Washington Wizards

Washington Wizards center Marvin Bagley III (back) won't play on Thursday against Houston. He's dealing with back spasms and has already missed four games. At this rate, the chance of him sitting out the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign continues to grow, primarily since the Wizards have already been eliminated from Play-In contention. With Richaun Holmes (toe) questionable, Kyle Kuzma could continue to hold things down in the middle, with Corey Kispert remaining in the starting lineup. Kispert had 22 points in Tuesday's loss to the Grizzlies and will be a popular DFS value option if he rolls with the first five again on Thursday night.

Washington Wizards center Richaun Holmes (toe) has appeared on the injury report again as questionable while he deals with a big toe sprain on his left foot. The 30-year-old big man has missed the team's last two games and is now in danger of missing a third. Since joining the Wizards, he's averaged 5.9 points and 3.9 rebounds while receiving 14.6 minutes per game. He only appeared in the starting lineup once because Marvin Bagley III (back) is higher in the rotation whenever he plays. If Holmes does suit up, he may be a solid streaming option for some highly efficient points and a few rebounds. On the other hand, if he doesn't play, the Wizards will likely go small again with Bilal Coulibaly and Deni Avdija playing in the frontcourt.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Malcolm Brogdon (elbow) will be unavailable for a 16th straight game on Wednesday versus Atlanta. Brogdon is making progress in his recovery from a right elbow injury but remains without a return date. Anfernee Simons and Scoot Henderson will continue to rock as Portland's starting backcourt, with Dalano Banton filling a big role off the bench. Wednesday's matchup will be a good one for the Portland players, as it's a pace-up spot for the team and a meeting with a poor defense. Only Washington (123.7) gives up more points per game than Atlanta (121.5).

Washington Wizards center Richaun Holmes (toe) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup with the Memphis Grizzlies. Marvin Bagley III (back) has missed the last three games, so Holmes had been getting extra work, most recently coming off a 14-point, 11-rebound double-double on Friday in the win over Charlotte. Unfortunately, he's dealing with a big toe sprain and wasn't available on Sunday versus Miami. If Holmes is ruled out on Tuesday, the Wizards will likely keep the lineup smaller than usual, with Kyle Kuzma handling things in the middle. In addition, Corey Kispert, who had 22 points and six boards against the Heat, would remain an ideal fantasy streaming option if Holmes misses a second straight contest.

Washington Wizards center Marvin Bagley III (back) remains out on Tuesday versus Memphis. The 24-year-old suffered a back injury during a meeting with the Utah Jazz and has missed the last three games. Richaun Holmes (toe) had been getting extra work. However, Holmes is battling a big toe sprain, so he may not be available against the Grizzlies, either. If that's the case, the Wizards will likely play small, meaning Kyle Kuzma will slide over to the five spot, with Corey Kispert, who is coming off a 22-point effort, the favorite to remain in the starting lineup.
