Washington Wizards

Washington Wizards guard Jordan Poole (illness) won't be in the lineup on Friday against Chicago. The team has downgraded him from questionable to out. Poole's absence is good news for Jared Butler and Johnny Davis, who should receive a big boost in playing time, as there aren't many backcourt options left for the Wizards. There's also a possibility for the rest of the squad to get up more shots without Poole, who's averaging close to 20 attempts for the month.

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.

Washington Wizards forward/center Marvin Bagley III (knee) will miss his fifth consecutive game due to a knee sprain and this will be his 32nd missed game of the season. Since this is the last game of the year for the Wizards, fantasy managers and those creating DFS lineups can safely drop Bagley until next season. He ended the year averaging 11.7 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.1 assists, and 1.2 turnovers per game across 50 total appearances and 25 starts for the Wizards and Detroit Pistons. On Friday, since Richaun Holmes (toe) is questionable, the safer streaming option would be Anthony Gill for big-man stats, but he's an overall risky option.

Washington Wizards center Richaun Holmes (toe) has been tagged as questionable ahead of their Friday night matchup with the Chicago Bulls. The veteran big man has been a mainstay on the injury report this year, so his status has been even more difficult to judge as the season has come to a close. He hasn't played in the last seven consecutive games and it seems he would more than likely miss an eighth since the Wizards are more concerned with getting the best draft pick possible. If he's watching from the sidelines again, Anthony Gill would be the best big as a streaming option, but is a very risky selection, especially in DFS lineups.

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (ankle) won't play on Friday versus the Bulls. He'll now miss a fourth consecutive contest, and with the Wizards down to two games left in the 2023-24 campaign, his season is likely over. With Tyus Jones (back) out and Jordan Poole (illness) questionable, Deni Advija and Corey Kispert may be the go-to offensive options for the Wizards on Friday night. There would also be room for Anthony Gill and Patrick Baldwin Jr. to get more involved, with the duo combining for 30 points in Tuesday's loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
