Royce O'Neale Injury News & Updates

O'Neale totaled 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt), eight rebounds, five assists, two steals and one block across 33 minutes during Monday's 108-105 win over Minnesota.

O'Neale bounced back with a well-rounded performance after recording zero points on 0-of-4 shooting during Friday's loss to Houston. The veteran forward was efficient from the field and finished as one of six Suns players to score in double figures. He also grabbed a team-high-tying eight boards while chipping in five or more assists for the second time in his last three outings. Additionally, O'Neale matched the game-high mark in steals, tallying multiple swipes for the ninth time across 24 regular-season outings.

O'Neale chipped in six points (2-7 FG, 2-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, 11 assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Monday's 125-108 victory over the Lakers.

Devin Booker (groin) left early and Grayson Allen (illness) was out Monday, but O'Neale stepped up with a season-high 11 assists. The veteran swingman remains worthy of roster consideration in all nine-category formats, having averaged 11.3 points, 5.4 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.2 steals and 3.1 three-pointers per contest in 22 games this season.

O'Neale contributed 11 points (4-10 FG, 3-8 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 29 minutes during Friday's 123-119 loss to Oklahoma City.

The 32-year-old forward has been a strong presence from long distance of late. O'Neale has drained at least three three-pointers in six straight games, averaging 11.0 points, 4.8 boards, 3.2 threes, 1.7 assists and 1.2 steals in 31.7 minutes over that stretch while shooting 41.3 percent (19-for-46) from beyond the arc.

O'Neale amassed nine points (3-10 FG, 3-10 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and two steals over 31 minutes during Tuesday's 127-110 win over the Trail Blazers.

O'Neale has hit multiple three-pointers in all but two games this season, and has been a great filler in the starting lineup while Dillon Brooks, Grayson Allen and Jalen Green were all sidelined. In 11 starts this season, O'Neale has averaged 11.6 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.3 steals, 0.1 blocks and 3.3 threes on a 43.9 percent clip through 30.0 minutes.

O'Neale had 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-8 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 23 minutes during Monday's 121-98 victory over the Pelicans.

Grayson Allen stole the show Monday with a 42-point performance that included a franchise-record 10 three-pointers made, but O'Neale was one of the several complementary pieces who posted a solid stat line. O'Neale has started in seven of the Suns' last eight games and has scored in double digits in all but one of those contests, establishing himself as a reliable streaming alternative in most formats.

O'Neale will start in Monday's game against the Pelicans, Shane Young of Forbes.com reports.

With Jalen Green (hamstring) sidelined, O'Neale will return to the starting five. Over his last five outings (four starts), the veteran forward has averaged 12.2 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.4 steals while shooting 45.9 percent from three-point range in 29.6 minutes per contest.

O'Neale (illness) is available for Monday's game against the Pelicans.

O'Neale was a late addition to the injury report Monday, though he'll shed his probable tag and suit up against New Orleans. Over his last five outings (four starts), the veteran forward has averaged 12.2 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.4 steals while shooting 45.9 percent from three-point range in 29.6 minutes per contest.

O'Neale (illness) is probable for Monday's game against the Pelicans, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Despite being a late addition to the injury report, O'Neale is likely to suit up Monday. The veteran swingman has averaged 12.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.5 steals in 31.5 minutes per contest across 10 games this season, and more playing time has become available with Jalen Green (hamstring) back on the shelf.

O'Neale ended with 12 points (4-8 FG, 4-8 3Pt), seven rebounds, five assists and two steals across 29 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 114-103 win over the Clippers.

After starting the prior six games, O'Neale shifted back to the second unit Saturday but stayed productive. The veteran forward has drained multiple three-pointers in 10 straight games to begin the season regardless of his role, averaging 12.6 points, 5.7 boards, 3.6 threes, 23.3 assists and 1.5 steals in 31.5 minutes a contest.

O'Neale is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Clippers, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

The Suns will play a different starting lineup for the fifth time in 10 regular-season contests, and O'Neale will head to the bench after being part of the first unit in each of the last six contests. O'Neale is averaging 10.0 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game in his three bench outings this season, although all three came between Oct. 22 and Oct. 25.

O'Neale contributed eight points (3-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Tuesday's 118-107 loss to the Warriors.

O'Neale has done a fine job filling in for Dillon Brooks (groin) in the starting lineup, averaging 13.4 points, 6.6 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 2.0 steals and 3.8 threes made across 34.4 minutes in five starts. Until Brooks returns, O'Neale will in all likelihood remain in the starting lineup.

O'Neale registered 18 points (6-12 FG, 6-11 3Pt), three rebounds and five assists across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 114-113 loss to Memphis.

O'Neale is excelling as Dillon Brooks' placeholder, averaging 17.5 points, 8.0 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 2.5 steals over two starting appearances. After acting as a regular starter during his tenures with the Jazz and the Nets, O'Neale has fallen into a support role with the Suns, The acquisition of Brooks will likely send O'Neale back to the bench upon his return.

O'Neale chipped in 17 points (6-17 FG, 5-12 3Pt), 13 rebounds, seven assists and five steals across 46 minutes during Monday's 138-134 overtime loss to the Jazz.

O'Neale had his best game of the season, falling three assists short of a triple-double. While the Suns have been largely disappointing, O'Neale has cobbled together a strong start to the season, averaging 11.8 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 2.0 steals and 3.3 three-pointers in 32.9 minutes per game. As of right now, he should be rostered in all formats.

O'Neale will move into the starting lineup for Monday's game in Utah, with Dillon Brooks (groin) unavailable.

O'Neale was averaging 28.3 minutes as a reserve through the first three games, so his statistical outlook won't change much as a member of the starting lineup. Joining him in the first unit will be Devin Booker, Grayson Allen, Ryan Dunn and Oso Ighodaro.

O'Neale is available for Wednesday's season opener against Sacramento, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.

O'Neale was a healthy scratch for the preseason finale, but he's good to go for the season opener. The veteran swingman averaged 9.1 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 0.9 steals per contest in 75 regular-season games in 2024-25, and he'll likely share the minutes at small forward with Ryan Dunn to open the year.

O'Neale has been ruled out for Tuesday's preseason game against the Lakers, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

O'Neale is among the notable names for his squad that won't play during the team's preseason finale. Devin Booker, Dillon Brooks and Ryan Dunn will also miss Tuesday's game for rest purposes.

O'Neale will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.

O'Neale's minutes had decreased in three straight games -- all starts -- so it's not a huge surprise to see Phoenix turn to Grayson Allen in the first unit Wednesday. Even with his reserve status, expect O'Neale to see plenty of action off the bench.

O'Neale notched 12 points (4-11 FG, 4-10 3Pt), six rebounds and two assists across 30 minutes during Friday's 123-103 loss to Boston.

O'Neale was sharp from the three-point line, making 40 percent of his attempts, but that's the only thing in which he stood out as the Suns suffered a disappointing 20-point loss to the Celtics. O'Neale has made only 20 starts this season and is averaging 12.2 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game in those contests. Still, even if he remains in a starting role, he's going to have a secondary role on offense -- thus limiting his fantasy upside considerably.

O'Neale will start Friday's game against the Celtics.

O'Neale has been cleared to play following a one-game absence due to an illness and will slide into the starting lineup for the first time since March 12 as the Suns opt to switch things up after losing four straight games. As a starter this season (19 games), O'Neale has averaged 12.2 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.4 steals in 29.7 minutes per game.

O'Neale (illness) has been cleared to play in Friday's game against the Celtics, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

After missing Tuesday's game against the Bucks due to an illness, O'Neale will return to the floor for Phoenix on Friday against the defending NBA champions. The 31-year-old forward is averaging 9.3 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game, shooting 43.4 percent from the field and a career-high 42.1 percent from deep.

O'Neale (illness) won't play in Tuesday's game versus the Bucks, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

O'Neale has been downgraded from questionable to out Tuesday due to an illness. In his absence, Ryan Dunn, Bol Bol and Cody Martin are candidates to receive increased playing time. O'Neale's next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Boston.

O'Neale is now listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against Milwaukee due to an illness.

O'Neale is a late addition to the injury report Tuesday, which doesn't bode well for his chances of suiting up. The veteran swingman's role is set to take on more importance due to Kevin Durant's (ankle) absence, but the Suns may need to turn elsewhere against the Bucks. If O'Neale is ultimately ruled out, Grayson Allen could be called upon to join the first unit.

O'Neale ended Sunday's 148-109 loss to the Rockets with six points (2-5 FG, 2-5 3Pt), three rebounds and three assists across 15 minutes.

Kevin Durant suffered a left ankle sprain during Sunday's loss to the Rockets and will miss at least Tuesday's game against the Bucks. O'Neale has been out of favor in Phoenix recently, but he's certainly a candidate to see more playing time in Durant's absence. The veteran has seen just 17.5 minutes over his last four outings with 7.5 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 2.5 three-pointers.

O'Neale contributed 21 points (7-12 FG, 7-12 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists in 24 minutes off the bench during Friday's 124-109 loss to the Timberwolves.

The seven three-pointers were a season high for O'Neale, while the 21 points represented his best scoring effort since he dropped 27 on the Spurs back on Feb. 20. The veteran forward has drained multiple threes in nine of the last 13 games, but he hasn't offered a lot of fantasy value otherwise, averaging 8.4 points, 4.6 boards, 2.8 assists, 2.5 treys and 0.8 steals in 23.2 minutes a contest over that stretch.

O'Neale notched 15 points (5-8 FG, 5-8 3Pt), five rebounds and two assists across 21 minutes off the bench during Friday's 123-112 victory over the Cavaliers.

It was the veteran forward's best scoring effort so far in March. O'Neale has drained multiple three-pointers in 11 of the last 14 games while shooting 48.6 percent from long range, but he doesn't offer much else as a fantasy asset -- over that stretch he's averaging 8.5 points, 4.7 boards, 2.7 assists, 2.6 threes and 0,9 steals in 22.4 minutes a contest.

O'Neale is not in starting lineup for Friday's game against the Kings.

O'Neale will cede his spot in the starting lineup to rookie first-rounder Ryan Dunn on Friday. The veteran swingman should still play significant minutes off the bench, and he's averaged 8.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.3 steals in 23.8 minutes over 12 games since the All-Star break.

O'Neale supplied two points (1-6 FG, 0-5 3Pt), four rebounds, eight assists, one block and three steals over 28 minutes during Wednesday's 111-104 loss to Houston.

O'Neale replaced Bol Bol in the starting lineup Wednesday, and that's a move that could stick with the Suns looking to shake things up once again. O'Neale produced a season-high eight assists, and he took advantage of a few extra available minutes with Grayson Allen (foot) and Nick Richards (ankle) both sidelined for this contest.

O'Neale is in the Suns' starting lineup against the Rockets on Wednesday.

O'Neale will make his 19th start of the season Wednesday, and his first since Feb. 24. He has shot 46.8 percent from three on 5.6 3PA/G since the All-Star break, and over that span he has averaged 9.2 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.1 steals over 23.6 minutes per game.

O'Neale had 12 points (4-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt), three rebounds and three assists across 29 minutes during Tuesday's 119-117 victory over the Clippers.

Bradley Beal left this game after minutes with left ankle soreness, and Bol Bol played just nine minutes in the starting lineup. Phoenix's rotation has been all over the place lately, but O'Neale would be worth a look if Beal ends up missing time. For the season, O'Neale is on pace to return 10th-round value in nine-category formats with 9.6 points, 4.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.5 blocks.

