Washington Wizards DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Washington Wizards guard Jordan Poole (illness) has received a questionable tag on Friday as he continues to deal with a non-COVID illness that kept him from playing against the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday. Poole hasn't been able to post the type of numbers that everyone expected this season, but he remains the team's starting two-guard. The 24-year-old is averaging 16.5 points, 3.4 assists, 2.2 rebounds, 1.0 steals, and 2.2 turnovers per game while shooting 41.4% from the floor and 31.2% from three. At this rate, he hasn't been the most helpful fantasy player, so fantasy managers will want to have a backup plan ready and check back ahead of tipoff to see if he sheds the questionable status.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Malcolm Brogdon (knee) is available ahead of Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Brogdon was uncertain coming into the second game of this back-to-back set. He has been dealing with a right knee issue lately. Despite that, Brogdon will play and is expected to have his normal role in the rotation. Fantasy managers can go ahead and get Brogdon back in their lineups for Monday's game.

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Khris Middleton (knee) didn't suit up for their game on Saturday against the New Orleans Pelicans since he's still not playing both games of a back-to-back right now. The team is still trying to load manage his knee to make sure he's healthy come playoff time. He has since been removed from the injury report and will take the floor against the Denver Nuggets on Monday night. The 32-year-old may not be enjoying the same level of a season that he's used to, but over the last four games, he's averaged 20.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 1.8 steals, 1.3 turnovers, and 2.0 made threes per game. He's still a playable player in all fantasy leagues and formats whenever he's healthy.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Malcolm Brogdon (knee) received another questionable tag on Sunday for their game against the Chicago Bulls. He's listed with a knee contusion, which forced him to miss their last game on Friday against the San Antonio Spurs. The injury came after he played over 40 minutes in an overtime win against the Houston Rockets. In that contest, he posted 19 points, six assists, two rebounds, and two turnovers. If he's able to play against Chicago, he is a solid start in all fantasy formats. If he has to watch from the sidelines, however, Scoot Henderson (quad) could be a solid streamer if he plays, otherwise, Jabari Walker, Matisse Thybulle, and Toumani Camara would get some more opportunities.

Portland Trail Blazers guard Malcolm Brogdon (knee) is listed as questionable heading into Friday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. Brogdon is a late addition to the injury report due to a right knee contusion. This is a shame considering is providing top-75 fantasy value in 9-cat leagues over the last two weeks. If he sits, Matisse Thybulle would likely move into the starting five. Anfernee Simons would probably shift to the point guard spot, while Scoot Henderson would have a bigger role as well.
