Sees 24 minutes off bench
Gillespie registered nine points (3-11 FG, 3-8 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 24 minutes during Sunday's 120-110 victory over the Bulls.
Analysis
After starting in 55 straight appearances, Gillespie was demoted to a bench role Sunday with Jordan Goodwin getting the starting nod. The two players ended up logging 24 minutes apiece, suggesting that this could potentially become a timeshare. This will be a position battle to monitor closely.

Not starting Sunday
Gillespie won't start Sunday's game against the Bulls, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Analysis
The Suns are switching up the starting lineup, with Jordan Goodwin replacing Gillespie and Mark Williams taking his spot back from Oso Ighodaro. Gillespie has started 55 straight appearances and should still be a major part of the rotation, despite shifting to a bench role. As a reserve (19 games), Gillespie has averaged 11.6 points, 4.8 assists, 3.9 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 25.5 minutes a night.

Scores 11 points in loss
Gillespie racked up 11 points (4-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, three assists and two steals in 27 minutes during Tuesday's 115-111 loss to Orlando.
Analysis
Even though he remains a player with decent fantasy upside due to the tight grip he has on a starting role, it's worth noting he's been trending in the wrong direction for a while now. Gillespie might have scored in double digits in seven of his last eight games, but over that stretch, he's averaging 12.9 points, 3.4 rebounds and 5.4 assists per contest while shooting 38.5 percent from the floor and 34.8 percent from three-point range.

Collects rare double-double
Gillespie amassed 11 points (4-16 FG, 3-11 3Pt), five rebounds and 10 assists across 32 minutes during Monday's 131-105 victory over the Grizzlies.
Analysis
Gillespie once again struggled to find his rhythm on the offensive end, as he's now 4-for-24 from the field over his last two games. However, he managed to make up for his shooting woes by dishing out double-digit assists for the third time in 74 appearances this season. Gillespie has scored in double figures in six of his last seven showings, and he should continue to receive plenty of chances to turn things around amidst this brief offensive skid.
