Lakers News: No Anthony Davis, Maybe No Bradley Beal, Lots Of Gambling Lines Even with big absences possibly on both sides, there’s still plenty to bet on tonight.
DECEMBER 19, 2022 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM
Bradley Beal - Will play Sunday Beal (hamstring) will be available for Sunday's game against the Lakers, Ava Wallace of The Washington Post reports.
Impact The Wizards tabbed Beal as a game-time decision after his absence Saturday against the Clippers, but the star guard will return to the hardwood Sunday as Washington aims to snap a nine-game losing streak. The return of Beal should provide a gigantic boost to the Wizards' offense.
DECEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Rui Hachimura - Remains out, set to miss more time Hachimura (ankle) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Lakers.
Impact According to Josh Robbins of The Athletic, Wizards head coach Wes Unseld Jr. said Tuesday that Hachimura has progressed to 1-on-1 work while he contends with a bone bruise in his right ankle, but a return to game action doesn't appear imminent just yet. Hachimura will need to advance to full-court, 5-on-5 participation in scrimmages during practice before the Wizards clear him to play, so expect him to remain out for Tuesday's game in Phoenix, if not the rest of Washington's road trip, which concludes Friday in Sacramento.
DECEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Bradley Beal - Could return Sunday Beal (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lakers.
Impact Beal put in a full practice Friday before sitting out Saturday's 102-93 loss to the Clippers, but he looks like he could be a candidate to put an end to his six-game absence and return for the second half of the back-to-back set. More clarity on Beal's status should arrive closer to Sunday's 9:30 p.m. ET tipoff.

DECEMBER 18, 2022 • YOUTUBE
Wizards wilt in second half, fall to Clippers for ninth straight loss Kristaps Porzingis returns after missing a game with back soreness but it's not enough as the visitors fall for the 12th time in 13 games.
DECEMBER 18, 2022 • WASHINGTONPOST.COM
Corey Kispert - Seven points in 33 minutes Kispert amassed seven points (3-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist in 33 minutes during Saturday's 102-93 loss to the Clippers.
Impact Kispert logged at least 30 minutes for the eighth straight game, although you wouldn't know it to look at his numbers. Across those eight games, he has scored more than 15 points on two occasions, adding very little in terms of supporting contributions. He is outside the top 200 over that period and so despite the role, he remains a deeper league option only.
DECEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Deni Avdija - Sneaky double-double in loss Avdija accumulated 11 points (3-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 37 minutes during Saturday's 102-93 loss to the Clippers.
Impact Avdjia notched just his second double-double of the season Saturday, chipping across the board. He has been a top-65 player over the past two weeks, quietly establishing himself as a viable 12-team asset. However, Bradley Beal could return from his injury as soon as Sunday against the Lakers, something that needs to be factored in when considering Avdija as a pickup.
DECEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kristaps Porzingis - Returns with four steals Saturday Porzingis had 19 points (8-19 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and four steals over 35 minutes during Saturday's 102-93 loss to the Clippers.
Impact Porzingis returned after a one-game absence, pacing the Wizards with 19 points to go with four steals. While this certainly wasn't his best performance, managers simply have to be thrilled that he was able to get back on the court given his recent injury history. The Wizards will stay in Los Angeles, slated to face off against the Lakers on Sunday. There has been no indication Porzingis will be rested but it is always a good idea to keep one eye on the injury report.

Kristaps Porzingis - Starting Saturday Porzingis will return to the starting five for Saturday's tilt against the Clippers, Ava Wallace of The Washington Post reports.
Impact Porzingis missed the Wizards' last game due to a back issue but will return to his usual starting role, sending Taj Gibson to the second unit. He has been given the green light from Washington's medical staff to handle a full workload Saturday and remains a must-start in all fantasy formats.
DECEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Taj Gibson - Rejoins second unit Gibson will come off the bench for Saturday's game against the Clippers, Ava Wallace of The Washington Post reports.
Impact Gibson received a spot start in the Wizard's last game with Kristaps Porzingis absent. However, with Porzingis suiting up Saturday, Gibson will return to his usual bench role. In 17 appearances, Gibson has averaged 2.7 points and 1.4 rebounds in 7.2 minutes per game and can be ignored in all fantasy formats.

DECEMBER 17, 2022 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM
Kristaps Porzingis - No restrictions Saturday Porzingis (back) won't face any restrictions in his return to action Saturday versus the Clippers, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Porzingis missed only one game due to the back issue, so conditioning certainly shouldn't be an issue for him. It appears the medical staff isn't concerned about the back either, so Porzingis should be free to log his usual workload.
DECEMBER 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Bradley Beal - Sitting versus Clippers Beal (hamstring) won't lace up the sneakers Saturday versus the Clippers, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Beal logged a full practice Friday and was listed as questionable on the injury report, but he will ultimately miss at least one more game. The Wizards play again Sunday, so the staff may be opting to give the veteran an extra 24 hours to prepare.
