Kristaps Porzingis (rib) ruled out Wednesday for Wizards
Washington Wizards center Kristaps Porzingis (sore ribs) has been ruled out for Wednesday versus the Chicago Bulls.
What It Means:
The Wizards' frontcourt will be without Porzingis and Daniel Gafford (ankle) on Wednesday night. Vernon Carey Jr. (right quad contusion) has been added to the injury report as questionable, so Taj Gibson may need to log long minutes at center out of necessity. Rui Hachimura should play a larger role on offense with Porzingis and Gafford sidelined. Corey Kispert (back) will be a game-time decision on Wednesday.
Hachimura is now numberFire's fourth-best point-per-dollar value on Wednesday's eight-game slate. He has a $5,000 salary and is projected for 32.0 FanDuel points over 32.8 minutes. Gibson ($3,700) is projected for 18.2 FanDuel points in 20.0 minutes.
