Keita Bates-Diop - Plays just six minutes Bates-Diop chipped in zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt) in six minutes during Tuesday's 119-116 victory over the Warriors.
Impact With Kevin Durant (ankle) sidelined, Bates-Diop started the Suns' previous contest, totaling five points, four rebounds and two assists in 17 minutes. However, Phoenix opted to start Chimezie Metu on Tuesday, forcing Bates-Diop to the back of the rotation. Bates-Diop has played fewer than 10 minutes in two of his last three appearances after averaging 20.5 minutes over his previous 16 appearances (seven starts).

Drew Eubanks - Blocks two shots in win Eubanks recorded three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal over 17 minutes during Tuesday's 119-116 win over the Warriors.
Impact Eubanks has played at least 15 minutes in seven straight games, averaging 4.3 points and 4.7 rebounds in 16.7 minutes during that stretch. The backup big man has a consistent role but doesn't have fantasy upside as long as Jusuf Nurkic is available. Eubanks hasn't scored in double figures since Nov. 17, but he has blocked multiple shots in a game three times over his last 10 appearances.

Jusuf Nurkic - Records double-double in win Nurkic produced 17 points (3-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 10-11 FT), 13 rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Tuesday's 119-116 win over the Warriors.
Impact Although Nurkic appeared to sustain an injury in the third quarter, he quickly returned to action and showed no ill effects. Nurkic's play has definitely helped the Suns amid Kevin Durant's (ankle) absence, with an average of 16 points and 11 rebounds over the past two games.
DECEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Bradley Beal - Returns with 16 points Beal logged 16 points (5-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-7 FT), three rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 27 minutes during Tuesday's 119-116 win over the Warriors.
Impact Beal will be on a minute restriction for the foreseeable future, but he plans on taking the floor in the back-to-back game on Wednesday. The team's willingness to play him immediately after his return to action is a good indication that Beals back is fully recovered. Although it might not be wise to roster him immediately, Beal will soon regain fantasy viability.
DECEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Devin Booker - Clutch in narrow win Booker closed Tuesday's 119-116 win over the Warriors with 32 points (12-23 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal in 36 minutes.
Impact Booker carried the team with Kevin Durant (ankle) out for a second straight game. He fought off an uncharacteristically solid game from Golden State's bench and contributed in every major category. The All-Star is obviously a universal must-start in all fantasy formats.

DECEMBER 13, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Josh Okogie - Won't return Tuesday Okogie is out for the remainder of Tuesday's game versus the Warriors due to a right hip injury, Jared Greenberg of TNT reports.
Impact Okogie will end Tuesday's contest with 10 points, two rebounds, two assists and one block in 11 minutes. Eric Gordon, Keita Bates-Diop and Yuta Watanabe are candidates to receive increased minutes in his absence. Okogie's status for Wednesday's matchup with the Nets is uncertain.
DECEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Keita Bates-Diop - Moves to bench Bates-Diop will move to the bench for Tuesday's game against the Warriors,John Dickinson of 95.7 The Game San Francisco reports.
Impact Kevin Durant (ankle) is sitting out again, but he could return either Wednesday against the Nets or Friday against the Knicks according to coach Frank Vogel. Chimezie Metu is getting the starting nod Tuesday, so Bates-Diop could have a limited role with the second unit.
DECEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Chimezie Metu - Gets starting nod Metu is in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Warriors.
Impact Metu will replace Keita Bates-Diop in the starting lineup Tuesday, with Kevin Durant (ankle) out. Metu will make his first start of the season after logging 23 minutes in Phoenix's previous contest.
DECEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Eric Gordon - Coming off bench Gordon will come off the bench for Tuesday's game against the Warriors,John Dickinson of 95.7 The Game San Francisco reports.
Impact Bradley Beal (back) is returning for the Suns on Tuesday and will start alongside Devin Booker. Josh Okogie will start at small forward, while Chimezie Metu will start at power forward in place of Kevin Durant (ankle). Gordon is still likely to play a significant role off the bench, especially with Beal on restrictions.
DECEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Grayson Allen - Likely out against Brooklyn Allen (groin) is unlikely to play in Wednesday's game versus the Nets, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.
Impact Allen has already been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Warriors but is also expected to miss the second leg of Phoenix's back-to-back against Brooklyn due to a right groin strain. If Allen is officially ruled out Wednesday, his next chance to suit up will be Friday's matchup with the Knicks.
DECEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Kevin Durant - Considered day-to-day Durant (ankle) is considered day-to-day, and coach Frank Vogel won't rule him out from playing Wednesday against the Nets, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Impact Although there's a chance Durant could play Wednesday, Vogel hinted that it's more likely we see him return Friday against the Knicks. Durant tested the ankle Tuesday with some isolation drills, but he didn't feel comfortable enough to play versus Golden State.
DECEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Bradley Beal - Will have minutes monitored Suns coach Frank Vogel said that Beal will be on a minutes restriction for Tuesday's game versus the Warriors, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.
Impact Vogel said that Beal's minutes won't be restricted to a hard line but more like a range. Beal will make his return to the lineup Tuesday after missing the previous 12 games with a back injury, and it would be surprising for the star guard to play more than 30 minutes against Golden State.
DECEMBER 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Kevin Durant - Ruled out Tuesday Durant (ankle) will not play in Tuesday's game against the Warriors.
Impact Durant will miss his second straight game Tuesday, and his status for Wednesday against the Nets is in the air. Durant is at least considered day-to-day, as he was able to get in a limited practice Monday. Coach Frank Vogel also said that he doesn't believe this will be a long-term injury. With Durant sidelined, Bradley Beal could step into a massive role in his return from a back issue.
DECEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Nassir Little - Won't play Tuesday Little (concussion) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Warriors, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Impact Little suffered an orbital fracture during Friday's loss to the Kings and landed in concussion protocol. He'll likely remain sidelined for Wednesday's matchup against the Nets as well. Keita Bates-Diop and Yuta Watanabe are candidates for slightly increased bench roles in Little's absence.
DECEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Grayson Allen - Will not play Tuesday Allen (groin) will not play in Tuesday's game against the Warriors, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.
Impact Allen will miss his second straight contest Tuesday, but he remains day-to-day after getting in a limited practice Monday. The good news for Phoenix is that Bradley Beal has been cleared to return, while Kevin Durant (ankle) is considered questionable. Allen has been terrific for the Suns and is shooting 46.8 percent from beyond the arc this season.
