Holmes is questionable for Monday's game against the Rockets due to an illness.

Holmes has made only two appearances this season, with both coming during blowouts. His potential absence shouldn't impact Washington's rotation.

Adams (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Wizards.

Adams missed the first leg of Houston's back-to-back set in Sunday's win voer Detroit, and he's apparently not guaranteed to return to action Monday. The Rockets are seemingly planning on being cautious with Adams' usage this season, given that the veteran center is coming off right knee surgery, which sidelined him for the entire 2023-24 campaign.

Boucher produced 18 points (6-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal in 20 minutes during Sunday's 123-103 loss to the Lakers.

Boucher has been making the most of his minutes in recent games, and the veteran forward is making a strong case to see even more playing time with how he's been playing. He's scored in double digits in four of his last five outings, averaging 15.0 points and 4.8 rebounds per game in that stretch.

Poeltl closed Sunday's 123-103 loss to the Lakers with 14 points (7-12 FG), 10 rebounds, four assists and one steal in 31 minutes.

Poeltl recorded his third double-double across six outings in November. The big man is averaging a solid 14.2 points and 10.3 rebounds per game in that span, and his two-way play has been one of the few bright spots for a struggling Toronto team in 2024-25.

Edey supplied 12 points (5-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and four steals over 24 minutes during Sunday's 134-89 win over the Trail Blazers.

Edey has scored in double digits off the bench in his last two appearances, but he's also emerged as a reliable defensive presence -- which shouldn't be surprising given his size and defensive instincts. Edey is averaging 13.8 points, 8.6 rebounds, 1.6 blocks, 1.2 assists and 1.2 steals per game in November.

Jokic racked up 37 points (13-21 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 8-8 FT), 18 rebounds, 15 assists and three steals over 38 minutes during Sunday's 122-120 win over Dallas.

Jokic has been the best player in the league over the first three weeks of the regular season, and it hasn't been even close. He's the consensus No. 1 player across all fantasy formats. Jokic has posted four straight triple-doubles and has six on the season despite playing just 10 games. He's also averaging a ridiculous stat line of 28.5 points, 14.7 rebounds, 13.3 assists, 2.0 steals and 0.8 blocks per game since the beginning of November.

Gafford totaled 16 points (7-9 FG, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals in 34 minutes during Sunday's 122-120 loss to the Nuggets.

Gafford was the Mavericks' third-best scorer in this game behind Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, and he delivered an impressive all-around effort while dealing with the threat of Nikola Jokic -- a daunting task in its own right. Gafford did an excellent job filling out the stat sheet with at least two tallies in each of the five major categories. He's averaging 14.8 points, 6.6 rebounds and 1.0 blocks per game since the beginning of November and should continue to see increased minutes until Dereck Lively (shoulder) is cleared to return.

Plumlee chipped in six points (2-2 FG, 2-3 FT), 11 rebounds, six assists and one steal in 26 minutes during Sunday's 127-118 overtime loss to Sacramento.

With Jusuf Nurkic (ankle) leaving the game early, Plumlee saw increased run. He tied his season high in minutes played and set high-water marks in rebounds and assists. If Nurkic is forced to miss time, Plumlee would likely slide into the starting lineup, but the veteran center has limited upside.

Sarr ended with 11 points (3-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal over 25 minutes during Sunday's 121-94 loss to the Magic.

Sarr continues to produce solid counting stats for the Wizards, averaging 9.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 2.5 blocks, 0.6 steals and 1.0 three-pointers through eight games. His offense is still a major work in progress, however, as he's shooting 34.2 percent from the field and 20.0 percent from beyond the arc so far.

Turner closed Sunday's 132-121 victory over New York with 26 points (8-15 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal across 39 minutes.

Turner's perimeter shooting continues to turn heads, as this was his second game of the campaign with at least five three-pointers. For the season, Turner is averaging 2.2 makes per game and is on pace to shoot a career-high 40.8 percent from beyond the arc.
