Phoenix Suns DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (toe) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. Beal has played in seven straight games, but will sit this one out due to left toe soreness. Possibly, the Suns decided to rest Beal with this being the front end of a back-to-back set. He'll join Kevin Durant (ankle) on the bench, so the Suns are going to be shorthanded for this one. That means, Ryan Dunn, Royce O'Neale, and Grayson Allen should all see increased workloads. Both O'Neale and Allen appear to be viable streaming options given the Suns are missing two of their primary scoring options.

Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant (ankle) has been downgraded to out ahead of Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. Durant will miss his second game in a row due to a left ankle sprain. It remains to be seen if Durant will be active for the second leg of the back-to-back set on Saturday. In the meantime, Royce O'Neale, Grayson Allen, and Ryan Dunn (ankle) will all be asked to pick up the slack with Durant sidelined. Both O'Neale and Allen are worth a look as streaming options with Durant and Bradley Beal (toe) headed to the sideline on Friday.

According to Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer, Charlotte Hornets center Jusuf Nurkicwon't make his Hornets debut on Friday versus the San Antonio Spurs. The big man was traded from the Phoenix Suns on Thursday before the NBA Trade Deadline. Nurkic has only played two games in 2025 and averaged 16.0 minutes per game off the bench. He started his first 23 games of the season, producing 8.8 points, 9.5 rebounds, 1.9 assists, and 1.0 steals in 24.3 minutes per game. If the veteran center steps into an expanded role with Charlotte, he could be a nice fantasy option for the rest of the season. The 30-year-old's next opportunity to play is on Sunday against Detroit.

Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant (ankle) is currently listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. Durant appears to be in danger of missing his second straight game due to a left ankle sprain. If he sits, Royce O'Neale, Ryan Dunn (ankle), and Grayson Allen would all see bigger workloads if Durant is unable to play. Both O'Neale and Allen are decent streaming choices if Durant or Bradley Beal (toe) are unavailable. Fantasy managers will need to check back on Friday for another update.

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (toe) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. It's unclear where Beal picked up this injury considering he has played in seven straight games. Hopefully, it's only a minor issue that won't cost him any time, but fantasy managers will need to check back for another update. If he sits, Tyus Jones, Royce O'Neale, and Grayson Allen would be asked to play bigger roles in the rotation. Between the trio, O'Neale appears to be offering the most upside in terms of streaming value.
