Connaughton has not played more than six minutes in any of the four games he’s played since returning from a strained calf that sidelined him for nearly a month. Even if he’s available on Wednesday, there’s no need to consider rostering him in fantasy leagues.

George is set to miss a third straight game with this hip flexor strain. Tre Johnson should continue to start in his place and has been on fire recently.

Ball has scored at least 22 points in five of his last six games. The story with the 24-year-old point guard Monday has been the same for most of the season. Ball had a good game with 26 points, seven assists and six three-points, but also had six turnovers. It’s his second game in a row with six turnovers and third time he’s had six turnovers in a game this month. Ball is averaging 3.8 turnovers per game in December. It’s been a drag on his value in nine-category leagues.

Miller had his first game with at least 30 points this year. He had a dunk on Kyle Kuzma in transition with seven minutes left in the fourth quarter, complete with trash talk. The 23-year-old small forward had 31 points on the night, but Miller wasn’t particularly efficient going 9-of-22 from the field. He got it done at the foul line by sinking 10-of-12 free throws. Miller is averaging 18.2 points per game in December. He’ll have to improve his field goal percentage to become a more consistent scorer.

While backcourt partner Tre Johnson could not miss from downtown on Monday, making all five of his three-point attempts, McCollum was ice-cold. The veteran guard was 0-of-5 from deep, a negative for what could have been an outstanding offensive night. McCollum is providing 11th-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats, doing enough to provide consistent fantasy value.

A double-digit scorer in six straight and seven of his last eight games, Johnson had the best night of his rookie season on Monday. The lottery pick out of Texas shot 5-of-5 from beyond the arc, finishing with his first 20-point game. He should remain in the starting lineup as long as the Wizards are without Kyshawn George, who has missed the last two games with a hip injury. The “silly season” isn’t here yet, but Johnson is worth a look in deep leagues.

As expected, the Wizards will not have Khris Middleton on Monday, as it is the team’s second game in as many nights. However, it will be Watkins who replaces him in the starting lineup and not Justin Champagnie. Both players should play plenty, especially with Johnson still under a minutes restriction. Sarr’s minutes will also be restricted, meaning a bit more playing time for Marvin Bagley III off the bench.

James is good to go after initially being questionable for Monday’s game. With fellow rookie Kon Knueppel (ankle) out, James may move into the Hornets’ starting lineup due to his defensive ability.

Middleton played on Sunday, but he’ll sit out the second leg of Washington’s back-to-back set. George will miss a second straight contest.

Champagnie wasn’t the pick to fill in for the injured Kyshawn George on Sunday, as Tre Johnson received the starting nod, but that did not prevent him from providing value. Champagnie recorded his second double-double of the season and was an assist shy of a complete stat line. And a return to the starting lineup could be in the cards with the Wizards hosting the Suns on Monday. Khris Middleton (10/6/2/1/1) has not played both games of any back-to-backs this season, so he may be trending toward not playing. If he sits, Champagnie has a good chance of starting.

With Kyshawn George unavailable, Johnson made his first NBA start on Sunday. While the final stat line isn’t going to set the fantasy basketball world ablaze, this was a solid performance for the sixth overall pick in last June’s draft. Johnson’s fantasy value remains low, but his name is one to keep in mind ahead of the “silly season,” especially if the Wizards move CJ McCollum (16/4/5 with one three-pointer) or Khris Middleton ahead of the February trade deadline.

While his season-long fantasy value has not met expectations, Coulibaly has been a better asset to category-league managers recently. Over the past week, he has provided top-75 value in eight- and nine-cat formats, sitting just outside the top-50 in the latter. Coulibaly is rostered in 23 percent of Yahoo! leagues, and those who have held onto him for this long might as well remain patient. The third-year wing missed both games of Washington’s most recent back-to-back, so he should be considered questionable for Monday’s game against the Suns.

The individual matchup between Sarr and Memphis’ Jaren Jackson Jr. did not disappoint, with the second-year center holding his own throughout. The six blocks were a career-high for Sarr, who also recorded a complete stat line. For the season, he is providing top-50 per-game value in eight- and nine-cat formats, exceeding his Yahoo! ADP (83) by a comfortable margin. However, while the Wizards open a four-game Week 11 on Monday against the Suns, Sarr sat out the second game of the team’s most recent back-to-back. Consider him questionable.

The Wizards don’t have Kyshawn George for Sunday’s game, as he is out due to a sore left hip flexor. He’ll be replaced in the lineup by Johnson, who is making his first start since November 12 and the fifth of his rookie season. In his prior four starts, Johnson averaged 12.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.5 steals and 2.3 three-pointers. Due to the opportunity, Johnson is worth streaming in deep leagues.

He managed to turn things around down the home stretch, reaching the 20-point plateau for the fourth time in five games since returning from a brief three-game absence back on December 18. The 24-year-old all-around threat is averaging 19.7 points, 5.4 assists, 8.5 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.3 blocks over 21 games this season, delivering seventh-round value for fantasy purposes.

On the heels of an 18-rebound explosion earlier this week, Diabaté posted his second consecutive double-double, pulling down a game-high 13 boards. The 23-year-old center isn’t much of a scoring threat since his game is mostly limited to around the rim, but he’s making an impact for fantasy purposes as an elite rebounder, averaging 12 boards over his last four games. He’ll be a relevant fantasy option in deeper fantasy formats until rookie Ryan Kalkbrenner (elbow) is ready to return.

McCollum has scored at least 20 points in five of his last eight games. He has been one of the few Wizards to provide consistent fantasy value this season, which is unsurprising, given his career track record. McCollum’s role is secure for now, but his name is one to watch ahead of the February trade deadline. A move to another team may be what ensures the veteran guard of a consistent role through the fantasy playoffs, as that may not be guaranteed if he remains with the rebuilding Wizards.

Between injuries and production, this has been an underwhelming season for Coulibaly so far. That makes Friday’s performance that much more satisfying for the Wizards wing and those who continued to roster him. The 21 points were a season-high for Coulibaly, who also provided excellent value in rebounds and “stocks.” Rostered in 11 percent of Yahoo! leagues, his eight-cat fantasy value remains outside the top-150. However, he’s someone to watch ahead of the “silly season,” as there should not be any reason to shut down Coulibaly later in the year.

The Wizards put forth one of their best performances of the season on Friday, with George and five others scoring at least 12 points. The second-year wing continues to exceed the expectations of most fantasy managers, providing fifth-round value in eight-cat formats. And the timing of this performance was great for George, as he endured the worst game of his season in Tuesday’s loss to the Hornets. While the occasional “dud” can happen, George’s overall production has been highly encouraging.

Diabaté was perfect from the floor and recorded a double-double by the conclusion first half of this one, finishing with a season-high 18 rebounds in an impressive fantasy effort. The Hornets outscored the Wizards 64-44 in the second half to pull away for a relatively easy win after struggling to get things going in the early stages of the contest. The 23-year-old big man, who drew his second straight start in place of an injured Ryan Kalkbrenner (elbow) isn’t much of a scoring threat but he’s averaging 10.3 rebounds over his last four games.
