Washington Wizards DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Washington Wizards center Richaun Holmes (toe) is questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Miami Heat. With Marvin Bagley III (back) sidelined of late, Holmes has been getting some work. He most recently amassed a double-double on Friday night versus the Charlotte Hornets. However, Holmes is in danger of missing Sunday's clash with the Heat because of a big toe sprain. That type of injury is never easy on anyone, especially for a player of his stature. As a result, fantasy managers may not have him, which would likely mean Kyle Kuzma will slide over to the five spot and Corey Kispert moving into the starting lineup. But if Holmes plays, he's worth streaming in any fantasy lineup.

According to Milwaukee Bucks head coach Doc Rivers, forward Khris Middleton (ankle) has recently gone through some "hard" practices of late. Fortunately, things have gone well, with Rivers indicating that the 32-year-old is "getting closer" to getting back on the court. Middleton has averaged 14.8 points this season, one of the lowest averages of his career. However, his absence over the last month or so has been felt by fantasy managers. Nonetheless, it appears Middleton could be back within the next week or two. Yet, he will likely be limited early on, meaning it may be a while before he can be trusted to return to starting fantasy lineups.

Milwaukee Bucks guard Khris Middleton (ankle) remains out for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The 32-year-old has missed over a month because of an ankle injury. He has been practicing, which is a good sign. However, it's anyone's guess when Middleton will be back on the floor. But until then, Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) and Damian Lillard should continue to benefit from a production standpoint. But there's room on deep-league fantasy rosters for Malik Beasley until Middleton is healthy, although he's not consistently productive.

Milwaukee Bucks forward Khris Middleton (ankle) will remain sidelined against the Lakers on Friday. The 32-year-old hasn't been available for a month despite practicing with the team at a limited capacity. Jae Crowder has started in place of Middleton and started 16 games this season. Giannis Antetokounmpo (Achilles) is listed as probable for Friday's game. Should the superstar forward be unable to suit up, Crowder will be relied upon to step up.

Washington Wizards guard/forward Corey Kispert will be in the starting five for Wednesday's matchup against the Magic. He's replacing Marvin Bagley III (back) in the first unit. This will be only the third start of the year for Kispert. He's previously put up 15.0 points in 30.5 minutes as a starter, grabbing 2.0 rebounds and dishing out 3.5 assists. The 25-year-old has been in good form recently and boosted his scoring production to 17.3 points last month. The matchup with Orlando has suited him superbly this season, as Kispert has shot a sizzling 56.3 percent from downtown to average 14.3 points in three games.
