Fantasy Impact: Young was traded to the Wizards midseason and has played just five games with the team. He declined his $49 million player option earlier in the offseason, but that proved to be the first step in securing a long-term deal with Washington. With Young locked down for the near future and the No. 1 overall pick in hand, the Wizards could be an interesting team to watch heading into next season.

Sharife Cooper scored 17 points (6-10 FG, 2-5 3P, 3-3 FT) with a rebound and four assists in the Wizards' 129-98 loss to the Bulls.

Fantasy Impact: Cooper tied with Bub Carrington for the team lead in turnovers with five, not something you like to be in the lead for. He will look to have some better nights to end the season on a high note in the final days of the regular season.

Bub Carrington scored 14 points (5-12 FG, 2-8 3P, 2-2 FT) with four rebounds and seven assists in the Wizards' 129-98 blowout loss to the Bulls.

Fantasy Impact: Carrington struggled from three in this game, hitting just 25% of his attempts from downtown. He also struggled with turnovers with five, certainly not his best night as far as ball security is concerned. He will look to have some redemption as the regular season comes to a close.

Julian Reese scored 17 points (8-16 FG, 1-5 FT) to go with 16 rebounds and three steals in Sunday's loss to the Nets.

Fantasy Impact: Reese is not being given an opportunity to show what he can in every game, but when he gets the chance, he has been taking advantage. The rookie out of Maryland has been particularly impressive on the boards, averaging 13.8 over his last four games.
