4 years agoWashington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal has been deemed a close COVID-19 contact of Boston's Jayson Tatum, ruling him out for Saturday's game versus Miami as a part of the league's health and safety protocols. Washington was already set to be down Russell Westbrook (quadriceps) on Saturday, allowing Raul Neto to enter the starting five. But without both of the team's leading scorers, multiple Wizards will be on the table as DFS options due to the increased shot attempts that will have to be allocated. Beal enters play Saturday leading the league in scoring at 35 points per game. Check back for updates on his status as they become available, but for now, his next chance at returning to action comes Monday against Phoenix.--Jesse Borek