O'Neale is not in the Suns' starting lineup against the Bucks on Tuesday.

O'Neale has started in seven of the Suns' last eight games, but he'll retreat to the bench Tuesday. Bol Bol enters the starting frontcourt alongside Kevin Durant and Nick Richards, perhaps to better match up with the Bucks' frontcourt of Kyle Kuzma, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Brook Lopez. O'Neale has struggled as of late, having shot 20.0 percent from the field on 7.5 field-goal attempts per game over this last two outings.

O'Neale supplied a team-high 27 points (10-16 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists and three steals over 36 minutes during Thursday's 120-109 loss to the Spurs.

Making his second straight start and fifth in the last six games, O'Neale paced Phoenix in scoring while setting a new season high in points and tying his season high in made three-pointers. The veteran forward has taken on a larger role in February, and he's responded by averaging 15.0 points, 4.3 boards, 4.3 threes, 2.7 assists and 1.4 steals while playing at least 29 minutes in seven straight contests.

O'Neale is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockets, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.

O'Neale is the replacement for Devin Booker (back) in Phoenix's starting lineup Wednesday. The veteran swingman averaged 12.9 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.0 steals in 29.6 minutes over 14 games as a starter this season.

O'Neale will come off the bench in Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies.

With Kevin Durant (ankle) back in the fold and the Suns giving Bol Bol a look in the starting lineup, O'Neale will slide to the second unit Tuesday and lose some streaming appeal. O'Neale has averaged 7.9 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.7 blocks in 23.7 minutes through 32 games off Phoenix's bench this season. Bradley Beal (toe) remains sidelined, so O'Neale should still play significant minutes against Memphis.

O'Neale totaled 18 points (6-10 FG, 6-9 3Pt), five rebounds and one assist over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 140-109 loss to Oklahoma City.

The veteran swingman joined Phoenix's starting in the absence of Kevin Durant (ankle), notching his highest scoring output since the Dec. 7 loss to Miami. O'Neale has averaged 13.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 3.5 threes in 29.5 minutes through 12 games as a Suns starter this season, shooting 48.3 percent from three-point land during this span. If Durant is unable to go in Friday's tilt against Utah, O'Neale would be a solid streaming option in nine-category fantasy leagues.

O'Neale is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.

O'Neale will join Phoenix's starting lineup, with Kevin Durant (ankle) sitting out Wednesday and Ryan Dunn sliding to the second unit. Over 13 games as a starter for the Suns this season, O'Neale has averaged 12.9 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 3.3 threes in 29.5 minutes, granting him enhanced fantasy value.

O'Neale contributed 14 points (5-8 FG, 4-7 3Pt), four rebounds, five assists and four steals over 33 minutes during Monday's 121-119 overtime loss to Portland.

O'Neale made an impact defensively in Monday's loss to the Trail Blazers, tying his season-high total for steals with four. The 31-year-old continues to play well for Phoenix, averaging a career-high 9.2 points to go along with 5.1 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.0 steals per game while being red-hot from deep shooting a career-high 40.2 percent from beyond the arc for the Suns.

O'Neale is coming off the bench in Friday's game against the Warriors.

O'Neale was able to hold onto a spot in Phoenix's starting five despite rookie first-rounder Ryan Dunn's return in Wednesday's game against Minnesota, but the former will cede his place in the first unit to the latter Friday. The veteran swingman has averaged 7.9 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.7 blocks in 23.7 minutes over 29 games off the bench this season.

O'Neale remains in the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves.

Despite the fact that Ryan Dunn (ankle) is available for Wednesday's contest, O'Neale will remain as the starter at the small forward position. The veteran is averaging 13.8 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game in his previous 10 starts this season.

O'Neale is starting Monday's game against the Clippers, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

O'Neale will enter the starting lineup for the first time since Dec. 23 while Ryan Dunn recovers from an ankle injury. Expect a heavier workload Monday night for O'Neale, who typically sits around the 20-to-22 minute mark when deployed as a reserve.

O'Neale supplied three points (1-9 FG, 1-7 3Pt) and four rebounds over 23 minutes during Wednesday's 108-84 victory over the Nets.

O'Neale struggled from long distance against his former team Wednesday, something that's been a common theme for him since returning from an ankle sprain. Through his last six contests, the veteran swingman has averaged 4.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 1.2 three-pointers while shooting just 24.3 percent from deep. O'Neale should still be able to maintain a steady role off Phoenix's bench as he works his way through this cold spell, as his solid defense can routinely allow him to close games for the Suns. Still, his fantasy viability remains muted at the moment.

O'Neale (ankle) recorded nine points (3-7 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in 22 minutes Sunday in the Suns' 120-113 win over the Hornets.

O'Neale made his return to action after missing Phoenix's previous six games with a left ankle sprain. The veteran forward has logged more than 30 minutes on seven occasions this season, but a 20-to-25-minute role could be the reality for O'Neale moving forward while the Suns' star trio of Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal is at full strength.

O'Neale (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Hornets, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

O'Neale missed the last six games due to a left ankle sprain, but he will return to the lineup Sunday. O'Neale figures to have a sizable role when he returns to form, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him eased back into action considering the time he has missed.

O'Neale (ankle) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Hornets.

O'Neale is expected to make his return to game action after missing the club's last six outings due to a left ankle sprain. The 31-year-old has averaged 7.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.4 steals across 27.0 minutes per contest in his last five outings (two starts), though his minutes could be limited if he is able to return.

O'Neale (ankle) won't play in Saturday's game versus the Jazz, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

O'Neale has been downgraded from doubtful to out Saturday due to a left ankle sprain. The veteran forward's next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Charlotte.

O'Neale (ankle) is officially listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the Jazz.

The Suns announced back on Dec. 31 that O'Neale was set to be re-evaluated in 10 days after being diagnosed with a left ankle sprain, but the forward remains unlikely to make his return Saturday. Still, the doubtful designation could be a sign that he's inching closer to suiting up. If O'Neale is ruled out ahead of Saturday's action as expected, Ryan Dunn and Grayson Allen should continue absorbing extra playing time in Phoenix's rotation.

The Suns announced Tuesday that O'Neale will be re-evaluated in 10 days with a left ankle sprain, Shane Young of Forbes.com reports.

O'Neale suffered his ankle sprain Saturday agains the Warriors and will miss at least five games with this news. Fortunately for Phoenix, Grayson Allen (concussion) is probable to return Tuesday, while Devin Booker (groin) is questionable. O'Neale played well in December before this setback, averaging 11.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 3.1 three-pointers.

O'Neale (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.

O'Neale sprained his left ankle during the Suns' 109-105 loss to the Warriors on Saturday, and he finished the game with zero points, one rebound and one block over 12 minutes. It's unclear whether the injury is severe enough for a multi-game absence, but O'Neale's next opportunity to play will be this Saturday against the Pacers. Ryan Dunn, Josh Okogie and Oso Ighodaro are in line to see increased minutes off the bench Tuesday due to O'Neale's injury.

O'Neale (ankle) did not practice Monday, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

O'Neale had some imaging done that the Suns were optimistic about, but it sounds like his status for Tuesday's game versus the Grizzlies is in doubt. O'Neale suffered his ankle sprain Saturday against the Warriors and was unable to return. Although O'Neale could miss time, it sounds like Devin Booker (groin) and Grayson Allen (concussion) are on track to return.

O'Neale (ankle) won't return to Saturday's game against the Warriors, Amanda Pflugrad of 3TV Phoenix reports.

O'Neale departed the contest in the second quarter with an apparent left ankle injury and looked in sizable pain, and now it's been confirmed that the veteran won't return to the court. Josh Okogie is expected to have an increase in his minutes off the bench, whereas Oso Ighodaro could also see extra playing time as well.

O'Neale went to the locker room late in the second quarter of Saturday's game against the Warriors due to a left ankle injury, Amanda Pflugrad of 3TV Phoenix reports.

O'Neale rolled his left ankle late in the first half, but he was able to limp to the locker room under his own power. Josh Okogie and Oso Oghodaro would be in line for more minutes in the second half of Saturday's game if O'Neale is unable to return.

O'Neale had 14 points (5-10 FG, 4-9 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two steals over 30 minutes off the bench during Friday's 98-89 loss to the Mavericks.

It's the first time all season O'Neale has recorded multiple steals and blocks in the same game. The veteran forward has been bouncing between the first and second units, starting seven of 11 games in December, but his minutes and usage have remained consistent. On the month, he's averaging 13.0 points, 5.5 boards, 3.4 threes, 3.0 assists and 1.1 steals in 29.9 minutes a contest while shooting 49.5 percent from the floor and 47.4 percent from beyond the arc.

O'Neale is not in the Suns' starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.

O'Neale has been dropped in favor of Ryan Dunn. As a starter this season, he is averaging 14.1 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 29.8 minutes. In 25.2 minutes as a bench player, he has averaged 9.4 points, 6.1 rebounds and 2.1 assists. Even though a demoted role for O'Neale has been followed up with decreased scoring, his rebounding has been up off the bench, so his overall output may not drop off too much.

O'Neale is part of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Pistons, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

O'Neale will step into Devin Booker's (groin) spot in the first unit. In seven starts this season, O'Neale has averaged 15.7 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.7 assists across 29.3 minutes.

O'Neale will come off the bench in Thursday's game against the Pacers.

The 31-year-old will retreat to the bench with Bradley Beal (knee) returning to game action. Across his last five outings (all starts), O'Neale has averaged 17.6 points, 6.0 rebounds and 2.6 assists across 30.0 minutes per contest.

O'Neale recorded 23 points (8-15 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Saturday's 121-111 loss to the Heat.

The Suns have lost seven games without Kevin Durant (ankle), although O'Neale has mostly succeeded in plugging the hole left by the All-Star. He's averaged 21.0 points and 7.0 rebounds over the past two starts, and could serve as a useful fantasy streamer due to Durant's questionable timetable for return.

O'Neale produced 19 points (6-9 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two steals across 28 minutes during Thursday's 126-124 loss to the Pelicans.

O'Neale made his third start of the regular season Thursday due to Kevin Durant (ankle) being sidelined, and the former managed to extend his double-digit scoring streak to three games. With Durant expected to be sidelined for at least one week, O'Neale should remain in the Suns' starting lineup alongside Bradley Beal and Devin Booker.

O'Neale will enter the starting lineup in Thursday's matchup against the Pelicans.

With Kevin Durant (ankle) sidelined, O'Neale will get his third start of the season. Over his last five outings (one start), the 31-year-old averaged 11.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.4 steals across 27.0 minutes per contest.

O'Neale provided 10 points (4-12 FG, 2-9 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and one steal across 30 minutes during Tuesday's 104-93 victory over the Spurs.

O'Neale and Grayson Allen received more minutes after Kevin Durant's (ankle) exit, and O'Neale would be considered a likely replacement in the lineup if the All-Star misses another game. Although he only started twice during Durant's last absence, O'Neale has been making the most of his minutes with decent scoring and viable rebound totals.

O'Neale will come off the bench in Tuesday's game against the Lakers, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

With Kevin Durant (calf) returning from a seven-game absence, O'Neale will slide to the bench. The 31-year-old forward has averaged 8.4 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.0 steals across 24.4 minutes per game in his last five outings (two starts). O'Neale will likely still see significant playing time as both Durant and Bradley Beal (calf) will operate under a minutes restriction.

