Phoenix Suns DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Cody Martin (ankle) isn't available for Sunday's matchup with the Toronto Raptors. The 28-year-old had 12 points and two blocks in 32 minutes in Friday's game against Philadelphia. But he tweaked his ankle in that one, so he's out on Sunday. Unfortunately, Martin has missed plenty of time over the years because of various ailments. While Martin may only sit out a few games moving ahead, he may have already been dropped in many fantasy leagues. Nonetheless, his absence could at least open the door for Vasilije Micic and Grant Williams to get more work, with both men warranting streaming consideration for all fantasy lineups.

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (hamstring) is available ahead of Saturday's game against the Houston Rockets. As expected, Beal will make his return to the court after missing each of the last five games due to a left hamstring injury. His return will shift Royce O'Neale back to the bench. O'Neale won't have as much streaming appeal anymore and will only be worth a look in deep leagues. It's unclear if Beal is going to be under a minutes limit during this game. Regardless, fantasy managers in season-long formats can get Beal back in their lineups.

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Cody Martin sprained his left ankle against Philadelphia on Friday and wasn't able to finish the game. He soaked in 32 minutes of action before suffering the injury and played well. Martin was Charlotte's lone starter with a positive plus/minus in a 121-114 loss, scoring 12 points and adding four rebounds, two assists, and two blocks to his line. The Hornets also lost Seth Curry (ankle) on Friday and entered the action without Brandon Miller (back), meaning the starting lineup could look very unusual for the team if any of the injuries don't clear up in time for Sunday's contest against Toronto. "I have no idea," said head coach Steve Clifford when asked about the status of Curry and Martin following Friday's game. "... Just hopefully those two guys are Ok. We'll keep our fingers crossed and get ready to go on Sunday."

Phoenix Suns shooting guard Bradley Beal (hamstring) will likely be available versus the Houston Rockets on Saturday. Beal has missed five consecutive contests and will boost the Suns rotation if he returns, as Eric Gordon (groin) is questionable. He's averaging 18.2 points, 4.5 assists and 4.3 rebounds per game. The 30-year-old has only managed to play in 30 games this season, and he last saw action against Sacramento on February 13th.

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Royce O'Neale will slide into the starting five ahead of Thursday's game against the Houston Rockets. The Suns are in need of help with Bradley Beal (hamstring) and Eric Gordon (groin) both sidelined. O'Neale contributed 20 points, 10 rebounds, four assists, and two steals during Sunday's game. It's hard to imagine him having the same type of performance again. However, fantasy managers should expect at least a fairly decent game from O'Neale considering the Suns are banged up. Fantasy managers should go ahead and take a chance on O'Neale if they need help for Thursday's slate.
