Phoenix Suns DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Charlotte Hornets center Jusuf Nurkic (back) picked up a probable status on Friday for the game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The former Phoenix Sun received just 11 and 14 minutes respectively over the last two contests but he's in line for a bigger role with Mark Williams (injury management) ruled out. The last time Nurkic received the starting nod was on February 24 when they suffered a 42-point loss to the Sacramento Kings while he registered 12 points, nine rebounds, three assists, three steals, and one block. He's likely widely available, and would serve as a solid streaming option for fantasy managers looking to replace Williams for a game.

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (calf) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. He was only able to get through 14 minutes of action on Tuesday before he re-aggravated his calf injury. Beal was able to practice on Thursday without any issues, which is a good sign heading into Friday's contest. If he sits, Tyus Jones figures to get the starting nod, which would make him a more appealing fantasy option. Jones finished with 15 points and 12 assists during a game against the New Orleans Pelicans last week. He'd be worth a look as a streaming option if Beal is unable to play.

Charlotte Hornets centerJusuf Nurkic(back) is available for Wednesday's matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Nurkic is managing a minor back injury but is set to play in his second game in a row. Before facing the Golden State Warriors on Monday, Nurkic missed three straight games due to an illness. This season, the 30-year-old is posting averages of 8.4 points, 8.9 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per contest. Nurkic will likely play, but he will remain in the reserve role behindMark Williams.

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (calf) is available ahead of Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Beal was considered questionable coming into this game due to a calf issue, but it appears he's feeling good enough to play on Tuesday. The expectation is that Beal will have his normal role in the rotation, so Tyus Jones and Grayson Allen won't see any kind of boost for this game. Fantasy managers can go ahead and get Beal active in their lineups ahead of tip-off.
