Washington Wizards DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Washington Wizards guard Jordan Poole (hip) is questionable heading into Monday's rematch with the Knicks. The 25-year-old wasn't available when these clubs met on Saturday because of a hip contusion. As a result, Justin Champagnie handled things on the scoring end, finishing with a career-high 31 points with 10 rebounds and two steals. If Poole remains out on Monday night, Champagnie deserves a spot in fantasy lineups, with Bilal Coulibaly, Bub Carrington, and Malcolm Brogdon in line for most scoring chances.

Washington Wizards guard Jordan Poole (hip) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the New York Knicks due to a bruised left hip. Poole has been a key offensive contributor this season, averaging 21.3 points and 31.6 minutes per game. With Poole sidelined, Malcolm Brogdon and Carlton Carrington are expected to start in the backcourt, while Johnny Davis could see increased minutes off the bench. His next opportunity to suit up will come Monday when the Wizards face the Knicks again.

Washington Wizards guard Jordan Poole (hip) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Knicks. He is bothered by a left hip contusion and might have to come out of the lineup for the third time this season. Malcolm Brogdon will likely be Poole's replacement in the first unit if he can't play. Corey Kispert and Jared Butler might also benefit. Brogdon has posted 14.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 3.1 assists in a starting role this season.

Memphis Grizzlies guard Marcus Smart (finger) will miss his third consecutive game with a right index finger injury. The Grizzlies are set to take on the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday night, and Scottie Pippen Jr. looks to be the top streaming option yet again. In games that he receives 20-29 minutes, like the last one against the Toronto Raptors, Pippen averages 11.4 points, 6.0 assists, and 3.9 rebounds per game. Luke Kennard could also serve as an option for fantasy managers looking for three-point production.

Milwaukee Bucks small forward Khris Middleton (ankle) has been labeled as probable for Thursday's matchup against Brooklyn. The veteran has just logged his first couple of starts of the campaign and is expected to make an eighth consecutive regular-season appearance. He missed the recent NBA Cup final with an illness. Middleton looked back to his best in Monday's 112-91 win against Chicago, notching 21 points with five rebounds and five assists in 23 minutes. However, he has offensively benefited from the absences of Giannis Antetokounmpo (back) and Damian Lillard (illness). Both Bucks superstars have been listed as questionable and may return to action on Thursday.
