Jones supplied 17 points (7-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt), two rebounds, four assists and one steal over 26 minutes during Sunday's 109-98 loss to the Kings.
Jones was one of the role players who posted a solid line in this regular-season finale. The veteran floor general showed he can be a regular starter throughout the season. Still, he was mostly limited to a bench status once the Big Three of Bradley Beal (rest), Devin Booker (calf) and Kevin Durant (ankle) was healthy. Jones averaged 10.2 points, 5.3 assists and 2.4 rebounds per game in 81 appearances (58 starts).

Suns' Ryan Dunn: Double-doubles Sunday
Rotowire
Dunn produced 12 points (5-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt), 10 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 30 minutes during Sunday's 109-98 loss to the Kings.
Dunn finished his rookie year with another impactful performance. Even though most of his contributions aren't noticeable on the stat sheet, which limited his fantasy upside considerably throughout the campaign, Dunn was a reliable option for the Suns all season long despite being a rookie. The former Virginia star averaged 6.9 points, 3.6 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.6 blocks across 19.1 minutes per game in 74 appearances (44 starts) in his first year in the league. Dunn figures to have a long-term role with the Suns, but his defensive impact will rarely be a game-changer from a fantasy perspective.

Rotowire
Allen closed Sunday's 109-98 loss to the Kings with 20 points (8-13 FG, 4-7 3Pt), two rebounds and five assists in 28 minutes.
Allen started in the Suns' final three games of what can only be considered as a lost season, but the former Duke standout spent most of the campaign in a bench role while cracking the first unit at times. Allen finished his seventh year in the league -- and second with the Suns -- averaging 10.6 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game across 64 appearances (seven starts).
Micic (coach's decision) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Kings, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Micic will miss a fifth straight game for the Suns on Sunday. The 30-year-old guard played in 41 games at the NBA level this season, averaging 6.6 points, 2.2 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game, shooting 34.8 percent from the floor and 36.0 percent from beyond the arc.
Gillespie is in the Suns' starting lineup against the Kings on Sunday.
Gillespie will make his ninth start of the season Sunday due to the absences of Devin Booker (calf), Bradley Beal (rest) and Kevin Durant (ankle). As a starter, Gillespie has averaged 9.3 points, 4.3 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 0.8 steals over 23.6 minutes per game.
