John Wall Pours In Season High 30 Points
John Wall scored 10 of his season-high 30 points during the Wiz's big fourth quarter in their come-from-behind victory over the Clippers on Tuesday night. The 28-year-old was 9-for-24 from the field, 5-for-12 from beyond the arc and 7-for-10 from the charity stripe. He added eight assists, four rebounds, two blocks as well as two assists in 41 minutes. It game marked the fourth time in the last eight games that he has been on the floor for 40 or more minutes. His 24 shot attempts and 12 tries from beyond the arc were also a season high. Wall, who is shooting a career-low 68.6 percent from the foul line, will look to extend his streak of at least one triple to seven straight games against the Raptors on Friday. The ninth-year pro tallied 26 points, six assists, four rebounds, four blocks, and a steal the first time the teams met this season.

John Wall To Miss Next Two Weeks
John Wall (abdomen) is set to miss at least the next two weeks of action. The Clippers have decided to shut down the veteran guard for a couple of weeks while he recovers from an abdominal strain. His absence should mean that Terance Mann continues to get significant playing time in the rotation. Also, Reggie Jackson will likely be asked to contribute more with Wall unavailable to play. Mann is certainly worth rostering while Wall is out. Fantasy managers can take a wait-and-see approach with Jackson as he heavily struggled earlier in the season.

John Wall Not Expected To Suit Up On Sunday
John Wall (abdomen) is not expected to play against the Houston Rockets. The veteran logged 29 minutes on Friday versus the Denver Nuggets, finishing with 16 points and seven rebounds. However, he's now dealing with abdominal soreness, so he's on track to join Luke Kennard (calf) and Paul George (hamstring) on the shelf. Norman Powell, who had 18 points in the meeting with Denver, is expected to draw plenty of interest from DFS managers once Wall is officially ruled out.

John Wall Unavailable For Thursday
John Wall (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The veteran guard will sit this game out for rest purposes. It's the first game of a back-to-back set, so the Clippers aren't going to push Wall. His absence should open up more minutes for Terance Mann. He'll have some low-end streaming value for Thursday's contest. Fantasy managers should expect Wall back in the lineup for Friday.

John Wall Won't Play On Tuesday Against Raptors
John Wall (injury maintenance) is getting a rest day on Tuesday and will watch from the sidelines as the team takes on the Toronto Raptors. This wasn't his usual fourth-game pattern, but he'll be out for injury maintenance. He played well off of the bench on Monday against the Detroit Pistons as he turned in 16 points, five rebounds, and five assists. While he's out, Terance Mann will likely get some of those vacated minutes at guard, but he's not the best streaming option at the moment.
