Phoenix Suns DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (calf) is questionable for Tuesday's action against the Los Angeles Clippers. The veteran star returned from a left calf injury on Sunday against the Minnesota Timberwolves, but he is still managing the condition and may come out of the lineup again. Beal recently bumped Tyus Jones to the bench, and Jones will be a strong candidate to rejoin the starting unit on Tuesday. If Beal is out, Grayson Allen could also take on a larger role in the rotation, although his recent performances have been poor.

According to ESPN's Shams Charania, the Suns and forward Kevin Durant could work together on a trade during the offseason. Charania added that this may not happen if the Suns make a "significant run" this postseason, assuming Phoenix makes it that far. If not, league sources believe both sides may work collectively to make a deal happen. The 36-year-old has played well this season, averaging 26.7 points, 5.9 boards, 1.3 blocks, and 40.1% shooting from behind the arc. But Phoenix has struggled over the last few seasons, so the team may look to rebuild around Devin Booker. There are teams that will have the cap space available to acquire the multi-time All-Star. But other clubs may not be interested for reasons outside of his abilities on the court.

Phoenix Suns guard Grayson Allen (foot) has been upgraded to available ahead of Sunday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Allen appears ready to play again after missing their last contest due to a foot injury. Fellow guard Bradley Beal (calf) has been cleared to play, which means Allen should play his normal role in the rotation. Allen has been an inconsistent fantasy option this season, which makes him tough to trust as a fantasy option. The 29-year-old is more of a deep league option, but could have some low-end streaming appeal in standard leagues.

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal (calf) has been upgraded to available ahead of Sunday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. This is good news after Beal was listed as questionable coming into this game. Beal missed the back-to-back set against the New Orleans Pelicans, but isn't expected to have any minute restrictions during Sunday's game. Beal has been playing better since the All-Star break with 24 points or more in each of his last three games. Fantasy managers better make sure to get him active in their lineups on Sunday.

Charlotte Hornets center Jusuf Nurkic (illness) is questionable for Saturday's meeting with the Wizards. The veteran has been decent in five appearances with the Hornets, averaging 8.2 points, 8.6 boards, 1.4 steals, and 1.2 blocks. He has missed the last two games because of an illness. However, with Mark Williams available on Saturday night, Nurkic is a shaky fantasy option if he plays.
