Phoenix Suns

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Bradley Beal (elbow) is expected to play on Monday night against the Lakers. The veteran had a case of right elbow soreness, keeping him off the floor for Sunday's game versus the Dallas Mavericks. Ryan Dunn got the start in that one, with the 2024 No. 28 overall pick ending the night with 13 points and 50% shooting from deep. But with Beal anticipated to return, fantasy managers should be ready to get him back in the lineup. Unfortunately, Dunn probably won't see the floor enough to remain relevant in most formats, assuming Beal officially receives the green light.

Phoenix Suns guard Grayson Allen has been removed from the injury report and will suit up on Monday against the Los Angeles Lakers. The 29-year-old was at shootaround getting some work in with the rest of the team and will likely see some added opportunities if Bradley Beal (elbow) is unable to give it a go. Allen is a good source of threes, some assists, and maybe a steal or two for fantasy managers competing in category leagues.

Phoenix Suns guard Josh Okogie (hamstring) will be out again on Monday as he continues to deal with a right hamstring strain. He was seen getting some work in after the team finished with shootaround and was moving pretty well, but not at game speed just yet. When he's able to suit up, he'll likely slot back into a depth role and may take some minutes away from rookie Ryan Dunn or Monte Morris. There still isn't a firm timetable for his return though.

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (elbow) appeared on the injury report ahead of the Monday night matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers. He's listed with elbow soreness and is officially questionable. The All-Star combo guard missed 29 games due to injury last season, so the Suns may be listing this as a precaution, but his injury status is still worth monitoring ahead of tip-off. If he's unable to play, Grayson Allen and Royce O'Neale will see added minutes.

Phoenix Suns guard Grayson Allen (personal) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Allen was on the injury report due to an Achilles issue, but will end up sitting out this game for personal reasons. His next chance to play would be on Saturday against the Dallas Mavericks. Allen finished with eight points and three assists in 21 minutes during the season opener. His absence could mean more minutes for Damion Lee, Royce O'Neale, or Ryan Dunn. None of them are likely to see a large enough increase to warrant streaming on Friday.