O'Neale registered 17 points (6-12 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 0-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 138-122 loss to New York.

The Suns have experimented with the four frequently during Kevin Durant's (calf), and they opted for O'Neale for the second time amid Durant's absence. O'Neale's performances have rarely been consequential, as he's recorded a double-digit total only two times this season. The Suns will likely mix-and-match players often at the position, making O'Neale an unreliable fantasy option.

O'Neale is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.

O'Neale will make his second start of the season, filling in alongside Tyus Jones, Devin Booker, Ryan Dunn and Jusuf Nurkic. In his only other start, O'Neale logged five points on 2-of-12 shooting with five rebounds and four assists across 22 minutes.

O'Neale is not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Thunder.

O'Neale struggled in the loss to the Kings on Wednesday and will head to the bench as a result, with Josh Okogie entering the starting lineup. O'Neale is averaging 10.1 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game when playing off the bench in 2024-25.

O'Neale ended with five points (2-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists and one steal over 22 minutes during Wednesday's 127-104 loss to the Kings.

The Suns are struggling to account for Kevin Durant's (calf) absence. O'Neale and Ryan Dunn have both been ineffective in making up for the lost production, and the team has lost two of their last three games without Durant in the lineup. O'Neale has broken the double-digit scoring threshold only four times over the first 12 games of the season.

O'Neale will start in place of Bradley Beal Wednesday versus Sacramento.

O'Neale profiles is an integral part of Phoenix's rotation with Beal and Grayson Allen (ankle) unavailable Wednesday. O'Neale is averaging 12.2 points and 6.8 rebounds in five contests this season in which he's logged over 25 minutes of action, although he has failed to exceed eight points on three of those occasions.

O'Neale chipped in eight points (3-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 28 minutes during Sunday's 127-118 overtime loss to the Kings.

With Kevin Durant (calf) sidelined and Jusuf Nurkic (ankle) leaving the contest early, O'Neale had the green light and attempted a season-high 14 shots. The veteran made multiple three-pointers for the sixth time over his last seven appearances, but overall, it was a rough shooting night, especially after he scored 18 points on 7-for-8 shooting from the field in Dallas on Friday. O'Neale's production tends to be inconsistent, but he's in line for increased usage until Durant returns.

O'Neale logged 21 points (7-8 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 29 minutes during Thursday's 125-119 win over the Clippers.

O'Neale's production shot up significantly, and it's too soon to say if the spike is an outlier or a sign of future success. The deck is stacked against him due to a packed depth chart, but if he can come close to 30 minutes on a nightly basis, he may be able to generate productive lines that will exceed previous expectations.

O'Neale chipped in 12 points (4-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 25 minutes during Monday's 109-105 victory over the Lakers.

O'Neale is not known for being a player who will stand out due to his scoring ability, but he made a couple of key shots in the fourth quarter to ice the game for good. O'Neale is not expected to play a prominent role on offense for the Suns, however, and as good as this line was from a fantasy perspective, he's not expected to be a major contributor on offense on a regular basis, particularly since he will continue to come off the bench regularly.

O'Neale is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason game against the Lakers.

The Suns will shift their entire first unit for this preseason finale, meaning O'Neale will head back to a bench role. That said, he's expected to see regular minutes off the bench once the regular season begins as a wing player capable of defending multiple positions.

O'Neale will start Sunday's preseason game against the Nuggets, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

O'Neale will enter the starting lineup due to all of Phoenix's usual starters getting the night off. O'Neale will likely be a rotational piece for the Suns come the regular season.

O'Neale is expected to sign a four-year, $44 million deal to return to the Suns when free agency officially opens July 6, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

The Suns acquired O'Neale on Feb. 8, and he averaged 8.1 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 0.9 steals across 25.0 minutes in 30 regular-season games for the team. The 31-year-old also shot an efficient 37.6 percent from deep in that span, and is expected to play an important role in the Suns' title aspirations.

O'Neale will start Friday's Game versus the Timberwolves, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.

Grayson Allen (ankle) will sit out Game 3, but he's considered day-to-day and could be back for Game 4 on Sunday. In 14 starts during the regular season, O'Neale averaged 10.2 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.1 steals and 2.9 three-pointers.

O'Neale had 14 points (5-10 FG, 4-8 3Pt) and four rebounds in 26 minutes during Saturday's 120-95 loss to Minnesota in Game 1 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

O'Neale led all Suns players in threes made while leading all Phoenix bench players in scoring and ending as one of four players with a double-digit point total in a postseason defeat. O'Neale connected on four or more threes in 13 games during the regular season, nine of which came off the bench. He concluded the regular season schedule with 10 or more points in two of his final four contests.

O'Neale will come off the bench Friday night against the Kings, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

O'Neale drew a start at small forward Wednesday over Grayson Allen as the team experimented with a new lineup, but O'Neale will head back to the bench for Friday's clash. The Baylor product has shown that he can produce off the bench, collecting 10 points and 11 rebounds in 29 minutes Tuesday as a reserve.

O'Neale ended Wednesday's 124-108 victory over the Clippers with 15 points (6-12 FG, 3-9 3Pt), seven rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals in 33 minutes.

O'Neale got the starting nod Wednesday, replacing Grayson Allen in the starting lineup while ending as one of four Suns players to tally 15 or more points while swiping a team-high trio of steals in a balanced performance. O'Neale, who also connected on a trio of threes, has posted at least 15 points, five rebounds and five assists in two games this year, his first while in the starting lineup.

O'Neale will start Wednesday's game against the Clippers.

O'Neale will surprisingly replace Grayson Allen in the starting lineup for Wednesday's tilt. With Allen still healthy, Neale likely won't see a minutes load in the mid-to-upper 30s, but he should still provide some fantasy value. In 13 starts this season, O'Neale is averaging 9.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.7 combined steals-plus-blocks.

O'Neal will come off the bench in Friday's game against the Timberwolves.

O'Neale is coming off a spot start, but Grayson Allen (hip) will be back in action. As a result, O'Neale will come off the bench, where he is averaging 7.4 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists across 23.0 minutes.

O'Neale is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Cavaliers, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

O'Neale will replace Grayson Allen (hip) in the starting five Wednesday. O'Neale is averaging 9.9 points, 5.9 rebounds and 4.1 assists in 32.2 minutes across his last 10 starting appearances.

O'Neale (shoulder) will be available to play Thursday against the Hawks.

O'Neale will continue to power through the shoulder issue, but it did limit him to just 10 minutes his last time out, so he's a risky target in most formats.

O'Neale is questionable for Thursday's game against Atlanta due to a right shoulder contusion, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

O'Neale fell on his shoulder in Wednesday's win over Philadelphia and played just 10 minutes. While he downplayed the severity of the injury after the game, it's unclear whether he'll be available for the second half of the back-to-back set.

O'Neale registered 16 points (6-12 FG, 4-9 3Pt), five rebounds and three assists across 26 minutes during Sunday's 140-129 loss to the Bucks.

From Feb. 25 through March 7, O'Neale started five of six games and averaged 13.0 points, 6.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks in 34.2 minutes. He also shot 43.5 percent from deep (20-for-46). However, he couldn't get anything to go for the next four games, averaging just 2.0 points while shooting 15.0 percent from the field and 14.3 percent from deep. It was more of the same to start Sunday's contest, but O'Neale found his three-point stroke in the fourth, sinking four of five triples while playing nearly the entire quarter.

O'Neale is coming off the bench for Monday's game against the Cavaliers.

O'Neale will return to his usual bench role following the return of Devin Booker from an ankle injury. O'Neale fared well in his last contest as a reserve, putting up 20 points to go along with 10 rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in 27 minutes Mar. 2 against the Rockets.

O'Neale produced nine points (3-10 FG, 3-8 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists and two blocks over 33 minutes during Sunday's 118-110 loss to the Thunder.

O'Neale took over for Devin Booker (ankle) in the starting lineup and didn't do much with his opportunity. Eric Gordon ended up as the better fit for the backcourt, but O'Neale's defensive skills were helpful at the wing. Booker's status for Tuesday is unclear, but it's unlikely that O'Neale will be a worthy fantasy target.

O'Neale will start Sunday's game against the Thunder, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.

O'Neale will return to the starting lineup for the third time in the last four games, this time due to Devin Booker (ankle) being out of the lineup. In those two previous starts, O'Neale averaged 15.5 points, 7.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 2.5 steals and 1.0 blocks in 37.0 minutes per game.

O'Neale doesn't appear on the Suns' injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Thunder after he appeared to tweak his left ankle late in the fourth quarter of Saturday's 118-109 loss to the Rockets, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

O'Neale looked to be limping around after teammate Devin Booker sprained his right ankle when he collided with O'Neale on a defensive possession with less than two minutes remaining. Booker limped to the sideline and checked out of the game at the next dead ball, while O'Neale -- who also seemed to be limping -- stayed in the contest until head coach Frank Vogel cleared the bench with 1:03 remaining in the fourth quarter. Booker will be sidelined for the second leg of the back-to-back set due to his ankle sprain, but O'Neale's apparent ankle injury won't be significant enough to keep him off the floor. O'Neale should be primed for an elevated role once again after averaging 17.0 points, 8.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 4.3 three-pointers, 2.0 steals and 1.0 blocks in 33.7 minutes over his last three contests.

O'Neale registered 20 points (7-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 27 minutes during Saturday's 118-109 loss to the Rockets.

O'Neale returned to a bench role following the addition of Bradley Beal to the starting lineup, but O'Neale found a way to contribute and finished with his third double-double of the season. Perhaps as a coincidence, two of those double-doubles happened when he played off the bench. O'Neale could be a candidate to return to the starting lineup if Devin Booker (ankle) is unable to face the Thunder on Sunday.

O'Neale will come off the bench for Saturday's game against the Rockets.

Bradley Beal is back in the lineup for Saturday, so this is an expected move. Eric Gordon (groin) is out, however, so it's likely that O'Neale will maintain a significant role.

O'Neale finished with 11 points (3-10 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, seven assists, one block and three steals across 37 minutes during Thursday's 110-105 win over the Rockets.

O'Neale didn't have his best scoring performance, but he still salvaged his fantasy day with an outstanding stat line that featured multiple contributions in four of the major five categories. O'Neale is not going to carry the team on offense any time soon, but he will remain valuable as long as he can continue to impact the game at both ends with ease.

O'Neale ended with 20 points (7-12 FG, 6-10 3Pt), 10 rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals across 37 minutes during Sunday's 123-113 victory over the Lakers.

O'Neale got his first start with Phoenix due to the absences of Bradley Beal (hamstring) and Eric Gordon (groin), connecting on a team-high-tying mark from three and ending as one of two Suns with 10 or more rebounds in a double-double outing. O'Neale posted his third game of the season with at least 10 rebounds, his first outing with at least 20 points and 10 boards.

O'Neale will start Sunday's game against the Lakers, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

With Bradley Beal (hamstring) and Eric Gordon (groin) out, O'Neale will make his first start with the Suns. He made six starts for the Nets earlier in the campaign, averaging 8.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.5 steals-plus-blocks in 30.5 minutes during those contests.

O'Neale logged 10 points (4-12 FG, 2-8 3Pt), nine rebounds, two assists and one steal in 30 minutes during Thursday's 123-113 loss to the Mavericks.

