Mon Mar 416:01Royce O'Neale Trending Up, Starts For Devin Booker
Phoenix Suns forward Royce O'Neale played 33 minutes in Sunday's 118-110 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, gathering nine points on 3-for-10 shooting, four assists, three rebounds, three three-pointers, and two blocks. Starting in place of the injured Devin Booker (ankle), O'Neale delivered the low-end goods fantasy managers have grown accustomed to over the veteran swingman's career. With Phoenix expecting Booker to miss at least the next week of play, O'Neale is someone nine-category managers should be prioritizing on waiver wires ahead of Tuesday's showdown against the Denver Nuggets. Across nine starts during 2023-24, the 30-year-old three-and-D wing is averaging 10.0 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 3.1 triples, and 2.4 combined steals plus blocks but faces a difficult task against a Nuggets squad that's surrendering the fewest fantasy points to opposing small forwards.

Thu Feb 2920:40Royce O'Neale Draws Another Start
Phoenix Suns guard/forward Royce O'Neale will slide into the starting five ahead of Thursday's game against the Houston Rockets. The Suns are in need of help with Bradley Beal (hamstring) and Eric Gordon (groin) both sidelined. O'Neale contributed 20 points, 10 rebounds, four assists, and two steals during Sunday's game. It's hard to imagine him having the same type of performance again. However, fantasy managers should expect at least a fairly decent game from O'Neale considering the Suns are banged up. Fantasy managers should go ahead and take a chance on O'Neale if they need help for Thursday's slate.

Thu Feb 820:29Royce O'Neale Traded To Phoenix
According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, the Suns, Grizzlies, and Nets completed a three-team trade ahead of Thursday's deadline. Notably, Brooklyn will send forward Royce O'Neale to Phoenix. The 30-year-old has played for two teams throughout his career, the Jazz and Nets. He's averaged 6.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 2.4 assists while shooting 38.1% from deep. O'Neale has been a top trade target for many teams around the National Basketball Association for a while now, so the move shouldn't surprise anyone. Although he likely won't be a routine fantasy contributor, he'll provide Phoenix with much-needed depth. That said, O'Neale will probably start here or there moving ahead, meaning there should be some streaming opportunities for fantasy managers.

Mon Feb 520:41Dorian Finney-Smith, Royce O'Neale Could Be On The Move
Brooklyn Nets forwards Dorian Finney-Smith and Royce O'Neale are two of three players seemingly on the trade block ahead of the NBA's trade deadline on February 8. According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, the Nets are listening to offers on both of their veteran forwards and Spencer Dinwiddie. They're expected to look for deals on just these three vets while the rest of the roster is expected to stay in Brooklyn at least until this offseason. Finney-Smith and O'Neale are two prototypical 3-and-D wings that many playoff contenders could use. It's unclear right now what the Nets are expecting in return and whether or not it would be a package of picks plus younger players or one of the two.

Sat Dec 2 202308:50Royce O'Neale Back On Saturday
Brooklyn Nets guard/forward Royce O'Neale (hip) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Saturday's encounter with Orlando. After sitting out one game, the 30-year-old appears ready to return to the lineup. O'Neale had a couple of outstanding scoring outings before suffering a hip contusion, putting up 38 total points in meetings with Chicago and Toronto. He has averaged a versatile line, mainly as a bench player in 2023-24, logging 8.5 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 3.2 assists in 29.9 minutes. The Magic have impressed with their defense, and it's tough to score against them, so O'Neale's habit of doing a little bit of everything should help him be effective in Saturday's matchup.

Mon Jul 10 202318:37Royce O'Neale Gets Guaranteed Contract
Brooklyn Nets forward Royce O'Neale had his contract guaranteed by the organization on Monday. The 30-year-old is set to make $9.5 million for the upcoming 2023-2024 campaign. O'Neale gives the Nets another versatile playmaker and reliable defender on the perimeter. The expectation is that Mikal Bridges and Cameron Johnson are going to start on the wings. That means, O'Neale will likely come off the bench, but he could still contribute at a decent level with the second unit. He averaged 8.8 points, 5.1 rebounds and 3.7 assists in 31.7 minutes last season. His fantasy value is going to be dependent on what kind of role he can secure this next season.

Brooklyn Nets forward Royce O'Neale (knee) is questionable ahead of Sunday's meeting in Orlando. He logged 27 minutes on Saturday evening against the Miami Heat, finishing with eight points, two blocks, and one steal. However, the 29-year-old has a sore left knee and may sit this one out. If that's the case, Dorian Finney-Smith should see additional minutes, so he's worth a look for those needing a streaming option.

Brooklyn Nets forward Royce O'Neale (knee) will sit Thursday's game versus the Milwaukee Bucks.

Cam Thomas and Yuta Watanabe should re-enter the rotation on Thursday with the lengthy injury report.

Kyrie Irving's Season Recap

Irving got suspended for an antisemitic social media post, keeping him out of the lineup for eight games. But since then, the 30-year-old stayed out of the limelight, so most had assumed he finally turned things around. He's played well all season, averaging 27.1 points, 5.3 assists, 5.1 rebounds, and 1.0 steals in 40 appearances.https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1622324668047794177?s=20&t=NTffJ2tRvNpjAA7bddjYHQHe was also selected to the All-Star team for the eighth time in his career.

