The Wizards are without Bilal Coulibaly, Khris Middleton and Alex Sarr, with Middleton being the most recent absentee. Carrington, Champagnie and Bagley start with the latter being the best streaming option. While Carrington’s fantasy ceiling has been raised, McCollum should also have the ball in his hands plenty.

With Alex Sarr (adductor) out, Vukčević has played rotation minutes as Marvin Bagley’s backup. While the consistent playing time has been good, Vukčević has not been productive enough to merit being rostered in most fantasy leagues.

Middleton was initially questionable for Saturday’s game. His absence frees up a place in the starting lineup, with Justin Champagnie being the most likely option to fill the void. Champagnie is worthy of consideration in deep leagues but is not a must-stream player.

Siakam remains the top option on the Pacers as they navigate this season without Tyrese Haliburton. The 31-year-old power forward has expanded his game to include three-point shooting and knocked down five threes against the Bulls on Friday. The Pacers are off for the rest of the weekend and have three games on the schedule in Week 8.

Whitmore’s limited role off the bench hasn’t resulted in much fantasy production this season. If he were to miss a game for the first time this year, Jamir Watkins and Malaki Branham would likely see a bump in minutes, though there wouldn’t be a clear streaming option based on Whitmore’s absence.

The 14th-year pro has started all 16 games he’s appeared in so far in his first full season with the Wizards. He’s averaging 10.4 points per game, which is the fewest since his rookie season. Should he be unable to go, Bub Carrington and Justin Champagnie could see more opportunities.

Vukčević has taken on a larger role recently with Alex Sarr (adductor) sidelined. Sarr will remain out on Saturday, so if Vukčević isn’t available to play the reserve center minutes behind Marvin Bagley, Washington will likely have to utilize small-ball lineups, which could feature Anthony Gill or Justin Champagnie at center.

George entered Thursday’s game in a slump, having shot 8-of-28 from the field over the previous three games. He got back on track against the Celtics, but it wasn’t enough to help Washington avoid a 45-point defeat. The recent slump dropped his fantasy value just outside the top-100, but the second-year wing should be fine. He remains someone who has to be rostered in all 12-team leagues, and George will be more valuable later in the season.

Due to the nature of Thursday’s game, with the Wizards losing 146-101, Middleton only played 25 minutes. In a more competitive game, he likely plays more, especially with Bilal Coulibaly and Tre Johnson sidelined due to injury. Rostered in 14 percent of Yahoo! leagues, the veteran forward has been a 12th-round player over the last two weeks. That doesn’t move the needle much in fantasy basketball, especially for a player who isn’t playing both ends of back-to-backs.

McCollum once again led the way offensively for the Wizards, who were on the receiving end of one of the worst beatings in franchise history. And before the NBA season reaches the point where a shutdown is a realistic possibility, the concern for McCollum manager is nights like Thursday. He still played 31 minutes against the Celtics, so all wasn’t lost. But the Wizards being without multiple players capable of trimming the veteran’s workload in a blowout likely ensured that McCollum surpassed 30 minutes.

Sheppard suffered a strained left calf during Wednesday’s loss to the Nuggets and will miss some time.

While Justin Champagnie is available for Thursday’s game, he has been bumped from the Wizards’ starting lineup in favor of Watkins. A second-round pick, the rookie wing will make his first NBA start. Watkins’ offensive ceiling is relatively low, but he may be able to pick up some defensive stats for those who have him in dynasty leagues.

It’s a brutal blow for the Wizards, since Coulibaly is their top perimeter defender. Bub Carrington and Justin Champagnie will see more minutes, but it will likely just mean more usage for guys like Kyshawn George and CJ McCollum.

Siakam remains a solid scorer as he’s averaging 24.1 points per game this year, though his overall fantasy value hasn’t lived up to preseason expectations. The 31-year-old power forward was drafted in the third-round, but is providing seventh-round value so far this year. Siakam also comes with the risk of being shut down on a struggling Pacers team that’s going through a rebuilding year.

Due to a sprained left ankle, Furphy has not appeared in a game since November 3.

Leave Furphy on the waiver wire.

Washington selected Riley with the 21st pick in June, but he hasn’t seen the floor much during his rookie season. However, he 26 minutes in Tuesday’s blowout loss, which led to him setting a new career high for scoring. Riley likely won’t hold standard-league value for much of this season, though there is a chance he makes a big impact during silly season. However, there is certainly some intrigue in dynasty leagues.

