Deni Avdija (heel) available Thursday for Wizards
Washington Wizards forward Deni Avdija (left heel contusion) is available for Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers.
What It Means:
Avdija has been upgraded from questionable and will return from a three-game absence. He will likely reclaim his starting spot from Corey Kispert on Thursday night. Landry Shamet will have fewer minutes available, but he should still benefit while Bilal Coulibaly (pelvis) remains out.
numberFire's models project Avdija for 32.0 minutes and 33.5 FanDuel points on Thursday. Per our NBA Heat Map, the Wizards' implied total (117.25) is No. 4 out of 16 active teams today, while the game total (244.0) is the highest on the board.
