Phoenix Suns DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (ankle) won't play on Sunday versus OKC. He injured his ankle and exited Saturday's loss to the Houston Rockets and didn't return, so most had already planned to be without him. Although X-rays were negative, fantasy managers should expect the 27-year-old to miss at least a few games. Luckily for Phoenix, Bradley Beal (hamstring) and Jusuf Nurkic (neck) are both expected to suit up on Sunday night, which certainly helps lessen the blow caused by Booker's absence. But it should also mean additional scoring opportunities for Eric Gordon, who has averaged 15.6 points when Booker isn't in the lineup this season.

Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic (neck) is listed as probable ahead of Sunday night's showdown with OKC. The Suns recently listed their official injury designations, and Nurkic is on the report because of neck spasms. Fortunately, it doesn't appear it will be enough to keep the 29-year-old off the court. However, things happen, so Bol Bol and Drew Eubanks could get more minutes if Nurkic suffers a setback before opening tip.

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (ankle) was forced to exit late in the fourth quarter during Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. Booker caught his foot on Royce O'Neale and rolled his ankle with roughly a minute left in the game. He limped back to the locker room to undergo further testing. Luckily, the X-rays came back negative, which means Booker shouldn't miss an extended period. The Suns play the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday. It's unlikely that Booker is going to be available for that one. O'Neale will likely benefit the most if Booker is forced to miss time.

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.
