Phoenix Suns DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (toe) will be absent for a fourth consecutive game on Wednesday against the Houston Rockets. He is working his way back from a toe sprain and will now get some extra time to recover, with the league set to head into the All-Star break. Devin Booker (back) and Grayson Allen (knee) will also miss the game against the Rockets, leaving Kevin Durant and Tyus Jones as the only healthy players among Phoenix's top five scorers. Ryan Dunn was limited to only five minutes against the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday and should take on a much larger role in Wednesday's game, while Bol Bol might again be involved heavily in the offense. He has averaged 16.5 shot attempts across the past two games, posting 18.5 points.

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Devin Booker (back) will come out of the lineup on Wednesday against the Houston Rockets. He hurt his back in Tuesday's matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies as Phoenix kicked off a back-to-back. With Bradley Beal (toe) also out, Kevin Durant will be the last man standing among the Suns' Big Three. He netted a game-high 34 points in Tuesday's loss against Memphis to become the eighth player in NBA history with 30,000 career points. Given Phoenix's injury situation, Tyus Jones and Ryan Dunn should take on additional offensive duties in Wednesday's game.

Charlotte Hornets center Jusuf Nurkic (trade) is set to make his team debut against the Orlando Magic on Wednesday. After falling out of the rotation in Phoenix, Nurkic was traded to the Hornets during last Thursday's deadline. Now, Nurkic is set to make his Hornets debut, but he'll be under a minutes limit because he hasn't played since early January. It's unclear where Nurkic stands in the Hornets rotation right now. Mark Williams is back with the team after the trade with the Los Angeles Lakers fell through, but he's not playing right now. Moussa Diabate (eye) figures to see more minutes at the center spot, but he's questionable for Wednesday's game. That being said, Nurkic might end up starting on Wednesday with the Hornets limited on options.

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Grayson Allen (knee) will hop back into the lineup on Tuesday against the Memphis Grizzlies. The team has upgraded Allen from probable to available, with Allen ready for action after missing one game due to a sore left knee. Bradley Beal (toe) is out for the Suns, putting Allen in a position where he can contribute more offensively. In his last outing against the Utah Jazz, Allen stood out with a 21-point performance on 7-for-14 shooting from deep. The Grizzlies have a much better defensive record against three-point shooters, and Allen is unlikely to repeat his Friday heroics.

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Cody Martin (hernia) will not debut for his new team until after the All-Star break. Phoenix will be in action twice before the break, playing out a back-to-back set on Tuesday and Wednesday. Martin hasn't played since Jan. 24 due to a sports hernia. Before moving to Phoenix, Martin averaged 7.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 2.3 assists in 24.8 minutes with the Charlotte Hornets. It's unlikely he will get near these numbers with his new team, as there are now a lot more bodies ahead of Martin on the depth chart.
