Falls out of rotation
Fleming (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Sunday in the Suns' 120-110 win over the Bulls.
Analyse
With head coach Jordan Ott electing to reduce his rotation to nine men Sunday, Fleming ended up being the odd man out. The rookie second-round pick had appeared in each of the Suns' previous 20 games, averaging 6.8 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.4 three-pointers in 18.9 minutes while shooting 45.4 percent from the field. He'll likely find playing time difficult to come by moving forward now that Phoenix is at close to full strength.

Productive in limited minutes
Fleming chipped in 11 points (4-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT) and four rebounds in 16 minutes during Tuesday's 115-111 loss to Orlando.
Analyse
Fleming made the most of his limited playing time, as it was the first time he scored in double digits while playing fewer than 20 minutes. Even though all four of Fleming's double-digit scoring performances came in March, it's hard to trust him since he regularly comes off the bench and often plays under 25 minutes. With that kind of role, projecting Fleming to contribute steadily in fantasy is a tough task, especially with Dillon Brooks (hand) back in action and Mark Williams (foot) getting closer to a return.