With Khris Middleton sidelined for the second night of Washington’s back-to-back, Champagnie was able to get the starting nod. In just 24 minutes, Champagnie was able to turn in a full stat line and was one of seven Wizards to score in double figures. Middleton should be back to take on Boston on Thursday, but Champagnie will be a decent streaming option if he gets the chance to start in the future.

Bagley started a second straight game with Alex Sarr (groin) sidelined once again. He wasn’t able to match his 22 points from Monday’s game, but he was able to match his career high of five blocks, which he initially set in his fourth NBA game in 2018. Bagley wasn’t the only player to benefit from Sarr’s absence; Tristan Vukcevic chipped in 16 points off the bench for a second straight game, which was enough to lead to the Wizards in scoring in this one. If Sarr remains out against the Celtics on Thursday, both Bagley and Vukcevic will have some streaming appeal.

With Kyshawn George being cleared to play, there’s just one change to the Wizards’ starting lineup. Khris Middleton (rest) is out and will be replaced in the starting lineup by Champagnie.

Washington gritted out a tough win over Milwaukee on Sunday, and the Wizards may just be giving George a maintenance day for the second leg of a back-to-back set.

McCollum hit a clutch triple to give Washington a four-point lead with 15 seconds left in this game to help the Wizards walk away victorious for the third time this year. It has come inconsistently, but McCollum has been much better offensively in recent weeks than he had been to start the year. He’ll look to carry this into the Wizards’ matchup with the 76ers on Tuesday.

Vukčević has been solid off the bench lately, and he was able to play a large reserve role once again in this game with Alexandre Sarr (groin) sidelined. Sarr will remain out on Tuesday against the 76ers, so Vukčević should see a bump in minutes once again.

Nembhard surpassed the 20-point mark for the first time in five games on Monday. In fact, after scoring 32 points in the Pacers’ November 21 loss to Cleveland, he shot 11-of-34 from the field in the following three games. Before the season, Nembhard was a player whom many fantasy managers believed could safely provide top-100 value. Unfortunately, an early-season injury put him on the shelf for a few weeks, stunting his progress.

With the Cavaliers regaining control of Monday’s game early in the fourth quarter, Siakam lost out on a few minutes due to Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle pulling the plug. Given how many games the Pacers have lost, this has to be a frustrating season for Siakam and, by extension, those who have him on their fantasy rosters. Having entered the season with a third-round Yahoo! ADP, he’s ranked outside the top-75 in eight- and nine-cat formats. And with Indiana being 4-17, buying low comes with the risk of “Spicy P” being shut down later in the season, as the Pacers regained control of their 2026 first-round pick via a June trade with the Pelicans.

Jackson was bumped to the bench for Friday’s game, and he wasn’t effective in that role. However, he was able to make a large impact in this one. Both Pacers bigs had success, as Jay Huff, who started at center, contributed 14 points, four blocks and four triples. Chicago allows a lot of paint points, so this was a favorable matchup, but it was still good to see both centers turn in strong stat lines. However, this is likely a one-time thing and not the start of a productive run for both.

For the first time this season, the Pacers have a winning streak. Siakam scored 24 points in consecutive games, which resulted in back-to-back wins. Friday’s game was a blowout, but this one ended with Siakam hitting a contested mid-range shot with .1 seconds remaining. It was a fantastic shot to close out an exciting game, and Siakam continues to cook. He has scored at least 20 points in seven of their last eight games, and he has two steals in four straight.

After scoring a season-low 11 points on Wednesday, Siakam got back on track in this one to help lead Indiana to a lopsided victory. He has scored at least 20 points in six of his last seven games, and he continues to shoot the ball efficiently. Through their first nine games, he shot at least 50 percent from the floor just once; over their last nine games, he has shot below 50 percent just twice. This was also his first double-double since October, which was enough to help the Pacers get their third win of the year.

He recorded a complete stat line and reached double figures in points for the second consecutive game for the third time this season.

Against the Pistons and Raptors, he totaled 29 points on 8-of-28 shooting from the field. While most players would be able to point to three-point shooting as the reason for their woes, that has not been the case for Mathurin, who has gone 3-of-15 (20 percent) from two over this two-game stretch.

Nembhard struggled with his shot on Monday, but volumed his way into double figures as a scorer. He also was the Pacers’ best facilitator on the night and was very disruptive on the defensive end, tallying as many assists against the Pistons as he had combined up until Monday’s game. He’ll likely be better as a scorer moving forward and should remain solid as a passer.
