Washington Wizards

Washington Wizards guard Jordan Poole (illness) is considered questionable for Friday's contest against the Chicago Bulls. The 24-year-old is currently under the weather with a non-COVID illness and could end up sitting out. Poole has been very productive recently, so his potential absence for fantasy managers would come at an unfortunate time. If he sits out, Jared Butler and Johnny Davis will likely be given more playing time.

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (ankle) is listed as out for Tuesday's contest against the Minnesota Timberwolves. With nothing to play for at this point, the 15-64 Wizards will keep Kuzma out of action for their third straight game due to his sprained right ankle. His next chance to play comes on Friday when Washington hosts the visiting Chicago Bulls. 2021 first-rounder Corey Kispert is shaping up as a "silly season" hero, providing 18.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.9 steals, and 3.1 three-pointers per game through his last nine contests. Kispert should continue handling heavy minutes from the first unit, but it's a dismal matchup in a game with significant blowout risk against a T-Wolves team that's giving up the fewest DraftKings points to opposing shooting guards.

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (ankle) finds himself with a questionable tag ahead of Tuesday's encounter with the Timberwolves. He's played in just one of the past five games, landing on the shelf with a right ankle sprain. Jordan Poole and Deni Avdija have a bigger role on offense without Kuzma. Meanwhile. Corey Kispert has started to see a lot of extra action, reaching the 40-minute plateau three times in the past five games. He's finally found consistency lately, becoming a reliable fantasy option by averaging 19.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 2.8 assists with 3.3 three-pointers through the first few games of the month.

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (ankle) isn't available for Sunday's matchup with the Toronto Raptors. He was initially listed as questionable. But the Wizards have nothing to play for, so Kuzma will sit out. Tyus Jones (back) also won't play, meaning Jordan Poole, Corey Kispert, and Deni Avdija will likely handle most of the scoring for the Wizards, making them ideal DFS options.

Washington Wizards forward/center Marvin Bagley III (knee) remains out for Sunday's matchup with Toronto. The 25-year-old missed the last two games because of a sprained knee. While he hasn't officially been ruled out for the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign, fantasy managers likely won't see him on the floor until next season. With Kyle Kuzma (ankle) and Richaun Holmes (toe) questionable, Tristan Vukcevic, coming off a 17-point, seven-rebound, two-steal effort in Friday's loss to Portland, may continue to remain in the starting lineup.
