Phoenix Suns DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (toe) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies due to left toe soreness. Beal will miss his third straight game, and with his injury history, it's been tough for fantasy managers to rely on his consistency. However, when healthy, he has been productive, averaging 17.4 points per game and shooting 40.1% from three-point range. With Beal sidelined, Devin Booker, Tyus Jones, and Ryan Dunn will be asked to take on bigger roles in the backcourt, and the return of Kevin Durant should help shoulder the offensive load. Beal's next chance to return will be Wednesday against the Houston Rockets.

Charlotte Hornets center Jusuf Nurkic is not on the injury report on Monday, indicating that he will be in the lineup against the Brooklyn Nets. The big Bosnian is finally eligible to make his debut with his new crew. Mark Williams is not with the team, and Moussa Diabate (eye) is questionable to suit up, meaning we might see plenty of Nurkic on Monday. It's a good matchup for him against a team that allows the ninth-most fantasy points to opposing centers.

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Grayson Allen (knee) will come out of the lineup on Saturday against the Denver Nuggets. Following 19 consecutive appearances, Allen sits out the second leg of a back-to-back due to soreness in his left knee. Kevin Durant (ankle) and Bradley Beal (toe) will not play either, leaving Phoenix without three of its four highest scorers on Saturday. Due to the injuries, Royce O'Neale, Ryan Dunn, and Monte Morris should be more heavily involved in the rotation.

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (toe) will remain on the shelf for a second consecutive game on Saturday against the Denver Nuggets. Beal has recently produced some of his best performances of the season, but a toe injury has taken him out of the lineup. Kevin Durant (ankle) also remains out on Saturday, meaning Devin Booker will continue to have massive usage offensively. He nearly produced a 50-point double-double in Friday's 135-127 overtime win against the Utah Jazz. Ryan Dunn, Royce O'Neale, and Grayson Allen (knee) are also among the players who benefit from the situation. However, Allen may also have to skip Saturday's game due to knee soreness.

Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant (ankle) will remain out for a third consecutive game on Saturday against the Denver Nuggets. The veteran star is struggling to shake off a left ankle injury. His next chance to return will be on Tuesday against the Memphis Grizzlies. Royce O'Neale and Grayson Allen (knee) have taken on bigger workloads with Durant on the shelf. Allen is considered a game-time call on Saturday, meaning the Suns' bench may need to play an even larger role in Saturday's contest.
