Suns' Nassir Little: Scores in double figures again
Rotowire
Little finished with 10 points (4-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two steals across 27 minutes during Wednesday's 123-115 victory over Golden State.
Little didn't see much playing time over the first half of November, but he's seen an uptick in usage recently, playing at least 20 minutes in three consecutive appearances.

Suns' Nassir Little: Plays 11 minutes off bench
Rotowire
Little registered five points (2-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), one rebound and one assist across 11 minutes during Friday's 131-128 victory over the Jazz.
Little has been on the fringes of the Suns' rotation this season, but he saw an uptick in playing time during Friday's matchup. However, he wasn't very productive and is unlikely to have much fantasy relevance as long as the Suns remain relatively healthy.

Suns' Nassir Little: Headed to Phoenix
Rotowire
Little (core) was traded to the Suns on Wednesday as part of a three-team deal between Phoenix, Portland and Milwaukee, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. The deal also sends Damian Lillard to Milwaukee, Jusuf Nurkic to the Suns, and Jrue Holiday and Deandre Ayton to Portland.
Little, Keon Johnson and Grayson Allen all head to Phoenix in the blockbuster deal and will likely compete for depth roles on a top-heavy Suns squad. Little is a proven defender at the NBA level, but his offense has been a mystery. After a career-high year in 2021-22, Little took a step back in 2022-23 from a production standpoint, but he did shoot a career-high 36.7 percent on 2.9 three-point attempts per game. If he can maintain that efficiency from long range, Little could emerge as a quality three-and-D player for Phoenix.

Trail Blazers' Nassir Little: Listed out once again
Rotowire
Little (ankle) is listed as out for Saturday against the Clippers.
This will be the fourth missed game in a row for Little, and we wouldn't be surprised to see him miss Sunday's season finale against the Warriors as well. The Blazers will continue to field a skeleton crew in the meantime.

Trail Blazers' Nassir Little: Suffers left ankle injury
Rotowire
Little won't return to Friday's game against the Kings due to a left ankle injury.
Little played just 12 minutes before going down with the injury, finishing with seven points (2-4 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound and one steal. Following a two-game run in the starting five, Little had returned to the bench Friday with Trendon Watford (ankle) back in action. Watford's return coupled with the fact that Little is now dealing with an injury of his own may make it difficult for Little to deliver meaningful fantasy output over Portland's final five games of the campaign.

Trail Blazers' Nassir Little: Starting Monday
Rotowire
Little will move into the starting lineup for Monday's matchup with the Pelicans, Danny Marang of 1080 The Fan Portland reports.
Trendon Watford will be sitting out Monday's game after tweaking his ankle Sunday, so Little will replace him in the first unit and should have plenty of time to shine for a Portland team that is resting most of its main guys. He's coming off a 28-point performance, so Little could be someone to consider as a streamer or low-budget option in daily fantasy leagues.

Trail Blazers' Nassir Little: Cleared to play vs. Clips
Rotowire
Little (illness) has been cleared to play in Sunday's game against the Clippers.
Little was held out of Friday's loss to the Celtics, but he'll be back in action and should be set for his usual allotment of minutes -- 17.7 MPG over last 10 games -- off the bench. The 2019 first-round pick hasn't been fantasy relevant in most leagues this season.
