Allen has missed the Suns' last two games with a foot injury, and Sunday will push that streak to three. Tyus Jones and Ryan Dunn will play additional minutes, with the latter replacing Royce O'Neale in the starting lineup for Friday's win over the Kings. Neither Jones nor Dunn has been the most reliable fantasy option this season, but the former offers a higher floor.
Richards missed Wednesday's game against the Rockets, which allowed Mason Plumlee to start. It's unclear how the Suns might split up the center minutes between Plumlee and Oso Ighodaro, but neither one is a recommended streaming option.
Allen is expected to miss a second-straight game with this foot injury. Tyus Jones and Ryan Dunn should continue to fill out the reserve minutes on the perimeter, though neither was productive on Wednesday with Allen sidelined.
Beal scored 19 points against the Mavericks last Sunday, but sat out Monday against the Grizzlies with a calf injury. The 31-year-old returned to the court Wednesday and seemed to benefit from Grayson Allen missing the game with a foot injury. Beal had 25 points despite missing all four of his 3-point attempts. It was his best game so far in March, but his fantasy ceiling appears capped outside the top-75, which is where he ranks since the All-Star break.
Richards and Allen were initially doubtful for Wednesday's game, so the status downgrades are unsurprising. The former's absence opens up a spot in the starting lineup, with Mason Plumlee being the player most likely to step up. As for Allen, Ryan Dunn may play rotation minutes in his absence, but there is no need to stream the rookie.
