Phoenix Suns DFS Spin
Kevin Durant (right hamstring soreness) has been ruled out for Wednesday’s game against the Clippers.
Durant will miss a second consecutive game with the hamstring issue and remains day-to-day. Chimezie Metu should stay in the starting lineup, and he’s emerged as a solid deep-league streamer. Devin Booker and Bradley Beal will be the top offensive options for the Suns with Durant sidelined.
