Washington Wizards

Washington Wizards forward/center Richaun Holmes (toe) will sit out a second consecutive contest on Sunday versus the Heat. He was labeled as questionable on the initial injury report, but the team has now officially ruled him out. This should mean another start for Marvin Bagley III, who's coming off a 15-point, 11-rebound double-double performance against Detroit. He finds himself in a much tougher matchup on Sunday versus four-time All-Defense Second Team member Bam Adebayo.

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (heel) won't take the court against Miami on Sunday. After recently battling a shoulder injury, Kuzma has now been taken out of the lineup with a heel contusion. Patrick Baldwin Jr. could be looking at starter's duty without Kuzma on Sunday, while his absence is set to secure a lot of shots for Jordan Poole and Deni Avdija. As this is a matchup against a team that has the seventh-best defensive rating in the league, Washington likely has to work extra hard to score on Sunday.

Washington Wizards center Richaun Holmes (toe) will miss Friday's matchup with Detroit. Holmes left Wednesday's contest against the Nets due to a left toe contusion. With Holmes sidelined, Marvin Bagley III will likely be the starting center. In Holmes's absence, forwards Anthony Gill, Patrick Baldwin, and Tristan Vukcevic should see an uptick in minutes on the court. However, these three players will make little of an impact in DFS on Friday.

Washington Wizards guard Jordan Poole (ankle) has been upgraded from questionable to available for Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Poole is good to go despite a sprained right ankle, and he should play his normal allotment of minutes. Although the 24-year-old combo guard has been a massive disappointment during his first season in D.C., he's trending up in the absence of starting floor general Tyus Jones (back). Through his past six appearances (five starts), Poole is averaging 19.0 points, 5.0 dimes, 1.5 steals, and 2.7 three-pointers in 29.8 minutes and remains worth starting in all points formats for the start of the fantasy semifinals. His matchup outlook would brighten significantly if Alex Caruso (ankle) sits out; no team has given up fewer DraftKings points to opposing point guards than the Bulls in 2023-24.

Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (shoulder) is out Monday against the Chicago Bulls due to left shoulder soreness. He had suited up for the last two Wizards tilts. Patrick Baldwin and Corey Kispert will likely see more action with the 28-year-old Kuzma sidelined. Washington could have seven players out with injuries for Monday's matchup, with 27-year-old guard Jordan Poole (ankle) listed as questionable.
