Wizards Land Richaun Holmes Thursday
3 months agoThe 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.
