BISMACK BIYOMBO NEWS

Grabs eight boards Biyombo provided six points (3-4 FG, 0-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 122-111 loss to the Lakers.

Impact Biyombo made his second straight start in place of Deandre Ayton (hip), but he was again unable to match Ayton's level of offensive production. Biyombo is averaging just 6.5 points in the two-game span, though he's done okay on the boards with 7.0 rebounds per contest. The one area in which Biyombo can outshine Ayton is blocks -- Biyombo has five swats over his past two games, as many as Ayton has in his past six contests combined.

Will start Sunday Biyombo will start Sunday's game against the Thunder.

Impact Biyombo will get the spot start with Deandre Ayton (groin) out. Across nine starts this season, the veteran back has averaged 7.0 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.4 blocks and 1.1 assists in 23.4 minutes.

MARCH 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back in rotation Thursday Biyombo provided four points (2-2 FG), four rebounds, two assists and one steal over 12 minutes during Thursday's 116-107 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Biyombo saw a few extra minutes in the loss as the Suns attempted to combat the size of the Clippers' frontcourt. Despite featuring in the rotation on most nights, Biyombo has been a non-factor in terms of fantasy production. He is outside the top 300 in standard formats and should be considered only when Deandre Ayton misses time.

Not starting Thursday Biyombo will return to the second unit for Thursday's meeting with Dallas.

Impact Biyombo logged three straight starts with Deandre Ayton (illness) sidelined and averaged 7.3 points, 9.3 rebounds and 3.0 blocks across 25.7 minutes. However, with Ayton healthy, Biyombo will return to the bench. In 30 bench appearances, Biyombo has averaged 3.0 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.1 blocks over 11.8 minutes.

Swats away five shots Biyombo chipped in six points (3-6 FG), nine rebounds, five blocks and four assists over 31 minutes during Tuesday's 128-97 victory over the Hornets.

Impact Biyombo was efficient with limited chances on the offensive end, but his big contributions came on the defensive end. He ripped down eight defensive rebounds and tallied a season-high five blocks. Biyombo is averaging 7.3 points, 9.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 3.0 blocks across three straight starts in the absence of Deandre Ayton (illness).

Pulls down 16 rebounds as starter Biyombo produced 12 points (6-12 FG, 0-3 FT), 16 rebounds, three blocks and two assists across 30 minutes during Saturday's 112-107 win over the Pacers.

Impact BIyombo did some damage to fantasy managers' free-throw percentage, but he otherwise proved to be a strong option for those that streamed him with Deandre Ayton (illness) sitting out. The points and rebounds totals represented new season highs for Biyombo, who could retain some value if Ayton remains sidelined for the back end of the back-to-back set Sunday against the Grizzlies.

JANUARY 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starting against Indiana Biyombo is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Pacers.

Impact Biyombo gets the starting nod with Deandre Ayton (illness) ruled out. The veteran big man is averaging 6.8 points and 5.2 rebounds per game in six starts this season.

JANUARY 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Barely in rotation Friday Biyombo ended Friday's 121-116 loss to the Timberwolves with zero points (0-1 FG), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in six minutes.

Impact Biyombo moved back to the bench with Deandre Ayton returning to action Friday, and the former barely saw the floor in the loss. While Biyombo can have some very limited streaming appeal any time Ayton is out, his role on most nights is simply too insignificant to warrant any attention, even in deeper fantasy formats.

JANUARY 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to bench Biyombo isn't in the starting lineup for Friday's game versus the Timberwolves.

Impact Deandre Ayton will replace Biyombo in the starting lineup after missing the previous two games with an ankle injury. Biyombo will likely play between 10-15 minutes off the bench Friday.

JANUARY 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Wednesday Biyombo will enter the first unit for Wednesday's tilt against the Nuggets.

Impact Biyombo will receive a second consecutive start with Deandre Ayton (ankle) sidelined. In five starts this season, Biyombo has averaged 7.4 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.6 blocks across 23.7 minutes.

