Fantasy Impact: An elbow injury leaves Beal with an injury designation ahead of Friday night's game, but it's not a serious issue and he is expected to play through it. Fantasy managers shouldn't hesitate to start him against the Mavericks, assuming he's cleared to play prior to game time.

Ryan Dunn (ankle) is doubtful to play in Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Dunn recently suffered an ankle injury and is likely to miss Friday's game because of it. He isn't typically very involved in Phoenix's rotation, so fantasy managers shouldn't put much weight into his likely absence against the Mavericks.

Kevin Durant put up 32 points (13-23 FG, 4-11 3PT, 2-3 FT) and grabbed eight rebounds in Wednesday's 115-112 win over the Miami Heat.

Fantasy Impact: Phoenix picked up a close win over Miami on Wednesday, largely thanks to the efforts of Durant. He led the team with 32 points on good shooting splits, and he was also a solid contributor on the boards. His six turnovers were less than ideal, but fantasy managers should still be happy with this performance.

Jusuf Nurkic scored 20 points (6-8 FG, 3-3 3PT, 5-6 FT) and grabbed 18 rebounds in Wednesday's 115-112 win over the Miami Heat.

Fantasy Impact: The big man played very well in Wednesday night's win. He scored 20 points while missing just two shots from the field, and he was also able to grab 18 rebounds on the night to complete his double-double. He's playing well to start the season and should be valued high in most leagues.

Royce O'Neale scored 15 points (6-9 FG, 3-4 3PT) and grabbed five rebounds in Monday's 118-116 win over the Philadelphia 76ers.

Fantasy Impact: The Suns were able to pick up a close win over the 76ers on Monday, and O'Neale played his part in that. He led the second unit with 15 points on the night, and he was also able to contribute five rebounds on the stat sheet. He remains a pretty good streaming option in most league formats.

Devin Booker scored just 13 points (3-18 FG, 0-6 3PT, 7-7 FT) and dished out six assists in Monday night's 118-116 win over the Philadelphia 76ers.

Fantasy Impact: Booker had a bad game on Monday night. He missed 15 out of his 18 field goal attempts on the night and finished the game with just 13 points on very poor efficiency. The Suns were still able to pick up a win, however, and he should bounce back sometime in the near future.

Josh Okogie is off the injury report for Saturday's game against the Trail Blazers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Okogie is set to make his season debut. He likely won't be on the fantasy radar.

Grayson Allen (Achilles) is expected to play in Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Allen is once again listed on the injury report due to a lingering Achilles issue, but it isn't likely to sidelined him on Friday. He should be available to play against the Lakers and will be primed for a solid workload with Josh Okogie (hamstring) out of the lineup for Phoenix.

Tyus Jones scored 11 points (5-10 FG, 1-5 3PT) and dished out eight assists in Wednesday's 116-113 OT win over the Los Angeles Clippers.

Fantasy Impact: The Suns slotted Jones into the starting lineup for the season opener, and he played decently well in that role. He scored 11 points and led the team with eight assists on the night, which helped Phoenix to pick up a tough win over the Clippers. Still, he's arguably the fifth scoring option in Phoenix's starting lineup, so he doesn't project to be a strong play moving forward.

Damion Lee (hamstring) is likely to play in Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)

Fantasy Impact: Lee wasn't able to play at all in the 2023-24 season due to injury, but it looks like he is set to make his return to the court on Wednesday. He's officially considered probable to play, so he should be active in the team's matchup against the Clippers. He probably won't see enough work to be fantasy relevant, but it's worth keeping tabs on what his involvement looks like to start the season.
