Mason Plumlee

Durant and Nurkic will be back, but with Bradley Beal (knee) sidelined, O'Neale will remain in the starting unit. Mason Plumlee will return to the bench, and Grayson Allen should also take on extra minutes off the bench.

Nurkic practiced fully on Wednesday, which was a good sign that he was progressing. Now, he's officially been cleared to return to the lineup. He should take back over as the team's starting center, which will eliminate any streaming value that Mason Plumlee or Oso Ighodaro held.

Nurkic has been out for around two weeks. Mason Plumlee and Oso Ighodaro have filled in at center for Phoenix with neither of them offering much in terms of fantasy value.

Plumlee didn't do much as a scorer on Thursday, but the Suns didn't need him to. The rebounds, assists, and blocks were fine as he started for the injured Jusuf Nurkic, but the few who streamed Plumlee took a hit in the free-throw percentage category. Oso Ighodaro, who started against the Spurs on Tuesday, finished Thursday's loss with four points, two rebounds, and one assist in 20 minutes off the bench.

The Suns have made two changes to the quintet that started Tuesday's win over the Spurs, one of which was prompted by an injury. O'Neale will replace Kevin Durant, while Plumlee will replace rookie Oso Ighodaro. O'Neale has deep-league streaming value, while Plumlee may be in a timeshare with Ighodaro.
