Kevin Durant (hamstring) remains out for Suns on Friday

Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant (hamstring) will not play in Friday's contest against the Miami Heat.

What It Means:

Durant is inactive for his third straight game after suffering an ankle injury. Expect Chimezie Metu to play an increased role versus a Miami team ranked 11th in defensive rating.

Metu's current projection includes 9.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 1.4 assists.
