Wed Mar 2021:19Richaun Holmes Questionable Against The Kings
Washington Wizards center Richaun Holmes (illness) is questionable heading into Thursday's showdown with the Kings. He recently returned from a three-game layoff because of a sprained big toe. But now the 30-year-old could miss Wednesday's contest because of a non-COVID-illness. With Deni Avdija (knee) questionable and Marvin Bagley III (back) out, Corey Kispert could find himself staying in the starting lineup. Jared Butler and Justin Champagnie, combining for 31 points in the loss to Houston on Tuesday, may continue to get enough minutes to keep them relevant for DFS contests if Holmes doesn't suit up.

Sat Mar 1618:22Richaun Holmes Set To Return On Saturday
Washington Wizards forward/center Richaun Holmes (toe) will return from a three-game absence on Saturday against Chicago. He has recovered from a toe sprain and should jump straight into the starting unit, with Washington lacking options at center. Holmes has notched a double-double in each of his past two starts. He will face a tough challenge on the boards against Nikola Vucevic and Andre Drummond on Saturday, but Holmes has always been a good per-minute producer, and he should get all the minutes he can handle, as Marvin Bagley III (back) remains out of the lineup.

Fri Mar 1517:05Richaun Holmes Picks Up Questionable Tag Versus Bulls
Washington Wizards center Richaun Holmes (toe) has been listed as questionable again for Saturday night against the Chicago Bulls. The veteran big man has missed the last three games while dealing with a sprained big toe and is now in danger of missing a fourth in a row. If he can suit up, Holmes would take the starting center spot again. They've been rolling with a small-ball lineup in their starting five with Deni Avdija (knee), Corey Kispert, and Kyle Kuzma in the frontcourt. Since Avdija is also listed as questionable, Holmes could be in line for an even bigger role if he misses the game. Kuzma and Kispert would be the biggest beneficiaries if Holmes has to remain sidelined.

Thu Mar 1417:52Richaun Holmes Downgraded On Thursday
Washington Wizards center Richaun Holmes (toe) won't play on Thursday against the Houston Rockets. He has already missed two games because of a big toe strain and was listed as questionable heading into the contest, so he appeared to at least have a chance to return. However, he's still not ready to go, meaning his next opportunity to suit up will be Saturday in Chicago. With Marvin Bagley III (back) also sidelined, Kyle Kuzma will likely continue to hold things down in the middle. Corey Kispert, coming off an impressive 22-point effort in Tuesday's loss to Memphis, is worth streaming in any fantasy format. Kispert is also an ideal value option in DFS contests.

Wed Mar 1320:17Richaun Holmes Questionable Against Rockets
Washington Wizards center Richaun Holmes (toe) has appeared on the injury report again as questionable while he deals with a big toe sprain on his left foot. The 30-year-old big man has missed the team's last two games and is now in danger of missing a third. Since joining the Wizards, he's averaged 5.9 points and 3.9 rebounds while receiving 14.6 minutes per game. He only appeared in the starting lineup once because Marvin Bagley III (back) is higher in the rotation whenever he plays. If Holmes does suit up, he may be a solid streaming option for some highly efficient points and a few rebounds. On the other hand, if he doesn't play, the Wizards will likely go small again with Bilal Coulibaly and Deni Avdija playing in the frontcourt.

Mon Mar 1123:39Richaun Holmes Back On The Injury Report
Washington Wizards center Richaun Holmes (toe) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup with the Memphis Grizzlies. Marvin Bagley III (back) has missed the last three games, so Holmes had been getting extra work, most recently coming off a 14-point, 11-rebound double-double on Friday in the win over Charlotte. Unfortunately, he's dealing with a big toe sprain and wasn't available on Sunday versus Miami. If Holmes is ruled out on Tuesday, the Wizards will likely keep the lineup smaller than usual, with Kyle Kuzma handling things in the middle. In addition, Corey Kispert, who had 22 points and six boards against the Heat, would remain an ideal fantasy streaming option if Holmes misses a second straight contest.

