Maluach joined the Duke mix as a top-10 projection in the 2025 class. His size and versatility hint at a multi-faceted offensive game with developing shot creation. The Suns’ system could harness his wingspan and scoring touch, potentially yielding solid late-rookie fantasy value once he hits an NBA rotation.

Royce O’Neale brings versatile wing defense and playmaking to Phoenix, capable of guarding multiple positions and distributing when Booker sits. His 3-point shooting and length add floor-spreading value, with steady assists and defensive stats that bolster the Suns’ multi-genre lineups and fantasy depth in deeper leagues.

Grayson Allen slots into a flexible wing role behind Brooks, offering floor spacing, secondary scoring, and transition pressure. His fit hinges on shot volume, defensive discipline, and how Ott uses him in staggered lineups to balance offense and defense without diluting Booker’s primary scoring load.

Dillon Brooks is positioned as the Suns' starting small forward, bringing defense-first intensity and a disruptive edge. His presence is expected to lift Phoenix’s perimeter defense and energize the rotation, potentially elevating the team’s defensive ceiling and creating easier scoring opportunities for Booker and Ayton.

Suns host the Knicks in a high-stakes showdown with potential slate-winning upside for scorers and playmakers. Phoenix’ balanced attack and bench depth will test Knicks’ defense, creating opportunities for fantasy contributes across points, assists, and rebounds.
