Marvin Bagley Likely To Make Return To Action Wednesday
Marvin Bagley is set to be listed as probable for Wednesday’s contest versus the Oklahoma City Thunder after having been sidelined since Oct. 23 due to a right thumb fracture. Bagley sustained the injury during opening night of the season when he compiled a double-double against Phoenix. Since then, Richaun Holmes and Nemanja Bjelica have established themselves as a formidable frontcourt duo, which makes it unclear what Bagley’s immediate role will be. What can be certain is that he will have fantasy value from the moment he suits up, which barring a drastic change, will be Wednesday.

Marvin Bagley III Suffers Apparent Knee Injury
Marvin Bagley III (knee) had his night cut short by injury against Oklahoma City on Monday. He appeared to have hurt his right knee in the fourth quarter in a collision with Thunder big man Isaiah Hartenstein. With Alex Sarr (back) absent on Monday, Bagley III was back in the rotation and performed well before making a premature exit. The 25-year-old finished with seven points, six rebounds, one assist, and one steal across 16 minutes of action. Further tests will reveal the severity of Bagley III's injury, but it looked a pretty bad one and might leave him on the shelf for quite some time.

Marvin Bagley III Draws Rare Start
Marvin Bagley III will move into the starting five ahead of Thursday's game against the Dallas Mavericks. It looks like the Wizards have decided to shake up their starting five and give Bagley a bigger look. It's worth noting that Bagley has played nine minutes or less in every game this season. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect much from Bagley in this one considering he has barely played. Jonas Valanciunas will come off the bench, but is the much better streaming option between the two ahead of this game.

Marvin Bagley III Out Again On Friday
Marvin Bagley III (knee) will miss his fifth consecutive game due to a knee sprain and this will be his 32nd missed game of the season. Since this is the last game of the year for the Wizards, fantasy managers and those creating DFS lineups can safely drop Bagley until next season. He ended the year averaging 11.7 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.1 assists, and 1.2 turnovers per game across 50 total appearances and 25 starts for the Wizards and Detroit Pistons. On Friday, since Richaun Holmes (toe) is questionable, the safer streaming option would be Anthony Gill for big-man stats, but he's an overall risky option.

Marvin Bagley III Sidelined Against Toronto
Marvin Bagley III (knee) remains out for Sunday's matchup with Toronto. The 25-year-old missed the last two games because of a sprained knee. While he hasn't officially been ruled out for the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign, fantasy managers likely won't see him on the floor until next season. With Kyle Kuzma (ankle) and Richaun Holmes (toe) questionable, Tristan Vukcevic, coming off a 17-point, seven-rebound, two-steal effort in Friday's loss to Portland, may continue to remain in the starting lineup.
