Suns' Bradley Beal: Questionable for Wednesday
Beal is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nets, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports.
Beal and Kevin Durant (calf/rest) both returned from multi-game absences Tuesday and played well as the Suns beat the Lakers by 27 points. Durant is expected to play in the second half of Phoenix's back-to-back set, but Beal's availability is up in the air. If Beal doesn't play, Ryan Dunn and Royce O'Neale would be candidates for increased roles again.

Suns' Tyus Jones: Records five steals
Jones closed with eight points (4-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound, six assists and five steals across 33 minutes during Tuesday's 127-100 victory over the Lakers.
With Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal back in the mix, it's inevitable that Jones will see lower usage rates going forward. This was Jones' seventh game of his career with at least five steals, and he'll continue to be a hold in most fantasy formats for his playmaking and elite steal rate going forward.

Suns' Devin Booker: Logs third double-double of season
Booker closed Tuesday's 127-100 win over the Lakers with 26 points (10-17 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, 10 assists, one block and one steal over 34 minutes.
Booker was relieved of his heavy load with the returns of Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal, and the restored lineup immediately gave Booker's assist total a boost. He logged double-digit assists for the first time in six games, highlighting the alignment of Durant and Beal to Booker's success in the category.

Suns' Bradley Beal: Posts 23 points in return to action
Beal (calf) totaled 23 points (10-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one block across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 127-100 win over the Lakers.
Beal and Kevin Durant (calf) were back in action after five- and seven-game absences, respectively, with their returns providing a jolt to the top unit and helping the Suns end their five-game losing streak in emphatic fashion. While the blowout naturally suppressed Beal's playing time, the 31-year-old was dialed in from the field and from beyond the arc in his return. The Suns will wrap up their back-to-back set with a game Wednesday against the Nets, and it's possible that Beal could sit out for maintenance purposes or have his minutes monitored in that contest.

Suns' Kevin Durant: Returns with 23 points
Durant (calf) contributed 23 points (9-17 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and two assists over 30 minutes during Tuesday's 127-100 win over the Lakers.
The Suns were back to full strength Tuesday with Durant and Bradley Beal (calf) returning from seven- and five-game absences, respectively. Though head coach Mike Budenholzer suggested prior to the game that Durant would be under a playing-time restriction, the star forward logged 30 minutes before checking out of the game for good with 3:10 remaining in the fourth quarter of the blowout. Based on how Durant fared in his return, fantasy managers can feel confident in his outlook moving forward, though the 36-year-old could be a candidate to sit out or have his minutes managed Wednesday against the Nets in the second leg of a back-to-back set.

O'Neale will come off the bench in Tuesday's game against the Lakers, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
With Kevin Durant (calf) returning from a seven-game absence, O'Neale will slide to the bench. The 31-year-old forward has averaged 8.4 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.0 steals across 24.4 minutes per game in his last five outings (two starts). O'Neale will likely still see significant playing time as both Durant and Bradley Beal (calf) will operate under a minutes restriction.

Suns' Kevin Durant: Good to go Tuesday
Durant (calf) is available for Tuesday's game against the Lakers.
Durant will snap a seven-game absence streak due to a left calf strain and play in Tuesday's NBA Cup matchup. However, coach Mike Budenholzer said Tuesday that the superstar will operate under a minutes restriction, according to Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com. In his last five outings, Durant has averaged 26.4 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.2 blocks while shooting 57.0 percent from the field across 38.0 minutes per game.
