Goodwin registered 17 points (6-11 FG, 5-8 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and three steals over 22 minutes during Friday's 126-113 win over the Cavaliers.
Goodwin led the Suns' bench in scoring Friday and finished as the team's second-leading scorer behind Dillon Brooks (27 points). Goodwin was particularly effective from beyond the arc, which was a good sign considering that he shot 0-for-9 over the four games prior to Friday's win. His scoring has been inconsistent of late, and he'll wrap up the month of January having averaged 8.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.6 threes and 1.3 steals over 22.6 minutes per game.

Suns' Jordan Goodwin: Headed to bench
Rotowire
Goodwin will come off the bench for Thursday's game against the Pistons.
This was expected with Collin Gillespie (hand) back in action, but Goodwin should still see a sizeable role in the rotation with Devin Booker (ankle) unavailable. Through 14 games in January, Goodwin owns averages of 8.1 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.5 three-pointers and 1.1 steals per contest.

Suns' Jordan Goodwin: Starting Tuesday
Rotowire
Goodwin will start against the Nets on Tuesday.
The Suns will be without Devin Booker (ankle), Collin Gillespie (hand) and Jalen Green (hamstring) Tuesday, allowing Goodwin to step into the starting five for the first time since Nov. 24. As a starter this season (two games), he has averaged 11.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 1.5 assists across 30.0 minutes per tilt.

Suns' Jordan Goodwin: Strong line off bench
Rotowire
Goodwin had 16 points (6-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two steals in 20 minutes during Tuesday's 116-110 victory over Philadelphia.
Despite the return of Jalen Green, Goodwin maintained a sizable role off the bench and was a major bright spot for the Suns. Green was on restrictions, however, so it will be interesting to see how the backcourt rotation shapes up. Over Goodwin's last eight games, he's seeing 21.0 minutes per contest with 7.6 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.1 three-pointers.

Suns' Jordan Goodwin: Productive again Wednesday
Rotowire
Goodwin contributed 11 points (4-12 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 0-1 FT), eight rebounds, six assists, one block and two steals across 23 minutes during Wednesday's 117-98 win over the Grizzlies.
Goodwin turned in another strong performance, continuing his recent productive stretch. In three appearances over the past week, he has averaged 16.0 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.3 steals and 4.7 three-pointers. While some of what he has been doing is likely unsustainable, he does hold some streaming value as long as he is hot, even in standard fantasy formats.

Suns' Jordan Goodwin: Solid final line in win
Rotowire
Goodwin accumulated 14 points (6-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals over 28 minutes during Monday's 115-101 victory over the Wizards.
Goodwin scored in double figures for a second straight game following another decent shooting performance. He's buried two or more treys in four of his last five matchups and has added value in the steals column by collecting seven swipes over this stretch.

Suns' Jordan Goodwin: Scores nine off bench in win
Rotowire
Goodwin posted nine points (4-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 26 minutes during Monday's 108-105 win over the Timberwolves.
Goodwin has responded well to an increased role, averaging 10.6 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.6 threes across 22.6 minutes in his last five games. With Devin Booker (groin) slated to return in the coming games, Goodwin's playing time will likely decrease, but the latter has proved he can be a contributor in Phoenix's rotation and should still maintain a sizable role off the bench even with Booker back in the mix.

Suns' Jordan Goodwin: Swipes three steals in win
Rotowire
Goodwin ended Monday's 125-108 win over the Lakers with 13 points (5-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt), one rebound, five assists and three steals across 24 minutes.
Devin Booker (groin) exited early and Grayson Allen (illness) was sidelined Monday, which allowed Goodwin to maintain a prominent role in the rotation. The guard has averaged 8.4 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.5 steals in 20.2 minutes per contest over 19 games this season, and Goodwin could remain worth streaming while Booker's status is in limbo.

Suns' Jordan Goodwin: Coming off bench Wednesday
Rotowire
Goodwin is not in the Suns' starting lineup against the Kings on Wednesday, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Goodwin started in each of the Suns' last two games, but he'll revert to a reserve role Wednesday while Collin Gillespie enters the starting five. Goodwin has scored in double digits in six of his last seven games, and over that span he has averaged 11.7 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.7 steals over 25.1 minutes per game.

Suns' Jordan Goodwin: Double-double in Sunday's start
Rotowire
Goodwin ended with 15 points (7-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt), 10 rebounds, three assists and two steals over 33 minutes during Sunday's 111-102 victory over the Spurs.
Making his first start of the season while Grayson Allen (quadriceps) remains sidelined, Goodwin produced his first double-double of the season. The fifth-year guard has scored in double digits in six straight games while playing at least 20 minutes in every contest, turning that increased workload into 12.5 points, 7.0 boards, 2.8 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.7 threes a contest while shooting 52.5 percent from the floor and 45.5 percent from beyond the arc. Ryan Dunn (wrist) also missed this contest, and Jalen Green (hamstring) remains out indefinitely.

