Gillespie registered nine points (3-11 FG, 3-8 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 24 minutes during Sunday's 120-110 victory over the Bulls.
After starting 55 straight appearances, Gillespie was demoted to a bench role Sunday with Jordan Goodwin getting the starting nod. The two players ended up at 24 minutes apiece, suggesting that this could potentially become a timeshare. This will be a position battle to monitor closely.

Suns' Collin Gillespie: Not starting Sunday
Rotowire
Gillespie won't start Sunday's game against the Bulls, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
The Suns are switching up the starting lineup, with Jordan Goodwin replacing Gillespie and Mark Williams taking his spot back from Oso Ighodaro. Gillespie has started 55 straight appearances and should still be a major part of the rotation, despite shifting to a bench role. As a reserve (19 games), Gillespie has averaged 11.6 points, 4.8 assists, 3.9 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 25.5 minutes a night.

Suns' Collin Gillespie: Scores 11 points in loss
Rotowire
Gillespie racked up 11 points (4-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, three assists and two steals in 27 minutes during Tuesday's 115-111 loss to Orlando.
Even though he remains a player with decent fantasy upside due to the tight grip he has on a starting role, it's worth noting he's been trending in the wrong direction for a while now. Gillespie might have scored in double digits in seven of his last eight games, but over that stretch, he's averaging 12.9 points, 3.4 rebounds and 5.4 assists per contest while shooting 38.5 percent from the floor and 34.8 percent from three-point range.
Gillespie amassed 11 points (4-16 FG, 3-11 3Pt), five rebounds and 10 assists across 32 minutes during Monday's 131-105 victory over the Grizzlies.
Gillespie once again struggled to find his rhythm on the offensive end, as he's now 4-for-24 from the field over his last two games. However, he managed to make up for his shooting woes by dishing out double-digit assists for the third time in 74 appearances this season. Gillespie has scored in double figures in six of his last seven showings, and he should continue to receive plenty of chances to turn things around amidst this brief offensive skid.

Suns' Collin Gillespie: Getting back on track
Rotowire
Gillespie finished Tuesday's 125-123 loss to Denver with 11 points (4-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 27 minutes.
Gillespie has now scored in double figures in five consecutive contests, which comes on the heels of a three-game cold spell where he was held to single digits. Over these past five outings, the sharpshooter has averaged 16.2 points, 4.6 assists, 3.4 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 3.8 three-pointers in 30.6 minutes per game while shooting 43.2 percent from deep.
Gillespie finished Thursday's 101-100 loss to the Spurs with 24 points (7-13 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, six assists and two steals in 34 minutes.
Gillespie led the way for the Suns in this matchup and drained at least six three-pointers for the fifth time this season. The floor general had 17 points in the first half and matched his best scoring mark since the All-Star break. Gillespie has scored in double digits in 10 of his 15 appearances, averaging 12.9 points, 4.1 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game while shooting 40.5 percent from deep in that span.

Rotowire
Gillespie posted three points (1-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and two steals over 23 minutes during Monday's 120-112 loss to Boston.
With Devin Booker and Jalen Green combining for 61 points, Gillespie took a backseat on offense. His fantasy appeal hasn't been great lately, as he's shooting 37.7 percent from the field over his last eight games with 9.6 points, 5.1 assists, 5.0 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 2.5 three-pointers.

Rotowire
Gillespie chipped in 12 points (4-9 FG, 4-9 3Pt), nine rebounds, nine assists and two steals in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 129-114 win over Milwaukee.
Gillespie made his mark in several key categories Tuesday, and he fell just one rebound and one assist shy of his first triple-double of the season. The Villanova product has now scored in double figures in three straight games and has drilled four or more treys in each matchup during this impressive stretch.

Suns' Collin Gillespie: Pops for 24 points in victory
Rotowire
Gillespie ended with 24 points (8-15 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds and four assists over 36 minutes during Sunday's 111-99 victory over the Hornets.
Gillespie drilled five three-pointers to boost his total in the decisive win, and it's apparent that Jalen Green's return to prominence has had zero effect on Gillespie's production. Although he had a down game against Chicago four days ago, the rest of Gillespie's totals in March have been steady and consistent. The third-year pro is on track for a career year, averaging 13.6 points, 4.7 assists, 4.1 rebounds and 1.3 steals over 63 games.

Suns' Collin Gillespie: Drills four treys
Rotowire
Gillespie closed with 18 points (7-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Sunday's 92-77 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Gillespie led the Suns with 18 points, but he didn't get much help from his teammates, as Jalen Green was the only other player to score in double figures. Gillespie continues to see steady playing time due to Devin Booker (hip) being sidelined. Gillespie has knocked down seven triples over his last two appearances.

