Miami Heat point guard Delon Wright (personal) will be available on Monday against Boston. He's returning after missing Game 3 due to the birth of his daughter. Wright has logged 20-plus minutes in both of his two playoff appearances so far and should receive the same kind of workload in Game 4. The 32-year-old is more known for his defensive ability, but Wright also stood out offensively in the series opener with 17 points. He's averaged 11.0 points, 2.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.0 steals this postseason.
Miami Heat point guard Delon Wright (personal) appears ready to return to the lineup on Monday versus Boston, as the team has listed him as probable for the contest. Wright missed Game 3 of the series for personal reasons. He started the playoffs with a big 17-point performance but settled for only five points in Game 2. Terry Rozier's (neck) absence has given Wright an opportunity to average 23.0 minutes per game in the postseason, and he should play a significant part in the rotation again on Monday. However, his inconsistency makes Wright a risky option for DFS managers.
Miami Heat guard Delon Wright (personal) is questionable for Saturday's meeting with the Celtics. With Terry Rozier (neck) out of commission, Wright has been getting some work during this series. He's played well, too, averaging 11.0 points and 2.5 rebounds while shooting 75.0% from behind the arc. If he can't suit up, Tyler Herro could see even more minutes at the one. In addition, Patty Mills may finally make an appearance, although he doesn't have much upside.
Miami Heat guard Delon Wright will shift into the starting five ahead of Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Wright looked good during his first start in Miami, so the Heat will give him another shot. Last time he finished with 13 points, two rebounds, five assists, two steals, one block, and two triples in 35 minutes. The move to start Wright means that Duncan Robinson will come off the bench. Robinson should still play a large role off the bench, but his fantasy value will take a hit with the move to the second unit. Fantasy managers in deep leagues might want to consider Wright as a possible streaming option.
Washington Wizards guards Delon Wright (quadriceps) and Landry Shamet (hamstring) are both listed as available for Monday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Wright is good to go with a left quadriceps contusion and can be a stat-sheet stuffer when given playing time, but the minutes (17.2 per game) haven't been there in 14 games behind starter Tyus Jones this year. Despite 1.6 steals per night, Wright can be ignored in the vast majority of fantasy leagues at the moment. The sharpshooting Shamet missed Washington's past two contests due to a sore left hamstring, but he also has the green light to suit up on Monday. The 26-year-old journeyman is providing 7.3 points and 1.3 threes per game on 37.8% shooting from downtown in 21 appearances as a strict reserve for the Wizards on the campaign, so there's not much to see from a fantasy perspective here at this time.
Delon Wright Questionable For Meeting With Thunder
Washington Wizards guard Delon Wright (quadriceps) might not feature in Monday's game against Oklahoma City, as the team has listed him as questionable for the contest. After missing a large chunk of the season with a knee injury, Wright is bothered by a left quadriceps contusion. He's been limited to 14 outings, averaging 4.5 points, 3.5 assists, and 1.5 steals across 17.2 minutes of action. With Landry Shamet (hamstring) also questionable, the Wizards could be without two of their main backcourt bench contributors, and head coach Wes Unseld Jr. might have to get creative with his rotation.
Washington Wizards guard Delon Wright (knee) will miss the next four to six weeks due to an MCL sprain in his right knee, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. The ninth-year guard was playing more of a depth role this season compared to last year but was an OK contributor in deeper leagues while he averaged 5.0 points, 4.4 assists, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.6 steals per game. Now that he's set to miss an extended period of time, Bilal Coulibaly and Corey Kispert should see added time off of the bench, while Landry Shamet will also see some opportunities. All three could be solid streaming options in a wide variety of league types.
According to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, the Hornets are interested in trading for Wizards guard Delon Wright. Charlotte lost Dennis Smith Jr, who is now with the Brooklyn Nets. At the same time, Aaron Holiday, a coveted free-agent target, signed with the Houston Rockets. That said, acquiring the 31-year-old wouldn't be a consolation prize, considering he averaged 7.4 points, 3.9 assists, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.8 steals in 50 appearances with the Wizards last season. Washington added Jordan Poole and Tyus Jones to run things at the point, so Wright's fantasy ceiling would rise if he was dealt to the Hornets. Stay tuned.
Timberwolves Engaged In Talks To Acquire Delon Wright Or Monte Morris
According to Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic, the Minnesota Timberwolves have engaged with the Washington Wizards in trade talks to acquire either Monte Morris or Delon Wright. With the Wizards additions of Jordan Poole and Bilal Coulibaly, this is no surprise. NBA reporter Jake Fischer previously reported that the Wizards were seeking draft compensation for veteran guard Monte Morris, and we believe they are seeking the same compensation for Wright. The Timberwolves are searching for more depth to compete, and the Wizards are moving in the direction of a rebuild, so we could see a deal between these two teams get done soon.
Washington Wizards guard Delon Wright (illness) is feeling under the weather and will not be able to play Tuesday against the Milwaukee Bucks. Wright was a late addition to the injury report before being ruled out. The vast majority of Washington's regular starting lineup has been ruled out Tuesday, leading the way for Corey Kispert, Johnny Davis and Jordan Goodwin to all see increased roles.
