O'Neale totaled 15 points (5-8 FG, 5-8 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist across 28 minutes during Thursday's 123-108 win over the Pacers.
O'Neale has been absolutely locked in from three-point range of late and has drained at least three three-pointers in three of his last four games. His role on offense is limited to being a spot-up shooter beyond the arc, but he'll retain strong fantasy value as long as he remains hot. O'Neale is making 40.3 percent of his three-pointers in 11 games since the All-Star break.

Rotowire
O'Neale ended Tuesday's 129-114 victory over the Bucks with 21 points (7-11 FG, 7-11 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists and two steals across 32 minutes.
O'Neale had his shot working early and often from beyond the arc in this one. He set a new season high in made triples, which surpassed his previous best of six treys against Memphis on Oct. 29.

Suns' Royce O'Neale: Iffy for Friday
Rotowire
O'Neale (foot) is questionable for Friday's game against the Pelicans.
O'Neale has some soreness in his right foot and could miss the second leg of this back-to-back set. He's been very quiet in recent outings and doesn't hold much fantasy appeal. Ryan Dunn could take on a larger role if O'Neale is unable to play.

Rotowire
O'Neale provided 13 points (4-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and three assists across 28 minutes during Thursday's 113-110 victory over the Lakers.
O'Neale sank a clutch three-pointer with seconds remaining to seal the narrow victory, thwarting the Lakers' late rally in dramatic fashion. O'Neale finally paid off as a top producer while filling in for Dillon Brooks (hand) after totaling only nine points and nine rebounds over the previous two games. He'll be a regular starter, but his results will be unpredictable and often fall below expectations.

The veteran forward has averaged 8.9 points, 4.1 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 2.0 three-pointers in 28.9 minutes per contest in his last seven games.
