Wizards' Vernon Carey Jr. (quad) added to injury report

Washington Wizards center Vernon Carey Jr. (right quad contusion) has been added to the injury report as questionable for Wednesday versus the Chicago Bulls.

What It Means:

Carey is a late addition to the injury report for Wednesday night's matchup. The Wizards downgraded Kristaps Porzingis (right rib contusion) and Daniel Gafford (right ankle sprain) from questionable to out, so Taj Gibson will likely be forced to log extended minutes at center if Carey is also unavailable. Rui Hachimura also figures to play minutes at the five if Carey is out. On the other hand, if Carey is active, he could be a streaming option for a Wizards team that will be thin up front.

Carey is now numberFire's second-best point-per-dollar value on Wednesday's eight-game slate. He has a $3,500 salary and is projected for 23.0 FanDuel points over 20.0 minutes. Gibson ($3,700) is projected for 17.7 FanDuel points in 20.0 minutes. The Bulls are giving up the fourth-fewest rebounds per game to the center position this season.
