Washington Wizards forward Deni Avdija (heel) is questionable for Tuesday's clash with the Golden State Warriors. He has missed the last two games because of a heel contusion. As a result, Bilal Coulibaly remained in the starting lineup and recorded 11 points, five rebounds, and two steals versus OKC on Friday. Unfortunately, the rookie suffered a pelvic contusion in Sunday's loss to Cleveland and is now out on Tuesday. Nonetheless, if Avdija returns versus the dubs, he should be featured in all fantasy lineups. However, if he misses another game, Corey Kispert (illness) could benefit from a production standpoint, assuming he's cleared to suit up.
Washington Wizards forward Deni Avdia (heel) remains out on Sunday evening versus the Cavaliers. The 23-year-old has a heel contusion, keeping him off the floor for Friday's matchup against OKC. He was questionable, so he's seemingly getting close to returning. But until Avdija is back in the lineup, Bilal Coulibaly, who had 11 points, five boards, and two steals on Friday, is worth streaming.
Portland Trail Blazers forward Jabari Walker (ankle) is available ahead of Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Walker was uncertain coming into this game, but will officially suit up. However, Walker will come off the bench with Toumani Camara, and Deandre Ayton starting on Friday. Fantasy managers who already have Walker rostered should hold him for the moment. The Blazers season is headed in the wrong direction and it wouldn't be shocking to see them give Walker more playing time in the second half.
Washington Wizards forward Deni Avdija (heel) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. This is a bit surprising given that Avdija wasn't included on the most recent injury report. Bilal Coulibaly would normally be the favorite to start, but he's already in the starting five with Jordan Poole being demoted to the bench. That means Landry Shamet would move into the starting unit on Friday. Shamet is a decent scoring option, so he could be worth a look in deep leagues for Friday's game.
Portland Trail Blazers forward Jabari Walker (ankle) has been tagged as questionable for the team's matchup against the Denver Nuggets on Friday night. The 21-year-old has played a bigger role for the Blazers this season as the injuries have piled up and the team continues to look for their building blocks moving forward. Walker is receiving an average of 11 more minutes a night than his rookie season and he has turned that into 8.3 points and 6.4 rebounds per game on 46.9% shooting from the floor. Walker has only missed four games this year and those were back in the beginning of January. Those fantasy managers in deeper leagues who depend on Walker will want to keep tabs leading up to tipoff, but if he doesn't play, Toumani Camara and Duop Reath would likely get some extra minutes.
