Phoenix Suns DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Charlotte Hornets forward Cody Martin (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Martin is hopeful to get back on the court here after missing each of the last two games due to a lingering knee issue. The Hornets have been shorthanded with LaMelo Ball (wrist) and Brandon Miller (ankle) also sidelined for those games. That has pushed Seth Curry and Vasilije Micic into bigger roles in the rotation. Both players are worth considering as low-end streaming options if the Hornets aren't able to get healthy before Friday's contest.

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (groin) was listed as questionable for the team's Tuesday night home game against Memphis, but he was upgraded to available 30 minutes before tip-off. Booker has missed the last five games with a groin injury but will start for Phoenix in the team's final game of 2024. In his 26 games this season, Booker has averaged 25.1 points, 6.4 assists, and 3.7 rebounds per game. He could only be available for limited minutes, but his return means he can be started in all fantasy formats. While Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal get a slight downgrade for DFS contests, Booker's return is great news for the Suns.

Phoenix Suns guard Grayson Allen was initially listed as probable to return from a concussion that had sidelined him for the last four games. However, Coach Mike Budenholzer said that Allen was now dealing with shoulder soreness even though he passed the NBA Concussion Protocol. He was downgraded to questionable at that point and ultimately ruled out about 30 minutes before game time. With him sidelined along with Jusuf Nurkic (suspension) and Royce O'Neale (ankle), Ryan Dunn and Oso Ighodaro could continue to see more opportunities and usage behind Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal, although Devin Booker's return will also dramatically impact the Suns' usage rates.

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Grayson Allen (shoulder) is now questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Grizzlies. The former Duke Blue Devil had been listed as probable after missing the last four games with a sore shoulder. However, it appears he's in jeopardy of missing another contest. With Devin Booker (groin) questionable, and Jusuf Nurkic (suspension) and Royce O'Neale (ankle) sidelined, Ryan Dunn could continue to see more scoring opportunities behind Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal.

Phoenix Suns forward Royce O'Neale (ankle) will not be available for Tuesday's game against Memphis. He will sit out at least one contest after spraining his left ankle in the previous game against Golden State. Luckily for the Suns, they will likely have Devin Booker (groin) and Grayson Allen (concussion) back in the rotation on Tuesday. Josh Okogie, who logged 31 minutes on Saturday against the Warriors, will also help to cover for O'Neale.
