DraftKings NBA DFS Picks for Today (Monday, 11/25/24): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

I've been on a major heater over the past several days in DFS NBA, so here's hoping the magic continues into this upcoming Holiday week. Tonight we have seven games on the schedule for DraftKings, and a weirdly small amount of "five-figure studs" available. One of the main points of decision tonight will come down […]

Alexandre Sarr Will Play Sunday

Washington Wizards forward/center Alexandre Sarr (illness) has been cleared to play on Sunday against Indiana. The team has upgraded him from questionable to available. Sarr tends to be inconsistent with his offensive output but has been a vital presence on the defensive end for the Wizards, averaging 9.5 points and 5.8 rebounds with 2.0 blocks […]

Alexandre Sarr Tagged As Questionable

Washington Wizards forward Alexandre Sarr (illness) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Indiana Pacers. The rookie forward was a late addition to the injury report due to a minor illness. He's currently in danger of missing his first game of the season on Sunday. If that happens, Jonas Valanciunas figures to […]

Jordan Poole Won't Play On Sunday

Washington Wizards guard Jordan Poole (hip) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Poole was questionable heading into this game due to a left hip issue, but has now been downgraded to out. Bub Carrington figures to move into the starting five. He posted an 18-point outing earlier in the […]

Jordan Poole Uncertain For Sunday's Game Against Indiana

Washington Wizards guard Jordan Poole (hip) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Indiana Pacers. The former Golden State Warrior is coming off a 23-point, eight-assist effort in Friday's loss to the Boston Celtics. But if the hip flexor soreness keeps him off the floor versus Indy, Bub Carrington would presumably slide into the starting […]

Bilal Coulibaly Absent On Monday

Washington Wizards guard Bilal Coulibaly (head) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the New York Knicks. Coulibaly took a hit to the head during Sunday's game, so he's likely still feeling it on Monday. The Wizards don't play again until Friday after this game, so hopefully Coulibaly will be ready to play […]

Bilal Coulibaly Tagged As Questionable On Monday

Washington Wizards forward Bilal Coulibaly (head) has been deemed questionable for the team's Monday night contest against the New York Knicks. In the Wizards' last game, Coulibaly took an elbow to the mouth, so the team has listed him with a "post-traumatic" head injury. The Frenchman has been enjoying a solid start to the season […]

After missing the start of the season while recovering from thumb surgery, Brogdon is ready to return to action. The 31-year-old veteran is expected to compete for a role off the bench in the Wizards' backcourt. Brogdon's 2023-24 […]

The rookie has played well this season, averaging 10.3 points, 5.3 assists, 5.1 rebounds, and 1.3 steals.
