Oso Ighodaro

Ighodaro delivered 17 points (7-9 FG), seven rebounds, two steals and three blocks off the bench in Thursday’s win over the Pacers. While Nick Richards drew the start in place of Mark Williams (rest), it was Ighodaro who made the bigger impact in the frontcourt.

Fantasy Impact

Williams is expected back for Phoenix’s next game, which will likely return Ighodaro to a reduced role. However, with the Suns set for another back-to-back on Nov. 28–29, Ighodaro could resurface as a worthwhile streaming option when Williams sits again.

Oso Ighodaro will be available for Wednesday's season opener against the Kings, according to Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com.

Fantasy Impact

Ighodaro was among several key players held out of the preseason finale for rest but is cleared to return to the floor. With Phoenix beginning the year with a fully healthy frontcourt, the 2024 second-round pick might find himself outside the rotation.

Oso Ighodaro totaled six points (3-4 FG), four rebounds, two assists, two steals, and one block in the Suns' 124-109 loss to the Timberwolves.

Fantasy Impact

Ighodaro provided strong all-around production in limited minutes, showcasing versatility on both ends. He’s a name to monitor in dynasty and deep-league formats if he begins seeing consistent court time.

Oso Ighodaro notched nine points (4-of-6 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, one steal, and one block in 26 minutes during Monday’s game against Toronto, stepping up as Phoenix’s backup center.

Fantasy Impact

Ighodaro’s recent run as the Suns’ reserve big—averaging 8.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.5 steals, and 1.5 blocks over four games in 27.5 minutes with 77.8% FG and 80% FT—outshone starter Nick Richards’ 12-minute stint, hinting at growing opportunities. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues can keep him on watchlists for Week 20, though his multi-category uptick doesn’t yet demand a roster spot.

Oso Ighodaro totaled eight points (4-4 FG), six rebounds, and four blocks in the Suns’ 111-104 loss to the Rockets.

Fantasy Impact

Ighodaro made his presence felt in this one, contributing on both ends of the floor in limited minutes. His game log suggests that whenever he’s given an extended run, he produces respectable stat lines, but Phoenix’s rotation has been anything but predictable when it comes to their centers. Unless Richards misses extended time, Ighodaro remains a speculative deep-league flier at best. While his upside is intriguing, there is little assurance that he’ll see enough time to warrant consistent fantasy consideration. The Kings game should provide another opportunity to evaluate his late-season potential.
