Wall (illness) has been downgraded to a game-time decision for Saturday's matchup against the Suns, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wall was initially cleared to play while battling an illness, but it appears he's taken a turn for the worse. There's a chance he'll still take the court, but the situation is worth monitoring. If he's sidelined, Tomas Satoransky would probably draw the start at point guard.

Wall (illness) has been cleared to play Saturday against the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
Wall and Markieff Morris both missed Friday's practice session because of an illness, but Wall wasn't listed on Washington's latest injury report. He should start and figures to take on his usual workload Saturday.

Wall was sidelined during Friday's practice due to an illness, Chase Hughes of NBC Sports Washington reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wall was joined by teammate Markieff Morris, who was also dealing with an illness. It's unclear how severe Wall's bug is, but the point guard should, for now, be considered questionable for Saturday's home game against the Suns. More clarity on Wall should come by Saturday morning at the latest.

Wall recorded 18 points (5-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 8-8 FT), four rebounds, 12 assists, and two steals in 39 minutes Wednesday as the Wizards fell to the Rockets.
EDGE Analysis
After exploding for 40 points on December 16th against the Lakers, Wall has failed to break the 20-point threshold for the second straight game. The star guard worked his way to the charity stripe and didn't miss on eight attempts which boosted his scoring output on a night where his shot wasn't falling elsewhere. Regardless, he seems to be on the upswing and is starting to pile up dimes, collecting 58 of them over the course of his last five games.

Wall scored 15 points (6-18 FG, 3-11 3Pt), and contributed six assists in 26 minutes during Tuesday's loss to Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Wall followed up his best game of the season with a dud as he found himself in foul trouble early and was unable to find a rhythm throughout the game. Despite the Wizards struggles this year, Wall has continued to be a fantasy juggernaut and is producing to the tune of 21.5 points, 8.9 assists, 3.6 rebounds, 1.6 steals, 1.6 threes and 1.0 steal per game. The ninth-year guard will look to bounce back Wednesday against the Rockets.

Wall went off for 40 points (16-27 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 14 assists, six rebounds, three steals, and two blocks in 42 minutes during Sunday's 128-110 win over the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
Wall finished with a season high in scoring while recording his third straight double-double. He's hauling in a career low rebounding average, but otherwise Wall's fall from grace has mostly been exaggerated, at least when it comes to statistical production. He remains an elite option at the guard position and unless he's dealt before the trade deadline he'll likely be forced to shoulder a heavy burden along with backcourt mate Bradley Beal. The next three games versus the Hawks, Rockets, and Suns represent excellent opportunities for Wall to contribute more fantasy-friendly counting stats against weak defensive units.

Wall registered 34 points (14-26 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-8 FT), six rebounds, 13 assists, two steals, and one block in 41 minutes Wednesday as the Wizards came up short against the Celtics.
EDGE Analysis
Wall took a spill in the fourth quarter that likely would have had any regular joe in the hospital, but he returned and went head-to-head with Kyrie Irving in the Celtics, nearly willing the Wizards to a win. So far in the 2018-19 season Wall has shown a commitment to taking more shots at the rim and from deep, while sacrificing some of the mid-range shots. His efficiency from deep leaves plenty to be desired, Wall can attack the rim like few other guards in the NBA and has proven to be one of the better distributors this league has to offer. The veteran point guard is a known commodity in fantasy hoops at this point.

Wall (heel) will play and start Wednesday against the Celtics, Candace Buckner of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wall has missed two of the past three games due to a heel injury, but is feeling good enough ahead of Wednesday's contest to take the floor. While Wall may be healthy enough to play, he makes for a risky DFS option considering he's likely still dealing with soreness. Austin Rivers will presumably head to the bench with Wall entering the starting five.

Wall (heel) has been downgraded to questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Celtics, Chase Hughes of NBC Sports Washington reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wall was previously listed a probable, so it appears he's not feeling as well as he hoped leading up to tipoff. If he ends up missing the game, Tomas Satoransky and Austin Rivers would function as low-cost DFS options. Satoransky has averaged 31.2 fantasy points in Wall's two absences, while Austin Rivers has averaged 27.3 fantasy points under that condition.
