Allen ended with 12 points (4-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two blocks across 21 minutes during Monday's 131-122 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

A hamstring injury might have plagued him during Phoenix's brief playoff run, but there's no question that Allen was a particularly effective nine-category fantasy asset when healthy in 2025-26. Across 51 regular-season contests, the veteran swingman averaged a career-high 16.5 points, 3.8 assists, 3.0 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 3.1 three-pointers in 28.8 minutes per game. With a club option for 2027-28, Allen is set to remain with the Suns for at least one more year.

Brooks registered 23 points (10-19 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 42 minutes during Monday's 131-122 loss to Oklahoma City in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

In his first season with Phoenix following an offseason trade from Houston, Brooks put together perhaps his finest NBA campaign. Over 56 regular-season outings, the veteran forward averaged a career-high 20.2 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.0 steals in 30.4 minutes per game. Brooks will be in the final year of his four-year contract during 2026-27.

Gillespie chipped in 20 points (7-12 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 0-1 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 29 minutes during Monday's 131-122 loss to the Thunder in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

Gillespie enjoyed a breakout campaign with the Suns in 2025-26. Over 80 regular-season outings, the sharpshooter averaged 12.7 points, 4.6 assists, 4.1 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 2.9 three-pointers in 28.5 minutes per game while shooting 40.1 percent from downtown. Gillespie is set for unrestricted free agency this summer, and he certainly appears to be in line for a multi-year contract, whether it be with Phoenix or elsewhere.

Huerter is questionable for Game 5 on Wednesday versus Orlando with a left adductor strain.

Huerter is in danger of missing Detroit's must-win contest Wednesday. If the sharpshooter cannot suit up, the likes of Daniss Jenkins, Caris LeVert and Javonte Green would all have an opportunity to step up.

Isaac (knee) is doubtful for Game 5 on Wednesday against the Pistons.

A sprained left knee has cost Isaac over a month and a half of action, and the oft-injured forward remains unlikely to return in Game 5. With Isaac expected to stay on the shelf, Jamal Cain should remain a fixture off the bench for the Magic on Wednesday.

Wagner (calf) is questionable for Game 5 on Wednesday versus the Pistons, per Shams Charania of ESPN.

Wagner has been diagnosed with a right calf strain in the aftermath of Monday's Game 4 win over Detroit, and his availability for Wednesday will hinge upon his response to treatment. It sounds like the star forward will be a true game-time decision for Game 5, as he could test out the injury during pregame warmups. If Wagner is unable to play, Anthony Black and Tristan da Silva would be in line for increased minutes.

Stewart amassed eight points (3-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-3 FT), three rebounds, one assist and eight blocks across 17 minutes during Monday's 94-88 loss to the Magic in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Stewart was a bright spot for the Pistons with a career-high eight swats in very limited action. With Detroit facing a 3-1 series deficit, Stewart made a strong case to be more involved going forward.

Banchero closed with 18 points (4-18 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 10-13 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 40 minutes during Monday's 94-88 win over the Pistons in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Banchero had a brutal night shooting the ball, but he piled on the aggression with 13 free-throw attempts. With Franz Wagner's (calf) status in the air going forward, the Magic will likely need to continue to rely heavily on Banchero.

Cain supplied eight points (4-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and nine rebounds in 24 minutes during Monday's 94-88 win over Detroit in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

Cain had a strong showing off the bench and was all over the highlight reels for his monster slam over Jalen Duren. If Franz Wagner (calf) is forced to miss time, Cain looks like someone the Magic will lean on along with possibly Tristan da Silva.

LeVert registered two points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and two blocks across 25 minutes during Monday's 94-88 loss to the Magic in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.

LeVert saw the largest workload among the reserves for Detroit, but he wasn't able to find much success. He has struggled overall in this series, shooting 25.0 percent from beyond the arc with 2.8 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 11.8 minutes per contest.
