Smart will sit out the first leg of Washington’s back-to-back due to a finger injury that has forced him to miss time this season. AJ Johnson and Bub Carrington should both take on extra minutes with Smart sidelined.

Both Tristan Vukcevic and Bub Carrington started in place of Middleton and Kyshawn George (knee) on Wednesday, but they will likely return to the bench with both Middleton and George not on the injury report. However, Washington is focused on lottery odds, so it’s unclear if Middleton will play a significant role.

George will be back after missing Wednesday’s game against Utah. Tristan Vukcevic moved into the starting lineup with George sidelined, while JT Thor, Colby Jones and Jaylen Martin all played significant roles off the bench. George’s return should push Vukcevic back to the bench, and Washington really balanced out the rotation against Utah to help improve their lottery odds. They shouldn’t have to do that against Orlando.

Jones played 25 minutes in his second game with the Wizards on Monday and had just two points against the Trail Blazers. The 22-year-old shooting guard was much better this time around. He dropped 24 points on 11 shots and made all four of his 3-point attempts. While Jones benefitted from Kyshawn George being out with a knee injury, it’s possible he’s earned himself more minutes with this performance. He could have value in deeper formats if that’s the case.

Sarr has now scored at least 20 points in three straight games and now has seven games with 20 points in his rookie season. The 19-year-old center is starting to come into his own down the stretch of a lost season for the Wizards. Sarr has been a 10th-round player in eight-category leagues since the All-Star break. The future looks bright for Washington’s No. 2 overall pick from last year.

Beasley isn’t much of a fantasy factor. He has a bench role and typically plays 25-30 minutes for the Pistons. He had 16 points against the Heat Wednesday while making five 3-pointers, which is his primary fantasy utility. Beasley fits in the right builds for fantasy managers that need threes.

Duren picked up his second foul just four minutes into the first quarter. It appeared that it could be a long night for the 21-year-old center, but he managed to still play 28 minutes and was effective while he was out there. Duren recorded another double-double. He’s been a top-30 fantasy player over the last two months.

With the clock winding down in a tie game Wednesday, Cunningham banked in a three-pointer over Bam Adebayo with less than one second remaining. The 23-year-old point guard’s buzzer beater sealed a back and forth game that included 18 lead changes and 10 ties. Cunningham also had his ninth triple-double of the season as he continues to be a superstar in both fantasy and real life.

Poole has been an offensive focal point for the Wizards this season, and that won’t change on Wednesday. His availability is good news for fantasy managers, as Poole has rebounded from a rough 2023-24 campaign.

George will miss Wednesday’s game with a right knee contusion, which opens up a spot in the Wizards’ starting lineup. Justin Champagnie is a potential replacement in the starting lineup, while Colby Jones should play additional rotation minutes off the bench again. Champagnie is worth adding in deep leagues.

The Wizards have upgraded Poole’s and Smart’s statuses for Wednesday’s game. While the former was initially doubtful, the latter was ruled out on the team’s first injury report. Poole’s availability has a more significant impact on fantasy basketball, as he has been a productive member of the starting lineup. While Smart would play rotation minutes off the bench, he is not a must-roster player.

George is dealing with a right knee contusion, casting some doubt on his status for Wednesday’s game. With Corey Kispert (thumb) done for the season, Colby Jones and Jaylen Martin played additional rotation minutes in Monday’s loss to the Trail Blazers. That will remain the case on Wednesday, regardless of George’s status. If Kyshawn sits, one of those two could move into the starting lineup.

With just a few weeks left in the 2024-25 campaign, the last-place Wizards will be without another key option. In Kispert’s place, Kyshawn George and Justin Champagnie should continue to see increased playing time with AJ Johnson picking up a few extra minutes, too.

Things are starting to click for Sarr. After scoring a career-high 34 points on Saturday, he had the sixth 20-point game of his career on Monday. Four of those have come in his last 10 appearances. The No. 2 overall pick may not be in conversations for Rookie of the Year, but he is reminding the world of why he was such a coveted prospect last summer. He won’t turn 20 until after the season, but he is already showcasing elite talent in multiple areas of his game. Washington still has three more games this week for him to keep it up.

