Mason Plumlee

The Suns are without Bradley Beal and Jusuf Nurkic, forcing two changes to the starting lineup. While Ryan Dunn has replaced Beal in the starting lineup in the past, Allen is the choice for Saturday night and offers a much higher fantasy upside. Plumlee replaces Nurkic and is worth a look for field-goal percentage and rebounds.

Beal and Nurkic have been downgraded from questionable to out, opening up two spots in the starting lineup. Ryan Dunn and Mason Plumlee are the likely replacements, with the latter being the one more deserving of streaming consideration. Beal's absence will also boost Royce O'Neale's value, and he's a better streamer than Dunn.

Plumlee replaced the injured Jusuf Nurkic in the starting lineup on Saturday, not providing much value beyond the rebounds and blocks. Rookie Oso Ighodaro figured more prominently in the rotation, logging 31 minutes and finishing with six points, eight rebounds, and two blocked shots. The Suns are off until Tuesday, which may be enough time for Nurkic to get back into the lineup. If so, Plumlee's streaming value will be erased.

If Nurk is forced to miss this game, Mason Plumlee will likely get the starting nod in his place. Rookie Oso Ighodaro may also see some extra minutes, but unless he starts, he likely won't play enough to be worth streaming.

Nurkic was back on the court after sitting out Monday's loss to the Magic, replacing Mason Plumlee in the starting lineup. Nurk recorded a complete stat line against the Knicks, good news for fantasy managers who have been waiting for him to break out. While his fantasy value remains disappointing, nights like Wednesday are why Nurkic remains rostered in nearly 90% of Yahoo leagues.
