Jusuf Nurkic - Still out Wednesday Nurkic (conditioning) is out for Wednesday's game against the Nets.

Impact After Nurkic missed seven consecutive games with an illness, the Suns are now listing him as out due to return-to-play conditioning. His next chance to return comes Saturday against the Wizards, although it's unclear how he'll mix into Phoenix's rotation once healthy. Nick Richards has taken over as the team's new starting center, and veteran Mason Plumlee should work as the backup big man until Nurkic is cleared to play.

Bradley Beal - Iffy for Wednesday Beal (ankle) has been listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nets.

Impact After logging 25 minutes off the bench in Monday's loss to the Cavaliers, Beal is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Nets. The veteran guard had a solid start in his new role but has struggled lately, coming off a forgettable five-point performance against Cleveland.

Tristan Thompson - Pulls down 10 rebounds Thompson contributed one point (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-4 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 26 minutes during Monday's 118-92 victory over the Suns.

Impact Thompson made just his 18th appearance of the season Monday and put together his best rebounding performance so far. He took advantage of some garbage time in the win, but with Evan Mobley (calf) considered day-to-day, Thompson is bound to be on the outside of the rotation sooner rather than later.

Sam Merrill - Scores 10 points Merrill notched 10 points (3-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and two steals across 22 minutes during Monday's 118-92 win over Phoenix.

Impact Caris LeVert (wrist), Isaac Okoro (shoulder) and Evan Mobley (calf) were all sidelined Monday, allowing Merrill to step into a larger role. Despite a strong showing Monday, fantasy managers shouldn't overreact just yet -- Merrill is hitting 37.3 percent from the field this season with averages of 6.6 points, 1.7 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.7 three-pointers.
