Phoenix Suns

On Thursday, Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic (ankle) is available against the Houston Rockets. The 29-year-old played in the Sun's last contest, logging 18 points, 22 rebounds, seven assists, one steal, and one block in 37 minutes of play against the Los Angeles Lakers on February 25th. In his 11th NBA season, the Bosnian big man is having a solid year and should be a mainstay in all fantasy lineups when available.

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (hamstring) is officially out for the Suns' game on Thursday against the Rockets. The 30-year-old will miss his fifth consecutive contest with a hamstring injury. Royce O'Neale will likely start and see more minutes as Eric Gordon (groin) is also out. Beal is averaging 18.2 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 4.5 assists in 32.6 minutes per game in this years campaign.

Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic (ankle) has been listed as probable for Thursday night's game against the Houston Rockets. The Bosnian big man was able to play in their last game as well where he registered 18 points, 22 rebounds, seven assists, one steal, one block, and three turnovers across 37 minutes. Nurkic is in the middle of his third season while averaging double-digit rebounds and his second-best season in terms of assists per game with 3.8. He should remain in all fantasy lineups whenever he's active, especially given that he's in the top 90 in terms of nine-category leagues. The last time the Suns played the Rockets, Nurkic was absent and they dominated the boards, that should change with him back in the lineup.

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (hamstring) is officially listed as questionable for the Suns' game on Thursday against the Rockets. The 30-year-old has missed each of the last four games with a hamstring injury, and he's in danger of missing another. If Beal has to sit out again, Royce O'Neale or Eric Gordon will likely start in his place, while both should see an increase in minutes. Beal is averaging 18.2 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 4.5 assists in 32.6 minutes per game this season.

Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic put in a dominating performance in rebounding on Sunday against the Lakers, grabbing a season-high 22 boards in a 123-113 victory. He had more rebounds than Anthony Davis and LeBron James combined (21), picking up seven of them on the offensive end alone. Following his return from a one-game absence, Nurkic logged 37 minutes, and his efforts included 18 points, seven assists, one steal, and one block. He shot 7-for-12 from the field and went 4-for-5 with his free throws. Nurkic looks set for a productive week, with back-to-back games against Houston coming up. Centers are shooting 56 percent against the Rockets and register 14.7 rebounds per 48 minutes against them.