It was the veteran forward's best performance in four games with the Suns since being acquired from the Nets at the trade deadline. O'Neale is seeing a significant role in the frontcourt, averaging 28.0 minutes across the last three contests after needing a game to get acclimated to his new team, and he's averaged 9.3 points, 6.7 boards, 3.3 assists, 2.3 steals and 2.3 threes.

O'Neale (trade pending) will be available for Saturday's game against Golden State.

The Suns acquired O'Neale at the trade deadline, and he figures to play a key role in the second unit. In Brooklyn, O'Neale produced averages of 7.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 0.7 steals, 0.6 blocks and 2.0 three-pointers in 24.5 minutes.

The Nets are trading O'Neale to the Suns in exchange for the three second-round picks Thursday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

With the addition of Thaddeus Young, Brooklyn's forward rotation had become too clogged, so O'Neale's departure makes sense. The veteran forward is averaging 7.4 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 24.5 minutes across 49 appearances in 2023-24. In Phoenix, O'Neale will likely provide much-needed spacing and perimeter defense off the bench to support the team's big three of Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal.

O'Neale amassed 18 points (6-16 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and two assists in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 119-107 loss to Dallas.

O'Neale led all bench players in Tuesday's contest in scoring and threes made while hauling in a half-dozen rebounds and adding a pair of assists in a well-rounded showing. O'Neale has scored 18 or more points in three games this season, his first such performance since posting 18 points on Nov. 28 against Toronto. O'Neale has connected on at least four threes in eight games, including in two straight outings.

O'Neale supplied 15 points (5-12 FG, 5-12 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 27 minutes off the bench during Monday's 109-98 loss to the Warriors.

It's the veteran forward's best scoring performance since Jan. 15, when he also dropped 15 points and five made threes against the Heat. O'Neale's production has been erratic of late, but he could be in line for a bigger role in the short term as injuries thin Brooklyn's frontcourt -- Dorian Finney-Smith has missed the last four games with a sprained ankle, and Cameron Johnson left Monday's game early with a sore hip.

O'Neale finished with 15 points (5-10 FG, 5-10 3Pt), nine rebounds, five assists and one block across 30 minutes during Monday's 96-95 overtime loss to the Heat.

O'Neale was one rebound away from registering his third double-double of the season. Monday's performance was the third time this season he has connected on five or more three-point shots. It was O'Neale's second double-digit outing of the new year, and he is averaging 6.8 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.8 assists over 23.3 minutes per game in January.

O'Neale won't start Friday's game against the Wizards.

O'Neale drew a spot start Wednesday but will return to the bench now that Brooklyn is back to full strength. Across his last 12 appearances off the bench, O'Neale has averaged 7.2 points, 4.2 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 22.2 minutes per game.

O'Neale is in the starting five for Wednesday's game versus the Bucks.

O'Neale will replace Cameron Johnson (knee) in the starting lineup Wednesday. O'Neale is averaging 9.4 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.0 blocks in 34.6 minutes across his previous five starting appearances.

O'Neale closed Saturday's 126-115 victory over Detroit with five points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt), six rebounds, five assists and one steal over 19 minutes.

Across 11 December contests, O'Neale averaged 7.1 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.5 assists in 22.8 minutes per game. Even with Ben Simmons (back) amid an extended absence, O'Neale's workload pales in comparison to the 30.8 minutes per game he averaged in November. The 30-year-old continues to be a solid secondary facilitator and spot-up threat, but his nightly ceiling is low.

O'Neale supplied two points (1-1 FG), one rebound, one assist and one steal over 14 minutes during Thursday's 124-101 loss to the Nuggets.

O'Neale has seen his playing time drop in recent matchups, and he's logged his three lowest minute totals of the season over his last three appearances. He had minimal production during Thursday's matchup and was held below 10 points for the fifth time in his last six outings. During that six-game stretch, the 30-year-old has averaged 6.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 20.8 minutes per game.

O'Neale (hip) isn't on the injury report for Saturday's game against Orlando, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

O'Neale missed his first game of the season Thursday against Charlotte due to a left hip contusion, but he should be back in action Saturday. Over 14 appearances in November, he averaged 8.6 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.6 assists in 30.1 minutes per game.

O'Neale (hip) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Hornets.

O'Neale will be unavailable for the first time this season due to his left hip contusion. In his absence, Dorian Finney-Smith and Trendon Watford could see additional minutes.

O'Neale is questionable for Thursday's game versus the Hornets due to a left hip contusion, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.

O'Neale is in danger of missing his first game of the season Thursday due to a hip injury. If the veteran forward is ruled out, Dorian Finney-Smith and Trendon Watford are candidates to receive extended minutes in his absence.

O'Neale finished with 18 points (6-12 FG, 6-12 3Pt), seven rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal over 31 minutes during Tuesday's 115-103 victory over the Raptors.

O'Neale moved back to the bench Tuesday with Nic Claxton returning from his ankle injury, but he kept his momentum going from his best performance of the season Sunday against the Bulls. O'Neale is suddenly hot and is drawing more attention from fantasy managers, as he averaged 19.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.5 steals, 1.0 blocks and 6.0 three-pointers in his last two games.

O'Neale isn't in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Raptors.

The return of Nic Claxton from his ankle injury will send Royce O'Neale back to the bench. O'Neale is averaging 7.4 points, 4.5 rebounds and 3.1 assists in 28.3 minutes across his previous 10 appearances coming off the bench this season.

O'Neale amassed 20 points (7-11 FG, 6-10 3Pt), nine rebounds, four assists and one steal across 36 minutes during Sunday's 118-109 victory over the Bulls.

O'Neale's 20 points easily mark a new season high, and this was his sixth game of the season in double figures. Sunday's performance certainly has the look of an outlier, as O'Neale has been quiet for the most part in fantasy basketball. In his previous four games, O'Neale had scored a total of 11 points.

O'Neale will start in Sunday's game against the Bulls, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports

O'Neale will enter the starting lineup with Nic Claxton (ankle) being ruled out. In his four starts this season, O'Neale has averaged 6.8 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.3 blocks in 34.3 minutes per game.

O'Neale totaled six points (2-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt), two rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals across 29 minutes during Saturday's 112-97 win over Miami.

O'Neale did a little bit of everything in the victory, something he has become renowned for over the past 12 months. Despite his ability to diversify his contributions, O'Neale continues to struggle to be anything more than a schedule-based streaming option in nine-category formats. As the 167th-ranked player, there is no reason to be prioritizing him outside of deeper leagues.

O'Neale ended with 10 points (3-8 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two steals over 31 minutes during Sunday's 102-94 win over Washington.

O'Neale has been in and out of the starting unit in recent games, and while he moved back to the bench in this one due to the return of Nic Claxton, he still posted a decent stat line while contributing in several categories. O'Neale is also experiencing a slight uptick in his scoring figures after posting double-digit numbers in three of his last four games.

O'Neale will return to the bench with Nic Claxton returning Sunday, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.

O'Neale will likely revert to a 25-30 minute role in Brooklyn's frontcourt. The Nets will start Spencer Dinwiddie, Mikal Bridges, Dorian Finney-Smith and Cameron Johnson alongside Claxton.

O'Neale closed Wednesday's 100-93 win over the Clippers with 12 points (4-10 FG, 4-8 3Pt), 10 rebounds, two assists and three blocks across 34 minutes.

O'Neale got the start Wednesday in place of the injured Ben Simmons (hip), tallying team-high-tying marks in rebounds and blocks while finishing with a double-double in a win over the Clippers. O'Neale posted his second game with 10 or more rebounds in eight contests, also recording his second double-double of the year.

O'Neale is in the starting five for Wednesday's game versus the Clippers, NBA insider Billy Reinhardt reports.

O'Neale will replace Ben Simmons (hip) in the starting lineup Wednesday. O'Neale is averaging 6.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.0 blocks in 38.0 minutes across his previous two starting appearances this season.

O'Neale isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Milwaukee, Meghan Triplett of GrindCityMedia.com reports.

O'Neale saw an opportunity to run with the first unit during Saturday's loss against the Celtics, but he'll revert to the bench Monday with Ben Simmons set to return from a back issue. O'Neale has shouldered a significant workload as a reserve so far this season, averaging 29.7 minutes to go along with 8.0 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.7 assists over three contests.

O'Neale provided six points (2-15 FG, 2-13 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 37 minutes during Saturday's 124-114 loss to the Celtics.

O'Neale started in place of Ben Simmons (back) but could not buy a bucket. As a team, Brooklyn shot 38.5 percent from deep without O'Neale, but 32.7 percent with him -- likely accounting for the difference in a 10-point defeat. The 30-year-old connected on 38.9 percent of 5.5 threes per game last season, so there will almost certainly be better days ahead.

O'Neale will start Saturday against the Celtics in place of Ben Simmons (back), Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

O'Neale had nine points (3-10 FG, 3-9 3Pt), five rebounds, eight assists and one block over 32 minutes during Friday's 109-107 win over Chicago, and that versatile effort convinced he's the best option to replaced the versatile Simmons in the starting lineup.

O'Neale had nine points (3-10 FG, 3-9 3Pt), five rebounds, eight assists and one block over 32 minutes during Friday's 109-107 win over Chicago.

O'Neale tallied a season-high eight assists Saturday while coming off the bench. The veteran forward has received steady playing time for Brooklyn this season, averaging 31.8 minutes across his first five appearances. O'Neale has also recorded at least one block in three straight outings.

O'Neale will come off the bench for Friday's game against the Bulls, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.

Spencer Dinwiddie is back from a one-game absence after recovering from an ankle issue. The Nets have been deploying a lot of smaller lineups with Nicolas Claxton (ankle) out, so there are still a lot of minutes available for O'Neale.

O'Neale ended Wednesday's 109-105 victory over the Heat with six points (2-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt), seven rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals across 39 minutes.

O'Neale got the start in place of the injured Spencer Dinwiddie (ankle), finishing with an all-around performance while handing out a team-high-tying assist total and swiping a pair of steals defensively in a winning effort. O'Neale has been a key contributor off the Nets bench this season, averaging 7.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists over 31.8 minutes in four games. He tallied his first game of the year with at least five points, five rebounds and five assists in Wednesday's win over Miami.

O'Neal is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Heat, NBA insider Billy Reinhardt reports.

O'Neale will replace Spencer Dinwiddie (ankle) in the starting five Wednesday. O'Neale started in 53 of his 76 appearances for Brooklyn last season.

O'Neale provided five points (2-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt), seven rebounds and two assists over 23 minutes during Wednesday's 114-113 loss to Cleveland.

Although O'Neale came off the bench during Wednesday's regular-season opener, he saw ample playing time and tied for second on the team in rebounds. He's averaged over 31 minutes per game in each of the last three seasons while serving mainly as a starter, but it's possible that average decreases this year since he'll begin the year as a reserve.

O'Neale's contract for the 2023-24 season was guaranteed by the Nets on Monday, Michael Scotto of HoopsHype reports.

O'Neale will make $9.5 million this coming season, giving the Nets another versatile playmaker and defender on the perimeter. The Nets are projected to start Mikal Bridges and Cameron Johnson on the wings, but O'Neale could potentially be the first wing off the bench. Last season, O'Neale averaged 8.8 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3.7 assists.

O'Neale (knee) isn't on the injury report for Game 1 of the Eastern Conference First Round against the 76ers on Saturday, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.

