Bradley Beal And Robin Lopez Good To Go Wednesday

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal (hip) and center Robin Lopez (quad) will play Wednesday against the Orlando Magic. Beal will make his return after a five-game absence due to a hip injury.

Rui Hachimura Available To Play Wednesday

Washington Wizards forward Rui Hachimura (shoulder) is good to go for Wednesday's game against Orlando. Hachimura missed the last two games with right shoulder tightness but was given the green light to return to the court. He should be on his normal minutes' count, which would be good news for his fantasy value, given that […]

Bradley Beal A Game-Time Decision Wednesday

Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal (hip) is a game-time decision for Wednesday's contest with the Magic. Beal has been a game-time call the past few games and has missed each of them.
