Nash, Shaq out against Hornets New Orleans, LA (Sports Network) - The Phoenix Suns were without two key

Shaquille O'Neal will not be in the lineup for the Suns on Wednesday night against the Hornets, according to the AP.
Our View:The 36-year-old O'Neal is sitting due to rest as the Suns play again at Dallas on Thursday and the veteran does not usually dress in back-to- back games.
Suns point guard Steve Nash probably will not suit up for the team Wednesday night as he is battling flu-like symptoms, according to the Arizona Republic.
Our View:Be sure to adjust your fantasy lineups accordingly. He should be okay relatively soon.
Matt Barnes hit four three-pointers and hit 6-of-8 shots to finish with 18 points and eight rebounds as the Suns fell 117-109 to the Nets.
Our View:Barnes has been a valuable fantasy player this season mostly because of his two-plus three-pointers per game. However, his rebounding numbers are also near the top of small forwards.