O'Neale missed Sunday's regular-season finale against Philadelphia due to left knee injury management, but he'll be back in action to begin the playoffs. Over four appearances in April, he's averaged 8.0 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.5 assists in 29.5 minutes per game.

O'Neale will not play in Sunday's game against the 76ers due to left knee injury management, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.

O'Neale will sit out the Nets regular-season finale along with Dorian Finney-Smith (wrist), Cameron Johnson (knee) and Seth Curry (ankle). WIth Brooklyn severely shorthanded Sunday, Yuta Watanabe and RaiQuan Gray should each see plenty of run.

O'Neale isn't in the starting five for Friday's game versus the Magic.

O'Neale will be replaced by Dorian Finney-Smith in the starting lineup Friday. O'Neale is averaging 7.7 points, 5.0 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 26.2 minutes across his last 10 games coming off the bench.

O'Neale ended with 15 points (5-10 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, eight assists and two blocks over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 123-108 victory over the Pistons.

O'Neale got a starting nod in place of Dorian Finney-Smith (wrist) out Wednesday, finishing as one of six Nets players in double figures in scoring while finishing two dimes and three boards short of a triple-double. O'Neale has recorded at least 10 points, five rebounds and five assists six times this season. 

O'Neale will start Wednesday's game against the Pistons.

O'Neale will draw the start with Dorian Finney-Smith (wrist) sidelined. Across 52 starts this season, O'Neale has averaged 9.3 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.0 assists in 34.1 minutes, but the majority of those came when Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving were still with Brooklyn.

O'Neale accumulated eight points (3-10 FG, 2-8 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals over 35 minutes during Tuesday's 107-102 loss to Minnesota.

O'Neale played 35 minutes off the bench, contributing across all major categories. Despite playing as the sixth man for the new-look Nets, O'Neals has been doing just enough to warrant attention, even in 12-team formats. While typically a low-volume contributor, his ability to chip in across the board makes him a sneaky option, especially in roto leagues.

O'Neale (knee) is off the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Rockets.

After sitting out the second game of the Nets' recent back-to-back, O'Neale will get back on the court Wednesday. This month, he's averaging 8.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.2 steals in 27.1 minutes.

O'Neale (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Orlando, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.

O'Neale will hit the sidelines for the second leg of Brooklyn's back-to-back set, which should result in some additional minutes for Yuta Watanabe and Joe Harris. O'Neale's next chance to play will come Wednesday versus Houston.

O'Neal (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Magic due to left knee soreness.

O'Neal played 27 minutes during Saturday's win over the Heat, but he may take a seat for the second half of Brooklyn's back-to-back. If that's the case, more minutes will be available for Yuta Watanabe and Joe Harris.

O'Neale notched eight points (3-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 27 minutes during Saturday's 129-100 win over the Heat.

O'Neale continues to garner a sizable bench role for the Nets and has appeared in 12 of their first 13 March contests, posting 8.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.2 steals in 27.1 minutes. The veteran forward is a steady contributor in numerous categories on a regular basis, but his overall potential is reliant on his scoring ability, which is usually tied to how well he's shooting the ball from deep. He's made multiple three-pointers in eight of his last nine games and is connecting on 43.2 percent of his 4.9 attempts per game during that stretch.

O'Neale notched 12 points (3-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 15 rebounds, two assists and three steals over 36 minutes during Friday's 124-123 overtime win over the Timberwolves.

O'Neale was tremendous in the win, grabbing a career-high 15 rebounds. That makes back-to-back double-doubles for O'Neale, having now played at least 30 minutes in two straight games. This does not automatically make him a must-roster player, especially seeing as though the Nets have a plethora of wing options at their disposal. However, he is worth considering for streaming purposes given his ability to provide out-of-position stats.

O'Neale (knee) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Friday's game versus the Timberwolves.

O'Neale was one of numerous Nets players who were rested with different issues during Thursday's game against the Bucks. Most of the regular cast will be back in action Friday, O'Neale included, in the second game of a back-to-back set. O'Neale has settled into a bench role since the trade deadline, averaging 6.4 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.1 steals-plus-blocks over 24.6 minutes per game in his 10 appearances since the role change.

O'Neale is out for Thursday's game versus the bucks due to left knee soreness, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.

O'Neale is set to miss his first game since Jan. 2 on Thursday. Dorian Finney-Smith, Yuta Watanabe and Joe Harris are candidates to receive extended minutes in his absence. Oneale's next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Minnesota.

O'Neale finished with 10 points (4-11 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Friday's 115-105 victory over Boston.

O'Neale scored in double digits for just the second time in his last 10 games. His offense has really trailed off in recent weeks, and the same is true of his defense. In that same stretch, O'Neale is only averaging 0.6 steals and 0.3 blocks.

O'Neale will come off the bench for Saturday's game against the 76ers, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.

Saturday's tilt will mark O'Neale's first appearance off the bench this season, having started in each of his 52 appearances. Although the Nets traded Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant prior to the deadline, the returns of the superstar duo included a surplus of capable wing players. Because of this, it's unclear where O'Neale fits into the rotation but he should not be considered in standard leagues after averaging 9.3 points, 4.8 rebounds and 4.0 assists across 34.1 minutes.

O'Neale had 15 points (5-9 FG, 5-7 3Pt), one rebound and three assists over 35 minutes during Monday's 124-116 loss to the Clippers.

O'Neale was one of two Nets players to connect on five or more threes, finishing as one of four players in double figures in scoring Monday. O'Neale has finished with at least five threes in three games this season, having done so for the first time since connecting on five Dec. 23.

O'Neale closed Monday's 121-104 win over the Lakers with 14 points (5-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals across 28 minutes.

The Nets had a trio of guards score 20-plus points Monday, but O'Neale put up strong numbers of his own from the frontcourt in the victory. The veteran forward made half of his 10 shot attempts -- including three of seven from beyond the arc -- to finish with exactly 14 points for the second straight game. He also contributed across the stat sheet, finishing with multiple steals for the first time in nine contests and adding six boards and three assists. O'Neale is far from a prolific fantasy producer, but he consistently plays major minutes and is averaging career-best per-game marks in points (9.5), assists (4.0) and three-pointers (2.3) through 47 games.

O'Neale racked up three points (1-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 29 minutes before fouling out of Thursday's 130-122 loss to Detroit.

O'Neale dealt with a sore left hip ahead of Thursday's matchup, but he was able to play through the issue during the loss. However, he got into some foul trouble and was held under 30 minutes of playing time for the first time since Jan. 17. He's been held to single-digit scoring totals in four of the last six matchups and has averaged 8.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 32.0 minutes per game during that time.

O'Neale (hip) will play Thursday against the Pistons, Christian Arnold of Associated Press reports.

O'Neale was dealing with left hip soreness and was initially ruled probable for Thursday's contest. The forward has been very durable this season, missing only three games so far. O'Neale will start Thursday and he'll likely see more than 30 minutes of action against Detroit.

O'Neale is probable for Thursday's game against Detroit due to left hip soreness, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.

O'Neale has played at least 34 minutes in each of the last four matchups, but he's dealing with a hip issue ahead of the second half of a back-to-back set. However, he'll likely be able to play through the injury Thursday. Over 10 outings in January, he's averaged 9.0 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.6 assists in 34.0 minutes per game.

O'Neale finished Sunday's 120-116 win over Golden State with 16 points (6-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 39 minutes.

O'Neale is not going to turn heads with his numbers on a game-to-game basis, but the veteran forward is known for his consistency and steady production on both ends of the court. The former Baylor standout has scored in double digits in five of his last eight games, and he's putting up 10.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.0 combined blocks/steals during that span.

O'Neale racked up 13 points (4-9 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, six assists and one block in 34 minutes during Friday's 117-106 win over the Jazz.

The 29-year-old wing continues to chip in across the board while Kevin Durant (knee) is on the shelf. In the five games Durant has missed so far, O'Neale is averaging 8.8 points, 5.0 boards, 4.0 assists and 1.8 threes, including a near triple-double against the Thunder on Jan. 15. That production has come on poor 34.1 percent shooting from the floor, so there's room for his numbers to grow once the Nets' offense fully adjusts to life without KD, who may not be back until around the All-Star break.

O'Neale totaled four points (1-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Thursday's 117-112 loss to Phoenix.

O'Neale put up a dud once again Thursday, disappointing anyone who added him over the past week. Although his role is secure, O'Neale has been unable to take advantage of the recent injury to Kevin Durant (knee). He is fine to have on a 12-team roster, although his limited upside does mean he can be dropped for a hot free agent if you are tired of his mediocre performances.

O'Neale recorded five points (2-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt) and two rebounds across 21 minutes during Tuesday's 106-98 loss to the Spurs.

O'Neale came close to a triple-double Sunday against the Thunder with 11 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists, but he was much less productive Tuesday while playing under 30 minutes for the first time since Dec. 23. He's scored in double figures in three of his six appearances this month and has averaged 8.2 points, 5.7 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 33.0 minutes per game during that time.

O'Neale supplied 11 points (4-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds, eight assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Sunday's 112-102 loss to the Thunder.

O'Neale didn't have his best shooting performance, but the veteran still found ways to make an impact. He ended just two assists shy from recording a triple-double, and he's now scored in double digits in three of his last four outings.

O'Neale posted eight points (3-11 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, six assists, two blocks and one steal in 35 minutes during Sunday's 102-101 win over the Heat.

O'Neale didn't shoot the ball particularly well in this one, but he contributed across the board by crashing the glass and showcasing his passing ability. He also notched a steal for a third straight game. O'Neale is averaging 7.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.3 blocks through his first three appearances in January.

O'Neale will start Wednesday's matchup against the Bulls, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.

As expected, O'Neale, who's started every one of his appearances this season, will return to the starting lineup following a one-game absence due to an illness. Over 34 games, O'Neale is averaging 9.5 points, 4.9 rebounds and 4.2 assists in 35.1 minutes.

O'Neale (illness) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Bulls, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

O'Neale has been upgraded from probable to available after missing Monday's game with a non-COVID illness. The defensive-minded forward will likely replace Seth Curry in the starting lineup against Chicago.

O'Neale (illness) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Bulls, Chris Milholen of NetsDaily.com reports.

O'Neale was sidelined for Monday's win over the Spurs after being a late addition to the injury report with an illness, but the veteran wing is expected to return to action Wednesday. The undrafted product out of Baylor has started all 34 of his appearances this season and is averaging 9.5 points, 4.9 rebounds and 4.2 assists in 35.1 minutes per game.

O'Neale (illness) is out for Monday's contest against the Spurs

After being a late addition to Brooklyn's injury report, O'Neale will officially miss Monday's contest against San Antonio. The veteran forward's next chance to return comes Wednesday at the Bulls.

O'Neale is questionable for Monday's game against the Spurs due to a non-COVID illness, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

O'Neal was a very late addition to the injury report with an illness, which is never a good sign. If he's sidelined, Seth Curry would likely be inserted into the starting lineup, while Joe Harris, Patty Mills, T.J. Warren and Yuta Watanabe would all be candidates for increased roles off the bench.

O'Neale racked up 17 points (6-9 FG, 5-8 3Pt) and one rebound in 28 minutes during Friday's 118-100 victory over the Bucks.

