Fantasy Impact: To no surprise, the veteran will miss another game on Friday. He's still working on coming back from a lingering calf injury, but it doesn't seem likely that he will return to the rotation anytime soon. Jared Butler will continue to benefit from his absence for however long Shamet remains out moving forward.

Fantasy Impact: The big man will be out on Friday because of an ankle injury. It's unclear when he will be back in the lineup, but his absence won't carry any major fantasy implications against Detroit. With him and Richaun Holmes (toe) both out, Marvin Bagley III is set to get a lot of work on Friday.

Fantasy Impact: The team has yet to put a concrete timetable on Jones' recovery, and he is going to miss another game on Friday because of it. It's tough to say when he will be back in the lineup, but any fantasy managers who need to make a push shouldn't be holding onto him at this point.

Fantasy Impact: Kispert led the Washington starters in scoring in this contest and tied with Justin Champagnie for the team lead. It still wasn’t a great performance by Kispert as a whole, even with Kyle Kuzma and Tyus Jones out. He’ll look to get his rebounding and assist numbers up against the Kings on Thursday.
