Malik Beasley DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Detroit Pistons guard Malik Beasley (illness) has received a questionable tag on Friday for their matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks. The 28-year-old hasn't missed a game yet this season, but he's suffering from an illness at the moment. So far, he's posted his best season since 2020-21 with the Minnesota Timberwolves. If he's unable to play in this one, his 16.2 points and 28.0 minutes per game will be left to Dennis Schroder and maybe even Ron Holland II. Schroder would be the safest play for any fantasy or DFS managers as he's averaged 10.7 points, 5.1 assists, 2.6 rebounds, and 1.2 turnovers per game in 27 games with the Pistons.

According to NBA insider Chris Haynes, impending free agent guard Malik Beasley isn't expected to return to Milwaukee. The 27-year-old appeared in 79 games for the Bucks during the regular season, averaging 11.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 1.4 assists. He also shot 41.3% from deep, making him among the most proficient three-point threats in the National Basketball Association. Unfortunately, Beasley didn't see the floor as often late in the season, negatively impacting his statistical contributions for fantasy managers. At any rate, with Milwaukee strapped for cash this offseason, the team can't afford Beasley, who could seek around $13 million. As such, his fantasy outlook will hinge on where he signs for the 2024-25 campaign.

Milwaukee Bucks guard Malik Beasley (back) will play on Sunday versus Phoenix. He missed Thursday's matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers and was listed as questionable for Sunday. However, the back spams will only cost Beasley one game. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) unavailable for this one, Beasley has a chance to benefit from a production standpoint, so he should draw strong consideration from fantasy managers, especially those participating in DFS contests.
