Washington Wizards DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (ankle) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Middleton will make his way back to the court after sitting out Monday's contest for rest purposes. The Bucks have decided to shake up their lineups and will move Taurean Prince into their starting five for now. Middleton has been a decent fantasy contributor with a three-game stretch of 20 points or more in late December. His fantasy value and playing time are certainly going to take a hit coming off the bench. Price is a low-end streaming option due to his defensive ability.

Milwaukee Bucks small forward Khris Middleton (ankle) is probable for Wednesday's contest against San Antonio. Middleton sat out Monday's win against Toronto as he continues to manage a bilateral ankle injury. He had previously skipped only the NBA Cup final since making his season debut on Dec. 6. Middleton has generally performed well but was limited to just two points in his last appearance against Portland. If he isn't ready to return, Taurean Prince would likely remain in the starting unit. The veteran wing did a little bit of everything Monday night, finishing with eight points, two rebounds, four assists, three steals, and one block.

Washington Wizards guard Malcolm Brogdon (foot) got the start on Sunday with Jordan Poole (hip) out, but the veteran only played 14 minutes before leaving due to a right foot injury. While Poole and several other key contributors are questionable for Tuesday's game, the Wizards have already ruled Brogdon out. If they play through their questionable tags, Bub Carrington (ankle) and Bilal Coulibaly (illness) would pick up some of Brogdon's usage and production. However, if Carrington, Coulibaly, or Poole are also out, there will be more opportunities available for Jared Butler, Kyshawn George, Corey Kispert, and Justin Champagnie.

Washington Wizards guard Jordan Poole missed Sunday's loss to the Pelicans with a left hip contusion, and he was listed as questionable for Tuesday's home game against the Rockets. Poole has a team-high 28.8% usage rate in his 28 games this season, averaging 21.8 points, 5.0 assists, 2.7 rebounds, and 1.6 steals in 31.2 minutes per contest. Before being sidelined, Poole had at least 25 points in six straight games, and if he returns, he'll have his typical extremely high ceiling. The Wizards' rotation is very uncertain, though, since Poole is joined by Bilal Coulibaly (illness) and Bub Carrington (ankle) as questionable while Malcolm Brogdon (foot) has already been ruled out. If Poole is out, Carrington would fill in, but if he's out as well, Jared Butler and Kyshawn George would be asked to step up once again.

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Khris Middleton (ankle) is expected to remain in the lineup for Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors after being listed as probable. Middleton's ankle surgery from the off-season still requires some management throughout this season, but he's played in the last 12 consecutive games. So far, he averages 12.7 points, 4.4 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.6 threes, and 2.3 turnovers per game with shooting splits of .447/.404/.852. If he can continue to increase his minutes, he should be solid contributor in all fantasy formats.