Wed Jan 4 202319:25Royce O'Neale To Start On Wednesday
Brooklyn Nets forward Royce O'Neale (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against the New York Knicks. O'Neale is back in the starting five after missing Monday's game due to a non-COVID related illness. His return will shift Seth Curry to the second unit, which means his fantasy value is going to take a significant hit. The expectation is that O'Neale will have his normal role, so Curry isn't going to be a favorable streaming option right now.

Thu Jun 30 202215:14Royce O'Neale Headed To Brooklyn
The Utah Jazz have agreed to a trade that will send forward Royce O'Neale to the Brooklyn Nets in exchange for the team's 2023 first-round pick. It's been an eventful day for the Nets front office. It was also reported on Thursday that Kevin Durant had requested a trade and that the Nets had made their entire roster available for trades. The Jazz appear to have come out as big winners in this deal, despite losing the veteran presence of O'Neale. With Durant headed out of Brooklyn, the Nets' 2023 first-rounder could wind up being a lottery pick, and a potentially high one as well.

The Brooklyn Nets have expressed interest in trading for Utah Jazz forward Royce O'Neale, according to sources of SNY.

He currently has two years left on his contract, including the upcoming season. He's due to make a little over $9 million this year. The former Baylor Bear has spent each of his five NBA seasons with the Jazz. Last year, he played 31.2 minutes per game and averaged 7.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 1.5 three-pointers per game.

Utah Jazz forward Royce O'Neale (thumb) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He was held out of Wednesday's game due to right thumb soreness. However, it sounds like O'Neale is feeling good enough to suit up on Friday. His return should mean Danuel House Jr. should take a significant hit in value. Fantasy managers who streamed him House on Wednesday should feel safe placing him on the waiver wire.

Wed Apr 6 202219:27Royce O'Neale Will Miss Wednesday’s Game
Utah Jazz power forward Royce O'Neale (thumb) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against Oklahoma City due to a sore right thumb. O'Neale will join teammates Donovan Mitchell (rest) and Mike Conley (rest) on the sidelines, paving the way for Rudy Gay, Eric Paschall, and Danuel House Jr. to all enjoy elevated roles on the wing. Known for his defensive acumen, O'Neale has been a scarce fantasy contributor, particularly while shooting 23.9% over his last eight games. The ailment marks O'Neale's first absence since Jan. 24, with his next chance to suit up coming Friday vs. the Suns.

Utah Jazz forward Royce O'Neale (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Phoenix Suns. He is dealing with knee tendonitis, so he'll sit out the second game of the back-to-back set. The Jazz are missing a majority of their starters for this contest. Fantasy managers should expect Rudy Gay and Eric Paschall to play significant minutes during Monday's game. Both have some streaming appeal, but Gay offers slightly more upside.

Mon Nov 29 202120:12Royce O'Neale Will Miss Second Straight Outing
Utah Jazz power forward Royce O'Neale (foot/ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Portland, his second consecutive absence due to a sprained right foot/ankle. Joe Ingles shifted into the starting five in place of O'Neale on Saturday, while Rudy Gay received 23 minutes off the bench; both players stand to see elevated DFS roles for as long as O'Neale is unavailable. When healthy, the 28-year-old is on pace to average a new career best in scoring with 7.6 points per contest, fueled by a career-high 6.1 field-goal attempts on a nightly basis. His next chance to take the floor comes Friday vs. the Celtics.

Sun Nov 28 202120:38Royce O'Neale Questionable For Monday
Utah Jazz forward Royce O'Neale (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He suffered both a right ankle injury and foot sprain during Wednesday's contest. O'Neale was able to play on Friday, but is clearly still bothered by the injury. The Jazz are likely going to wait until possibly pregame warmups before making a final decision on O'Neale. Joe Ingles would likely be asked to start and would have some streaming appeal and DFS value in the starting five.

Sat Nov 27 202120:23Royce O'Neale Will Miss Saturday’s Contest
Utah Jazz power forward Royce O'Neale (foot/ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against New Orleans due to a sprained right foot/ankle. O'Neale's absence will be his first of the year, opening the door for Rudy Gay and Eric Paschall to see elevated minutes totals. How Utah replaces O'Neale's defensive contributions remains to be seen, but Bojan Bogdanovic could be involved beyond the arc more as well. Known for contributions across the stat sheet, O'Neale is a fringe season-long fantasy asset when healthy primarily due to attempting just 6.1 field goals per outing. His next chance at suiting up comes Monday vs. the Trail Blazers.

Sat Nov 6 202118:40Donovan Mitchell, Royce O'Neale Cleared To Play Saturday
Utah Jazz point/shooting guard Donovan Mitchell (ankle) and power forward Royce O'Neale (ankle) have both been given the green light to suit up for Saturday's contest against the Heat. Mitchell returns after a one-game absence, which will bump Joe Ingles back to his usual second-unit role. O'Neale is yet to be sidelined this season, although he is dealing with an ankle ailment of his own. Both players are tasked with cracking the code of the Heat defense, which enters the day as the top unit in the league, allowing just 98.4 points per game.