O'Neale's efficient three-point shooting helped him score his second-highest points total of the season. The veteran forward is averaging 14.1 points, 3.8 assists, 3.2 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 32.1 minutes throughout December. O'Neale is also converting 54.9 percent of his field-goal attempts and 59.0 percent of his long-range attempts over that span.

O'Neale notched 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-4 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists over 32 minutes during Sunday's 124-121 win over the Pistons.

O'Neale was one of three Nets players to reach double figures in scoring, notching his first double-digit point total since scoring 11 points Dec. 2 against Toronto. O'Neale has scored 10 or more points on 13 occasions this season.

O'Neale will start at shooting guard in Friday's matchup with the Raptors.

O'Neal is returning from a two-game absence and will replace Joe Harris in the starting lineup. Look for him to take on his usual workload assuming he avoids any setbacks.

O'Neale (personal) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Friday's game versus the Raptors, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.

O'Neale was expected to retake the floor Friday based on comments from head coach Jacque Vaughn on Wednesday, and the injury report confirms that will be the case. O'Neale should retake his starting spot in the starting five, presumably bumping Joe Harris back to the bench.

Coach Jacque Vaughn said Wednesday that he expects O'Neale (personal) to be available Friday against Toronto and Sunday against Detroit, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.

O'Neale has missed the last two games due to personal reasons, but he should be back in action for the Nets' two games this weekend. He's topped 30 points in his last eight appearances and has averaged 6.9 points, 6.5 rebounds and 4.5 assists in 37.6 minutes per game during that time.

O'Neale (personal) will be out through Monday's game versus the Pacers, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

O'Neale is away from the club for personal reasons, which coincides with the other starters getting a rest Saturday. However, O'Neale won't be with the club in Washington on Monday either, making next Friday in Toronto his next chance to retake the floor.

O'Neale is out Saturday against the Pacers due to personal reasons, Chris Haynes of Turner Sports reports.

The Nets are essentially punting Saturday's game, with almost every key player on the roster taking the day off. Increased minutes will be in store for practically the entire bench.

O'Neale finished with 11 points (4-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 0-2 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Friday's 114-105 win over Toronto.

O'Neale scored in double figures for the first time since Nov. 23, scoring nine of his 11 points from downtown. Friday's shooting performance was a welcome sight for fantasy managers, as O'Neale had struggled to 2-for-12 shooting from three in his previous three matchups. O'Neale is averaging 9.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.2 steals in 24 contests this season.

O'Neale racked up 11 points (5-14 FG, 1-7 3Pt), 10 rebounds, 11 assists and one block over 37 minutes during Thursday's 109-107 win over the Trail Blazers.

O'Neale's play was on another level in this one, as he certainly didn't seem to be a candidate for this type of production after being held to three points, two boards and one assist in his last contest. However, the Baylor product has been putting up solid numbers across the board of late, averaging 8.4 points, 5.6 rebounds, 5.1 assists and 1.1 steals in 35.1 minutes over his last five matchups.

O'Neale produced three points (1-4 FG, 1-4 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist in 24 minutes during Tuesday's 153-121 loss to the Kings.

O'Neale had a season-low four field-goal attempts in Tuesday's matchup, and the Nets were unable to keep up with Sacramento offensively. The 29-year-old has now been held to single-digit scoring totals in four of the last six games while shooting just 27.5 percent from the floor over that stretch, and he was unable to generate much production in secondary categories Tuesday.

O'Neale amassed 15 points (5-12 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and two steals over 41 minutes during Monday's 96-94 loss to the Mavericks.

O'Neale and Durant have switched roles in the starting lineup throughout the season, and his consistent presence in the starting lineup is keeping Ben Simmons off the floor. While the team is keen to get Simmons involved, O'Neale is poised to have a career year with his new team and looks like the Nets' best option.

O'Neale had 20 points (8-12 FG, 4-6 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and one steal over 34 minutes during Tuesday's 108-99 loss to the Bulls.

The 29-year-old had his best scoring performance yet in a Nets uniform, scoring at least 20 points for the first time since Jan. 26, 2021 when he was still a member of the Jazz. O'Neale was perhaps viewed as just a stopgap in the starting five to begin the season with Joe Harris sidelined, but he's providing Brooklyn with exactly the kind of floor spacing they needed and has drained multiple three-pointers in seven of eight games to begin the season.

O'Neale is starting Friday against the Raptors, Chris Milholen of NetsDaily.com reports.

Although Joe Harris will be available to make his season debut Friday, O'Neale will remain in the starting lineup for a second consecutive game after he posted 10 points, seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks and three steals in 34 minutes Wednesday against the Pelicans. Coach Steve Nash didn't say Harris would have a minutes limit against Toronto, but O'Neale may handle a fairly significant workload again Friday.

O'Neale contributed 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt), seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks and three steals in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 130-108 loss to New Orleans.

O'Neale put together a nice fantasy line in the loss, scoring efficiently while adding chipping in across all other categories. The Nets brought him in to provide them with a defensive presence, something he was able to do in spades. He won't be a consistent source of points but for anyone in need of steals with some boards and perimeter scoring, he could be worth streaming in at times throughout the season.

O'Neale will start in Thursday's preseason game versus the Heat, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

O'Neale will be taking Joe Harris' (rest) spot in the starting lineup Thursday. The 29-year-old forward will likely be the team's primary backup forward once the regular season begins on Oct. 19. O'Neale averaged 7.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.1 steals in 31.2 minutes over 77 games for the Jazz last season.

O'Neale was traded from the Jazz to the Nets on Thursday in exchange for a 2023 first-round pick, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Brooklyn's acquisition of O'Neale comes mere minutes after it was announced Kevin Durant officially requested a trade. It's hard to speculate what O'Neale's role might be on a Nets roster that seems headed for major changes. Over the past three seasons with the Jazz, he averaged 6.9 points, 5.7 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 30.6 minutes.

O'Neale (thumb) is available for Friday's game against the Suns.

O'Neale will return following a one-game absence due to right thumb soreness. Since the start of March, he's averaged 7.0 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 31.3 minutes.

O'Neale (thumb) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Thunder, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

O'Neale won't be available for Wednesday's tilt with Oklahoma City due to a right thumb issue that he presumably picked up in Tuesday's win over Memphis. In his absence, Rudy Gay, Eric Paschall and Danuel House should see increased minutes.

O'Neale is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Thunder due to right thumb soreness.

O'Neale was a late addition to Wednesday's injury report, but it appears likely that he'll be held out against Oklahoma City. If he's ultimately unavailable, Rudy Gay, Eric Paschall and Danuel House should see additional run.

O'Neale closed Thursday's 122-109 win over the Lakers with two points (1-7 FG, 0-4 3Pt), seven rebounds and two assists over 29 minutes.

O'Neale couldn't get things going offensively, but he finished second on Utah in rebounds and posted a team-best plus-18 during his time on the court. The forward also recorded zero turnovers for his fourth straight game. O'Neale hasn't scored more than six points in any of his past six contests and is shooting 25.0 percent from the field over that stretch, so he's not a viable fantasy asset at the moment.

O'Neale had 14 points (5-11 FG, 4-10 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and one steal across 36 minutes during Sunday's 108-93 victory over New York.

O'Neale landed four three-pointers in the victory, putting up his best scoring game in over a month. Despite being a consistent part of the starting rotation for the Jazz, O'Neale simply offers too little on most nights to be considered a must-roster player. He can have some limited value for anyone looking for a low-volume glue guy, but at this time of the year, his lack of upside becomes quite evident.

O'Neale totaled 11 points (4-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 10 rebounds and three assists in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 123-85 victory over Portland.

All of Utah's starters played less than 25 minutes due to the large lead the team held throughout most of the game. O'Neale still managed to put together a strong fantasy line, finishing with his first double-double since Jan. 5. The steady forward has produced low-end fantasy value since the start of February with per-game averages of 9.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 2.0 three-pointers and 1.0 steals along with strong shooting rates of 54.7 percent from the field and 88.9 percent from the charity stripe across 14 games.

O'Neale notched 13 points (5-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds and two assists in 31 minutes during Monday's 111-103 loss to the Mavericks.

O'Neale put together another serviceable performance in the loss, although the lack of defense was somewhat disappointing. All in all, it's been a successful season for O'Neale, flirting with 12-team relevance on most nights. He is certainly not an attractive option given his lack of upside, but managers can typically throw him on the end of their bench without too many concerns.

O'Neale ended with 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and three steals over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 106-101 loss to the Lakers.

O'Neale wasn't spectacular in the contest, but he was one of four Utah players to notch double-digit points while adding seven boards and three thefts. The fifth-year forward has started every game in which he has played for the Jazz this season and is averaging a hefty 31.4 minutes per contest, though his value is more tangible in real life than in fantasy. O'Neale is posting 7.6 points, 4.9 boards, 2.5 assists, 1.5 three-pointers and 1.3 steals on the campaign.

O'Neale amassed six points (2-7 FG, 2-6 3Pt), two rebounds and five assists in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 111-85 win over the Warriors.

O'Neale remains a stalwart piece in Utah's starting lineup, but he hasn't been much of a fantasy producer despite seeing consistently solid minutes. The fifth-year forward has scored exactly six points in three straight games, shooting only 30 percent (6-for-20) over that span. O'Neale is a much more valuable asset to the Jazz than he is to fantasy managers.

O'Neale racked up nine points (4-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and two steals in 30 minutes during Sunday's 126-106 loss to the Timberwolves.

O'Neale was serviceable, at best, in the loss, continuing what has been a bit of a dry run for the defensive-minded forward. His playing time is locked in moving forward, that much is clear. Unfortunately, his productivity cannot be relied upon to the same level, leaving him a backend commodity. Fantasy managers in 12-team leagues can throw him on the end of their bench, although to be honest, seeking upside from a streaming target might be the way to go.

O'Neale is not on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Suns.

O'Neale was one of several regulars held out of Monday's game, but his absence from the injury report indicates that he'll be back in the lineup for Wednesday's rematch against the Suns.

O'Neale (knee) won't play Monday against the Suns, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.

O'Neale will be held out of this one due to tendinitis in his right knee. Expect Eric Paschall and Rudy Gay to see big minutes in the frontcourt Monday night with O'Neale, Bojan Bogdanovic (finger) and Rudy Gobert (calf) all out.

O'Neale is questionable for Monday's contest against the Suns due to knee tendonitis, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

O'Neale was held scoreless across 32 minutes during Sunday's loss to the Warriors and is jeopardy of missing the second half of Utah's back-to-back. Bojan Bogdanovic (finger) and Joe Ingles (ankle) are both questionable as well, plus Mike Conley (rest), Rudy Gobert (calf) and Donovan Mitchell (concussion) have all been ruled out. Fantasy managers will be implored to monitor Utah's injury report leading up to game time to figure out who will be available for the Jazz.

O'Neale totaled three points (1-5 FG, 1-5 3Pt), 15 rebounds, five assists and two steals over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 116-111 loss to Houston.

Although it wasn't a good scoring night for O'Neale, his 15 rebounds were his best total this season. O'Neale's scoring totals can jump around, but his rebound and assist totals are relatively steady, and thanks to a season average of 31.6 minutes per game, he is never short of opportunities to produce.

O'Neale racked up 11 points (4-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 31 minutes during Sunday's 125-102 victory over the Nuggets.