Vukcevic hasn’t been a consistent part of Washington’s rotation, but after not seeing the floor for three games, he was able to pick up where he left off in his previous appearance. Vukcevic has scored in double figures in each of his last two games and has at least seven rebounds, one steal, one block and two triples in three straight games. Vukcevic should see more minutes down the stretch of this season and have a chance to be a “silly season” star once again.

For the first time in his career, the rookie was part of the starting lineup. He didn’t turn in a monster stat line, but Johnson was productive during his 35 minutes on the court, even if he was inefficient. Johnson just turned 20 years old in December, and Washington will make sure to get him plenty of development reps down the stretch of the season. This was an important milestone for him, and it wouldn’t be surprising if it wasn’t the last start of the season for him.

In comparison to some other rookies in this class, Holland has flown under the radar at times during his first season in the league. Detroit has been too competitive for him to play a significant role, but he has been productive when given the opportunity. This wasn’t a monster performance by any means, but it was an encouraging one for dynasty managers. Holland won’t turn 20 years old until July, so any glimpses of upside at this point are great to see.

The lopsided score in favor of Detroit helped Fontecchio set a new season-high for scoring in this game. He did an excellent job during cleanup time and scored 18 of his 23 points in the second half. Fontecchio also made all five of his attempts from deep. It was a fantastic night for him, but this isn’t something that managers should get used to. He has averaged 6.3 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.1 triples per game this season, which has him ranked outside the top-300 in nine-cat leagues.

While the rest of the starters’ production was capped by the lopsided score, Cunningham was still able to turn in a strong line in the massive win. It certainly could have been a bigger night if New Orleans was able to keep this game somewhere close. Blowouts have limited Cunningham at times over the past month, but he was still able to be on the floor long enough to make up for Saturday’s 11-point performance that ended early following an ejection. He’ll look to keep this going in Miami on Wednesday.

Kispert sprained his left thumb during Saturday’s loss to the Nuggets. Already ruled out for Monday’s game in Portland, he has been sent back to the nation’s capital to have his thumb examined by team doctors. Kispert’s early return means AJ Johnson could remain in the rotation. However, fantasy managers are better served to target Kyshawn George and Justin Champagnie, who remain available in more than 70 percent of Yahoo! leagues.

Kispert injured his left thumb during Saturday’s win over the Nuggets and will not play in Portland on Monday.

Smart was a late scratch for Saturday’s win over the Nuggets. His absence freed up rotation minutes for AJ Johnson, who finished with nine points, two rebounds, four assists, two steals, and one three-pointer in 18 minutes.

After a four-game run in which he averaged 9.8 points per game on 41.9 percent shooting, George was considerably better on Saturday. He’s scored 19 points or more twice since the All-Star break, but offense isn’t where the rookie has been most valuable this season. The rebounding and defensive stats are why George is rostered in 27 percent of Yahoo leagues despite a poor field goal percentage. Since the All-Star break, he has been a top-40 player for managers willing to punt that particular category.

Sarr was outstanding in Denver, as he recorded a season-high point total and an overall line that many fantasy managers will be pleased with. Since the All-Star break, the rookie center/forward has been a 10th-round player in eight-cat formats. And that’s with Sarr shooting 39.1 percent from the field and 65.6 percent from the foul line. For fantasy managers punting field goal percentage, the rookie has been a seventh-round player since the break.

Poole’s final stat line wasn’t overwhelming, as he did not provide much value outside of the field goal percentage, points, assists and three-pointers. But he hit one of the most stunning game-winners of the season, making a 35-footer with 1.8 seconds remaining to complete the Wizards’ season sweep of the Nuggets. Since the All-Star break, Poole has provided fifth-round value in eight-cat formats, only one round worse than what he’s done for the season. The Wizards will play four games during Week 20, which is good news for those who have Poole rostered.

During Saturday’s game, Kispert sprained the thumb on his left (non-shooting) hand and was ruled out for the rest of the night. He played 15 minutes and finished with four points, two rebounds, and one assist. If Kispert misses time, his absence may be offset by Khris Middleton, who played 20 minutes on Saturday. There may also be minutes available for AJ Johnson, especially with the Wizards prioritizing the development of their young players.