Sun Mar 1017:39Richaun Holmes Won't Play On Sunday
Washington Wizards forward/center Richaun Holmes (toe) has been downgraded from questionable to out for Sunday's game against Miami. The 30-year-old exits the lineup after putting in a pair of strong performances, having earned extended playing time due to the absence of Marvin Bagley III (back). With no alternatives left at the center position, Kyle Kuzma could be looking at a heavy shift as a small-ball five on Sunday in a tough matchup against a defensively solid team.

Sun Mar 1014:40Richaun Holmes Uncertain For Sunday Night
Washington Wizards center Richaun Holmes (toe) is questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Miami Heat. With Marvin Bagley III (back) sidelined of late, Holmes has been getting some work. He most recently amassed a double-double on Friday night versus the Charlotte Hornets. However, Holmes is in danger of missing Sunday's clash with the Heat because of a big toe sprain. That type of injury is never easy on anyone, especially for a player of his stature. As a result, fantasy managers may not have him, which would likely mean Kyle Kuzma will slide over to the five spot and Corey Kispert moving into the starting lineup. But if Holmes plays, he's worth streaming in any fantasy lineup.

Fri Feb 915:49Marvin Bagley III, Richaun Holmes Out Friday
Washington Wizards centers Marvin Bagley III (back) and Richaun Holmes (recently traded) will both be inactive for Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. The two big men are set to serve as Washington's primary centers when available, but the oft-injured Bagley will miss a fourth consecutive game due to a lower back contusion, and the Wizards just acquired Holmes in a trade on Thursday. Bagley and Holmes will try to return versus the visiting Philadelphia 76ers for the second leg of a back-to-back on Saturday. Considering Daniel Gafford is out of the fold as well, this game could have a hard time staying competitive. Kyle Kuzma is in line to start at the five in a tough spot against a Celtics group that sits second in opponent field-goal percentage (44.9%) in 2023-24. Kristaps Porzingis could feast in a smash spot on Friday.

Thu Feb 817:02Wizards Land Richaun Holmes Thursday
The Washington Wizards have acquired center Richaun Holmes and draft compensation from the Dallas Mavericks in exchange for Daniel Gafford. With Gafford's departure vacating the starting center role in D.C., Holmes is a popular waiver-wire fantasy addition on Thursday. Marvin Bagley III (back) is also a big winner of the deal, but the oft-injured former top pick is currently sidelined due to a lower back contusion. Holmes hasn't been fantasy relevant since the 2021-22 campaign with the Sacramento Kings, where he averaged 10.4 points on 66.0% shooting from the floor, 7.0 rebounds, and 0.9 blocks in 23.9 minutes covering 45 games. While the 30-year-old has a big opportunity to recapture some semblance of that productivity and make an impact in the 6-41 Wizards' thin frontcourt, he's only worth a speculative add at this stage. His debut should come on Friday against the Boston Celtics.

Sat Jan 623:43Richaun Holmes Not Expected To Play On Sunday
Dallas Mavericks center Richaun Holmes (personal) is doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves. The 30-year-old has missed the last two games, so it appears he's moving toward another absence. That said, Holmes has rarely seen the floor this season, averaging 3.8 rebounds and 3.4 points in 10.6 minutes per contest. He could see more action on Sunday, if he plays, considering Dereck Lively II (ankle) is expected to miss another game. However, Dwight Powell should get the most minutes in the middle, although he likely won't offer fantasy managers anything outside of rebounds.

Fri Jan 515:54Dante Exum, Richaun Holmes Both Ruled Out On Friday
Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (heel) and center Richaun Holmes (personal) have both been downgraded from doubtful to out on Friday. Given the doubtful tag, this isn't a surprise that they're not playing, but at least the team made it official with plenty of time before the game. This will be their second consecutive game missed, but Exum's absence will likely be felt more than Holmes' since he only sees 10.6 minutes a night. Exum has enjoyed a career resurgence of sorts but has come back to Earth a bit since Kyrie Irving returned. In place of Exum, Tim Hardaway Jr. and Seth Curry should see some extra minutes. With Holmes out and Dereck Lively II (ankle) questionable, Dwight Powell could see some heavy minutes at center.