O'Neale remained efficient in the win, contributing in multiple categories at the same time. Unfortunately, his numbers were serviceable, at best, basically summing up what has been a so-so season. Managers in 12-team leagues could certainly do worse than having O'Neale on the end of their bench but with zero upside, you are almost certainly better off streaming that position.

O'Neale (knee) is available for Saturday's game against Indiana.

O'Neale was held out Friday against Toronto due to right patellar tendinitis. However, he'll likely reclaim his starting role Saturday.

O'Neale (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Pacers, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

O'Neale missed Friday's game against the Raptors after participating in the team's morning shootaround. However, he'll have a chance to return to the floor a day later.

O'Neale (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Raptors, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

O'Neale was able to participate in Friday's shootaround, but he'll be unavailable against Toronto. Eric Paschall, Elijah Hughes and Malik FItts should see increased run.

O'Neale (knee) participated in shootaround ahead of Friday's game against Toronto, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

O'Neale continues to deal with patellar tendonitis and is officially listed as questionable, but he appears to be trending in the right direction. If available, the 6-foot-4 wing could see increased usage as Bojan Bogdanovic (finger) and Joe Ingles (COVID-19 protocols) have both been ruled out, and Rudy Gay (heel) is unlikely to play.

O'Neale (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Raptors, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

O'Neale continues to deal with right patellar tendonitis, but he was able to play through the injury in Wednesday's win over the Nuggets. If he's unavailable Friday, Eric Paschall and Rudy Gay (heel) should see increased run.

O'Neale registered 13 points (5-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt), 11 rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 115-109 win over Denver.

O'Neale delivered a multi-cat special in the victory, managing to grab double-digit boards for just the third time this season. The offense comes and goes for O'Neale, although he can usually be relied upon to chip in across numerous categories on most nights. He remains a 12-team option but the upside is typically quite subdued.

O'Neale (knee) is available to play Wednesday against Denver, Andy Larsen of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

O'Neale was originally deemed questionable with right patellar tendonitis, but it apparently won't affect his status for Wednesday's contest. The forward is currently recording 7.2 points and 4.8 rebounds across 35 outings this year with Utah.

O'Neale is questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Nuggets due to right patellar tendonitis.

O'Neale hasn't missed a game since Nov. 29, but he lands on the injury report along with a handful of his teammates. More information may arrive following morning shootaround.

O'Neale ended Monday's 115-104 win over the Pelicans with five points (2-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist over 29 minutes.

O'Neale's contributions don't always show up in the box score, but he remains one of the league's most underrated three-and-D wings. Fantasy-wise, he's not an elite contributor in any one category, but he's averaging 1.4 steals and 1.4 threes per game while shooting 47.6 percent from the field through 35 games. However, O'Neale's free throw percentage (71.0% FT) is down considerably relative to 2020-21 (84.8% 3Pt).

O'Neale produced nine points (3-3 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, seven assists, one block and three steals across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 136-104 victory over the Timberwolves.

O'Neale's stat lines rarely jump off the page, but he continues to chug along as a sneaky-valuable -- albeit low-end -- player to roster in roto leagues. O'Neale has multiple steals in nine games this season (1.6 SPG) and is up to 1.7 made threes per game on nearly 40 percent shooting from deep.

O'Neale (ankle) is not listed on the Jazz's injury report ahead of Friday's game against Boston, Eric Walden of the Salt Lake Tribune reports.

As expected, Utah will get O'Neale back after he went through a full practice Wednesday. The forward missed the previous two games due to a sprained right ankle. Fantasy-wise, O'Neale doesn't offer an overly enticing profile, but he rarely misses time and is up to a career-best 1.7 steals per game on the season to go with 7.6 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.5 threes.

O'Neale (ankle) was a full participant at practice Wednesday, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.

O'Neale has missed two straight games due to a sprained right ankle, but he appears to be trending in the right direction for Friday's contest against the Celtics. As a full-time starter this year, O'Neale is averaging 7.6 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.7 steals across 31.0 minutes per game.

O'Neale (ankle) is unavailable for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

O'Neale will be sidelined for the second consecutive contest due to a sprained right ankle. Joe Ingles should receive another start for Utah, and Eric Paschall could also see increased run Monday.

O'Neale (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers.

O'Neale has been dealing with a lingering ankle sprain that kept him out of Saturday's matchup against the Pelicans. If he's forced to miss a second straight game, Rudy Gay and Eric Paschall should see increased run.

O'Neale (ankle) is out Saturday against the Pelicans, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

O'Neale has been a regular on the injury report with a sprained ankle, but he will miss his first game of the season Saturday. In his absence, Rudy Gay and Eric Paschall will likely see increased roles against the Pelicans.

O'Neal (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's matchup with the Pelicans, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

No surprise here, as O'Neale has been a regular on the injury report with this issue. However, he continues to play through it at 31.5 minutes per game. Still, his status will need to be monitored until the team officially clears him prior to tip-off.

O'Neale (ankle/foot) logged six points (2-4 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three rebounds, three blocks and two steals across 32 minutes Friday during a 98-97 loss versus New Orleans.

Multiple sprains did not prevent O'Neale from continuing to do well defensively. Across his last seven games, he is averaging 1.6 steals and 1.3 blocks. O'Neale has an excellent steals-plus-blocks average indicating the forward would be beneficial to fantasy managers who value defense.

O'Neale (foot) is available for Friday's matchup with the Pelicans, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

O'Neale has been a regular on the Jazz's injury report since suffering an ankle sprain on Nov. 3. Utah appears to be erring on the side of caution with the injury report, as he has not missed a game and averaged 31.5 minutes per contest. Barring any setbacks, look for him to take on his usual workload.

O'Neale is questionable against the Pelicans on Friday because of ankle and foot injuries.

O'Neale sprained his right ankle and foot sometime during or after the Jazz's previous game at Oklahoma City on Wednesday. They have multiple backup options if their starting power forward becomes unavailable. Joe Ingles, Rudy Gay and Eric Paschall are capable replacements.

O'Neale accumulated five points (2-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist, two blocks and five steals in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 110-104 win over Oklahoma City.

O'Neale struggled on the offensive end of the court during the win but more than made up for it by accumulating some gaudy defensive production. He has been solid for the Jazz, once again, and plays his role to perfection on most nights. He has basically zero upside when it comes to fantasy, but his ability to chip in across the board makes him a worthwhile addition in all roto formats.

O'Neale contributed 11 points (4-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and four assists over 33 minutes in a 110-98 win over the Hawks on Tuesday.

O'Neale now has three straight performances with double-digit scoring, after not exceeding 10 points all season previously. O'Neale is an elite defender, but that infrequently shows in the box score. Averaging multiple steals per game would cement him as a viable fantasy asset, but until doing so he's only worth monitoring.

O'Neale finished with 14 points (5-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, three steals and two assists in 34 minutes during Sunday's 107-100 loss to the Magic.

O'Neale produced his best game of the season to date in what was a disappointing loss. Despite a consistent role, his production is often a little underwhelming. He has the ability to be an efficient scorer and his defensive effort is always there. Fantasy managers in standard leagues should view him as a viable asset, although streaming his position could also be just as beneficial.

O'Neale (ankle) is available Saturday against the Heat.

O'Neale will play through a sprained right ankle, and he has yet to miss a game this season. Over the past five games, he's averaging 6.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.2 steals.

O'Neale (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Lakers.

O'Neale played through the ankle injury Thursday against the Hawks and may do so again Saturday. He didn't appear limited by the issue in Atlanta and played 34 minutes while putting up nine points (3-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FG), six rebounds and six assists.

O'Neale (ankle) will be available for Thursday's game against the Hawks, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

The defensive-minded wing was questionable coming into the day, but he's been given the green light to play, and he could be set for increased minutes with Donovan Mitchell (ankle) sidelined. As usual, O'Neale isn't providing much on the offensive end (5.1 PPG), but he's chipped in 4.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.6 steals, 0.7 blocks and 0.9 threes per game thus far.

O'Neale is questionable for Thursday's game against the Hawks due to a sprained right ankle.

O'Neale apparently picked up the injury during Tuesday's win over the Kings, when he had only two points (1-5 FG, 0-4 3Pt), five rebounds and two assists in 30 minutes. Rudy Gobert (heel) is out and Donovan Mitchell (ankle) is also questionable, so O'Neale could have a bigger offensive role Thursday if available.

O'Neale saw 28 minutes and posted zero points (0-4 FG, 0-4 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists and one block during Wednesday's 108-86 opening-night victory over the Thunder.

O'Neale remains an extremely low-usage starter in Utah's rotation, and he's there mainly as a three-and-D option with nice rebounding upside. When the Jazz are in more competitive games, he should see 30-plus minutes.

O'Neale had 21 points (8-12 FG, 4-6 3pt, 1-1 FT) and 10 rebounds in Friday's 131-119 loss to the Clippers.

O'Neale had one of his best games of the year as he recorded just his fourth double-double of the year and had a season-high 21 points. The 28-year-old isn't typically known for his scoring but he improved his scoring average by over four points in 11 playoff games this year. A large reason for that was his shooting improvement, as he shot 46.7 percent from three and 50.6 percent overall from the field. It's unrealistic to hold him to these shooting standards heading into next season but he's definitely shown his potential after stepping up in the playoffs.

O'Neale closed with nine points (3-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt), nine rebounds, three steals and one assist in 35 minutes during Monday's 120-113 victory over Memphis.

O'Neale played a team-high 35 minutes in Monday's Game 4 victory, emphasizing just how important he is to the Jazz. While he typically won't blow anyone away with eye-popping stats, he has the ability to contribute on both ends of the floor on a seemingly regular basis. Looking ahead and assuming the Jazz can wrap the series up in the next game, O'Neale should continue to be a key piece for the Jazz as they strive for an elusive piece of silverware.

O'Neale posted 12 points (4-8 FG, 4-7 3Pt), seven rebounds and a steal across 32 minutes in Saturday's 121-111 win over the Grizzlies.

O'Neale is not the first name you think of when considering sharpshooters on Utah's roster, but his numbers from long-range have been off-the-charts in this series. He's drilled nine threes at a rate of 56.3 percent over three games, which destroys his career average by a wide margin. If he can stay hot, his production could make for a great contrarian DFS target moving forward.

O'Neale posted 14 points (5-7 FG, 4-6 3Pt), eight rebounds and three assists in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 141-129 Game 2 win over the Grizzlies.

Wednesday marked O'Neale's first double-digit scoring effort since May 10, and it was his first game with at least 14 points since April 17. He's primarily a three-and-D presence with rebounding upside, so he likely won't have great performances unless he knocks down multiple threes.

O'Neale (wrist) is available for Friday's game against the Suns.

O'Neale was dealing with right wrist soreness heading into Friday's matchup, but he'll be able to play through the issue. The 27-year-old has averaged 7.8 points and 8.2 rebounds in 29.6 minutes per game across his last five appearances.

O'Neale (wrist) is questionable for Friday's game against Phoenix.

O'Neale is dealing with soreness in his right wrist, which has his status uncertain for Friday's game. The 27-year-old has only missed one game so far this season.

O'Neale scored six points (2-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt) with 10 rebounds, four assists and one steal in a 105-104 loss to the Timberwolves on Monday.

O'Neale had another solid all-around performance despite failing to score in double figures for the third consecutive contest. The forward has secured seven-plus rebounds in nine of his last ten games and averaged 6.6 points, 10.0 rebounds and 3.1 assists over that stretch.

