Tyler Ulis

Tyler Ulis (back) will not play for Suns on Saturday night

Phoenix Suns point guard Tyler Ulis (back) will not play against the Denver Nuggets on Saturday night.

What It Means:

Ulis wasn't expected to play after injuring his back in Wednesday's contest. With Elfrid Payton expected to take over as the Suns' starting point guard, Ulis is probably going to lose a decent chunk of playing time moving forward.

Ulis is averaging 16.4 FanDuel points in 55 games (37 starts) this season. Over the remainder of the year, numberFire's models project him to record 13.6 points, 3.0 rebounds, 4.7 assists, 1.3 steals, and 1.5 3-pointers per game.