Suns' Collin Gillespie: Strong showing in 2OT win
Rotowire
Gillespie racked up 19 points (6-17 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, six assists and one steal in 45 minutes during Saturday's 113-110 double-overtime victory over the Magic.
The third-year guard had failed to score in double digits in any of his prior four games, but Gillespie got his offense going as he played more than 40 minutes in a contest for the first time. Devin Booker (hip) still lacks a clear timeline for his return, while Cole Anthony has yet to make his Suns debut after being acquired from the Bucks at the trade deadline. For now, that leaves Gillespie as the only quality point guard on the Phoenix roster.

Suns' Collin Gillespie: Muted performance in blowout loss
Rotowire
Gillespie had six points (2-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt), five rebounds and three assists over 23 minutes during Wednesday's 136-109 loss to the Thunder.
Gillespie has been a revelation overall in 2025-26, but he's likely going to have his most competition for playing time of the year if the Suns get back to full strength after the All-Star break. It's possible all of Devin Booker (ankle), Jalen Green (hamstring) and Grayson Allen (knee) are all available by then. Gillespie has averaged 12.8 points, 4.5 assists, 4.4 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 3.6 three-pointers in 28.1 minutes per game in his last eight contests.

Suns' Collin Gillespie: Sizzles with career-high 30 points
Rotowire
Gillespie closed with 30 points (10-17 FG, 8-14 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, 10 assists and three steals over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 130-125 win over Portland.
The Suns have managed to stay afloat during Devin Booker's (ankle) absence, and Gillespie has been key to the team's success. He finished way above projections Tuesday night, blowing out his previous career high in points and recording his second double-double of the season. With Jalen Green (hip) looming on the bench, there are no guarantees for continued production for Gillespie, and he may have to settle for work in the second unit once the team is fully healthy.

Friday marked the 18th time this season that Gillespie connected on at least four three-pointers in a game, and he finished as the Suns' third-leading scorer behind Dillon Brooks (27 points) and Jordan Goodwin (17 points). Gillespie has scored in double digits in nine straight outings, and over that span he has hit on 53.3 percent of his three-point attempts (on 6.7 3PA/G) and averaged 15.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.2 steals over 28.7 minutes per game.

Suns' Collin Gillespie: Questionable for Thursday
Rotowire
Gillespie (hand) is questionable to play Thursday against the Pistons.
Gillespie missed his first game of the season Tuesday after hurting his hand in Sunday's loss to the Heat, but we'll have a better idea on his status for Thursday night based on his activity level at shootaround. If the Villanova product is able to return, Jordan Goodwin could lose some minutes.

Suns' Collin Gillespie: Won't play Tuesday
Rotowire
Gillespie (hand) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game versus the Nets, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
This will be the first missed game of the season for Gillespie, and with Devin Booker (ankle) and Jalen Green (hamstring) also out, guys like Grayson Allen and Jordan Goodwin figure to be very busy on offense. The Suns' next two games come as a Thursday-Friday back-to-back set, so Gillespie might need to spend at least one more game on the sidelines before he's cleared to return.

Suns' Collin Gillespie: Added to injury report
Rotowire
Gillespie is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Nets due to a right hand sprain.
Gillespie is a late addition to the injury report, which tends to be an ominous sign. With Jalen Green (hamstring) and Devin Booker (ankle) already ruled out Tuesday, Jordan Goodwin could see plenty of minutes in the Phoenix backcourt. Jamaree Bouyea could also work his way into the streaming mix.

Suns' Collin Gillespie: Delivers full line in win

Gillespie closed with 22 points (7-10 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal over 28 minutes during Monday's 126-117 win over Brooklyn.
Gillespie turned in a balanced performance, scoring at least 20 points for the first time in the past 12 games. It continues what has been a breakout season for Gillespie, who is currently putting up top-50 value in nine-category leagues, averaging 13.4 points, 4.1 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 1.4 steals and 2.9 three-pointers. He should be able to hold down a sizable spot in the rotation, even with Jalen Green (hamstring) slated to return as soon as Tuesday.

Suns' Collin Gillespie: Nets 18 points with six dimes
Rotowire
Gillespie finished Thursday's 108-105 loss to Detroit with 18 points (6-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, six assists and two steals over 36 minutes.
Gillespie saw some more shots falling his way with Devin Booker (ankle) watching from the sidelines, and he made the most of the increased opportunity. He hasn't been the most consistent scorer this season, but the third-year guard has been getting it done with the assists (4.8), triples (2.9) and steals (1.5), which is why he's ranked inside the top-60 on the year.

Suns' Collin Gillespie: Notches 13 points in loss
Rotowire
Gillespie racked up 13 points (4-8 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist and two steals over 24 minutes during Tuesday's 127-121 loss to the Heat.
Gillespie continues to be a middle-of-the-road fantasy asset for the Suns. Over his last eight appearances, he's averaging 26.7 minutes per contest with 10.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.8 steals and 2.4 three-pointers. With Jalen Green (hamstring) due back soon, it will be interesting to see how the backcourt rotation shapes up.
