Phoenix Suns

Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic (eye) will be in the lineup on Saturday versus Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs. Phoenix's starting center has been upgraded from probable to available. Saturday will mark Nurkic's 14th consecutive appearance. He's been quiet offensively this month and will likely also find it tough on the attacking end against Wembanyama, but Nurkic averages 14.3 rebounds for the month with 3.9 rebounds and 1.1 blocks. He should still be productive for fantasy managers in a fast-paced game.

Washington Wizards point guard Tyus Jones (back) will be unavailable for a fifth consecutive game on Saturday against Toronto. Jones had played in every game this season before suffering a back injury. Jordan Poole has replaced Jones in the starting lineup. recording 17.8 points and 4.0 assists. Poole himself is questionable for Saturday's matchup, meaning Jared Butler could get a big opportunity to fill starting point guard duties. The backcourt injuries also open up playing time for Johnny Davis and Justin Champagnie.

Washington Wizards point guard Tyus Jones (back) will miss a fourth straight game on Thursday versus Sacramento. He's trying to shake off a back problem and will have his next opportunity to return on Saturday against Toronto. Jordan Poole has taken over as the starting point guard in Jones' absence, with Jared Butler seeing a good amount of minutes off the pine. Poole's fantasy stock has plummeted in 2023-24, and he did poorly again last time out against Houston, but he's getting a lot of shots and can heat up in a hurry. The matchup against the Kings is set to be a run-and-gun game, with both teams pushing the pace and focusing very little on defense, which will suit Poole.

Despite having an ankle issue, Phoenix Suns center Bol Bol (ankle) has been declared available for the upcoming game against the 76ers. However, he is not a consistent part of the team's rotation in Phoenix and can be left on the waiver wire in most leagues. Across 30 contests, the 24-year-old has averaged 11.0 minutes per contest while posting 5.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, 0.6 blocks, and 0.1 assists.

Washington Wizards guard Tyus Jones (back) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Houston Rockets. Jones has missed each of the last two games and appears to be in line for a third straight absence. Jordan Poole has been asked to move into the starting five and he has played well there. Poole posted a 31-point performance during their last game against the Boston Celtics on Sunday. That being said, Poole appears to be worth the risk as a fantasy option while he's given extra run as a starter.
