GAME LOG

Nassir Little - Available to play Little (knee) is available for Monday's game versus Portland.
Impact Little missed the past two games for Phoenix, but his return is a welcome sight. With Kevin Durant (hamstring) out and Eric Gordon (calf) considered questionable, Little could see a healthy amount of minutes Monday if he's feeling up to it.

Kevin Durant - Won't play Monday Durant has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers due to right hamstring soreness, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Impact Durant played 39 minutes in Sunday's win over the Magic, recording 31 points (12-21 FG), five rebounds, five assists, three steals and one block. However, he'll take a seat for the second half of a back-to-back set to manage a hamstring injury, which is new for him. Nassir Little, Chimezie Metu, Josh Okogie, Keita Bates-Diop and Yuta Watanabe are candidates for increased roles, but Bradley Beal and Devin Booker should run the offense.

Eric Gordon - Questionable for Monday Gordon is questionable for Monday's game versus Portland due to right calf soreness.
Impact Gordon was a late addition to the injury report. Kevin Durant has already been ruled out with a hamstring issue, so Bradley Beal is looking at a bump in usage Monday. Grayson Allen could also have more touches coming his way if Gordon is unable to suit up.

Jusuf Nurkic - Records double-double in win Nurkic logged 19 points (8-17 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 13 rebounds and three assists in 33 minutes during Sunday's 112-107 victory over Orlando.
Impact Nurkic returned to action three games ago following a two-game absence due to personal reasons, and he's been outstanding down low for the Suns, tallying two double-doubles and recording at least 10 boards in every outing in that span. His scoring contributions will be secondary in a star-driven offense where Devin Booker and Kevin Durant lead the way, but Nurkic will remain valuable across all formats while being deployed as a two-way center in a starting role.
JANUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE
Kevin Durant - Shines against Orlando Durant notched 31 points (12-21 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals in 39 minutes during Sunday's 112-107 win over the Magic.
Impact Durant led the Suns in scoring in this tight win over the Magic, and while he also made his presence felt in other areas, there's no question his role as a scoring threat is pivotal for his fantasy upside. Durant is averaging 27.9 points, 6.8 assists and 5.4 rebounds per game since the start of December.
JANUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE
Devin Booker - Strong all-around showing Booker ended with 21 points (7-17 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, five assists and three steals across 37 minutes during Sunday's 112-107 victory over the Magic.
Impact Booker was impressive Sunday and played a prominent role in the Suns' tight win over the Magic. Booker scored at least 20 points in every game since the start of December, and while he had some tough outings from time to time, he still averaged 26.9 points per game while shooting 47.2 percent from the field in that span.

Josh Okogie - Cleared to play Okogie (ankle) is good to go for Sunday's game against the Magic, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Impact This was the expectation, as Okogie was carrying a probable tag prior to this update. With the Suns finally healthy, Okogie has seen his minutes trend down. Over his last three outings, he's averaging 11.0 minutes per contest.
DECEMBER 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Damion Lee - Yet to begin on-court work Lee (knee) remains out with no timetable to return following late September surgery on his right meniscus, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Impact Lee underwent meniscus repair surgery in his right knee in the final week of September. Opting to repair his tissue as opposed to trimming the meniscus does come with a longer recovery window, and coach Frank Vogel noted Wednesday that Lee is still firmly in the rehab stage while doing "no on-court work" and being "a ways away" from returning to action. The 31-year-old is 13 weeks removed from being ruled out indefinitely, and he is best regarded as week-to-week until reports emerge of Lee ramping up activity.

Impact This marks Little's second straight absence while on the mend from a knee injury. His next chance to return will arrive Monday against Portland.
DECEMBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Josh Okogie - Probable for Sunday Okogie (ankle) is probable for Sunday's game against the Magic, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.
Impact Okogie was held out of Friday's matchup with the Hornets due to a right ankle sprain, but he's trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's contest. Expect the Suns to release an update on his availability closer to tipoff.

Kevin Durant - Double-digit assists again Durant accumulated 21 points (8-11 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, 11 assists, three blocks and one steal across 39 minutes during Friday's 133-119 victory over the Hornets.
Impact Durant delivered double-digit assists for the second straight game, leading the Suns to a relatively comfortable win. He has recorded a combined 27 assists in the past two games, a nice bonus for anyone lucky enough to have him on their roster. He is the seventh-ranked player in nine-category leagues this season, averaging 29.8 points, 6.2 rebounds, 6.1 assists, 2.2 three-pointers and 1.9 combined steals and blocks. Barring an injury, Durant should remain a solid first-round asset moving forward.
DECEMBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Jusuf Nurkic - Huge double-double in win Nurkic notched 24 points (10-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 15 rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 28 minutes during Friday's 133-119 victory over the Hornets.
Impact Nurkic got back on track in the win, delivering his 10th double-double of the season. He has grabbed double-digit boards in seven straight games, as he continues to play some of his best basketball in recent memory. He has been a great fit in Phonix, averaging 12.4 points per game, adding 10.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.2 blocks. The return of Bradley Beal is likely to impact what Nurkic can do in terms of scoring the basketball. However, he should remain a top 70 player moving forward, a nice return on investment for anyone who managed to grab him in the later rounds of drafts.
DECEMBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Bradley Beal - Logs 30 minutes in return Beal finished with six points (3-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt), three rebounds, seven assists and one block over 30 minutes during Friday's 133-119 win over Charlotte.
Impact Beal returned to action after missing the previous five games due to an ankle injury. He was noticeably rusty on the offensive end, shooting 3-of-8 from the floor. However, he tallied seven assists in the win, playing as a facilitator, as opposed to a scoring threat. The shot will return at some point, assuming Beal can remain healthy. The fact he played 30 minutes is a great sign, giving managers hope that the worst is now behind him.
