign. Green's scoring upside remains appealing for fantasy managers, particularly if he can maintain efficient perimeter shooting while contributing defensively during the regular season.

Dillon Brooks - Puts up 18 points in preseason finale Brooks tallied 18 points (6-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and an assist across 23 minutes in Friday's 119-116 preseason loss to the Jazz.

Impact Brooks delivered a productive offensive performance, finishing tied with Jalen Green for the team lead in scoring, and he seems ready for the regular season after logging 23 minutes -- only Devin Booker (26) and Khaman Maluach (24) played more than him. Brooks' scoring and perimeter shooting were encouraging in this game, though his fantasy value will depend on his offensive consistency and defensive contributions. He averaged a career-best 20.2 points per game while shooting 34.4 percent from deep in the 2025-26 regular season.

Khaman Maluach - Solid on the boards Friday Maluach finished with seven points (2-4 FG, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds, one steal and one block over 24 minutes in Friday's 119-116 preseason loss to Utah.

Impact Maluach had another subpar scoring effort, though he recorded a block for the third consecutive game while securing his second double-digit rebounding performance of the preseason. With Mark Williams (shoulder) sidelined indefinitely, Maluach will come off the bench behind Oso Ighodaro, at least to begin the 2026-27 campaign. The 20-year-old could also start if Ighodaro gets injured or doesn't play well.
