Washington Wizards DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

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.

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.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (ankle) is good to go for Sunday's matchup against OKC. He didn't play on Thursday against the Brooklyn Nets to rest the ankle issue that kept him off the floor for over a month. However, the 32-year-old was listed as probable heading into this contest, so most had assumed he'd be available. As always, Middleton should be in any fantasy starting lineup, even with a tough matchup on the horizon.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (ankle) is probable for Sunday's clash with OKC. Middleton missed over a month because of an ankle injury. However, he's appeared in two of the Bucks' previous three games, so he got the night off on Thursday against Brooklyn. That said, the 32-year-old logged 32 minutes in his most recent game. As a result, Middleton is someone to consider for all fantasy formats, including those participating in DFS contests.
