Washington Wizards DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (ankle) is listed as probable for Saturday's matchup against Atlanta. He's set to make his fourth consecutive appearance, although the team hasn't yet fully confirmed his availability. Middleton has notched 14.8 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 7.2 assists in 31.4 minutes since returning from an ankle injury a couple of weeks back. A clash with the Hawks is one of the best fantasy matchups a player can get, so Middleton shouldn't disappoint managers on Saturday if he's in the lineup.

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.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (ankle) is expected to play on Thursday against the Pelicans. The veteran was sidelined for over a month because of a sprained ankle. However, he's been back in the lineup in four of Milwaukee's previous five games. Middleton has had a few solid showings since his return. But he scored only 12 points in Tuesday's double-overtime loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. At any rate, his fantasy ceiling is still higher than most. Yet, the 32-year-old is not as consistent as he used to be.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (ankle) is probable for Tuesday's matchup against the Lakers. He's only just returned from a lengthy absence, and the team wants to be careful with Middleton's workload. But Milwaukee had the day off on Monday, and there's no back-to-back in sight, clearing the way for Middleton to play. The three-time All-Star is fresh off his second career triple-double, having picked up 11 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists against Oklahoma City on Sunday. Middleton is averaging 18.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 7.7 assists in 28.3 minutes since his return.

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.
