Phoenix Suns DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Phoenix Suns guardBradley Beal(calf) is unavailable for Monday's matchup with the Memphis Grizzlies. Beal collected 19 points, six assists and three rebounds in 29 minutes of work in Sunday's win versus Dallas. However, the 31-year-old will be out of action for the second leg of a back-to-back set. He's had issues with soreness in his left calf throughout this season. With Beal on the shelf, Grayson Allen, Tyus Jones, and Royce O'Neale will see an uptick in scoring opportunities and fantasy value for this evening's contest.

Charlotte Hornets center Jusuf Nurkic (neck) draws another probable tag for Monday's game against the Miami Heat despite dealing with a sore neck. The veteran big man will probably come off of the bench since Mark Williams isn't on the injury report anymore. So far, through March, Nurkic averages 6.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 1.0 turnovers across 18.3 minutes per game. Since he's been relegated to a backup role, he holds more value when Williams doesn't play.

Charlotte Hornets center Jusuf Nurkic (neck) won't play on Saturday versus the Nets. Mark Williams (left foot) didn't suit up for Friday's loss to the Cavaliers, resulting in Nurkic getting the start and finishing with 12 points, 15 rebounds, five assists, one steal, and one block. But with Nurkic and Williams both sidelined against Brooklyn, Moussa Diabate, averaging 6.4 points and 10.3 rebounds in seven starts during the 2024-25 campaign, will handle things in the middle.

Charlotte Hornets center Jusuf Nurkic (back) will play on Friday versus Cleveland. Mark Williams (left foot, injury management) won't suit up, so Nurkic will likely slide into the starting lineup. He has averaged only 6.9 points and 7.6 rebounds in seven games with the Hornets. Yet, the veteran amassed 12 points, nine boards, three steals, and one block in his most recent start of the 2024-25 campaign. As a result, Nurkic is an ideal streaming option, despite the tough matchup on the horizon. He'll also draw value interest from DFS managers.

Charlotte Hornets center Jusuf Nurkic (back) picked up a probable status on Friday for the game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The former Phoenix Sun received just 11 and 14 minutes respectively over the last two contests but he's in line for a bigger role with Mark Williams (injury management) ruled out. The last time Nurkic received the starting nod was on February 24 when they suffered a 42-point loss to the Sacramento Kings while he registered 12 points, nine rebounds, three assists, three steals, and one block. He's likely widely available, and would serve as a solid streaming option for fantasy managers looking to replace Williams for a game.
