Washington Wizards guard Jordan Poole (ankle) received a questionable tag for their game against the Chicago Bulls on Monday. The 24-year-old has only been forced to miss two games all year and is in danger of missing a third. Even though his play hasn't been as consistent as everyone hoped, his health has been more consistent than most guards around the league. Poole has even moved back into the starting five recently since Tyus Jones (back) has been sidelined. If he's unable to suit up this time, however, Jared Butler would move into the starting lineup while Johnny Davis should see extra minutes off of the bench.
Washington Wizards guard Jordan Poole (hip) will play against the Toronto Raptors on Saturday. The Wizards are officially eliminated from Play-In contention, so it's somewhat surprising Poole is available. But he's good to go for a matchup with another of the league's struggling teams. The 24-year-old has averaged 18.3 points and 4.2 assists in March, his best stretch of the 2023-24 campaign. However, with the injury, Poole could see limited action.
Washington Wizards forward/center Marvin Bagley III (back) isn't on the injury report ahead of Saturday's contest against Toronto, suggesting he's available to return to the lineup. The 25-year-old has missed nine of the most recent games while dealing with a back problem. Bagley III has been Washington's starting center over the final stretch of the season, registering four double-doubles in his last nine appearances. His return is bad news for Richaun Holmes, who's set to be relegated to the bench. The comeback comes at a juicy spot, as Toronto is a bottom-tier rebounding team and allows centers to shoot over 58 percent from the field.
Washington Wizards guard Jordan Poole (hip) is questionable for Saturday's clash versus Toronto. The former Warrior has suffered a hip contusion, which could take Poole out of the lineup for the first time since Jan. 31. All of the last four games have been starts for Poole, who has stepped in for Tyus Jones (back). Jones is out again on Saturday, giving Poole extra fantasy value. However, apart from a 31-point performance against Boston, Poole has struggled in his most recent starts and could easily leave fantasy managers disappointed again on Saturday.
Washington Wizards forward Kyle Kuzma (shoulder) isn't on the injury report ahead of Thursday's encounter with the Kings. He's been absent for a pair of games with a shoulder injury but appears to be ready to rejoin the action in a favorable fantasy matchup. Deni Avdija (knee) is questionable for the game, meaning Kuzma could be the only regular starter in the lineup. He's set to do a lot of heavy lifting offensively, along with Jordan Poole. Kuzma produced 27 points, eight rebounds, and one block in 29 minutes against Sacramento in this season's first head-to-head meeting between the teams.
