Davis Bertans Remains Wizards Top Priority

Washington Wizards forward Davis Bertans is going to be a highly coveted player in free agency, assuming he gets there. Wizards GM Tommy Sheppard has stated that bringing back Bertans is their top priority this offseason. He is coming off a breakout campaign where he averaged 15.4 points, 3.7 triples, 4.5 rebounds, and 1.7 assists […]

Isaiah Thomas Should Be Ready For Next Season

Washington Wizards guard Isaiah Thomas (hip) is expected to be ready for the beginning of the 2020-2021 season. He underwent surgery in May to repair his right hip that has been bothering him. He is heading into free agency after spending this season in Washington. Thomas is not the same player he used to be, […]

Davis Bertans Skips Bubble To Preserve His Health

Washington Wizards forward Davis Bertans decided to sit out the Orlando bubble in order to preserve his health for free agency. Bertans is an upcoming free agent and the Wizards had a slim chance of making the playoffs. He didn't believe it was worth the risk after not playing basketball for almost two months. Bertans […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (8/13/20): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

With a seven-game slate Thursday, the playoff race has become more intense than ever. With the prospect of a play-in game, teams like the Trail Blazers and Suns have more to fight for than just seeding. Both teams need to keep winning games and if the cards fall in the right spot, the Suns could […]

Rui Hachimura Ruled Out On Thursday

Washington Wizards forward Rui Hachimura (quad) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Boston Celtics. He was a late scratch from the Wizards' bubble finale, but the team wants to be cautious with their young forward. Johnathan Williams is expected to draw the start with Moritz Wagner getting more minutes as well. Neither […]

Shabazz Napier Won't Play Versus Celtics

Washington Wizards guard Shabazz Napier (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Boston Celtics. He wasn't doing much damage when he was in the rotation, so this won't be a huge blow to the team. Troy Brown should draw the start with Ish Smith coming off the bench. Brown has struggled during […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (8/11/20): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

It's coming down to the wire for the playoff seeding in the Western Conference. With Sacramento and New Orleans officially eliminated, it's coming down to a three-horse race for the 9th seed between Portland, San Antonio, and Phoenix. Portland and Phoenix are both on the main slate, and with how hard and well those teams […]

Shabazz Napier Questionable For Tuesday

Washington Wizards guard Shabazz Napier (ankle) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. The team has no incentive to play Napier at less than 100 percent, so he'll more than likely sit out. That means, Troy Brown, Ish Smith, and Jerome Robinson will see more playing time on Tuesday. Brown probably […]

Admiral Schofield A Non-Factor Off Bench Versus Thunder

Washington Wizards guard Admiral Schofield made little use of his 24 minutes on the court against the Thunder on Sunday. He only mustered three points on 1-for-4 shooting, with all of his attempts coming from behind the line. Schofield failed to accumulate a block, steal, or assist. The 23-year-old rookie needs to make the most […]

Jerome Robinson Scores Team-High 19 Points

Washington Wizards guard Jerome Robinson has made the most of his opportunity in Orlando. Despite averaging just 4.6 points on the season, he has emerged as one of the team's primary scoring options, at least in the short term. Against the Thunder on Sunday, Robinson dropped 19 points in 29 minutes off the pine. He […]

Troy Brown Lays An Egg Against Thunder

Washington Wizards forward Troy Brown was unable to land his team their first victory in Orlando. He posted subpar shooting splits in 29 minutes of play. Brown went just 5-for-14 from the field and 2-for-7 from beyond the arc. After averaging 18.5 points over his last two games, it was a lackluster showing from the third-year […]

Nothing wrong with resting […]

Rui Hachimura Goes Cold From Field Across 39 Minutes

Washington Wizards power forward Rui Hachimura saw a game-high 39 minutes during Wednesday’s loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, but was unable to cash in on his time on the floor, shooting just 2-for-11 overall. Over his last three outings, Hachimura has shot 8-for-29, failing to reach double figures in scoring in any of those games. […]

Jerome Robinson Pours In 19 Points Off Bench In Loss

Washington Wizards shooting guard/small forward Jerome Robinson continued to lead the team’s second unit against the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday, dropping 19 points on 5-for-11 shooting. Since entering the bubble, Robinson has been the Wizard who arguably has benefited most from the absence of Bradley Beal and Davis Bertans, staples of the team’s offense at […]

Thomas Bryant Notches Third Consecutive Double-Double

Washington Wizards center Thomas Bryant continued his masterful development inside the NBA bubble, compiling his third straight double-double during Wednesday’s loss to the Philadelphia 76ers. Bryant battled All-Star Joel Embiid and managed to finish with 19 points, 10 rebounds, and four blocks. Prior to the restart of the NBA season, Bryant attempted more than two […]

DraftKings Daily Fantasy Basketball Picks (8/5/20): NBA DFS Lineups

Tuesday's slate could have been a huge disappointment or massive success as the top seeded Milwaukee Bucks fell to the Brooklyn Nets. The Bucks were 19.0-point favorites, but head coach Mike Budenholzer limited his starters between 15-20 minutes and removed Brook Lopez (rest) from the lineup entirely right before tip-off. Sometimes basketball can be completely […]

Jerome Robinson Scores 17 Points In Monday's Loss

Washington Wizards shooting guard Jerome Robinson led the team in shot attempts and scored 17 points in Monday's loss to Indiana. The former Clipper was very trigger-happy in the contest, firing off a third of the team's 30 three-point attempts and shooting 7-for-18 overall from the field. He also tallied three rebounds, two assists, one […]

Shabazz Napier Performs Well Off The Bench

Washington Wizards point guard Shabazz Napier responded well to being demoted to the second unit, dropping 16 points on 6-for-11 shooting in Monday's 111-100 loss to the Pacers. He also had four assists, two rebounds, and one block with three turnovers in 22 minutes. Ish Smith, who replaced Napier in the starting lineup, also logged […]

Thomas Bryant Posts Another Double-Double

Washington Wizards center Thomas Bryant made it two double-doubles on the bounce with a 20-point, 11-rebound effort in Monday's loss to Indiana. He added three blocks while shooting a very good 9-for-12 from the field and 2-for-3 from outside. Bryant had a poor start in Orlando against Phoenix, but he's quickly gotten his act together […]

Ish Smith Takes Over As Starting Point Guard

Washington Wizards guard Ish Smith will join the starting five for Monday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Head coach Scott Brooks has decided to shake things up and bench Shabazz Napier after an unimpressive beginning to the restart. Smith has been playing well and is trending up. He could be a decent cheap DFS option […]
