Phoenix Suns DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant (ankle) is currently listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. Durant appears to be in danger of missing his second straight game due to a left ankle sprain. If he sits, Royce O'Neale, Ryan Dunn (ankle), and Grayson Allen would all see bigger workloads if Durant is unable to play. Both O'Neale and Allen are decent streaming choices if Durant or Bradley Beal (toe) are unavailable. Fantasy managers will need to check back on Friday for another update.

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (toe) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Utah Jazz. It's unclear where Beal picked up this injury considering he has played in seven straight games. Hopefully, it's only a minor issue that won't cost him any time, but fantasy managers will need to check back for another update. If he sits, Tyus Jones, Royce O'Neale, and Grayson Allen would be asked to play bigger roles in the rotation. Between the trio, O'Neale appears to be offering the most upside in terms of streaming value.

The Phoenix Suns acquired forward Cody Martin along with guard Vasilije Micic and a 2026 second-round pick from the Charlotte Hornets in exchange for Jusuf Nurkic and a first-round pick. While the trade was mostly about moving Nurkic, Martin is an interesting addition to the Suns. The 29-year-old has been limited to 39 games this season but has produced 7.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 1.1 steals in his 24.8 minutes per game. He has shown good upside in higher usage situations, and he could work his way into a meaningful role in the Suns' second unit, but his role is very undefined at this point.

The Charlotte Hornets acquired Jusuf Nurkic from the Phoenix Suns in a trade on Thursday before the NBA Trade Deadline, along with a first-round pick in exchange for Cody Martin, Vasilije Micic and a 2026 second-round pick. The Hornets traded away Mark Williams to the Lakers and Nick Richards to the Suns earlier during the season, so they have plenty of playing time for Nurkic if he's ready to step back into a full-time role. Nurk has only played two games in 2025 and only averaged 16.0 minutes per game off the bench for Phoenix. He started his first 23 games of the season, producing 8.8 points, 9.5 rebounds, 1.9 assists, and 1.0 steals in 24.3 minutes per game. He should have the opportunity to contribute for the short-handed Hornets, and he could be a nice fantasy option the rest of the season if he steps into a large role.

NBA reporter Chris Haynes reports that Phoenix Suns forwardKevin Durant(ankle) won't suit up against the Oklahoma Thunder on Wednesday due to a left ankle sprain. The Suns are also reportedly listening to offers for Durant, with teams such as the Warriors inquiring about him. However, according to ESPN's Shams Charania, he has no desire to return to Golden State in any trade. With the 36-year-old out Wednesday night, Grayson AllenandRoyce O'Neale will likely have more playing time and scoring opportunities.
