Suns' Eric Gordon: Not playing Saturday
Rotowire
Gordon (knee) won't play Saturday against the Grizzlies, Kevin Zimmerman of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Gordon was listed as questionable early on Saturday due to the knee injury, and he'll end up missing his second game of the season. This will make the team's depth on offense even thinner, as Bradley Beal (back) is out and Devin Booker (ankle) will be a game-time decision. Thus, players such as Jordan Goodwin and Saben Lee could be in line for increased roles.

Suns' Eric Gordon: Shines offensively against New York
Rotowire
Gordon finished with 25 points (9-13 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one block in 33 minutes during Sunday's 116-113 victory over the Knicks.
Gordon made the most of his expanded role on offense with Kevin Durant (foot) and Bradley Beal (back) out, and he has reached the 20-point mark in three of his last five appearances. The veteran sharpshooter will eventually regress to a complementary role once the Suns are at full strength, but he's benefiting from an uptick in usage rate of late. He's averaging 16.7 points while attempting 11.7 shots per game over his last seven appearances.

Suns' Eric Gordon: Drains four threes Friday
Rotowire
Gordon closed Friday's 110-89 win over the Grizzlies with 20 points (6-15 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound and two assists across 34 minutes.
Gordon is expected to have a secondary role in an offense led by two of the game's biggest stars, Kevin Durant (foot) and Devin Booker, but he's finding ways to make an impact with his elite shooting ability. The veteran has drained multiple threes while scoring in double digits in each of his last seven contests, and his scoring prowess, as well as his presence in the stating lineup while Bradley Beal (back) is out, has helped him stay relevant in most fantasy formats.

Gordon missed his first game of the season Sunday, but it sounds like his shoulder is improving. The Suns are also expecting Devin Booker (calf) and Bradley Beal (back) to play, as both are carrying probable tags. With the Suns getting healthier, Gordon's usage and minutes will likely trend down.

Suns' Eric Gordon: Questionable for Sunday
Rotowire
Gordon is questionable for Sunday's game versus Oklahoma City due to left shoulder soreness, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
The 34-year-old guard hasn't missed a game this season, but he could be in jeopardy of sitting out the second game of the Suns' three-game homestand. Devin Booker (calf) is listed as doubtful for Sunday, so if both he and Gordon are sidelined, the Suns could be a bit shorthanded in the backcourt.

Suns' Eric Gordon: Struggles in Beal's debut
Rotowire
Gordon notched two points (1-9 FG, 0-8 3Pt), one rebound and two assists across 25 minutes during Wednesday's 116-115 overtime win over the Bulls.
Gordon has started five of his eight appearances this season but came off the bench Wednesday in Bradley Beal's team debut after missing the start of the year with a back injury. It was a cold shooting performance from Gordon, but the good news is that he still played 25 minutes and launched eight threes. What his role will look like when Devin Booker (calf) returns remains to be seen. Gordon will likely turn into a deep-league fantasy streamer when Booker, Beal and Kevin Durant are all healthy.

Suns' Eric Gordon: Dazzles in starting role
Rotowire
Gordon produced 21 points (8-14 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, eight assists and one steal over 31 minutes during Sunday's 120-106 victory over the Pistons.
Gordon has been trusted into a larger role than initially expected given the injury woes of both Devin Booker (calf) and Bradley Beal (back), but the veteran has responded well and has delivered when called upon duty. There's no question Kevin Durant has been the Suns' main scoring weapon across the first two weeks of the season, and that is not going to change any time soon, but Gordon will remain valuable -- regardless of the format -- as long as he stays in the starting lineup. Gordon is averaging 18.0 points per game through five starts.

Gordon will come off the bench for Thursday's game against the Spurs, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Rotowire
Gordon amassed 21 points (9-14 FG, 3-7 3Pt), two rebounds, four assists and one steal across 26 minutes during Saturday's 126-104 victory over the Jazz.
Gordon scored all 21 of his points in the first half while shooting 75 percent from the floor to help the Suns race out to a 16-point lead heading into halftime. He wasn't as involved in the second half as the team stretched their lead to 28 heading into the final frame. Gordon has started the last two games with Devin Booker sitting out with a foot injury, and the former will continue to benefit from a usage perspective as long as the latter remains out.
