Phoenix Suns DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (hamstring) is out for Wednesday's tilt versus the Detroit Pistons, but head coach Frank Vogel said the team doesn't believe Beal is dealing with a serious injury following Tuesday's win over the Sacramento Kings. Beal injured his left hamstring early in the game and couldn't return, so it's no surprise the Suns will keep him off the floor on the second night of a back-to-back against the 8-45 Pistons. Phoenix returns to action on Feb. 22 for a battle with the Dallas Mavericks, which marks the All-Star guard's next chance to play. Kevin Durant and Devin Booker will dominate usage on Wednesday, with both Royce O'Neale and Eric Gordon being fantasy streaming options against a Pistons group that sits 27th in the NBA in opponent points per game (122.1). Gordon has averaged 14.6 points, 2.9 assists, 2.8 triples, and 2.1 rebounds in 23 games without Beal in 2023-24.

Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Cody Martin (knee) is considered probable for Wednesday's matchup against Atlanta. He missed a pair of games at the start of the month but has since then featured in four consecutive contests, playing very healthy minutes. So, Martin has been looking good health-wise lately and is expected to play versus the Hawks. The 28-year-old has averaged 10.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 4.3 assists in 27.5 minutes across the past four games. It's a fantasy dream matchup for Martin and the Hornets on Wednesday, as two of the worst defensive teams in the league go head to head, with Atlanta also holding a top-three spot in pace.

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (hamstring) won't return to Tuesday's matchup with the Sacramento Kings. The veteran wasn't around long in this one, logging just five minutes before exiting because of a hamstring issue. He's averaged only 18.7 points during the 2023-24 campaign, nearly five points fewer than last season. Beal has also missed 24 games due to a variety of ailments, so fantasy managers are already planning to be without him for Wednesday's game with the Detroit Pistons, the final contest before the All-Star break. That said, Kevin Durant and Devin Booker will pick up most of the slack offensively, with Grayson Allen and Eric Gordon likely to get more involved on the scoring end until Beal returns.

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (nose) made an appearance on the injury report due to a nasal fracture but he's listed as available for the Tuesday night matchup against the Sacramento Kings. Fortunately, Beal hasn't had to miss a game since December 27, and it doesn't look like that streak will come to an end. The 30-year-old has put together some big-time games over the last few outings including a 30-point and 43-point outing against the Jazz and Wizards respectively. Since Beal will be on the court, he remains a must-start in all fantasy formats and should be able to find a rhythm against a weaker defensive squad in the Kings.

Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Monte Morris will be available to make his team debut on Monday versus the Clippers. The veteran was picked up last week from Detroit in exchange for Troy Brown Jr., Shake Milton, and a second-round draft pick. Morris was hurt at the start of the campaign and featured just eight times for the Pistons. He posted 4.5 points and 1.3 assists in 11.3 minutes off the bench. Morris is still working his way back into full rhythm, and his numbers should improve, but only an injury to Mike Conley would make him a viable fantasy option.
