Washington Wizards

Spencer Dinwiddie finished Monday’s tilt with 16 points (6-10 FG, 2-4 3PT, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one steal, and one block in 30 minutes of action in the Wizards' 116-99 loss to the Spurs.

Fantasy Impact: Dinwiddie returned from a one game absence as the Wizards gave him the day off Saturday and will continue to do so after missing last season due to injury. Dinwiddie added some value with his 16 points but unfortunately did little else to contribute. Look for the Wizards as a whole to bounce back Wednesday when they take on the Timberwolves.

Kyle Kuzma finished Monday’s tilt with 13 points (5-9 FG, 1-3 3PT, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, and three assists to go along with one turnover in 33 minutes of action in the Wizards 116-99 loss to the Spurs.

Fantasy Impact: Kuzma has a quiet night as the Wizards drop Monday’s game to the Spurs. This performance was just under his career averages and it appears the strong start to Kuzma’s season with the Wizards has fizzled out. Look for Kuzma and the Wizards to bounce back from this one as they take kn the Timberwolves Wednesday night.

Daniel Gafford finished Monday’s tilt with 11 points (5-7 FG, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, and one block to go along with one turnover in 22 minutes of action in the Wizards' 116-99 loss to the Spurs.

Fantasy Impact: This was the second night in a row with a double-double for Gafford as he has raised his numbers this season above his career averages. Gafford should already be rostered but if he is available he should be picked up as he seems to be a legitimate double-double threat this year as he joined the starting lineup.

Bradley Beal finished Monday’s tilt with 18 points (8-21 FG, 1-5 3PT, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, and eight assists to go along with two turnovers in 36 minutes of action in the Wizards' 116-99 loss to the Spurs.

Fantasy Impact: Beal dished out a team high in assists (8) and led the team in points (18) as well in this one. Despite the loss the Wizards remain atop the Southeast division and Beal continues to be the main reason for that.

Wizards SG Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scored 20 points (8-13 FG, 4-7 3PT), adding four rebounds, two assists, and two blocks in Friday night's 101-99 win in Oklahoma City.

Fantasy Impact: KCP filled it up for those managers who were able to flex him into their lineups. He really rewarded mangers from behind the arc with four three pointers. He could be a solid option for those who need a boost in the 3PT category as he leads the team from deep.

Wizards C Montrezl Harrell had a dominant performance in a loss with 24 points (10-13 FG, 4-5 FT) and 18 rebounds on Monday night as the Wizards fell to the Hornets 109-103 in DC. The Wizards are off to a solid start but are reeling as of late, having lost three of their last four games including two to the Hornets in the past week. The Wizards look to right the ship when they travel to New Orleans to face the Pelicans on Wednesday night.

Fantasy Impact: Harrell's 24/18 came in only 27 minutes of action which is an amazing rate of performance from the big man. The Wizards won on the glass in a big way but lost from behind the arc and inevitably the scoreboard. Harrell delivered an A+ performance for his fantasy investors. Look for another strong performance from him on Saturday night against the Pelicans.

According to the official NBA G-League account, the Wizards have assigned both Rui Hachimura and Davis Bertans to their G-League affiliate. (Source: https://twitter.com/nbagleague/status/1462869737046781959?s=20)

Fantasy Impact: With both Rui Hachimura and Davis Bertan's missing near half the season, the Wizards decided to work both back slowly appointing each play to the Wizards G-Leagues affiliate.

Wizards rookie SF Corey Kispert set his young NBA career-high in points with 13 (5-10 FG, 3-7 3PT) in Thursday night's loss to the Heat in Miami. Kispert also added four rebounds in 24 minutes of action as the Heat smoked the Wizards 112-97.

Fantasy Impact: Kispert was efficient and effective with his time on the court in Miami. The rookie shooter from Gonzaga will continue to grow as he gets more opportunities. He has the ability to stretch the floor as a SF and also get to the bucket should defenders press up on him. Keep an eye on Kispert when the Wizards play host to the Heat on Saturday.

According the Wizards team press account, PG Rual Neto is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Celtics with a shoulder injury. (Source: Wizards)

Fantasy Impact: After stepping in for the injured Bradley Beal over the weekend, the veteran guard seems to have been nicked up which may force him to miss Wednesday's game. If the veteran is absent, expect Kyle Kuzma and Aaron Holiday to see extended minutes. Holiday played 18 minutes and contributed four rebounds and 11 points in Beal's absence against the Nets, he is not worth rostering in fantasy formats outside of DFS.

Wizards PG Aaron Holiday started in place of the injured Bradley Beal (hip) and logged seven points (2-6 FG, 1-3 3PT, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists, and two blocks in 25 minutes.

Fantasy Impact: Aaron isn't the Holiday that should be on your rosters. He and Raul Neto were the primary replacements for Beal and it was Net who made the most of it.

After it was initially tweeted hours ago, Russell Westbrook is now officially on his way to the Lakers in part of a huge blockbuster trade. (Source: Shams Charania on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Westbrook is obviously a huge fantasy talent and while his points may very well take a back seat in LA, his assists and efficiency numbers should rise surrounded by so much talent.

Washington Wizards C Robin Lopez finished with 18 points (9-11 FG), six rebounds, one assist and one steal in 27 minutes during Sunday's 115-110 victory over the Hornets.

Fantasy Impact: Lopez flexed his muscle in an important game for the Wizards as they took down the Hornets. The veteran grabbed six boards and 18 points in a five-point victory. He remains the second center behind Daniel Gafford as the Wizards enter the playoffs.

Washington Wizards PG Ish Smith compiled 14 points (7-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt), eight rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Sunday's 115-110 victory over Charlotte.

Fantasy Impact: Smith saw plenty of run off the bench as the Wizards stormed home to snatch victory. With Raul Neto (hamstring) on the sidelines, Smith stepped into a sizeable role and came through with the goods. He has actually been a sneaky source of value over the past four games, and he is hitting form at just the right time with the play-in tournament now beckoning.

Washington Wizards C Alex Len totaled six points (2-6 FG, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, two steals, and one block in a 120-116 loss to the Hawks on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact: On the offensive side of the ball, the veteran center struggled to add in just six points. He did hit the glass and play defense effectively, however. Len has three-plus defensive stats in each of his last three games. Over that stretch, Len has averaged 5.3 points, 7.7 rebounds, 2.0 blocks and 1.0 steals per game.

Wizards rookie F Deni Avdija (ankle) will miss the remainder of the season after suffering a hairline fracture. (Source: Adrian Wojnarowski on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Avdija was having a very solid rookie season but will now be out for the remainder of the 2020-21 campaign. Look for Davis Bertans and Daniel Gafford to pick up a few extra minutes with Avdija out for the season.
