Phoenix Suns forward Rasheer Fleming had a productive performance off the bench in Tuesday's 115-111 loss to the Orlando Magic, scoring 11 points on 4-of-9 shooting in just 16 minutes of action. This was Fleming's fourth double-digit scoring game in March, though his limited role makes it difficult to project consistent fantasy production from the second-year pro.

Why it matters

Fleming's ability to provide scoring punch in limited minutes is a positive sign for the Suns, who have dealt with injuries to key players this season. However, his inconsistent playing time makes him a risky fantasy option, as he often plays under 25 minutes per game in a reserve role.

The details

Fleming made the most of his 16 minutes on the court, converting 4-of-9 field goals, including 1-of-5 from three-point range, and 2-of-4 free throws. He also grabbed four rebounds. This was Fleming's fourth double-digit scoring performance in March, though he has struggled to find a consistent role in the Suns' rotation.

What they’re saying

“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.”

The takeaway

Rasheer Fleming's ability to provide scoring punch in limited minutes is a positive sign for the Suns, but his inconsistent playing time makes him a risky fantasy option. The Suns will need to find ways to get Fleming more consistent minutes if they want to maximize his production and help offset the team's injury issues.
