Marvin Bagley III - Questionable for Friday Bagley (illness) is questionable for Friday's game against the Grizzlies.
Impact Bagley has been dealing with a non-COVID illness that caused him to miss the Monday matchup against the Warriors. Even if available, Bagley has been a non-factor off the bench for Washington and averages a mere 6.8 minutes per game. He shouldn't be targeted in any format regarding his availability.

Malcolm Brogdon - Showing progress in recovery Brogdon has progressed to shooting with his right hand, Chase Hughes of Monumental Sports Network reports.
Impact While Brogdon still has his thumb wrapped, it is a good sign he's getting closer, Hughes added. His timetable for recovery is still unknown, but the fact that he is showing progress after undergoing surgery a month ago is encouraging for him moving forward.

Kyle Kuzma - Listed out for Friday Kuzma (groin) will be listed as out for Friday's game against Memphis, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
Impact Kuzma will miss his fourth straight game Friday and it remains unclear when he'll be able to return to the lineup. In the meantime, Kyshawn George will continue to see extended run for the Wizards, while Corey Kispert will offer more fantasy appeal as well.

Jared Butler - Minor role continues Butler amassed seven points (3-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and three assists in eight minutes during Monday's 125-112 loss to Golden State.
Impact Butler has averaged 5.6 points and 2.4 assists in 9.0 minutes per game over five appearances this season. As long as Kyle Kuzma (groin) and Malcolm Brogdon (thumb) remain sidelined, Butler should continue to play a minor reserve role.
NOVEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE
Corey Kispert - Modest production in large role Kispert ended with four points (2-7 FG, 0-4 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and one block across 29 minutes during Monday's 125-112 loss to the Warriors.
Impact After averaging 15.7 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 32.3 minutes over a three-game stretch, Kispert has totaled eight points (3-17 FG), eight rebounds and two assists in 60 minutes over his past two games. With Kyle Kuzma (groin) sidelined, there are more opportunities for Kispert, but Washington's youngsters -- Carlton Carrington, Bilal Coulibaly, Kyshawn George and Alex Sarr -- have stolen the show recently.

Alex Sarr - Double-doubles in loss Sarr racked up 10 points (3-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and three blocks across 27 minutes during Monday's 125-112 loss to the Warriors.
Impact This was Sarr's first double-double of his NBA career. His offense is a major work in progress with the rookie hitting 36.2 percent from the field and 20.7 percent from beyond the arc through six games, but the counting stats are intriguing with 9.8 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 2.8 blocks and 0.5 steals in 25.2 minutes through six appearances.
NOVEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE
Jordan Poole - Blocks four shots Poole notched 24 points (8-20 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 6-7 FT), one rebound, three assists, four blocks and three steals in 34 minutes during Monday's 125-112 loss to the Warriors.
Impact Poole posted a career-high four blocks in the loss, his 10th career outing with multiple blocks in a single game. Fantasy managers should be thrilled by the early returns from Poole this season as he continues to run the show for Washington. Through six games, he's averaging 22.5 points, 5.0 assists, 1.2 rebounds, 2.8 steals, 1.2 blocks and 4.0 three-pointers.
NOVEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE
Kyshawn George - Notches 20 points George totaled 20 points (7-19 FG, 6-17 3Pt), six rebounds, four assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Monday's 125-112 loss to Golden State.
Impact George's 20 points is a new career-high mark, as well as his workload of 38 minutes and six three-point makes. With Kyle Kuzma sidelined by a groin issue, George has been getting an extended look in the rotation. He has struggled overall, however, as he's shooting 31.5 percent from the field, 20.5 percent from beyond the arc and 66.7 percent from the line through six games.
NOVEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE
Carlton Carrington - Puts up solid numbers Carrington provided 16 points (7-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds and seven assists over 33 minutes during Monday's 125-112 loss to the Warriors.
Impact The No. 14 overall pick of the 2024 Draft continues to feature for the Wizards during his rookie season, as the franchise is wasting no time to get him heavily involved. His production has been sporadic which is to be expected, but there's a lot to like here from a fantasy perspective. Through six games, he's posting averages of 10.3 points, 4.8 assists, 4.3 rebounds and 0.8 steals in 29.2 minutes per contest.
NOVEMBER 5 • ROTOWIRE
Jonas Valanciunas - Double-doubles in loss Valanciunas chipped in 16 points (6-10 FG, 4-4 FT), 12 rebounds and seven assists across 21 minutes during Monday's 125-112 loss to Golden State.
Impact This was Valanciunas' first double-double of the campaign, as he continues to be the focal point of the offense for the second unit. He has only block to his name through six games, but he's been productive elsewhere with averages of 12.8 points, 8.2 rebounds and 3.3 assists.