JANUARY 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Without injury designation Biyombo (knee) isn't on the injury report for Wednesday's matchup with the Wizards.

Impact Biyombo is available for Wednesday's game after Suns coach Monty Williams said he would likely play. The veteran big man is averaging 4.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.4 blocks and 1.2 assists in 16.6 minutes across five games this season.

DECEMBER 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to play Wednesday Suns coach Monty Williams said Biyombo (knee) should be good to for Wednesday's matchup with the Wizards but will watch him closely, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Impact Biyombo is expected to play Wednesday after initially being deemed questionable with right knee soreness. He will likely compete with Jock Landale for backup center minutes if he's able to suit up against the Wizards.

DECEMBER 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable Wednesday Biyombo is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Wizards due to right knee soreness, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.

Impact Biyombo appeared in the last eight games and averaged 5.6 points and 5.0 rebounds in 19.3 minutes per game, but he's dealing with a knee issue following Tuesday's win over Memphis. If he's unavailable Wednesday, Jock Landale, Torrey Craig and Dario Saric are candidates to see increased playing time.

DECEMBER 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Swats four shots in loss Biyombo chipped in six points (3-3 FG, 0-3 FT), four rebounds, two assists, four blocks and two steals across 21 minutes during Friday's 125-100 loss to Memphis.

Impact Biyombo saw 21 minutes of court time, significantly more than his season average. That was partly due to Deandre Ayton getting into foul trouble, though the blowout nature of the contest also played a role. Biyombo made the most of his opportunity, especially on the defensive end, where he blocked four shots and nabbed two thefts. He's swatted multiple shots in three of his past six games.

DECEMBER 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Back to bench Biyombo isn't starting Monday's game against the Lakers, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Impact Biyombo started his team's last two contests while Deandre Ayton recovered from an ankle injury, but he'll head back to the bench with Ayton returning to play. Biyombo is averaging 3.3 points and 1.1 blocks in his last seven appearances off the bench.

DECEMBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Draws start Thursday Biyombo will start Thursday against the Clippers.

Impact Biyombo will start his third game of the season Thursday, with Deandre Ayton (ankle) ruled out. As a starter, Biyombo is averaging 6.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4.5 blocks through two games so far. Expect Biyombo and Jack Landale to see an uptick in minutes against the Clippers.

DECEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Blocks three shots in loss Biyombo registered seven points (3-3 FG, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists and three blocks in 22 minutes during Tuesday's 111-97 loss to the Rockets.

Impact Biyombo saw additional playing time in the loss, something that could carry over to the next game should Deandre Ayton be unable to recover from an ankle injury. As we saw earlier in the season, Biyombo would likely slide into the starting lineup should Ayton miss time, meaning he can be added as a short-term asset for anyone needing blocks and boards.

Grabs 10 rebounds Sunday Biyombo posted five points (2-6 FG, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and one block in 21 minutes during Sunday's 116-95 victory over the Knicks.

Impact With Phoenix having a commanding lead, Biyombo played the entire fourth quarter and grabbed eight of his 10 rebounds. The 30-year-old has played sparingly of late, and Sunday was his first time playing more than 14 minutes since Nov. 1. For the year, he's averaging 3.7 rebounds in 12.6 minutes per game, both career lows.

Double-doubles off bench in win Biyombo racked up 11 points (5-7 FG, 1-2 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 23 minutes during Friday's 124-111 win over New Orleans.

Impact Firmly entrenched as one of Deandre Ayton's backups alongside Jock Landale, Biyombo has to make the most of his minutes to have any relevance in fantasy and that was exactly what happened Friday -- he was efficient as a scorer, active on the glass and also provided decent numbers both as a passer and on defense, at least for his standards. That said, Biyombo played seven minutes in the season opener and didn't see the court in any of Phoenix's previous three games before Friday, so all signs point to this performance being an outlier rather than the norm going forward.
