Phoenix Suns DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (ankle) is considered probable for Saturday's contest against Golden State. The veteran star is nursing a right ankle sprain, but he was able to log 37 minutes despite the injury on Thursday versus Utah, and it looks like he will be good to go for Saturday's big matchup. Beal had hit some outstanding form lately, averaging 32.7 points per game over the last three contests. He's also bagged six steals over the stretch while delivering 5.3 assists.

Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker (hip) isn't listed on the injury report heading into Saturday's game against the Golden State Warriors. The 27-year-old didn't suit up on Thursday versus the Utah Jazz. However, he's played heavy minutes all season, so he likely needed some rest. Booker has averaged a career-high 27.9 points throughout the 2023-24 campaign. With his return to the lineup on Saturday, Eric Gordon will presumably head back to the bench and take most of his fantasy upside with him.

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, the Suns, Grizzlies, and Nets completed a three-team trade ahead of Thursday's deadline. Notably, Brooklyn will send forward Royce O'Neale to Phoenix. The 30-year-old has played for two teams throughout his career, the Jazz and Nets. He's averaged 6.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 2.4 assists while shooting 38.1% from deep. O'Neale has been a top trade target for many teams around the National Basketball Association for a while now, so the move shouldn't surprise anyone. Although he likely won't be a routine fantasy contributor, he'll provide Phoenix with much-needed depth. That said, O'Neale will probably start here or there moving ahead, meaning there should be some streaming opportunities for fantasy managers.

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.
