December 17, 2022, 1:11 pmWashington Wizards @ LA Clippers
Game Time: 4:00 pm ET
Injury Report
Wizards: OUT: Delon Wright (right hamstring strain), Rui Hachimura (right ankle soreness); QUESTIONABLE: Bradley Beal (right hamstring strain)
Clippers: OUT: Ivica Zubac (left knee contusion), Norman Powell (left groin strain); QUESTIONABLE: Paul George (left knee soreness), Reggie Jackson (left Achilles inflammation)
Stream of the Game
Should Beal get ruled out once again on Saturday, Jordan Goodwin and Deni Avdija will continue to have easier paths to streaming value in shallow formats. However, Goodwin would likely be the streaming casualty should Beal return while Avdija would be worth holding for a few games even with Beal around to see if he can stay above the cut-line. Should Paul George sit out on the Clippers side, Terance Mann could once again have some additional value as he showcased in the last contest, although Kawhi Leonard’s return negatively impacts his appeal. Moses Brown got the start with Zubac out in the last one and we could view him as a rebounding specialist with the hope that he can provide a block or two as well. Nic Batum and Robert Covington are other potential streaming options, but there are likely to be more reliable options on the waiver wire.
Miami Heat @ San Antonio Spurs
Game Time: 5:00 pm ET
Injury Report
Heat: OUT: Kyle Lowry (left knee soreness), Gabe Vincent (left knee effusion), Omer Yurtseven (left ankle surgery); DOUBTFUL: Caleb Martin (left ankle sprain); QUESTIONABLE: Haywood Highsmith (left quad contusion), Udonis Haslem (right Achilles tendinosis); PROBABLE: Jimmy Butler (right knee injury management), Dewayne Dedmon (left plantar fasciitis)
Spurs: OUT: Josh Richardson (personal), Romeo Langford (left ankle sprain)
Stream of the Game
Lowry’s absence does allow for some streaming appeal on the Heat with Victor Oladipo and Max Strus the two players most likely to benefit with additional opportunity. However, both remain risky streaming options outside of deep leagues with Jimmy Butler, Tyler Herro and Bam Adebayo soaking up most of the usage on the Heat. Jakob Poeltl’s return negates the streaming appeal of the Spurs’ frontcourt options.
