Kyle Kuzma (knee) cleared for Wizards return Friday
Washington Wizards power forward Kyle Kuzma (sore right knee) is not on the injury report for Friday against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Kuzma is ready to return after missing Tuesday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Corey Kispert will likely return to the bench after filling in for Kuzma with the starters. Bradley Beal will also have fewer ball-handling responsibilities.
numberFire's models project Kuzma for 36.0 minutes and 37.0 FanDuel points on Friday. He averaged 34.8 FanDuel points and 35.0 minutes over his last four games. Beal is averaging 11.1 fewer FanDuel points per game when Kuzma is active this season, which is the highest differential on the Wizards.
