Salaün is on track to be available for Wednesday’s game, but he has not been productive enough to have an impact on fantasy basketball. And with Grant Williams (knee) available, Salaün could potentially be out of the rotation entirely.

Simpson’s absence due to a strained right hip flexor does not affect fantasy basketball, as he is not in the Hornets’ rotation on most nights.

While his fantasy value has remained relatively low, Johnson’s status as a starter gives him some appeal during the “silly season.” The rookie guard shot 3-of-6 from three and did not commit a turnover in Monday’s defeat. Johnson isn’t a must-add right now, but it won’t be long until targeting him will be a worthwhile endeavor for fantasy managers.

Due to Trae Young’s continued absence, Carrington’s opportunities have not been an issue for fantasy managers. And that may make him worth the risk ahead of the “silly season.” A 39 percent shooter from the field over the past week, Carrington was considerably better than that on Monday. Add in the rebounds and assists, and Monday’s performance was a good one for the second-year guard.

George had an opportunity to give the Wizards a one-point lead late, but his three-point attempt fell short. That summed up the day for the second-year wing, who struggled with his shot and racked up six turnovers. Performances this inefficient have not been the norm for George this season, so fantasy managers should not be too concerned.

Five days removed from getting ejected during the first quarter of a loss to the Clippers, Sarr hung around throughout Monday’s rematch. And he was excellent, recording a complete stat line on good percentages. Over the past month, Sarr has offered fourth-round value in 12-team formats, which aligns with his season-long value.

Miller handled the bulk of the scoring duties for the Hornets on the second night of a back-to-back with Miles Bridges, LaMelo Ball and rookie sensation Kon Knueppel taking a back seat in a one-sided affair. The 23-year-old forward drained 6-of-10 shots, including 4-of-4 from three-point range, to score 18 of his 23 points by halftime. He was able to take off most of the final quarter after Charlotte built up a 33-point advantage in the final stanza. The Hornets have a three-game week coming up that features matchups against the Cavaliers, Magic and Wizards.

Kalkbrenner had no trouble exploiting Denver’s extreme lack of interior defense by shooting 80 percent from the floor in limited minutes off the bench as he continues to work his way back from a left elbow sprain. The 24-year-old rookie center continues to split time with Moussa Diabate, who has been battling lingering hip and hamstring issues, and finished with four points and nine boards in 25 minutes during this one.

After sitting out Saturday’s loss to the Warriors, Diabaté will start in Denver, pushing Ryan Kalkbrenner to the bench. While he will remain in the rotation, Kalkbrenner’s fantasy ceiling takes a significant hit due to the lineup change. Also, Ball’s return to the starting lineup pushes Sion James to the bench.

Diabaté is back after sitting out Saturday’s loss to the Warriors. His return affects Ryan Kalkbrenner the most, as the rookie moved into the starting lineup on Saturday. Diabaté’s return means fewer minutes for Kalkbrenner, especially if he moves back to the bench.

Vukčević will miss a third consecutive game with a knee injury. His continued absence does not affect the Wizards’ rotation, as Alex Sarr and Marvin Bagley III are healthy.

Coulibaly injured his back during Wednesday’s loss to the Clippers and will not be available for Monday’s rematch, making it three consecutive games on the sidelines. Bub Carrington has started the last two games and should remain in that role, raising his fantasy ceiling.

Middleton was back in the Wizards’ lineup after sitting out Friday’s loss to the Kings, pushing Justin Champagnie (13/9/1/3 in 26 minutes) to the bench. Middleton was productive in his 27 minutes, but the few who have him rostered should be hoping to see him traded before the February 5 deadline. Already not playing both games of back-to-backs, availability could become an even bigger issue for Middleton managers if he isn’t traded.

The good is that Sarr shot the ball well from the field and was active on the glass. The bad was that he had a brutal night at the foul line and did not record any steals or blocked shots. That has not been a common occurrence for Sarr, so fantasy managers should not be too concerned about Saturday’s performance. The Wizards begin a three-game Week 14 on Monday against the Clippers.

Saturday’s game was the best for George since returning from the hip injury that sidelined him for seven games. The 29 points were the most in a game for him since Washington’s second game of the season, and he was also effective setting up others. As long as he stays healthy, George should be a fantasy standout the rest of the season. Managers in 10-team leagues should ensure that he isn’t sitting on the waiver wire.

Miller came out of the gate hot and finished 6-of-11 from three-point range, falling just short of reaching the 30-point mark for the third time this season. The issue for Charlotte in this one was one the defensive end of the floor as they allowed Golden State to pile up 136 points on 55 percent (51-of-93) shooting, including 44 percent (23-of-52) from beyond the arc. The Hornets have a three-game week coming up with matchups against the Cavaliers, Magic and Wizards.

Knueppel’s phenomenal rookie campaign continues. The 20-year-old sharpshooter drained 4-of-5 from three-point range and topped 20 points for the first time since January 5. He’s contributed fifth-round fantasy value this season, averaging 19.2 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.2 blocks through 41 games.

While LaMelo Ball is available, Saturday’s game is the first of two in as many nights. For injury management reasons, he’ll come off the bench, with James moving into the starting five. The other change is Kalkbrenner, who’s starting in place of the injured Moussa Diabaté (hamstring).

Diabaté has been downgraded after initially being listed as questionable. Ryan Kalkbrenner should start at center, with Grant Williams available to fill out the reserve minutes. Kalkbrenner should see a nice boost in production as a starter.

Vukčević will miss a second straight game, but with both Alex Sarr and Marvin Bagley III healthy and available, he likely wouldn’t have seen the floor much regardless.

Middleton sat the first leg of this back-to-back, but he will be back to take on Denver. His return should push Bub Carrington back to the bench after he nearly recorded a double-double as a starter in Friday’s loss.

Carrington returned to the starting lineup for this game with Bilal Coulibaly (back) and Khris Middleton (knee) sidelined. He was able to bounce back after struggling in Wednesday’s loss where he shot 1-of-11. In this game, he was efficient as a shooter and nearly recorded his first double-double of the season. Carrington likely won’t remain in that role consistently, but he was able to have a productive night in an increased role. He could start again in Denver on Saturday, assuming Coulibaly and Middleton weren’t both just resting on the first night of a back-to-back.

Sarr had a big first half for Washington and entered the break with 18 points. Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to contribute much after halftime. Sarr has had a strong second season, and the first half was indicative of that. He didn’t do much else in the box score, but that hasn’t been the case for more of the year. He’ll look to bounce back in Denver on Saturday, which should be a favorable matchup with Nikola Jokic and Jonas Valanciunas still sidelined.

Diabaté had been dealing with a hip injury, but now he’s managing a hamstring injury. If he is unavailable, Ryan Kalkbrenner should return to the starting lineup, and with a lack of other center options, he should play over 30 minutes.
