Royce O'Neale - Good to go for SaturdayO'Neale (trade pending) will be available for Saturday's game against Golden State.
ImpactThe Suns acquired O'Neale at the trade deadline, and he figures to play a key role in the second unit. In Brooklyn, O'Neale produced averages of 7.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 0.7 steals, 0.6 blocks and 2.0 three-pointers in 24.5 minutes.

David Roddy - Available against WarriorsRoddy (trade pending) will be available for Saturday's game against the Warriors.
ImpactRoyce O'Neale is also available to make his debut, but he's far more likely to carve out a meaningful role in Phoenix. Roddy made 48 appearances for the Grizzlies this season, averaging 8.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.0 three-pointers. He shot 40.2 percent from the field and 30.1 percent from beyond the arc, however.

Bradley Beal - Listed as probableBeal is probable for Saturday's game versus the Warriors due to a right ankle sprain, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.
ImpactBeal was able to play through this same injury Thursday against the Jazz, pouring in 30 points (11-21 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT) with two rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 37 minutes. Assuming he suits up Saturday, he'll have a couple days to heal up before their next game on Tuesday versus the Kings.

Devin Booker - Will return SaturdayBooker (hip) will be available for Saturday's game against the Warriors, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.comreports.
ImpactAfter missing Thursday's game against the Jazz, Booker is no longer on the injury report. Eric Gordon started in his place for that game, scoring 19 points (7-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT) with four assists, two rebounds, one block and one steal.

Walker Kessler - Swats four shots in startKessler chipped in 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, four blocks and two steals in 27 minutes during Thursday's 129-115 loss to the Suns.
ImpactKessler had come off the bench in 20 straight games prior to Thursday, but he moved into the starting lineup versus Phoenix after Utah traded Simone Fontecchio to the Pistons in exchange for Kevin Knox and a 2024 second-round draft pick. Kessler responded with a near double-double and another fine effort defensively, extending his streak of games with three-plus blocks to five contests. It's unclear how the Jazz will shift their lineup after Thursday's roster shakeup -- both Kelly Olynyk and guard Ochai Agbaji also departed, with Kira Lewis and Otto Porter coming to Utah in return -- but there's a decent chance that Kessler will return to the bench, as he's been backing up John Collins (who slid into a forward spot Thursday) at center. Even as a reserve, Kessler is an impactful player in fantasy due to his tantalizing shot-blocking ability.