With Cade Cunningham getting ejected from Saturday’s game late in the third quarter, Schroder played 10-plus minutes during the fourth. The veteran point guard finished with his first double-double as a Piston, and Schroder scored double figures in six straight. With his fantasy value entirely dependent upon Cunningham’s availability, there isn’t much to gain from rostering Schroder on most nights.

While he doesn’t offer an exceptionally high fantasy ceiling, Harris does provide a reliable floor. He had a solid night scoring-wise, and the rebounding production was also good. However, the lack of assists and defensive stats is why Harris is viewed as a player with limited upside in fantasy basketball. Since the All-Star break, he has been a top 75 player in eight-cat formats while sitting just outside the top 50 in nine-cat. The Pistons begin a four-game Week 20 in New Orleans on Monday.

Champagnie got another start in place of Bilal Coulibaly, who is now expected to be sidelined until mid-April at the earliest with a hamstring strain. Washington may not be set on Champagnie as a starter, but as of now, he seems like the Coulibaly replacement. He wasn’t great as a starter on Tuesday (5/8/1/1/1), but he can be productive in an increased role, which makes him worth considering as an option during “silly season” as long as he is starting. Washington will wrap up the week in Denver on Saturday.

Duren extended his double-double streak to four games on Thursday, though it wasn’t enough to get a win. Duren has been fantastic in a few categories but hasn’t been a factor in the rest for most of the season. While that is fine for managers in category leagues, it limits his upside in points leagues. Still, he has had an excellent season, especially over the past two months, where he ranks just outside the top-25 in nine-cat formats.

What a monster night it was for Cunningham. This was his sixth-straight game with at least 25 points, and he added another double-double, along with plenty of defensive production. Cunningham isn’t known for having a generous whistle, but he lived at the foul line on Thursday. He shattered his previous career-highs of 13 free throws made and 13 free throws attempted in a game. It isn’t something managers should get used to since he only averages 5.4 attempts per game. However, it was nice to see him have success there in this game.

Though he only played 25 minutes because of the lopsided score, Duren was able to record his third-straight double-double on Tuesday. He continues to be a double-double machine with an excellent field goal percentage, and the blocks have been hit-or-miss. Prior to having two swats in this game, he went three straight games without one. Before that stretch, he had 10 in two games. Still, Duren ranks inside the top-50 in nine-cat value over the past two weeks and will look to keep that up over Detroit’s final two games of the week.

Cunningham’s breakout season just keeps getting better. He has scored at least 25 points in five consecutive games and has two double-doubles during that stretch. Turnovers have generally been a massive issue for him, but he only had three in this game. He had at least five in each of Detroit’s last five games prior to this, which makes his three on Tuesday look even better. Detroit only has two more games this week, which includes a rematch with the Wizards on Thursday.

Duren has recorded a double-double in four of his last five games, providing fantasy managers with consistent production. Since the break, the Pistons center has been a top 40 player in eight- and nine-cat formats, exceeding his season-long production on both. While Duren’s averages still aren’t as good as his 2023-24 numbers, he’s bounced back from a slow start, and the improved roster has also been a reason why his averages have taken a hit.

While games of 20 points or more have not been the norm for Harris this season, he has been consistently productive. Sunday’s game was his 11th with at least 20, and he’s providing top 75 value in eight-cat formats since the All-Star break. As was the case for most of his time in Philadelphia, Harris isn’t a “sexy” player to have rostered in fantasy leagues. However, fantasy managers have a good idea of what they’re getting from him nightly.

While he shot the ball well on Sunday, turnovers were an issue for Cunningham. One night removed from committing nine turnovers in a loss to the Warriors, he was responsible for eight against the Trail Blazers. High-turnover nights have been rare for Cunningham, which has been one of the areas of significant improvement for him this season. A top-10 player in eight-cat formats since the All-Star break, Cade is ranked just outside the top 25 in nine-cat. His overall production has been good enough to avoid taking too big of a hit due to turnovers, which has been great for fantasy managers. The Pistons head home for three games during Week 19, starting with the Wizards on Tuesday.

Harris’ rebound total was his second highest as he posted his fifth double-double of the campaign and first since January 4. It was a nice night for points and boards, but Harris shot a pedestrian 4-of-11 from the field and 0-of-2 from beyond the arc while failing to record a defensive stat. The Pistons face the Trail Blazers on Sunday for the second leg of a back-to-back set.
