Bradley Beal's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

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 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.

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.
