Washington Wizards DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Washington Wizards forward/center Richaun Holmes (toe) will return from a three-game absence on Saturday against Chicago. He has recovered from a toe sprain and should jump straight into the starting unit, with Washington lacking options at center. Holmes has notched a double-double in each of his past two starts. He will face a tough challenge on the boards against Nikola Vucevic and Andre Drummond on Saturday, but Holmes has always been a good per-minute producer, and he should get all the minutes he can handle, as Marvin Bagley III (back) remains out of the lineup.

Washington Wizards center Richaun Holmes (toe) has been listed as questionable again for Saturday night against the Chicago Bulls. The veteran big man has missed the last three games while dealing with a sprained big toe and is now in danger of missing a fourth in a row. If he can suit up, Holmes would take the starting center spot again. They've been rolling with a small-ball lineup in their starting five with Deni Avdija (knee), Corey Kispert, and Kyle Kuzma in the frontcourt. Since Avdija is also listed as questionable, Holmes could be in line for an even bigger role if he misses the game. Kuzma and Kispert would be the biggest beneficiaries if Holmes has to remain sidelined.

Washington Wizards center Richaun Holmes (toe) won't play on Thursday against the Houston Rockets. He has already missed two games because of a big toe strain and was listed as questionable heading into the contest, so he appeared to at least have a chance to return. However, he's still not ready to go, meaning his next opportunity to suit up will be Saturday in Chicago. With Marvin Bagley III (back) also sidelined, Kyle Kuzma will likely continue to hold things down in the middle. Corey Kispert, coming off an impressive 22-point effort in Tuesday's loss to Memphis, is worth streaming in any fantasy format. Kispert is also an ideal value option in DFS contests.

Washington Wizards center Richaun Holmes (toe) has appeared on the injury report again as questionable while he deals with a big toe sprain on his left foot. The 30-year-old big man has missed the team's last two games and is now in danger of missing a third. Since joining the Wizards, he's averaged 5.9 points and 3.9 rebounds while receiving 14.6 minutes per game. He only appeared in the starting lineup once because Marvin Bagley III (back) is higher in the rotation whenever he plays. If Holmes does suit up, he may be a solid streaming option for some highly efficient points and a few rebounds. On the other hand, if he doesn't play, the Wizards will likely go small again with Bilal Coulibaly and Deni Avdija playing in the frontcourt.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. This marks the 16th game in a row that Middleton has missed due to a left ankle sprain. The Bucks have not given a timetable for Middleton's return, so fantasy managers will have to be patient. That being said, Jae Crowder should remain in the starting five and have increased fantasy value going forward.
