Bradley Beal B. Beal

Bradley Beal (bereavement) will not play Saturday for Wizards

Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal (personal) will not play Saturday versus the Orlando Magic.

What It Means:

Beal will be away from the team to mourn the death of his grandmother. Aaron Holiday, Raul Neto, and Deni Avdija all stand to see more minutes Saturday with Beal out. Spencer Dinwiddie and Kyle Kuzma should see larger roles on offense to fill the void. Holiday drew the start earlier this season in Beal's only other absence, but the Wizards haven't announced a starter yet for Saturday.

Holiday played 25.1 minutes as a starter in the second game of the season and logged a 13.1% usage rate while scoring 18.4 FanDuel points. Dinwiddie led the Wizards with a 35.5% usage rate and scored a season-best 53.7 FanDuel points in that contest.
