According to the NBA's official injury report, Goodwin is dealing with a right calf injury and is listed as doubtful. Fleming has a left ankle sprain and carries a questionable designation. Williams remains out following surgery on his left shoulder.
Goodwin has missed Phoenix's previous two games after suffering the calf injury during Monday's loss to the Golden State Warriors. His absence leaves the Suns without an important defensive option in their backcourt. The guard's versatility and ability to defend multiple positions have made him a valuable piece of the rotation.
Fleming also missed the last two games after hurting his ankle during practice on Tuesday. His potential return could give Phoenix another option on the wing, although he has yet to establish a regular role in the rotation this season.
Houston will also be missing key frontcourt depth. Backup centers Clint Capela and Steven Adams remain sidelined with right ankle and right soleus injuries, respectively. Their absences could affect the Rockets' rebounding, especially against a Phoenix team that has struggled to control the glass.
The Suns surrendered 15 offensive rebounds against the Orlando Magic on Thursday, despite securing a double-digit victory. Houston's strength on the boards could make that a major concern, even without Capela and Adams.
Phoenix enters the matchup at 2-5 after snapping its four-game losing streak. The Suns will look to carry that momentum forward despite their injury concerns as they aim to secure back-to-back wins.
