Washington Wizards DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Washington Wizards guard Marcus Smart (illness) will suit up on Saturday versus the Wizards after missing the last two games. The 31-year-old has averaged only 10.1 points in 12 games since arriving in Washington ahead of the trade deadline. However, with Malcolm Brogdon (ankle), Bilal Coulibaly (hamstring), Kyshawn George (ankle), and Khris Middleton (knee) ruled out, Smart has a better chance of doing something meaningful for fantasy managers.

Washington Wizards guardMarcus Smart(illness) will be out of action against the Indiana Pacers on Thursday. Smart also sat out during Wednesday's contest due to a finger issue, but an illness will keep him off the floor for tonight's game. The 31-year-old veteran guard's absence won't impact fantasy much this evening as he is averaging 9.2 points, 2.2 rebounds, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.2 steals this season. His next chance to get back on the floor is Saturday versus Brooklyn.

Washington Wizards guardMalcolm Brogdon(ankle) will be out of action against the Indiana Pacers on Thursday. Brogdon will miss his 19th consecutive contest due to a sprained left ankle. The 32-year-old injury occurred right before the All-Star break, and he has not seen any action since play resumed. He's only played in 24 games this season, averaging 12.7 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 4.1 assists in 23.5 minutes per game. His next chance to return to the floor is Saturday against the Brooklyn Nets.

Washington Wizards forward/center Anthony Gill (hip) has been upgraded to available ahead of tip-off on Wednesday against the Philadelphia 76ers. He was listed as questionable on the initial injury report due to left hip soreness. Gill did not play in the previous game against the Toronto Raptors, but he has recently been a regular in the rotation, averaging 7.8 points and 2.8 rebounds in 19.7 minutes over his last four appearances. With the Wizards' lineup thin, Gill could see considerable action again on Wednesday, but he does not produce enough fantasy value.

Washington Wizards guard Jordan Poole (elbow) is good to go for Wednesday's matchup against the Utah Jazz. Poole's status has been upgraded a couple of times throughout the day, going from doubtful to available. The talented scorer has had a good campaign in Washington, but the team has recently begun limiting Poole's minutes, which means fantasy managers aren't getting full value out of him. This month, Poole has averaged only 24.2 minutes per game, putting up 18.3 points while registering 2.8 rebounds and 3.3 assists.
