Adjusting COVID quarantine procedures to reflect more current transmission data while allowing NBA regulars to return earlier is a good thing, but this potentially sucks for Goodwin, so I hate it:

Does this guarantee him 10 days on the team? If not, does it guarantee him the 10 days of pay at the minimum NBA scale?

It guarantees him 10 days on the team and 10 days pay.

So much can change in just a few days.  At first a bunch of other teams were getting hit by COVID and the Wizards were largely avoiding it which was a bummer for Goodwin.  Now the Wizards are getting hit hard which sucks in general, but is good for JGood's changes of getting minutes.  They have 7 players in COVID protocols now and only 11 players healthy/available for tonight including Goodwin.  They just added Craig Sword (another G league guard who was behind Goodwin on the G League depth chart) to make it 12.

The guys in protocols include Raul Neto and Aaron Holiday who are the primary backup PGs to Spencer Dinwiddie.  Cassius Winston will likely get some run as the backup PG tonight, but Goodwin could also.

According to NBA.com, it looks like its on Bally Sports Sun which I assume serves southern Florida.  It would be awesome if Charter or other local providers could figure out a way to put it on the alternate Bally's Sports MW channel tonight.  That channel shows a lot of Pacers and Grizzlies games.

So does anyone know how depleted their roster is ? in other words what is his chance of getting in the game. 

Here is their depth chart via ESPN.  Guys with a red O next to their name are out.  Lots of red ink.

Only PG / SG left on the 1st 3 places of the chart is Spencer Dinwiddie.  I think Goodwin has a pretty good chance of playing.  I've seen some folks on twitter saying Brad Beal is questionable for tonight, so maybe he's no longer in protocols?  Even if he does play, I'd guess his minutes will be limited.
