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.

Milwaukee Bucks guard Malik Beasley (back) popped up on the injury report again and has been listed as questionable for the Sunday matinee against the Phoenix Suns. The veteran wing was forced to miss their last game on Friday with the same back spasms. A better picture of his health will come on the day of the game when he tries to go through shootaround. Patrick Beverley took his place in the starting five during their last contest, so the same would likely happen. Giannis Antetokounmpo (hamstring) is also questionable, so Beverley and Bobby Portis could have some heavy minutes in store.

Milwaukee Bucks guard Malik Beasley (back) won't play on Thursday against Philadelphia. He logged 25 minutes in Tuesday's loss to the Sacramento Kings and was added to the injury report heading into this one because of back spasms. With Khris Middleton (ankle) out for over a month, Beasley has been getting more work, making him a viable fantasy commodity. However, now that he's out, Pat Connaughton, averaging 10.5 points and 7.5 assists in two starts this season, will make a fine value addition to DFS lineups.
