Abdel Nader Fantasy Stats

Phoenix Suns small/power forward Abdel Nader has become the latest member of his team to join the league's health and safety protocols, ruling him out indefinitely, beginning Wednesday vs. Oklahoma City. The plan was for Nader to miss Wednesday's game regardless, but a longer absence could now be on tap as he works his way back from a knee ailment. Playing a lightly utilized role within the second unit when healthy, Nader has yet to play more than 18 minutes in an outing this year, keeping him off of fantasy radars in all season-long formats. Cameron Johnson stands to continue seeing a large offensive role for the time being.

Phoenix Suns guard Abdel Nader (knee) is listed as probable for Tuesday's Game 5 matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers. He was able to suit up for Game 4, but played only five minutes during that contest. Nader finished with two rebounds, but this was his first NBA action since late March. Hopefully, Nader will be able to suit up on Tuesday, but don't expect him to play a big role in Phoenix. He'll probably play a handful of minutes if possible, but it's better than nothing.

Phoenix Suns guard Abdel Nader (knee) has been cleared to play and is expected to be available for Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals. The 27-year-old has been absent since March after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery. While conditioning could be an issue, he may be thrust into a larger role against Los Angeles, primarily if Cameron Payne (ankle) can't play and with Monty Williams looking to keep Chris Paul's minutes in check. Nader averaged just 6.7 points during the regular season. However, the upside is certainly there for the DFS managers looking to take a chance in GPP formats.

Phoenix Suns small forward Abdel Nader (knee) had arthroscopic right knee surgery completed Monday, which puts him out for the foreseeable future. Injuries have torpedoed Nader's season, as he has played in just 24 games for the Suns, all of which have come off the bench. Despite having shot a career-best 49.1 percent from the floor (including 41.9 percent from behind the arc), Nader has averaged just 6.7 PPG and had difficulty keeping his spot within the second unit. Check back to see if Phoenix is able to get the defensive-minded wing back by the postseason.

Phoenix Suns small/power forward Abdel Nader (thumb) has been cleared to play in Wednesday's contest versus the Hornets. Nader has seen his role with the second unit decrease over the past six games, averaging just 5.1 minutes on a nightly basis. His lack of consistent playing time means that he has little chance to impact the game from a fantasy perspective, forcing him to the waiver wire in all season-long formats. With Nader active, the Suns find themselves at full strength for Wednesday's game.

Phoenix Suns small/power forward Abdel Nader (thumb) has been listed as questionable to play in Wednesday's game versus the Hornets as he battles a sprained left thumb. Nader has seen his minutes crater over the past six contests as Phoenix has returned to full strength on the wings, providing Cameron Johnson and Jae Crowder with ample minutes. Having combined for just 15 points in a six-game stretch since returning from injury, Nader can remain firmly entrenched on the waiver wire in all season-long formats.

Phoenix Suns small forward Abdel Nader (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest versus the Bucks due to a persistent ankle injury. Nader will have now missed three games in a row, with E'Twaun Moore a candidate to potentially snag extra minutes in Nader's absence. Despite having been aggressively offensively during his run with the second unit, Nader has not contributed enough across the stat sheet to earn season-long fantasy consideration at this stage. His next chance to take the floor comes Saturday against Philadelphia.

Phoenix Suns forward Abdel Nader (ankle) is off the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. With Jae Crowder (foot) out, Nader could see 20 minutes or so off the bench. He's not on the fantasy radar in season-long leagues, but there's some appeal as a super-cheap DFS punt play on the night slate.

Phoenix Suns forward Abdel Nader (ankle) is listed as available to play on Wednesday against the Pelicans. Nader missed the last game but has posted solid numbers in seven games this season. He's averaging 8.1 points and 3.6 rebounds per game while shooting 43.8 percent from deep. Nader has some appeal as a DFS value play in this one as he should be on the floor for 20-plus minutes, though the ankle issue is definitely a concern.

Phoenix Suns small forward Abdel Nader (ankle) has been tagged as questionable to play in Wednesday's contest versus New Orleans due to a sore left ankle. Nader missed the team's most recent game due to the ailment, as he had taken on an increased role with Devin Booker out of the mix. Now that Booker is back for Phoenix, even if Nader gets the green light to play Wednesday, he'll carry very little season-long or DFS appeal as a reserve.