Wed Jan 18 202321:34Richaun Holmes Gets Starting Nod
Sacramento Kings center Richaun Holmes will move into the starting five for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Fellow big man Domantas Sabonis (illness) has been ruled out for this contest. Holmes will get to play with the starting unit for the first time this season. He was fantastic last season before the Kings acquired Sabonis mid-season in a trade. Since then, Holmes has struggled to carve out a significant role in the rotation. Holmes won't have long term value, but he could be worth looking at for Wednesday's slate. Alex Len and Trey Lyles will likely also see more minutes, but Holmes has the highest ceiling out of the trio.

Thu Nov 17 202222:00Richaun Holmes Out On Thursday
Sacramento Kings center Richaun Holmes (illness) won't suit up for Thursday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The 29-year-old continues to be sidelined due to a non-COVID related illness. Holmes wasn't making much of an impact in Sacramento lately anyway. The arrival of Domantas Sabonis has halted most of Holmes value. He could have fantasy value outside of Sacramento, but he probably won't have daily value while still with the Kings.

Sat Mar 19 202210:10Richaun Holmes Will Miss Remainder Of 2021-22 Season
Sacramento Kings center Richaun Holmes (personal) has been ruled out for the rest of the year due to personal reasons. Holmes concludes the season having averaged 10.4 points and seven rebounds across 45 games (37 starts), all while shooting a career-best 66% overall. Domantas Sabonis' arrival figured to complicate Holmes' role down the stretch, but his absence now paves the way for the new face of the Kings' franchise to continue seeing a significant role over the final few weeks. Holmes still has three years and roughly $36 million on his current deal, as it remains to be seen how Sacramento makes best use of him in the years to come.

Sat Mar 5 202216:46Richaun Holmes Will Play Against Mavs
Sacramento Kings center Richaun Holmes (back) will return on Saturday versus Dallas. The 28-year-old has missed his previous five contests because of a back ailment. However, there is a chance his workload may be restricted, although he could still get enough minutes to limit the fantasy ceilings of Trey Lyles and Damian Jones.

Sat Mar 5 202215:25Richaun Holmes In Danger Of Missing Another Game
Sacramento Kings center Richaun Holmes (back) may not play against the Mavericks on Saturday. The 28-year-old is questionable because of lower back soreness, and if he doesn't see the floor against Dallas, it will mark his sixth consecutive absence. If that's the case, Damian Jones and Trey Lyles may continue to split time. However, both men are risky options in all fantasy formats.

Mon Feb 28 202219:47Richaun Holmes Won't Play Monday
Sacramento Kings center Richaun Holmes (back) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Holmes was expected to play, but it seems something happened to him during shootaround. Trey Lyles will move into the starting five, which shifts Maurice Harkless to the second unit. The fact Lyles is starting does give him a boost in fantasy value. However, he'll remain a low-end streaming option as he normally only plays minutes in the teens.

Mon Feb 28 202218:49Richaun Holmes Likely To Return On Monday
Sacramento Kings power forward/center Richaun Holmes (back) appears likely to return to the court for Monday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. According to multiple reports, Kings head coach Alvin Gentry told the media that he believes Holmes will be ready for the game. Holmes sat out each of the team's last two games with a sore back. Trey Lyles and Alex Len saw increased minutes with Holmes out, but both players will have their minutes reduced if Holmes indeed takes the floor on Monday.

Thu Feb 24 202221:39Richaun Holmes Will Sit Out On Thursday
Sacramento Kings center Richaun Holmes (back) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Holmes has lost a ton of value with Domantas Sabonis joining the Kings roster. In fact, Holmes only played 10 minutes in their last game before the All-Star break. That being said, there isn't a ton of minutes available with Holmes sitting out. Possibly, Chimezie Metu has a bigger role, but Sabonis will likely also absorb some more minutes. At this point, Holmes is looking like a cut-candidate in most formats.
