Slides out of rotation Biyombo played one minute and 12 seconds in Monday's 127-124 win over the Bulls, missing his only field-goal attempt and recording no other statistics. Impact Though the Bulls were able to make the final score respectable thanks to a rally late in the fourth quarter, Biyombo was still able to pick up what amounted to garbage-time run while the Suns were resting key rotation pieces. After Biyombo put himself on the fantasy radar with averages of 14.1 points, 10.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.9 blocks and 0.7 steals in 27.7 minutes per game over the Suns' final seven contests of January, any value he held has disappeared entirely since Deandre Ayton overcome an ankle injury. With Ayton starting in each of the team's first four games of February, JaVale McGee has settled in as the clear top backup at center, while Biyombo has played just 17 minutes in total during that same four-game stretch.
