NBC SportsTyus Jones, Devin Booker, Grayson Allen, Royce O'Neale, and Nick Richards will start Wednesday's game against the Thunder.

Phoenix will not have Kevin Durant for Wednesday's game. He has been ruled out due to a sprained left ankle. Allen will fill the resulting void, while O'Neale replaces Ryan Dunn. Despite the challenging matchup, Allen and O'Neale are worth streaming as starters.

NBC SportsNick Richards logged 24 minutes in Friday's win over Golden State, accumulating 14 points (6-of-8 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 16 rebounds, one assist, and two blocked shots.

Richards has hit double figures in rebounds four times since being traded to Phoenix, recording a double-double in three. While the 11th-round value in 8-cat formats since the move hasn't been great, that has more to do with Richards' limited defensive production than anything else. Managers looking for rebounding and a high field goal percentage should add the Suns center, who's rostered in 42% of Yahoo leagues.

NBC SportsTyus Jones, Devin Booker, Ryan Dunn, Kevin Durant, and Nick Richards will start Friday's game against the Warriors.

After playing nine minutes in his return from a sprained left ankle on Wednesday, Dunn is back in the starting lineup. The rookie's promotion means Royce O'Neale will come off the bench, cutting into the veteran wing's fantasy value. Expect to see Dunn spend most of his time chasing after Stephen Curry.

NBC SportsIvica Zubac led the Clippers with 25 points (12-of-17 FGs), 16 rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block in a 111-109 loss to the Suns on Monday.

Center has been a weak point for the Suns this season, and while the addition of Nick Richards has helped, their collective unit had no answer for Zubac. He set a new season-high for points and had his 15th game with at least 15 rebounds this season. It wasn't enough to get the win, but Zubac was able to provide fantasy managers with an excellent start to the week. They have three more games this week, with a matchup in San Antonio up next on Wednesday. Zubac only had five points and seven rebounds in 22 minutes in a blowout loss in their other matchup with the Spurs this season.

NBC SportsTyus Jones, Devin Booker, Royce O'Neale, Kevin Durant, and Nick Richards will start Monday's game against the Clippers.

The Suns are without Ryan Dunn, who will miss Monday's game with a sprained left ankle. Suns coach Mike Budenholzer has decided to continue prioritizing defense with that spot in the starting lineup. O'Neale receives the starting nod, with Bradley Beal continuing to come off the bench. O'Neale is worth streaming as long as he remains in the starting lineup.
