Poole will miss a second-straight game with a hyperextended right elbow. Bub Carrington should remain in the starting lineup, which raises his fantasy ceiling. The Wizards also played Marcus Smart 20 minutes off the bench; the veteran guard should take on a similar role against the Heat.

Washington is making a long-term commitment to Champagnie, who is averaging 7.5 points and 4.6 rebounds while shooting 50.7 percent from the field this season. The former UDFA bounced around from the Raptors, Celtics, and Heat before catching on with the Wizards in early 2024. Champagnie maintains little fantasy value at this time, but the Wizards are hoping he can become a solid three-and-D wing as he hits his prime.

Suggs hasn’t played since late January and it appears likely he’ll miss the rest of the season. The 23-year-old will undergo arthroscopic surgery to remove a cartilage fragment in his left knee. The Magic guard is expected to make a full recovery. Cole Anthony has stepped in as Orlando’s starting lead guard in Suggs’ absence and remains a solid fantasy option going forward.

George’s shooting struggles remain, but that isn’t something that dynasty managers should worry about. He will figure that out eventually. It’s everything else that he has done this season that makes him an exciting prospect, and this game was no exception. George set a new career-high for assists and was able to maintain his recent uptick in defensive production. George should be considered a high-upside option during “silly season”, and he has shown plenty of flashes in his first year in the league that should make him an enticing rookie to dynasty managers.

Middleton’s production has been limited since being traded to Washington, but he played well on Saturday. He had his highest scoring game as a Wizards and still provided value in other categories while playing just 24 minutes. Middleton’s role has been limited with Washington, and that isn’t likely to change at any point. However, he proved in this game that he can still contribute standard league value in a limited role. Washington only has three games next week, but Middleton should be productive when he’s on the floor.

After missing three games with an ankle sprain, Sarr was back in the lineup against Charlotte. He didn’t have a great night, but it was good to see the rookie back on the floor, and he was able to play 26 minutes. Richaun Holmes, who had been starting in place of Sarr, played the other 22 minutes at center off the bench and contributed 15 points, nine rebounds, three assists and one steal. Holmes may be able to continue providing value even with Sarr back, though his upside will be limited as a reserve.

With Jordan Poole sidelined, Carrington will slide into the starting unit in his place. Sarr also returns to the starting lineup after missing Washington’s last three games. That will push Richaun Holmes back to the bench, which will eliminate the streaming value that he held.

Saturday’s game against the Hornets will be the fifth Brogdon has missed with a sprained left ankle, having suffered the injury before the All-Star break. Keefe’s statement didn’t offer a specific timeline beyond saying he expects Brogdon to play at some point. The veteran guard has been more impactful in the Wizards locker room than in fantasy leagues, and that won’t change when he returns.

Sarr has missed the last three games with an ankle injury, but is set to return Saturday against the Hornets. The 19-year-old center’s return to the starting lineup will send Richaun Holmes back to the bench.

Suggs has dealt with back, quad and knee issues that have kept him out for all but one game since January 3. While he’s considered out indefinitely, it’s difficult to imagine he returns to action before the end of the season. Suggs can be dropped in fantasy leagues while Cole Anthony and Anthony Black handle the point guard minutes for Orlando.

Poole is out with a right elbow hyperextension. Given how much usage the 25-year-old shooting guard typically takes up, a slew of Wizards will see a boost in fantasy value Saturday. Bub Carrington, Bilal Coulibaly, Marcus Smart, Corey Kispert, Kyshawn George and Khris Middleton could all benefit with Poole already ruled out.

Sarr has missed the last three games with ankle injury and his status is once again up in the air for Saturday. Richaun Holmes had 20 points in 19 minutes in his last spot start with Sarr out. Holmes would be worth streaming in deeper formats if Sarr is out again Saturday.

Carter Jr. continues to start at center for the Magic, but it hasn’t resulted in a massive leap in production. He has been solid on the glass, grabbing double digit rebounds in three of his last five starts. Carter Jr. remains the best fantasy center in Orlando, but neither he nor Goga Bitadze has provided standard league in recent weeks. Carter Jr. ranks just inside the top-150 in nine-cat leagues over the past two weeks.

Per usual, Wagner and Paolo Banchero were the main sources of offense for Orlando. They combined to score 68 of Orlando’s 115 points, which wasn’t enough to counter Stephen Curry’s 56 points. Wagner has had a spectacular season, though he has been quieter in recent weeks. That can likely be attributed to sharing the ball and court with Banchero. Wagner ranks just outside the top-75 in nine-cat leagues over the last two weeks, a far drop from his season-long value of just outside the top-25.

Golden State didn’t have an answer for Banchero early on in this game, which allowed him to score 24 points in the first half alone. Banchero wasn’t quite able to match his first half scoring total after the break, but he was able to get over 40 points for the second time this season and the first time since October. Banchero also shot a high percentage from the floor, which was great to see after he went eight straight games making less than 50 percent of his shot attempts. He’ll look to keep this going into Orlando’s final game of the week, which is a home matchup with Toronto on Sunday.

Anthony suffered a knee injury Tuesday against Cleveland and left that game early. Evidently, the injury isn’t severe, and he’ll be back in action without missing a game. Anthony should handle his typical workload.

Anthony didn’t return after hurting his knee against the Cavaliers on Tuesday but went through shootaround Thursday. He’s been starting at point guard lately, but could be replaced by Anthony Black if Anthony is not healthy enough to play.

After scoring 13 points on 4-of-15 shooting in games against the Magic and Nets, Kispert got back on track Wednesday night. He’s scored 20 points or more in two of his last five games and can provide solid three-point value. Before that two-game slump, he ripped off a run of seven straight games in double figures, averaging 16.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 3.3 three-pointers while shooting 55.6 percent from the field. Kispert is only rostered in seven percent of Yahoo! leagues; he’ll be worth a dice roll in deep leagues for Saturday’s game against the Hornets.

Starting for the injured Alexandre Sarr (ankle), Holmes did not miss a shot on Wednesday. The 20 points were a season-high, with the offensive output making up for the non-existent defensive stats. Holmes is unlikely to revisit his fantasy basketball “glory days” at this stage in his career, but he’s worth a look in deep leagues when allowed to start. Sarr’s absence also means more playing time for Tristan Vukcevic, who finished Wednesday’s defeat with eight points, two rebounds, one assist, one block and one three-pointer in 19 minutes.

After a rough 2023-24 campaign, Poole has been much-improved, even if the strides taken have not resulted in more wins for the Wizards. He’s provided top-50 value in eight-cat formats, something few (if any) fantasy managers expected. With Wednesday’s effort, Poole has scored 20-plus points in consecutive games for the first time since February 7-8, and he has been a top-40 player over the past three weeks in eight-cat. Even better for fantasy managers is that Poole and the Wizards end Week 17 with a game against the Hornets on Saturday.

Sarr will miss a third straight game, which means Richaun Holmes should remain with the first unit. Holmes has averaged 11 points, eight rebounds, 2.5 assists and 2.5 blocks across 29.5 minutes over his last two starts.
