Ross ended Thursday's 119-115 win over the Nuggets with eight points (3-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt) and three rebounds over 15 minutes. Ross contributed in the scoring column for the first time in his past five games. Prior to Thursday, he had missed 11 straight field goals across the past four games. Outside of two strong performances, Ross has been relatively quiet since joining the Suns. At this point, he needs upwards of 25 minutes to have any chance at being relevant in fantasy, something that could happen in one of the two final games should the coaching staff decide to hold out the starters or other key rotation players for rest.

Ross logged 30 points (11-16 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and one assist over 27 minutes during Friday's 135-127 loss to the Kings. Ross produced his season high with only 27 minutes on the floor, and it was the best outing with his new team by a wide margin. Although his production is a pleasant surprise, his success is destined to be short-lived. Kevin Durant's (hip) imminent return will drive Ross' production down significantly, so while he'll be a valuable piece in the second unit, you won't be able to take advantage of his upside for much longer.

Ross finished Saturday's 128-119 loss to the Kings with 18 points (7-13 FG, 4-10 3Pt), two steals, one rebound and one assist in 23 minutes off the bench. At least for the first two games of Kevin Durant's (ankle) absence, Ross has been one of the early winners. After totaling 30 minutes in total in his prior two appearances before Durant went down with the ankle injury in pregame warmups prior to Wednesday's win over the Thunder, Ross has eclipsed 20 minutes in both of his last two outings while averaging 21.0 points, 5.0 three-pointers, 2.0 steals, 1.5 assists and 1.5 rebounds. Ross looks as though he could profile as a solid three-category option for the duration of Durant's absence, though expect some regression with his offense since he shot 57.7 percent from the field and 50 percent from distance over the past two contests.

Ross racked up 24 points (8-13 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two steals in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 132-101 victory over Oklahoma City. Ross did most of his damage in the second half, when he poured in 19 of his points including five triples. He ended the contest with his second-best point total of the season, and while it likely won't be anything he can be counted on to repeat on a regular basis, Ross could be in store for a regular 20-plus-minute role looking forward. Kevin Durant was scratched before the contest after spraining his ankle before pregame warmups, and the Suns reportedly fear the injury could be significant enough to sideline the star forward for the remainder of the season. If that's the case, the Suns would be forced to rely more heavily on Ross and other members of the supporting cast to pick up some of the slack on offense behind Devin Booker, Deandre Ayton and Chris Paul.

Ross (toe) has been upgraded to available and will play Sunday against the Mavericks. Ross was listed as probable earlier this week, so his availability for this game isn't surprising. The veteran wing should come off the bench against the Mavericks after missing the Suns' previous two contests.
