Bradley

Beal

According to Suns head coach Mike Budenholzer, Beal is progressing in his recovery from a strained hamstring. However, he has not done any 5-on-5 work, so the Suns’ guard will not play on Wednesday. Collin Gillespie has filled the void in the starting lineup, but he’s been more valuable to Phoenix than to fantasy managers. Also, Ryan Dunn’s fantasy ceiling has been raised, making him worth a look in deep leagues.

Based on the timeline provided at the time of his injury, Beal is due to be re-evaluated on Monday. However, he has already been ruled out for that night’s game against the Bucks. Ryan Dunn should continue to fill in as Beal’s replacement in the starting lineup, and the rookie has provided 10th-round value in eight-cat formats over the past week.

This timeline has Beal set to be re-evaluated on March 24, which means that he will miss all three of the Suns’ games this week and will likely miss their game against the Bucks on the re-evaluation date. Tyus Jones will likely replace Beal in the starting lineup, which gives him a boost in value for the rest of the week.

Unsurprisingly, Beal is out after experiencing tightness in his left hamstring during Sunday’s loss to the Lakers. While Collin Gillespie started the third quarter in Beal’s absence, he has not done enough to merit being streamed. Tyus Jones will also have added importance and should be ahead of Gillespie in the pecking order. As for Allen, Monday’s game will be the fourth he has missed with a strained foot. Royce O’Neale and Ryan Dunn will continue to play additional minutes.

Beal is again injured, as tightness in his left hamstring has ended his Sunday afternoon. Collin Gillespie started the third quarter but is not a player fantasy managers should look to add if Beal misses time. Tyus Jones should also have an expanded role within the Suns rotation.

While he hasn’t been much of an asset in fantasy leagues since the All-Star break, Jones is capable of the occasional big night. Friday was one of those occasions, as he shot 6-of-6 from beyond the arc. The six triples matched Jones’ season-high, and this was his first 20-point effort since New Year’s Eve. Tyus’ hot shooting helped supplement Bradley Beal’s production, as he finished with 15 points, three rebounds, two assists, one steal and four three-pointers in 26 minutes. As long as Beal remains the preferred option to start, there won’t be much to gain from rostering Jones in most leagues.

Beal scored 19 points against the Mavericks last Sunday, but sat out Monday against the Grizzlies with a calf injury. The 31-year-old returned to the court Wednesday and seemed to benefit from Grayson Allen missing the game with a foot injury. Beal had 25 points despite missing all four of his 3-point attempts. It was his best game so far in March, but his fantasy ceiling appears capped outside the top-75, which is where he ranks since the All-Star break.

Allen’s playing time has been on the rise this month but he appears set to miss his first game of March. His absence could benefit Bradley Beal against the Rockets.

Tyus Jones started in place of Beal on Monday, which was the second night of a back-to-back. Jones will likely return to playing a reserve role with Beal back in the rotation.

Beal will unsurprisingly sit out the second leg of Phoenix’s back-to-back set. Tyus Jones should replace him in the starting five.
