Suns Injury Report
Gillespie (ankle) won't play Friday against Dallas. Gillespie hasn't seen any game action since Oct. 26 due to a fractured right ankle. His next chance to suit up will arrive Saturday against Golden State.
Bol (knee) won't play Friday against the Mavericks. Bol will miss another matchup while dealing with a bruised knee. His next chance to take the court will arrive Saturday against the Warriors.
Allen (concussion) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Mavericks. Allen will miss his third straight matchup while in the league's concussion protocol. His next opportunity to suit up will arrive Saturday at Golden State.
Booker (groin) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Dallas. Booker will miss his fourth consecutive outing due to a left groin strain, and his next chance to return will come Saturday against the Warriors. The star shooting guard has done some on-court work and is seemingly preparing to return to game action soon. However, Ryan Dunn and Royce O'Neale are candidates for extended playing time if Booker remains sidelined a bit longer.
Durant posted 27 points (9-26 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 9-9 FT), four rebounds, six assists, two blocks and two steals across 38 minutes during Wednesday's 110-100 victory over the Nuggets. Durant might have needed 26 shots to score 27 points, but he still led the Suns in scoring and filled the stat by recording two or more tallies in each of the five major categories. Durant has been excellent since returning from a three-game absence due to a sprained left ankle, and he's averaging 30.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.5 steals per game in his last six appearances.
Morris notched 11 points (3-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, three assists and two steals across 18 minutes during Wednesday's 110-100 victory over the Nuggets. Morris made the most of his 18 minutes off the bench in this Christmas win and reached double-digit scoring figures for the fourth time this season. That said, he rarely logs more than 20 minutes and isn't very efficient as a shooter, so one strong showing isn't going to dramatically improve his fantasy prospects -- even if the Suns are depleted in their backcourt due to the absence of Devin Booker (groin). Expect Morris to maintain a low-end fantasy upside as long as he remains in this bench role.
Beal supplied 27 points (11-21 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT), two rebounds, four assists, one block and four steals across 38 minutes during Wednesday's 110-100 win over the Nuggets. Beal has been on a tear of late and surpassed the 20-point mark for a third consecutive game Wednesday while ending just one point shy of tying his season-best scoring output. What's even more impressive is the fact that Beal has been shooting the ball at an extremely high clip of late. The veteran guard is averaging 22.0 points per game while making 57.0 percent of his shots, including 53.8 percent of his threes, over his last five outings.
O'Neale is not in the Suns' starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets. O'Neale has been dropped in favor of Ryan Dunn. As a starter this season, O'Neale is averaging 14.1 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 29.8 minutes. In 25.2 minutes as a bench player, he has averaged 9.4 points, 6.1 rebounds and 2.1 assists. Even though a demoted role for O'Neale has been followed up with decreased scoring, his rebounding has been up off the bench, so his overall output may not drop off too much.
