According to Suns head coach Mike Budenholzer, Beal is progressing in his recovery from a strained hamstring. However, he has not done any 5-on-5 work, so the Suns' guard will not play on Wednesday. Collin Gillespie has filled the void in the starting lineup, but he's been more valuable to Phoenix than to fantasy managers. Also, Ryan Dunn's fantasy ceiling has been raised, making him worth a look in deep leagues.
Beal (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Celtics, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Based on the timeline provided at the time of his injury, Beal is due to be re-evaluated on Monday. However, he has already been ruled out for that night's game against the Bucks. Ryan Dunn should continue to fill in as Beal's replacement in the starting lineup, and the rookie has provided 10th-round value in eight-cat formats over the past week.
Allen has missed the Suns' last five games but could return against Cleveland. With Bradley Beal (hamstring) sidelined, Allen could move into the starting lineup and bump Collin Gillespie to the bench. Even if Gillespie continues to start, Allen's return would cut into his minutes.
Booker's 41 points were the most he's had in a game since dropping 47 against the Jazz on February 7. The 28-year-old shooting guard has had at least 27 points in back-to-back games since going 6-of-17 from the field against the Lakers on Sunday. With Bradley Beal still dealing with a hamstring injury, Booker and Kevin Durant will continue to run the show for Phoenix.
