Phoenix Suns

Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic (calf) will suit up to meet the Timberwolves on Friday. The 29-year-old logged 31 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Cavaliers. But he popped up on the injury report because of calf soreness. However, the Suns need every win they can get, so it will take more than that to keep Nurkic off the floor. He struggled the last time he faced Minnesota, finishing with just three points. While there's a good chance Nurkic will play better this time around, the injury could limit his workload enough to lower his fantasy ceiling.

Washington Wizards point guard Tyus Jones (back) will remain out of the lineup against the Trail Blazers on Friday. This will mark his 12th consecutive absence due to a back problem and there is no timetable for his return. Jones' injury has helped Jordan Poole get back into the first unit, and he should get free rein on offense against Portland. Poole registered 29 points, two rebounds, five assists, and two steals in 34 minutes on the court one game ago against the Lakers.

Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic (calf) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The big man is back on the injury report due to left calf soreness. If he sits, Drew Eubanks is expected to move into the starting five during Friday's game. He'd be worth looking at as a streaming option if given the starting nod. Thaddeus Young would also see more minutes, but wouldn't be as viable of an option.

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Devin Booker remained hot in Wednesday's matchup against Cleveland, producing 40 points on 13-for-25 shooting in a 122-101 win. He hit five of his nine attempts from outside and missed a double-double by only two assists while collecting one rebound and one steal in 37 minutes of playing time. Booker has now posted 92 points across his last two appearances, hitting a superb 13-for-25 from deep. Minnesota's tough defense will try to slow him down next before Booker has another face-off with the Pelicans, against whom he's scored 50-plus points in three consecutive games.

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Grayson Allen (hip) is unavailable for Wednesday's tilt against Cleveland. He most recently logged 33 minutes in Monday's victory over the New Orleans Pelicans, posting 11 points. However, the 28-year-old is now on the injury report because of a sore right hip. His absence could open up more minutes for Eric Gordon and Royce O'Neale, with one of them in line to move into the starting five.
