Wizards 92, Jazz 88: AJ Dybantsa Scores 27 Without a Three, Utah's Comeback Dies at the Line

Washington led by 20, survived a 51-38 second half, and won this one the old way: 16-of-21 from the stripe against a Jazz team whistled for 33 fouls.

Fantasy calls (wins and losses)

Sleeper·TreVeyon Henderson (RB, NE)

pending

Finishes as a top-14 PPR RB in 2026

The price this argues against: Priced as the RB24 — ADP 58.9 (pick 5.11), market range 43-70

This is a price argument, not a prophecy. The market lets you have Henderson in round 5 as the RB24 while paying round-2 prices for backs with similar draft-capital pedigrees. Pass-catching backs with fresh legs are exactly the profile that outruns a round-5 tag in PPR, and the 43-70 market range says plenty of rooms already agree with the optimistic half of this take. If he's a committee back all year, this call loses — publicly.

Grading is mechanical (positional finish rank <= 14) — settles post-season (after Week 18).

Bust·Christian McCaffrey (RB, SF)

pending

Finishes OUTSIDE the top 8 PPR RBs in 2026

The price this argues against: Priced as the RB3 — ADP 4.8 (pick 1.05), market range 1-9

Nobody disputes the talent — this call is about what a top-5 pick has to return. McCaffrey turns 30 this season, and the market's own 1-9 range on him is the widest of any first-round back, which tells you drafters are already pricing real downside into a slot where you can't afford any. At pick 1.05 you need a top-5 season for the pick to break even; I'd rather pay 1.05 for certainty and buy my upside later. If he posts another elite year, this loss goes on my record where everyone can see it.

Grading is mechanical (positional finish rank >= 9) — settles post-season (after Week 18).

Pick history (wins and losses)

spread·Wizards @ Jazz (SL, Jul 9)

loss

Jazz +2.5(-112)

Utah's second-half adjustments have been sharp all week and Washington plays two rookies 28+ minutes. Late legs favor the home rotation.

Settled: Wizards 92-88 — Utah's 51-38 second half fell just short; lost by 4, no cover at +2.5.

moneyline·Pistons @ 76ers (Vegas SL, Jul 9)

win

76ers ML(-125)

Philadelphia has the two best two-way rebounders in this matchup and Detroit's backcourt is careless under pressure. Home side of a short number.

Settled: 76ers 101-93. Broome controlled the glass: 13 boards, 8 offensive.
