4 years agoWashington Wizards shooting guard/small forward Bradley Beal (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Atlanta, with the results of an MRI indicating that a multi-game absence could be in order. While Beal appears to have avoided a significant injury, the Wizards will play four games in the next seven days, giving him a tight window to return before a potential play-in tournament appearance. Beal has emerged as a top-tier fantasy asset this season, sitting second in the league at 31.4 PPG. His absence opens the door for Russell Westbrook to become arguably the alpha of every DFS slate that he's involved in, while Garrison Mathews and Anthony Gill could bump their way into streamer appeal during season-long championship matchups. Check back for updates on Beal's status as they become available.--Jesse Borek
