Phoenix Suns DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Beal has missed each of the last two games due to a left ankle sprain. The fact that he was upgraded to questionable means that Beal is trending in the right direction. The Suns are likely to use a committee approach to fill the void if Beal continues to miss time. That means, Ryan Dunn, Grayson Allen, and Royce O'Neale should all see increased playing time. Both Allen and Dunn are worth looking at as streaming options if Beal is forced to miss another game.

Phoenix Suns forward Bradley Beal (ankle) won't play on Saturday against the Pistons. The veteran was listed as doubtful, so fantasy managers already had a feeling this was coming. With Beal out again, Ryan Dunn will remain in the starting lineup, with the 22-year-old recently amassing 18 points, 11 rebounds, and one block versus the Washington Wizards.

Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic (illness) won't play on Saturday in Detroit. The 30-year-old has missed the last five games because of an illness, although it's been reported the Suns are looking to move him. But with no teams interested in his services, at least at the moment, there's a chance he'll remain on the roster. However, Nurkic likely won't see playing time, even if he's cleared to play in the near future, considering Nick Richards, Mason Plumlee, and Oso Ighodaro are above him on the depth chart.

Phoenix Suns forward Bradley Beal (ankle) is doubtful ahead of Saturday's matchup with the Pistons. The veteran tweaked his ankle and wasn't available versus the Wizards on Thursday. But it appears he'll miss his 11th game of the 2024-25 campaign on Saturday night. Without him, Ryan Dunn will likely remain in the starting lineup, with the 22-year-old amassing 18 points, 11 rebounds, and one block against Washington. With double-digit scoring performances in the last four games, Dunn deserves starting consideration from fantasy managers for the meeting with Detroit.

Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic (illness) is still not available for the Suns after testing positive for the flu. Nurkic had fallen out of the Suns rotation even before the illness, and his time with the team could be quickly coming to an end after the Suns acquired Nick Richards on Wednesday. Nurkic averaged 8.6 points, 9.2 rebounds, 1.9 assists, and 23.7 minutes per game in his 25 games this season, but it remains uncertain when and where he'll play next. At this point, Mason Plumlee has stepped in as the starting center for the Suns with rookie Oso Ighodaro serving as his primary backup. Both are in a good matchup on Thursday against the Wizards with Nurkic out and Richards not yet available for his debut.
