3 years agoWashington Wizards power forward Kyle Kuzma (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday's contest against Chicago due to right knee tendinitis. The fact that Kuzma has been consistently ruled out ahead of time, combined with the lack of timeline provided for his return is indicative that it could stretch beyond his current six-game stint on the sidelines. Rui Hachimura has shifted into the starting five in Kuzma's absence and averaged 10.6 points and five rebounds in that stretch, earning himself some DFS appeal with a solid floor. Three different Wizards have led Washington in scoring without Kuzma in the mix, as Kristaps Porzingis has taken over No. 1 scoring duties for the time being.--Jesse Borek
