Khaman Maluach vs. Hornets — Low-Usage Center Holds Streaming Appeal at Home
Maluach enters tonight healthy and projected to start at center for Phoenix, though his lineup spot remains unconfirmed. Across 10 games, he is averaging 8 points and 6 rebounds in 19 minutes on 62.0% shooting. After consecutive 11-point outings earlier this week, his ownership rose from 25% to 33% over four days, even as Devin Booker and Miles Bridges lead the offense.
Our single-game projection is currently unavailable for tonight's slate, so check back for updated numbers before tipoff. Expect a slower-scoring environment at home, as Phoenix is a 6.5-point favorite with a 214.5 total against a Hornets squad averaging 98.8 points per game. Tonight is one of just two remaining games for the Suns this week, giving Maluach modest streaming volume through Sunday.

Jordan Goodwin vs. Hornets — Bench Minutes Temper Recent Shooting Surge
Goodwin is healthy and active off the Phoenix bench behind Devin Booker and Collin Gillespie. Over his last three games, he has capitalized on hot perimeter shooting to average 11 points in 15 minutes per night, boosting his roster rate from 5% to 13% and his start rate to 10%.
Despite the surge, our models expect regression at home against Charlotte, projecting 12 fantasy points across 13 minutes with modest scoring and rebounding peripherals. Phoenix is favored by 6.5 points in a slower-scoring matchup, as the Hornets average under 99 points per game, which caps his secondary volume upside. With two games remaining on Phoenix's four-game week, Goodwin is best left on the bench in standard leagues.