O'Neale collected two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), 13 rebounds, one assist and one steal in a 112-89 victory over the Rockets on Wednesday.

O'Neale wasn't very involved offensively but continued his strong play on the glass, grabbing eight-plus rebounds for the seventh consecutive game. Over that stretch, the forward has scored in double figures just twice and averaged 7.2 points, 10.7 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game.

O'Neale (rest) will play and start Friday against the Pacers.

As expected, after getting Tuesday's game off for rest, O'Neale is back in action Friday. This month, he's averaged 2.6 points, 8.1 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 31.3 minutes.

O'Neale will be rested for Tuesday's game against the Thunder, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

The Jazz will take advantage of a favorable matchup, as well as a few upcoming off days, to give O'Neale the night off on the second half of a back-to-back. As such, he'll have three full days to rest before Friday's home matchup against the Pacers. Entering Tuesday, O'Neale had started all 54 games thus far.

O'Neale recorded two points (0-8 FG, 0-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block during Monday's loss to Dallas.

O'Neale continued to struggled offensively from the floor, as the forward finished with a nightmare performance from three. Over his past four games, O'Neale is shooting a mere 11.1 percent from deep while averaging just 4.0 points.

O'Neale totaled 10 points (3-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and two steals over 30 minutes in a 114-99 win over Houston on Friday.

O'Neale isn't much of a scorer, but he is a nice fit in Utah's starting lineup due to his ability to contribute on the boards and play solid defense. The fourth-year forward is enjoying a strong season with career-high per-game marks of 7.6 points, 6.8 boards, 2.6 assists and 1.7 three-pointers, though those numbers aren't likely to stir much excitement in fantasy leagues.

O'Neale accumulated six points (2-4 FG, 2-4 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 114-89 win over the Lakers.

O'Neale continues to be a low-usage option for the Jazz but is producing well enough to be useful in fantasy. In February, the forward has averaged 6.9 points, 7.1 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.5 threes and a combined 1.7 steals-plus-blocks in 33.3 minutes.

O'Neale registered 11 points (3-7 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and three steals Monday in a victory over the 76ers.

O'Neale continued his stellar defense and also contributed double-digit points for the only the second time this month. The forward is averaging career-highs in points, rebounds and three-point percentage for the red-hot Jazz this season. O'Neale has been a great role-player contributing a handful of counting stats in most games this season. His defense has been particularly great of late, coming away with three steals in back-to-back games.

O'Neale tallied eight points (3-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, three steals and three blocks across 32 minutes Saturday in the Jazz's 112-94 win over the Heat.

O'Neale was held to single digits in scoring for the sixth straight game, but fantasy managers aren't rostering him for his production in the points category. Instead, O'Neale provides value with his rebounding, three-point shooting and defensive stats, though his steals and blocks counts against the Heat are on the higher end of what he typically provides.

O'Neale recorded zero points (0-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt), 10 rebounds and one assist in Friday's 129-115 win over the Bucks.

Friday's contest marked the first time O'Neale has failed to score since opening night against the Trail Blazers. However, he made up for it with 10 boards -- his sixth time this season reaching double-digit rebounds. Over the past five games, O'Neale is averaging 5.2 points, 6.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 33.4 minutes.

O'Neale recorded six points (2-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds and three assists over 34 minutes in Sunday's 103-95 win over the Pacers.

O'Neale only recorded one rebound in Friday's win, but he was more effective on the boards in Sunday's contest. However, he had a low shot volume against Indiana and was unable to generate much scoring for the Jazz. He'll attempt to return to form Tuesday against the Celtics.

O'Neale had 12 points (5-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt), 13 rebounds, three assists, three steals and a block across 34 minutes in Tuesday's win over the Pistons.

O'Neale notched his second double-double of the season while tying his season-high mark for rebounds, and he has also scored 12 or more points in three of his last five appearances. He's not the most consistent producer and usually has a limited role in the offensive scheme, but O'Neale can provide value with his defense and his ability to stuff the stat sheet on a regular basis.

O'Neale posted 12 points (4-4 FG, 4-4 3Pt), six rebounds and three assists over 26 minutes in Sunday's 128-117 loss to the Nuggets.

O'Neale had only totaled 13 points over the past two contests after putting up a career-high 20 points against the Knicks on Tuesday. However, he was far more productive against Denver, as he was perfect on his attempts from beyond the arc. O'Neale committed a season-high three turnovers in the loss, but he was still a solid contributor in multiple areas.

O'Neale recorded 20 points (7-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one block in a 108-94 win Tuesday versus New York.

O'Neale made a big mark in the fourth quarter by scoring nine points as the Jazz came back from one point down to win by 14. The forward usurped his previous scoring high, when he scored 19 in a Valentine's Day game at Phoenix in 2018. O'Neale remains a limited-value option as his scoring spurts are occasional and unpredictable to measure, especially for a contending team like the Jazz.

O'Neale recorded six points (2-8 FG, 2-7 3Pt), two blocks, one rebound and one assist during Tuesday's 118-102 win over the Pelicans.

While the Jazz were able to make easy work of the Pelicans, O'Neale had one of his least productive games of the season. He's been playing well recently, and in eight games prior to Tuesday, he was averaging 8.4 points, 6.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.0 steals in 31.1 minutes. Tuesday's performance is likely just a blip for the fourth-year forward.

O'Neale had 11 points (3-4 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 11 rebounds and five assists in 29 minutes during Sunday's 130-109 win over the Spurs.

The 27-year-old had a double-double in the first game of the season in which he put up double-digit points. O'Neale is averaging 6.5 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 1.5 assists in 32.2 minutes while shooting 47.6 percent on three-pointers through the first six games of the season

O'Neale (knee) is available for Sunday's game against the Spurs.

It's not a major surprise to see O'Neale active for Sunday's game after he was listed as probable ahead of the contest. He should serve as a starter for the Jazz once again Sunday.

O'Neale is probable for Sunday's game against the Spurs due to a right knee bruise.

O'Neale has emerged from Friday's win over the Clippers with a knee injury, but he's still expected to play Sunday. In five games, he's averaging 5.6 points and 7.8 rebounds in 33.0 minutes.

O'Neale notched six points (2-7 FG, 2-6 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists over 34 minutes in Friday's 106-100 win over the Clippers.

O'Neale came close to a double-double in Thursday's matchup, but he was less productive against the Clippers on Friday. While the 27-year-old still hasn't produced a double-digit scoring total this year, he's played at least 34 minutes for the Jazz in each of the last four contests.

O'Neale won't play in Monday's preseason game against Phoenix.

It appears that the veteran will get another game to rest, as O'Neale missed Saturday's preseason contest due to rest. Georges Niang will likely earn the start once again.

O'Neale is out for Saturday's preseason opener against the Suns, Sarah Todd of The Deseret News reports.

It's unclear why O"Neale is sidelined, though it could be related to COVID-19 protocol. In his stead, Georges Niang is expected to draw the start.

O'Neale chipped in nine points (3-4 FG, 3-4 3Pt), eight assists, seven rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 124-105 Game 2 win against the Nuggets.

O'Neale was outstanding, contributing across every category while showcasing his improved playmaking ability and ever-sturdy defense. His career high assist total is six, which he surpassed here on the big stage that is the postseason. O'Neale raised his assist average from 1.5 last season to 2.5 this season without committing more turnovers (0.9 per night). Moreover, the 27-year-old wing averaged 28.9 minutes across 71 regular season appearances in 2019-20 and has combined to log 67 minutes through these first two playoff matchups.

O'Neale (calf) is available for Saturday's game against the Nuggets.

O'Neale sat out Friday against the Spurs due to right calf soreness, but he's good to go Saturday. In the bubble, he's averaging 10.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 2.3 steals in 30.8 minutes.

The Jazz have listed O'Neale (calf) as probable for Saturday's matchup against the Nuggets, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

O'Neale sat out of Friday's game against the Spurs along with several other starters on the frontend of a back-to-back set. Both Mike Conley (knee) and Rudy Gobert (rest) have been cleared to play, while Mitchell remains questionable. O'Neale appears on track to give it a go, but his status is unlikely to be confirmed until closer to game time.

O'Neale will not play Friday against the Spurs due to a sore right calf.

The Jazz will also sit Donovan Mitchell, Mike Conley and Rudy Gobert, so O'Neale's absence is likely more rest-related than injury-related as the Jazz enter a back-to-back set. The likes of Tony Bradley, Ed Davis, Emmanuel Mudiay, Georges Niang, Juwan Morgan Jordan Clarkson, Rayjon Tucker and Jarrell Brantley should all be set for increased minutes.

O'Neale (foot) is in the starting lineup for Monday's contest against the Lakers.

O'Neale was originally deemed probable due to right foot soreness, but the forward will nevertheless resume his role in the starting five. The Baylor product is averaging 11 points and seven rebounds in two games since the NBA season resumed.

O'Neale is considered probable for Monday's game against the Lakers due to a sore right foot.

The issue doesn't appear to be serious, but O'Neale's status is worth monitoring after shootaround Monday morning. In the Jazz's first seeding game against Oklahoma City on Saturday, O'Neale posted 10 points, five rebounds, two assists and two steals.

O'Neale turned in four points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-5 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and one steal in 25 minutes during Monday's 112-107 scrimmage win over the Nets.

O'Neale paced the team in rebounding and minutes while producing a well-rounded stat line overall. The improved playmaking has been a season-long trend, and with Bojan Bogdanovic (wrist) likely out for the remainder of the restart, O'Neale seems set to see significant playing time going forward.

O'Neale compiled 15 points (6-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in 33 minutes during Monday's 101-92 loss to Toronto.

O'Neale stepped up for the Jazz who struggled to get any meaningful production out of their usual suspects. He is firmly entrenched in the starting lineup and his current role at least gives him value in deeper formats. Unfortunately, his ceiling is quite limited which does render him a non-factor in standard leagues.

O'Neale posted 12 points (4-6 FG, 4-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, three assists and one block across 29 minutes during Monday's 126-113 win over the Cavaliers.

O'Neale has played well over the past three games since re-joining the starting five, averaging 11.3 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.7 threes, 2.0 assists and 1.3 steals. Monday's four made triples tied his season high. The Jazz are 5-1 this season when O'Neale hits at least three shots from distance.

O'Neale will start for the Jazz moving forward, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.

O'Neale has come off the bench in each of the past two games -- and six of the past nine -- but is set to replace Mike Conley in the starting lineup as the Jazz look to shake things up in the midst of a three-game losing streak. Across 48 starts this season, O'Neale is averaging 6.1 points, 5.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 29.7 minutes.

O'Neale is coming off the bench Saturday versus the Rockets, Andy Larsen of KSL.com reports.

O'Neale started the previous three games but will move back to the bench for Saturday's contest. He's averaging 4.7 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.0 assist in 25.3 minutes over seven games in that role this season.

O'Neale will come off the bench Saturday against the Trail Blazers, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

Mike Conley will be given the starting nod, and as a result, O'Neale will be sent to the bench. In three games coming off the pine this season, he's averaging 7.0 points and 4.7 rebounds in 28.3 minutes.

O'Neale agreed to a four-year, $36 million extension with the Jazz on Sunday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

O'Neale has started all but three games this season and is averaging 6.2 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 29.6 minutes, and he's also shooting 44.3 percent on three-point attempts. The 26-year-old has carved out a sizable role in Utah's rotation for the foreseeable future.
