Phoenix Suns DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (hip) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Utah Jazz. This game will be Booker's first absence since the beginning of December. The expectation is that Eric Gordon is going to move into the starting five. Gordon will have increased value and is worth a look as a streaming option. Fantasy managers should double check the waiver wire to make sure Gordon isn't on there. He's well worth a look while the Suns are banged up.

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Cody Martin (knee) might be absent for a third straight game on Wednesday against Toronto. The team has listed him as questionable for the contest with a right knee contusion. Martin only made his season debut in late December, and he's struggled to put together a good stretch of games, averaging 7.2 points in 25.9 minutes with 3.2 rebounds and 3.2 assists. His absence gave Leaky Black a chance to make his first career start last time out against the Lakers, while Bryce McGowens has also benefited. However, both players have struggled to make an impact.

Brooklyn Nets forwards Dorian Finney-Smith and Royce O'Neale are two of three players seemingly on the trade block ahead of the NBA's trade deadline on February 8. According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, the Nets are listening to offers on both of their veteran forwards and Spencer Dinwiddie. They're expected to look for deals on just these three vets while the rest of the roster is expected to stay in Brooklyn at least until this offseason. Finney-Smith and O'Neale are two prototypical 3-and-D wings that many playoff contenders could use. It's unclear right now what the Nets are expecting in return and whether or not it would be a package of picks plus younger players or one of the two.

Washington Wizards guard Tyus Jones (ankle) is good to go for Sunday's game versus the Phoenix Suns. The 27-year-old sprained his ankle on Friday against Miami and carried a questionable tag heading into Sunday's matinee. Fortunately, the Wizards will have him in the lineup, which is good news, considering the team won't have Kyle Kuzma (shoulder). Jones has averaged a career-high 12.1 points and 6.3 dimes this season. Although his assists numbers could dip without Kuzma on the floor, he could easily make up for it on the scoring end.

Washington Wizards guard Tyus Jones (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game versus Phoenix. He tweaked his ankle during Friday's outing with the Miami Heat, ending his night after 26 minutes of action. There's a good chance the team will keep the 27-year-old off the floor against the Suns, meaning his next opportunity to suit up will be for Wednesday's clash with the Cleveland Cavaliers. But if Jones isn't active, Jordan Poole will presumably take over most of the ball-handling duties. With Kyle Kuzma (shoulder) out, Corey Kispert, who had 26 points against the Heat, will likely enter the starting lineup, with Landry Shamet and Delon Wright getting more work from off the bench.
