Carrington

Poole will return to the court following a three-game absence, which will likely send Bub Carrington back to the bench. Across his last five outings, Poole averaged 25.1 points, 4.3 rebounds and 4.3 assists, and he’ll look to pick back up where he left off. Holmes should assume his role as Alex Sarr’s primary backup after one game on the sideline. Even off the bench, Holmes still carries some streaming value in deeper leagues.

Poole has missed Washington’s last three games, but there is a chance that he returns to the lineup on Saturday against Toronto. Rookie Bub Carrington has been starting in place of Poole but would likely return to a reserve role if Poole is back.

Carrington has started the last few games with Jordan Poole out with an elbow injury. While the move into the starting lineup certainly raises the 19-year-old point guard’s ceiling, he hasn’t quite reached it yet. Carrington had a solid but unspectacular 12 points and nine assists against the Jazz Wednesday. He can be counted on for assists when given increased opportunity, but his scoring leaves much to be desired.

Poole was initially left off the injury report by Washington, but it was an error. Poole will miss a third-straight game when they take on Utah. Rookie Bub Carrington should remain in the starting unit, with Marcus Smart filling out the backup minutes.

Poole will miss a second-straight game with a hyperextended right elbow. Bub Carrington should remain in the starting lineup, which raises his fantasy ceiling. The Wizards also played Marcus Smart 20 minutes off the bench; the veteran guard should take on a similar role against the Heat.

With Jordan Poole sidelined, Carrington will slide into the starting unit in his place. Sarr also returns to the starting lineup after missing Washington’s last three games. That will push Richaun Holmes back to the bench, which will eliminate the streaming value that he held.

Brogdon hasn’t played since the All-Star break, and it’s unclear when he might suit up next. Bub Carrington and Corey Kispert will continue to see extra minutes with the 32-year-old point guard sidelined.

Brogdon has yet to play post All-Star break, and there’s no timeline for his return. Bub Carrington and Corey Kispert should see additional run for as long as he’s sidelined.

Carrington started five straight before the All-Star break and averaged 16/5/6 in that span. He’s come off the bench in two straight games post All-Star break, but he’s found a way to make an impact. The rookie finished behind only Jordan Poole for the team lead in scoring on a night when Washington couldn’t find any rhythm on offense. Carrington is worth a look in deeper leagues, but he’s not a guy who needs to be rostered in standard leagues.

Middleton will miss Sunday’s game due to bilateral ankle injury management, which has carried over from his time with the Bucks. His absence will likely lead to Bub Carrington returning to the starting lineup. The rookie guard was a starter before Middleton made his Wizards debut on Friday night, and he’s worth rostering in preparation for the “silly season.”
