Free-agent forward Anthony Gill agreed to a two-year, $4.78 million deal to return to the Wizards. The 31-year-old hasn't played for any other teams since entering the NBA in 2020, and he finished the 2023-24 campaign by logging 3.8 points and 1.9 rebounds per contest. While those numbers are lacking from a fantasy standpoint, Gill showed signs of promise by averaging 13.0 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 1.0 blocks in three starts last season. Gill isn't expected to be a routine rotational piece in Washington. However, there may be streaming opportunities for fantasy managers throughout the year.
Free-agent forward Anthony Gill re-signed with the Washington Wizards. The terms of the deal haven't been disclosed. The 31-year-old has spent his entire career with the Wizards. However, he hasn't done much, averaging 3.6 points in 179 regular season contests. Gill was decent in his three starts in 2023-24, averaging 13.0 points, 7.7 rebounds, and 1.0 blocks. Yet, he'll presumably spend most of his time at the end of the bench this season, making him nearly irrelevant for fantasy purposes.
Washington Wizards forward Anthony Gill will jump into the starting five for Monday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Gill started in the second half in Sunday's game, and finished with 10 points, five boards, two assists in 19 minutes. He'll replace Deni Avdija who logged in 11 minutes during Sunday's contest. Neither player is a great fantasy option, but Gill could be worth looking at as a deep league streamer on Monday. The fact he's moving into the starting five should give him a boost in playing time and usage.
Anthony Gill Slides Into Starting Five For Tuesday
Washington Wizards small/power forward Anthony Gill will make the first start of his NBA career at 28 years old Tuesday versus the Rockets. The Wizards are shuffling up their starting group, bumping Jerome Robinson to the second unit to presumably provide scoring thump. Gill played 10 minutes off the bench Sunday, but with Washington still decimated in the frontcourt under the league's health and safety protocols, he has seen his role increase. Despite his spot in the starting five, he's a massively risky DFS asset, having taken just four shots across the five games of his rookie year.
