Deni Avdija DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Washington Wizards forward Deni Avdija (knee) is available for Thursday's game against the Sacramento Kings. A right knee contusion cost Avdija Washington's prior three outings, but the fourth-year forward is cleared to play on Thursday. Avdija has reached double scoring figures in each of his last eight appearances, averaging 16.6 points, 9.4 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.0 steals, and 1.0 three-pointers over this period. A 237.5-point implied total matches the highest figure on Thursday's seven-game slate, which should give the 23-year-old playmaker plenty of opportunities to rack up counting stats for a Wizards club missing starting point guard Tyus Jones (back).

Washington Wizards forward Deni Avdija (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's meeting with the visiting Kings. He's averaged a career-high 14.0 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 3.7 assists this season, so Washington has been without a vital piece of the offense. But if the 23-year-old doesn't return versus Sacramento, Corey Kispert, who had 16 points in Tuesday's loss to the Houston Rockets, remains a must-start fantasy option in all formats.

Washington Wizards forward Deni Avdija (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Houston Rockets. This doesn't come as shocking news after Avdija was a late scratch ahead of Sunday's contest. His absence opened up a spot for Corey Kispert in the starting five on Sunday. He didn't play well during that game, but Kispert is worth a look as a streaming option while Avdija is out.

Washington Wizards forward Deni Avdija (knee) will sit out a second consecutive game on Sunday versus Boston. He was a late scratch on Saturday against Chicago and will miss another game with a right knee contusion. Avdija's absence is set to give Corey Kispert another start. He was Washington's top scorer on Saturday with 16 points and has done well for several weeks now. Kispert's numbers as a starter this season stand at 15.6 points, 2.4 rebounds, and 2.6 assists.

Washington Wizards forward Deni Avdija (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, Avdija was ruled out minutes before tip-off on Saturday. Instead, Corey Kispert will move into the starting five with Avdija unavailable for this game. A shift to the starting five should give Kispert a solid fantasy boost for Saturday's slate.
