Kevin Durant

PHX Small Forward #35

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Kevin Durant (left calf strain) and Bradley Beal (left calf contusion) participated in Friday’s practice, including some 3-on-3 work.

In the words of Suns coach Mike Budenholzer, Durant and Beal continue to “check those boxes” as they work toward a return to game action. Next up for them is 5-on-5 during Sunday’s practice. Durant and Beal returning on November 26 against the Lakers is a realistic possibility if there aren’t any setbacks. With Phoenix off until then, there’s no need for managers in most leagues to hold onto Royce O’Neale or Ryan Dunn.
Tyus Jones

PHX Point Guard #21

Tyus Jones finished Wednesday’s loss to the Knicks with 15 points (6-of-13 FGs), three rebounds, 10 assists, two steals, and three 3-pointers in 31 minutes.

Jones has dished out at least eight assists in three straight, reaching double figures twice. Wednesday’s total was one shy of his season-high, and he continues to provide 8th-round per-game value in 9-cat formats. Jones is rostered in 80% of Yahoo leagues, but that number won’t increase this week as the Suns don’t play again until Tuesday.
Jusuf Nurkic

PHX Center #20

Jusuf Nurkic amassed 14 points (5-of-8 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), 12 rebounds, three assists, three steals, two blocks, and three 3-pointers in 33 minutes in Wednesday’s loss to New York.

Nurkic was back on the court after sitting out Monday’s loss to the Magic, replacing Mason Plumlee in the starting lineup. Nurk recorded a complete stat line against the Knicks, good news for fantasy managers who have been waiting for him to break out. While his fantasy value remains disappointing, nights like Wednesday are why Nurkic remains rostered in nearly 90% of Yahoo leagues.
Royce O'Neale

PHX Small Forward #00

Royce O’Neale shot 6-of-12 from the field and 0-of-2 from the foul line in Wednesday’s loss to the Knicks, accumulating 17 points, four rebounds, two assists, one steal, and five 3-pointers in 33 minutes.

O’Neale was back in the starting lineup on Wednesday, and he got back on track after enduring a six-game stretch in which he shot 15-of-59 from the field. With Bradley Beal and Kevin Durant sidelined players like O’Neale will have additional opportunities to produce offensively. He took advantage on Wednesday, even if it didn’t result in a win.
Devin Booker

PHX Shooting Guard #1

Devin Booker shot 12-of-23 from the field and 7-of-8 from the foul line in Wednesday’s loss to the Knicks, tallying 33 points, three rebounds, five assists, and two 3-pointers in 38 minutes.

Booker had a big night individually, but the Suns are now 0-5 without Bradley Beal and Kevin Durant. Both may return as soon as Tuesday night, and while Booker’s numbers may take a hit, the chances of team success increase exponentially. He’s ranked just outside the top 25 in 9-cat formats for the season.
Royce O'Neale

PHX Small Forward #00

Tyus Jones, Devin Booker, Ryan Dunn, Royce O’Neale, and Jusuf Nurkic will start Wednesday’s game against the Knicks.

The Suns have made two changes to the lineup that started Monday’s loss to the Magic. Nurkic’s return from a sprained ankle means Mason Plumlee will come off the bench while O’Neale replaces Oso Ighodaro for matchup reasons. Jones, Booker, and Dunn complete the starting five.
Jusuf Nurkic

PHX Center #20

Jusuf Nurkic (left ankle sprain) is available for Wednesday’s game against the Knicks.

Nurkic is back after sitting out Monday’s loss to Orlando. His return likely means Oso Ighodaro will come off the bench, with his minutes being limited as the third center in Phoenix’s rotation. There’s no need to roster Ighodaro in redraft leagues with Nurkic active.
Bradley Beal

PHX Shooting Guard #3

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Suns are hopeful that Bradley Beal (left calf contusion) will be able to return sometime next week.

Beal has been sidelined since November 13, and Wednesday’s matchup with the Knicks will be the fifth game he has missed due to this particular injury. According to Charania, there’s hope that Beal could be back as soon as the Suns’ November 26 game against the Lakers. The team has a similar timeline for Kevin Durant, who’s out with a strained calf. Ryan Dunn and Royce O’Neale are worth streaming until the two stars return to action.
Jusuf Nurkic

PHX Center #20

Jusuf Nurkic (left ankle sprain) is questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Knicks.

Nurkic did not play in Monday’s loss to Orlando, and rookie Oso Ighodaro moved into the starting lineup. The rookie played well against the Magic, and that may be enough to keep him in the lineup if Nurkic remains sidelined.
Bradley Beal

PHX Shooting Guard #3

Bradley Beal (left calf contusion) is out for Wednesday’s game against the Knicks.

Beal will miss a fifth straight game with a calf contusion, keeping Ryan Dunn in the starting lineup. While the rookie has been an asset defensively, the offensive production has been limited. Dunn is only worth a look in deep leagues.
