Phoenix Suns DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Phoenix Suns guard Grayson Allen (foot) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Allen will now miss his sixth game in a row due to a strained left foot. The team hasn't given a timetable on his return, but his next chance to play will be against the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday. The expectation is that Collin Gillespie and Royce O'Neale should see additional playing time with Allen out again. Between the two, O'Neale is the better fantasy option due to his defensive ability.

Phoenix Suns center Mason Plumlee (quadriceps) will not play against the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday night. He injured his left quadriceps on Monday against the Toronto Raptors, which will cause Plumlee to miss only his second game of the season. In his absence, Oso Ighodaro will move up in the depth chart. Ighodaro outperformed starting center Nick Richards on Monday, though it was during a blowout victory. The 22-year-old has averaged 6.4 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks in 22.4 minutes across five appearances in March.

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Grayson Allen (foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls, marking his fifth consecutive absence. The veteran sharpshooter is trying to recover from a left foot strain. The Suns are also without Bradley Beal (hamstring), prompting head coach Mike Budenholzer to experiment with Collin Gillespie in the starting unit on Monday versus the Toronto Raptors. With Allen and Beal unavailable, Tyus Jones, Royce O'Neale, and Cody Martin are also given additional playing time.

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (hamstring) will be unavailable for at least one week. The former All-Star sat out Monday's contest against the Toronto Raptors due to a left hamstring injury, and Suns head coach Mike Budenholzer noted that Beal will be re-evaluated in one week. With Beal sidelined, Collin Gillespie received the starting nod for the first time in his NBA career. However, he was not very impactful in the game, finishing a blowout victory with three points, two rebounds, and two assists in 16 minutes. Tyus Jones probably has the most to gain from Beal's absence, considering he rolled with the starters for the first few months of the season before Beal bumped him to the bench.

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Grayson Allen (foot) will remain on the shelf for Monday's encounter with the Toronto Raptors. He is nursing a left foot strain. Due to Allen's absence, Collin Gillespie has entered the rotation lately, while Ryan Dunn and Royce O'Neale are also in a position to log a few extra shifts. Following a lengthy slump, Dunn has averaged 14.5 points and 3.5 steals over the past two games. O'Neale provides more consistent production, though his fantasy potential is limited.