Suns' Jordan Goodwin: Records three steals
Rotowire
Goodwin amassed four points (2-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists and three steals across 23 minutes during Monday's 121-98 win over New Orleans.
This game was over in a hurry, allowing Goodwin to get some extra run at the end of the bench. With Jalen Green (hamstring) once again sidelined, Goodwin could remain in the rotation in the immediate future. Through eight appearances, he's averaging 4.5 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.3 steals in 14.9 minutes per contest.

Suns' Jordan Goodwin: Drops 24 points in preseason win
Rotowire
Goodwin turned in 24 points (10-20 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six assists, four rebounds and one steal across 37 minutes in Tuesday's 113-104 preseason win over the Lakers.
Goodwin drew the start Tuesday and led all players with 37 minutes, turning in an efficient scoring performance in the victory. The guard joined the Suns in July after being waived by the Lakers, following a 2024-25 campaign in which he averaged 5.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.0 steals across 29 regular-season appearances in 18.7 minutes per game.

Suns' Jordan Goodwin: Excels off bench in preseason win
Rotowire
Goodwin posted 19 points (5-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-9 FT), seven rebounds and two steals in 18 minutes during Friday's preseason win over the Nets.
Goodwin provided a spark off the bench Friday, making a case for more playing time in the process. That said, Goodwin still has Jared Butler and Collin Gillespie to leapfrog on Phoenix's depth chart at point guard if he wants to play meaningful minutes to open the new year.

Jordan Goodwin: Waived by Lakers
Rotowire
Goodwin was waived by the Lakers on Sunday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Goodwin will have to explore opportunities elsewhere after being waived to create space for the Lakers' recent addition, Marcus Smart. Goodwin grew into a second-unit role down the stretch last season, appearing in 29 regular-season games where he averaged 5.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.0 steals in 18.7 minutes per contest. He also appeared in four postseason games for Los Angeles during the 2024-25 campaign.

Lakers' Jordan Goodwin: Season ends Wednesday
Rotowire
Goodwin finished the 2024-25 campaign with averages of 5.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.0 steals, 0.9 three-pointers and 0.4 blocks across 18.7 minutes per game in 29 regular-season appearances (five starts).
Goodwin didn't play in Game 5 of the club's 4-1 first-round series loss to Minnesota. During the series, he averaged 0.8 points and 1.3 rebounds across 8.0 minutes per game in four outings. The 26-year-old guard signed a one-year, two-way pact with the Lakers in February after starting the season with the G League's South Bay Lakers. However, the club converted it to a standard deal in March, which includes a team option for the 2025-26 campaign. Even if the Lakers choose not to exercise that option, Goodwin put together a solid audition for teams seeking additional backcourt depth. He shot a career-high 38.2 percent from downtown, recording 43.8/38.2/81.8 shooting splits.

Lakers' Jordan Goodwin: Cleared to play
Rotowire
Goodwin (foot) is available for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
As expected, Goodwin has been upgraded from probable to available and will play in the regular-season finale. He may even start, as the Lakers will be without Austin Reaves (ankle), LeBron James (groin) and Luka Doncic (quadriceps).

Lakers' Jordan Goodwin: Likely to play Sunday
Rotowire
Goodwin is probable for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers due to right plantar fasciitis, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
The probable tag suggests Goodwin should play Sunday, but a decision on his status won't be made until the 3:30 p.m. ET tipoff Sunday. It wouldn't be surprising to see him handle a sizable workload in the regular-season finale since the Lakers will rest most of their rotation regulars.

Lakers' Jordan Goodwin: Not starting vs. Chicago
Rotowire
Goodwin is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Bulls, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.
The Lakers will be close to full strength in this matchup, so Goodwin will return to his regular role off the bench. Austin Reaves and Luka Doncic will start in the backcourt, meaning Goodwin's fantasy appeal will be close to minimal in this contest.

Lakers' Jordan Goodwin: Records four steals
Rotowire
Goodwin finished Wednesday's 120-108 victory over the Nuggets with eight points (2-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, three assists and four steals in 26 minutes.
Goodwin didn't have much success offensively but made up for it on the defensive end -- this was his fifth career game with at least four steals. The Lakers are shorthanded these days, and Goodwin will remain on the streaming radar for the short term. Over his last seven games, Goodwin has averaged 8.3 points, 4.4 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.7 three-pointers.

Lakers' Jordan Goodwin: Starting vs. Denver
Rotowire
Goodwin is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Nuggets, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.
Goodwin is one of several non-regular starters who will be part of the first unit in this contest, as the Lakers will be very shorthanded due to rest and injuries. Goodwin will be making his first start of the season, though he's coming off a solid 17-point showing versus Brooklyn earlier this week on Monday, March 10.
