McGee registered 15 points (7-13 FG, 1-1 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 18 minutes during Tuesday's 114-109 win over the 76ers.
EDGE Analysis
McGee notched his eighth double-double of the campaign and his fourth as a reserve. Over his last four games, the veteran center has averaged 12.3 points, 8.0 rebounds and 2.3 blocks in just 17.5 minutes per game. This level of production is likely unsustainable in the long run, but he's certainly worthy of fantasy consideration, especially if Deandre Ayton is forced to miss any time.

McGee tallied 16 points (7-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds and three blocks across 22 minutes Monday in the Suns' 127-124 win over the Bulls.
EDGE Analysis
McGee's three-pointer was just his second of the season, bringing some unexpected value to an already strong stat line. Though Deandre Ayton has returned from a recent seven-game absence due to an ankle injury, McGee looks secure as his top backup, despite Bismack Biyombo having delivered a string of solid outings to close January. Biyombo played just one minute Monday and hasn't seen more than 10 minutes in any of the four games since Ayton returned.

McGee scored six points (3-5 FG) while adding 10 rebounds, three blocks, one assist and one steal in 14 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 95-80 win over the Wizards.
EDGE Analysis
With Deandre Ayton playing only 24 minutes in a game the Suns led by 27 at halftime, McGee was able to take full advantage of his opportunities, recording double-digit boards for the ninth time this season. The 34-year-old's production has been impressive this season on a per-minute basis, but he didn't see a significant increase in his workload even when Ayton was sidelined by an ankle injury in January, so McGee's fantasy utility is usually limited to being a bargain option for rounding out a DFS roster.

McGee isn't starting Sunday's game against the Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
McGee will be available following a two-game absence due to a knee injury. However, Bismack Biyombo will remain in the starting lineup for a third consecutive game since Deandre Ayton (ankle) remains sidelined. McGee is averaging 9.3 points and 6.4 rebounds in 13.9 minutes per game when coming off the bench this season.

McGee (knee) will be available for Sunday's game against the Spurs, Duane Rankin of AZCentral.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
After missing the last two games, McGee will be back to availability and could find himself in the starting five with Deandre Ayton (ankle) expected to miss another contest. In four previous starts this month, McGee averaged 8.3 points, 8.3 rebounds and 1.5 blocks in 19.0 minutes.

McGee (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Spurs, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
McGee has been unavailable for each of the last two games due to a sore left knee. If he remains out Sunday, Bismack Biyombo and Jalen Smith should continue to handle increased roles.

McGee (knee) will remain out for Friday's game against Minnesota, Gerald Bourguet of PHNX Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Suns have virtually the same injury report as Wednesday's game against Utah, so they'll be without McGee, Deandre Ayton (ankle) and Jae Crowder (wrist). As a result, expect Bismack Biyombo and Jalen Smith to once again mop up most of the minutes at center.

McGee has been ruled out of Wednesday's game against the Jazz due to a sore left knee, Duane Rankin of AZCentral.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's very possible the Suns are just building in some rest for the veteran big man, who's started the last four games with Deandre Ayton (ankle) sidelined. Ayton will also remain out Wednesday, so Bismack Biyombo and Jalen Smith figure to handle all of the minutes at center.

McGee is starting Monday's game against the Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
McGee will get a chance with the starting unit due to Deandre Ayton's (ankle) absence. The Nevada product found success in his last start Dec. 29 against Oklahoma City, ending his night with 16 points, eight rebounds and two blocks in 23 minutes.

McGee produced 20 points (9-10 FG, 2-4 FT), six rebounds and one block in 15 minutes during Sunday's 135-108 win over the Pistons.
EDGE Analysis
McGee saw additional time after Deandre Ayton (ankle) exited with an injury. It was good news for the Flint native, who had several friends and family in attendance. There's currently no word on the severity of Ayton's injury, but McGee would be the first man up against the Spurs Monday night if Ayton cannot go.
