Reverting to bench role
Dunn won't start Tuesday's Play-In Tournament game against Portland, Hayden Cilley of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Analysis
Dunn got the spot start in Sunday's regular-season finale but will retreat to the bench Tuesday. The second-year forward isn't guaranteed significant playing time but could pick up a few extra minutes due to Grayson Allen (hamstring) being out.

Double-double in win
Dunn totaled 20 points (8-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists and one block over 25 minutes during Sunday's 135-103 victory over the Thunder.
Analysis
Dunn exploded in his second straight start, scoring a season-best 20 points in a blowout road victory. He'll close the regular season averaging 5.8 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 19.4 minutes across 70 appearances (16 starts). Despite the strong showing Sunday, Dunn is likely to see a decrease in playing time in Tuesday's Play-In Tournament matchup against the Trail Blazers or beyond if the Suns advance deeper into the postseason.

Moved into starting lineup
Dunn is in the Suns' starting lineup against the Lakers on Friday.
Analysis
Dunn has seen his playing time fluctuate as of late, but he'll make his 15th start of the season due to the absence of Haywood Highsmith (knee). Dunn's last start took place Feb. 26 against the Lakers, when he played 26 minutes and finished with 10 points, four rebounds, one assist and one steal in a 113-110 win.
