Richaun Holmes DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Washington Wizards centerRichaun Holmes (knee) is unavailable for Wednesday's matchup with the Utah Jazz. Holmes will miss his first game since January 25th due to a knee issue. The 31-year-old's next chance to get back in the lineup is Saturday against the Raptors. With Holmes out of action, 19-year-old rookie Alexandre Sarr (ankle) will be provided extra minutes and possibly a boost in fantasy production this evening. Tristan Vukcevic could also see an expanded role in the contest.

Washington Wizards center Richaun Holmes declined his $12.8 million player option. However, he has agreed to a new two-year, $25.9 million contract to remain with the Wizards. The 30-year-old averaged double-digit scoring in three of his four seasons with the Sacramento Kings. Since then, he struggled to find a meaningful role in Dallas and Washington. Although Holmes adds depth to a rebuilding team, he will likely have issues getting on the floor moving ahead, which won't improve his fantasy value for the 2024-25 campaign.

Washington Wizards forward/center Richaun Holmes (toe) won't be able to return to the lineup on Friday against Chicago. The team has downgraded Holmes from questionable to out, meaning an eighth consecutive absence for him. Tristan Vukcevic is available again on Friday and should make another start in a decent matchup. The 21-year-old has looked very promising in his first few outings in the NBA, averaging 14.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks in three previous starts.
