Phoenix Suns DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant (thumb) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The superstar forward was uncertain coming into this contest due to a left thumb injury. The team wanted to wait until after warm ups to see how Durant was feeling, but it appears he's feeling good enough to play. The expectation is that Durant is going to have his normal workload during this game. The 36-year-old has been one of the best fantasy options this season and is obviously a must-start in all formats. Fantasy managers can get Durant active in their lineups ahead of tip-off.

The Charlotte Hornets announced forwardCody Martin(abdomen) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Martin will miss his third contest in a row due to a sports hernia injury. A timeline hasn't been set on when the 29-year-old veteran forward will return. In the meantime, Josh OkogieandDaQuan Jeffries will take extra minutes, especially this evening, with Josh Green(foot) also missing in action.

Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant (thumb) is listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The superstar forward appears to have suffered a left thumb injury during Monday's contest. The Suns are likely going to wait and see how Durant feels closer to tip-off before making a final decision on his status. If he sits, Royce O'Neale and Grayson Allen would be in line for larger roles. Neither player is a great source of fantasy production right now, but Allen is the better choice between the two due to his scoring ability.

Charlotte Hornets small forward Cody Martin (abdomen) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Detroit Pistons. The small forward will miss his second game in a row due to core tightness. He was last seen in action against the Portland Trailblazers, where Martin had a rebound and an assist in four minutes. This season, Martin has averaged 7.8 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game. His field goal percentage stands at 43.3%, while his three-point shooting percentage is at 32.3%.

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (ankle) will play on Saturday against the Washington Wizards. Beal has missed three of the last four games, including a trip to Washington, but he has been upgraded from probable to available ahead of Saturday's contest. Although his most recent outing resulted in only five points, Beal has been decent in his new bench role in Phoenix. He has averaged 14.7 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 4.0 assists as a reserve. Grayson Allen and Royce O'Neale will play smaller roles in the rotation with Beal back in the fold.
