Phoenix Suns DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Phoenix Suns guard Grayson Allen (knee) is listed as probable for Tuesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. After missing one game due to left knee soreness, Allen is expected to return to action. His production has been somewhat inconsistent, but he continues to play significant minutes. In his most recent game, Allen posted an impressive 21 points, seven rebounds, and six assists against Utah. The Suns will continue to rely on him to provide scoring and knock down shots from the perimeter.

Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant (ankle) is set to return to action in Tuesday's matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies. He is not listed on the injury report after missing three games with a left ankle sprain. Ryan Dunn or Royce O'Neale will have to give up a starting spot for Durant, who produced a full line in his first meeting with the Grizzlies this season. The veteran star tallied a team-high 29 points with 10 rebounds, six assists, one steal, and two blocks in a 117-112 loss on New Year's Eve.

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (toe) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies due to left toe soreness. Beal will miss his third straight game, and with his injury history, it's been tough for fantasy managers to rely on his consistency. However, when healthy, he has been productive, averaging 17.4 points per game and shooting 40.1% from three-point range. With Beal sidelined, Devin Booker, Tyus Jones, and Ryan Dunn will be asked to take on bigger roles in the backcourt, and the return of Kevin Durant should help shoulder the offensive load. Beal's next chance to return will be Wednesday against the Houston Rockets.

Charlotte Hornets center Jusuf Nurkic is not on the injury report on Monday, indicating that he will be in the lineup against the Brooklyn Nets. The big Bosnian is finally eligible to make his debut with his new crew. Mark Williams is not with the team, and Moussa Diabate (eye) is questionable to suit up, meaning we might see plenty of Nurkic on Monday. It's a good matchup for him against a team that allows the ninth-most fantasy points to opposing centers.

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Grayson Allen (knee) will come out of the lineup on Saturday against the Denver Nuggets. Following 19 consecutive appearances, Allen sits out the second leg of a back-to-back due to soreness in his left knee. Kevin Durant (ankle) and Bradley Beal (toe) will not play either, leaving Phoenix without three of its four highest scorers on Saturday. Due to the injuries, Royce O'Neale, Ryan Dunn, and Monte Morris should be more heavily involved in the rotation.
