Phoenix Suns DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (hamstring) has been listed as doubtful on the injury report ahead of their Friday night matchup against the Houston Rockets. The 30-year-old missed their last game before the All-Star break and missed the first half of the back-to-back on Thursday due to the same tightness that he's experiencing in his left hamstring. Beal will likely miss a third contest and it's unclear how long he'll need to remain on the sidelines to clear up the hamstring issue. The recovery time varies from case to case. While he's watching from the bench, Grayson Allen and Eric Gordon will likely pick up the slack in the starting five while Royce O'Neale should get some added opportunities from the bench.

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (hamstring) won't play on Thursday versus Dallas. He tweaked his hamstring during a meeting with the Kings and didn't play the following night against Detroit, the Suns final game before the All-Star break. There was talk he'd be good to suit up. However, head coach Frank Vogel indicated Beal is "not quite ready." Nonetheless, Devin Booker will likely see an uptick in usage without Beal on the floor. Additionally, Royce O'Neale, averaging 7.0 points, 5.0 boards, and 2.3 steals in three games with the Suns, is worth starting in any fantasy league.

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (hamstring) is questionable heading into Thursday's showdown with the Dallas Mavericks. The veteran suffered a left hamstring injury during a game versus the Sacramento Kings and didn't suit up the following night against Detroit, the final game for the Suns heading into the All-Star break. Without question, Beal has been burdened by injuries this year. He battled a back injury earlier in the season and underwent a procedure on his nose in January. The 30-year-old has also averaged 18.2 points during the 2023-24 campaign, five points fewer than last season. Nevertheless, reports continue to indicate Beal will be out there on Thursday. But if he's not, Royce O'Neale, who's averaged 7.0 points, 5.0 boards, and 2.3 steals in three games with the Suns, is worth rostering in any fantasy league.

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (hamstring) is on track to return to action on Thursday versus Dallas. The former All-Star injured his left hamstring a week ago and sat out the team's final game ahead of the All-Star break. Beal has managed to shake off the hamstring problem during the break and recently underwent a procedure on his broken nose. He has played his last nine games wearing a mask after breaking his nose last month. Beal has had two of his three best scoring performances of the campaign in February, including a season-high 43 points in his return to Washington, and he should have a strong finish to 2023-24 as the Suns are in the midst of a fierce battle for a top-four playoff seed in the Western Conference.

Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant scored a very efficient 18 points in Sunday's All-Star game in Indianapolis. The former All-Star Game MVP shot 7-for-12 from the field and 4-for-8 from downtown en route to 18 points. Durant also had five rebounds and five assists with two steals in 25 minutes. The veteran star has been extremely efficient with his work lately, shooting at least 60 percent in three of his last four appearances with the Suns, and the team will need more of the same for the rest of the way, with Phoenix playing catch-up in a battle for a top-four seed in the Western Conference. Durant is currently on track to record his fifth season with at least 28.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 5.0 assists.
