Wizards will be shorthanded against the Heat
Washington Wizards forwards Kris Humphries (knee), Drew Gooden (calf) and Otto Porter (hip) have all been ruled out for Wednesday's game versus the Miami Heat.
The Wizards will be seriously lacking depth, and with Humphries, Gooden and Porter all out, Jared Dudley and Marcin Gortat will likely see heavy minutes. Nene Hilario will do as much as he can in his bench role, as well. Dudley and Gortat offer the most fantasy upside out of the bunch.
Porter owns the best nERD of the three Wizards to miss Wednesday's game at 0.5, which ranks 72nd. Humphries is next with a -1.2 nERD (89th) while Gooden is not far behind at -1.4 (91st). Gortat and Dudley have the tough task of facing the Heat, who own the eighth-best defensive rating, according to our metrics.
