Bagley and Tristan Vukcevic are both out on Thursday, which means the Wizards don’t have a true backup center. Then again, it might not matter on Thursday since the Nuggets are also without their only two centers. Jamir Watkins could see minutes as the backup big man, and Khris Middleton could also spend extra time at power forward or as the big man in smaller lineups.

Bagley’s status is more impactful, as he serves as Alex Sarr’s backup while Johnson is not in the Wizards’ rotation on most nights. With Tristan Vukčević (hamstring) out, the Wizards would have to go small if Bagley doesn’t play. However, neither he nor Johnson moves the needle in fantasy basketball.

Bagley saw extended minutes on Wednesday after Alex Sarr was ejected in the second quarter against the Clippers. Bagley took advantage, using efficient shooting to record his best scoring game of January and attacking the glass hard for his first double-double since December 14. Bagley has shown on multiple occasions this season that he can put up big numbers in the right amount of playing time. But in his reserve role, he’s unlikely to sustain enough consistent production to become a reliable option in fantasy leagues.

Bagley III sat out Sunday’s loss to San Antonio, but he’ll be back in action to face the Hornets. With Alex Sarr also available, Bagley III’s fantasy value is minimal.

Bagley did not play in Sunday’s loss to the Spurs, with Tristan Vukčević moving into the starting lineup since the Wizards were also without Alex Sarr. However, with Sarr off the injury report, he’ll start even if Bagley is cleared to play.

Already without Alex Sarr, the Wizards won’t have Bagley for Sunday’s game, either. Tristan Vukčević is the lone healthy center on the roster, and he’ll play plenty. Anthony Gill should enter the rotation, but he is not a true center.

Bagley had little trouble handling Indiana’s overmatched frontcourt as he recorded his second consecutive double-double, attempting double-digit free throws for the third time in his last six contests since the start of December. The 26-year-old former lottery pick is averaging 14 points and 8.7 rebounds during that span, offering some appeal in deeper fantasy formats. The Wizards return to action on Thursday with a road tilt against the Spurs before weekend contests against the Grizzlies and Spurs.

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 Alexandre Sarr sidelined with a groin injury, Bagley was able to start for the second time this season. Sarr has already been ruled out for Tuesday’s game, so Bagley should be in line for another start. Currently rostered in just three percent of Yahoo! leagues, Bagley will be worth streaming if he’s able to repeat this level of production as a starter once again.

The Wizards will be without starting center Alex Sarr for at least the next two games, creating an opening in the lineup. Bagley will fill the void, making him a player worth considering in deeper fantasy leagues. While Tristan Vukčević may pick up additional minutes off the bench, he isn’t worth rostering in most leagues.

Bagley will miss a third straight game with a right hip contusion. Alex Sarr is locked in as the starting center, with Tristan Vukčević sliding into the backup role to replace Bagley. There isn’t much to gain from rostering Vukčević since he’ll come off the bench.

Bagley has missed the Wizards’ last two games with a right hip contusion, resulting in more minutes for fellow reserve Tristan Vukčević. However, with starting center Alex Sarr healthy, Vukčević is unlikely to get the minutes needed to impact fantasy basketball if Bagley remains out.

Bagley is set to miss his second consecutive game with a hip injury. The Wizards will have Alex Sarr back, which is great news, but Bagley’s injury opens up some backup minutes for Tristan Vukčević off the bench.

No surprise here as Bagley was originally listed as doubtful with a hip injury. The 26-year-old power forward will join Alex Sarr (toe) on the sidelines for Friday’s game against the Raptors. Tristan Vukčević is set to pick up significant minutes in this one and is worth streaming.

Filling in for the injured Alex Sarr, Bagley played 31 minutes in Wednesday’s loss to the Timberwolves. However, he landed hard on his hip while attempting to grab a rebound, which led to Bagley’s appearance on the injury report. With Sarr questionable for Friday’s game, Tristan Vukčević will figure more prominently in the Wizards’ rotation. He is only worth streaming if Sarr and Bagley can’t play.

With Alex Sarr (toe) out, Bagley made his first start of the season on Wednesday. He had a good night, shooting over 50 percent from the field and recording a near-complete stat line. Bagley is only rostered in one percent of Yahoo! leagues, so there weren’t many managers willing to roll the dice. However, he’ll be worth a look in deep leagues if Sarr misses more time. Tristan Vukčević served as the backup center on Wednesday, finishing with seven points, five rebounds, one assist and one three-pointer in 20 minutes.

The Wizards will be without their most productive player on Wednesday, as Alex Sarr is out with a toe injury. He’ll be replaced in the lineup by Bagley, who should be streamed in deep leagues. Washington’s other four starters are unchanged.

Bagley tweaked his ankle during Tuesday’s overtime loss to the 76ers, which was his best game of the season. He’s good to go for Thursday’s game, but Bagley offers limited fantasy upside as long as starter Alex Sarr is healthy.

Coming off his best game of the season, Bagley finds himself on the injury report. If he isn’t able to suit up and fill the backup center minutes behind Alex Sarr, that role will fall to Tristan Vukcevic, though that isn’t enough playing time for him to be worth streaming.

Serving as Alex Sarr’s backup is not a good place for any post player in terms of fantasy value. However, Bagley played well against the 76ers, providing everything but a three-pointer in the overtime defeat. He did take a Joel Embiid elbow to the face during the second quarter, but was back on the floor in the third when Sarr needed a break. There’s no need to add Bagley in fantasy leagues, but there may be times when he has streaming value.

Monday’s game was the second in as many days for the Wizards, resulting in a day off for Alex Sarr. Bagley moved into the starting lineup, and the 2018 lottery pick took advantage of his opportunity. He recorded a double-double in 24 minutes, with the final stat line only missing a three-pointer. Tristan Vukcevic (15/4/3/1 with three three-pointers) also played well, logging 17 minutes off the bench. The backup center competition is unlikely to make waves in fantasy basketball, as Sarr will play significant minutes as the starter. However, Bagley and Vukcevic boast different skill sets, making it possible for both to get their chances during the regular season, depending on the opponent.

The Wizards will go with a new starting lineup on Monday, choosing to rest several key players on the second night of a back-to-back. This includes Alex Sarr, who had missed the start of training camp due to a calf injury. Nevertheless, Washington will bump Champagnie, Johnson, and Bagley III into the starting lineup as it looks to secure its first preseason win.

Bagley began last season with the Wizards before being traded to Memphis at the February deadline. He’s back in the nation’s capital on a one-year deal, providing additional frontcourt depth. Bagley only averaged 8.5 minutes per game last season and may be in line for a similar role, especially as the Wizards continue to develop 2024 lottery pick Alex Sarr. Unless there are injuries throughout the season, Bagley is not a player who should be selected in most fantasy drafts.

Bagley was the Grizzlies’ only bright spot on offense in Game 1. The reserve big was perfect from the field and got plenty of burn in a game that was out of reach for his team early on. Whether he can earn more minutes moving forward remains to be seen. He’ll likely get less of an opportunity if Game 2 is closer.

With Bagley and Lamar Stevens (31 points) putting up at least 25 points each, a franchise-record 12 players have accomplished that feat this season. Bagley started for Zach Edey and had a big afternoon as a scorer and rebounder. He’s unlikely to provide much value off the bench in the postseason, but Sunday’s performance may improve Bagley’s prospects for the 2025-26 campaign.

Bagley has played more than five minutes just twice since being traded to Memphis at the deadline. His absence will take away from their frontcourt depth, but it won’t have a dramatic impact on the team’s rotation.
