Deni Avdija Headlines Wizards Returning Trio Sunday

The Washington Wizards are getting back the triumvirate of small/power forward Deni Avdija, small forward Troy Brown, and point guard Ish Smith for Sunday's contest versus the Nets. The group has missed each of the team's previous four contests, with none of the trio having suited up since Jan. 11 due to the league's health […]

Raul Neto Could Miss Sunday's Contest

Washington Wizards guard Raul Neto (groin) is in danger of missing Sunday's contest. He re-aggravated his groin during practice on Saturday, so head coach Scott Brooks is unsure if Neto will play in their next contest.

Week 6 already? It was just yesterday that I was flummoxed by the quick turnaround to the season. Time flies when you're having fun, right?

Raul Neto Starting Wednesday Against Pelicans

Washington Wizards point guard Raul Neto (groin) will play and start Wednesday against the New Orleans Pelicans. Washington will be without regular starting point guard Russell Westbrook (rest) as he sits the second night of a back-to-back. However, there was concern Neto might miss as well, dealing with a groin injury. It appears the injury […]

Russell Westbrook Resting Versus Pelicans

Washington Wizards guard Russell Westbrook (rest) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. It's the second game of a back-to-back set, so Westbrook will sit out like usual. It doesn't sound like the Wizards plan to use Westbrook in back-to-back sets, so fantasy managers should continue to expect this going […]

Raul Neto Questionable On Wednesday

Washington Wizards guard Raul Neto (groin) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. He did return from injury on Tuesday, but possibly he re-aggravated his groin injury.

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (1/27/21): NBA DFS Lineups

Wednesday’s have carved out a niche on the NBA landscape as being chock full of action, with 12 games at our disposal this time around.

Raul Neto Returns Tuesday, Will Have Minutes Capped

Washington Wizards point guard Raul Neto (groin) has been given the thumbs up to return to action for Tuesday's game versus the Rockets, but will be facing a minutes restriction as he battles a groin ailment. Neto hasn't played since Jan. 11, having started his two most recent contests with Russell Westbrook having been unavailable. […]

Russell Westbrook Faces Minutes Limit Tuesday

The Washington Wizards may be short on players under the league's health and safety protocols, but that doesn't mean that point guard Russell Westbrook will have his minutes restriction removed for Tuesday's contest. Westbrook is capped in the mid-20s, per head coach Scott Brooks, which means that Raul Neto (groin) -- who has been cleared […]

Anthony Gill Slides Into Starting Five For Tuesday

Washington Wizards small/power forward Anthony Gill will make the first start of his NBA career at 28 years old Tuesday versus the Rockets. The Wizards are shuffling up their starting group, bumping Jerome Robinson to the second unit to presumably provide scoring thump.

Washington Upgrades Raul Neto To Questionable For Tuesday

Washington Wizards point guard Raul Neto (groin) has been bumped up to questionable to play in Tuesday's contest against the Rockets due to a groin ailment that held him out Sunday.
