Washington Wizards guard Tyus Jones (back) is reportedly suffering from back spasms and has officially been listed as doubtful for their Saturday night matchup against the Chicago Bulls. This is going to be Jones' first missed game all season. He's been one of the only consistently available players for the Wizards this year, so fantasy managers will have to find a backup plan for once. Jones was able to play in their last game against the Houston Rockets and even played a full 31 minutes, so it's unclear when the issue came to light. In his place, Jordan Poole will probably move into the starting lineup again while Jared Butler should see some added minutes as well.
Phoenix Suns guard/forward Josh Okogie (abdomen) will miss a sixth straight game on Thursday versus Boston. The versatile wingman continues to nurse a lower abdominal strain. Phoenix likely gets Nassir Little (knee) back on Thursday, but with Eric Gordon (knee) questionable for the game, the bench could still be short of quality. Boston gives up the eighth-most shot attempts to opposing benches, so this is a promising matchup for Phoenix's second unit.
Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (ankle) is available ahead of Monday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. As expected, Booker will play after being listed as probable coming into the game. Royce O'Neale will shift to the second unit, but will still be worth holding in deep leagues. The Suns are still without some players, which should give O'Neale more playing time off the bench. Fantasy managers should expect Booker to resume his normal role in the starting five for Monday's game.
Phoenix Suns guard/forward Josh Okogie (abdomen) will be absent for a fifth consecutive game on Monday versus Cleveland. He's trying to overcome an abdominal strain. With Eric Gordon (knee) joining Okogie on the shelf, the starters will likely be in for a busy night on Monday, and Royce O'Neale could still have a major part to play in the rotation, despite getting demoted back to the bench due to Devin Booker's (ankle) likely return. This will be a favorable matchup for the Suns against an injury-hit team.
Phoenix Suns guard/forward Devin Booker (ankle) appears ready to rejoin the action on Monday against Cleveland. The team has listed him as probable for the game. Booker has missed four contests with a right ankle sprain. Bradley Beal has had a strong stretch during his absence with extra usage, while Royce O'Neale has been logging minutes in the starting unit in his place. The Cavaliers are dealing with a number of injuries right now, meaning they could be easy prey for Booker on Monday night. The Suns star has posted 30-plus points twice in his past five appearances, averaging 28.0 points overall over the span.
