Marvin

Bagley

Sarr will miss a fifth straight game as he continues to recover from a strained right adductor. Marvin Bagley III has been his replacement in the starting lineup, but the inconsistent production has made him challenging to trust in fantasy leagues. Tristan Vukčević will once again slot in as the backup center.

This will be a fourth-straight absence for Sarr, which means another start for Marvin Bagley. After playing well in the first two games in place of Sarr, Bagley struggled as a starter in the last one. Still, with Tristan Vukcevic questionable, Bagley could see an even larger bump in minutes, though he should at least hover around the 27.1 minutes he’s averaged over the last three outings.

Sarr is set to miss his third consecutive game with a right adductor strain on Thursday against the Celtics. The 20-year-old center will be replaced in the starting lineup by Marvin Bagley, who had 13 points, eight rebounds and five blocks against the 76ers on Tuesday. Bagley is worth streaming in deeper formats until Sarr returns.

Bagley started a second straight game with Alex Sarr (groin) sidelined once again. He wasn’t able to match his 22 points from Monday’s game, but he was able to match his career high of five blocks, which he initially set in his fourth NBA game in 2018. Bagley wasn’t the only player to benefit from Sarr’s absence; Tristan Vukcevic chipped in 16 points off the bench for a second straight game, which was enough to lead to the Wizards in scoring in this one. If Sarr remains out against the Celtics on Thursday, both Bagley and Vukcevic will have some streaming appeal.

With Alexandre Sarr sidelined with a groin injury, Bagley was able to start for the second time this season. Sarr has already been ruled out for Tuesday’s game, so Bagley should be in line for another start. Currently rostered in just three percent of Yahoo! leagues, Bagley will be worth streaming if he’s able to repeat this level of production as a starter once again.

The Wizards will be without starting center Alex Sarr for at least the next two games, creating an opening in the lineup. Bagley will fill the void, making him a player worth considering in deeper fantasy leagues. While Tristan Vukčević may pick up additional minutes off the bench, he isn’t worth rostering in most leagues.

While Sarr will not be available for Washington’s games on Monday and Tuesday, head coach Brian Keefe said the second-year center should not be sidelined for too long. The 7-footer’s absence leaves a massive hole in the Wizards’ starting lineup, one that Marvin Bagley will likely fill. With it being known that Sarr will miss at least both ends of Washington’s back-to-back to begin Week 7, streaming Bagley in deep leagues would be a realistic approach.

Sarr’s absence should mean increased run for Marvin Magley and Tristan Vukčević, though it’s unclear which backup big will get the starting nod. There’s no indication that Sarr’s injury is significant, and he may just be getting a maintenance day on the first leg of Washington’s back-to-back set. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on his status ahead of Tuesday’s tilt with Philadelphia.

Bagley will miss a third straight game with a right hip contusion. Alex Sarr is locked in as the starting center, with Tristan Vukčević sliding into the backup role to replace Bagley. There isn’t much to gain from rostering Vukčević since he’ll come off the bench.

Bagley has missed the Wizards’ last two games with a right hip contusion, resulting in more minutes for fellow reserve Tristan Vukčević. However, with starting center Alex Sarr healthy, Vukčević is unlikely to get the minutes needed to impact fantasy basketball if Bagley remains out.
