With Trae Young (quad), Bilal Coulibaly (heel) and Julian Reese (inactive), Carrington, Champagnie and Gill will enter the starting lineup. Gill played a large role off the bench on Monday, but Carrington was ejected in the third quarter, and Champagnie didn’t see the floor at all. However, all three will receive an upside boost as starters, though the matchup isn’t favorable.

With Bam Adebayo (calf) sidelined for this game, Powell will return to the starting unit. Powell scored 20 points in 31 minutes off the bench on Saturday and should play a similar role in this game. Ware will shift over to be the primary center.

Adebayo avoided the Heat’s original injury report, but was added Monday night as questionable with right calf tightness and downgraded to doubtful Tuesday afternoon. The 28-year-old’s absence isn’t a surprise at this point. Kel’el Ware should move into the starting lineup and stands to benefit from the most additional usage with Adebayo sidelined.

Coulibaly posted a 21/8/4/1 line in Monday’s loss to Golden State, but he’ll sit out the second leg of the Wizards’ back-to-back home set while dealing with a heel injury. Coulibaly’s absence should mean more run for Will Riley, especially with Leaky Black (ankle) also out of action.

Coulibaly finished Monday’s defeat with his fourth 20-point game of the season, and he was highly efficient in doing so. Shooting 45.2 percent from the field, the Wizards’ wing has provided 10th-round value in eight-cat formats since the All-Star break. That may not be elite value, but it may get Coulibaly on the radar of more deep-league managers, especially if he can continue to play starters’ minutes more often than not.

The good news for fantasy managers was that Johnson reached double figures after totaling 10 points in his prior two appearances. The bad is that he only played 23 minutes, and the rookie has not exceeded 25 since returning from a sprained left ankle that sidelined him for six games in early February. Johnson is rostered in only eight percent of Yahoo! leagues, and with good reason, given his playing time.

Riley’s playing time and production in Monday’s defeat were encouraging. The rookie recorded his fourth 20-point stat line of the season, and he played a team-high 37 minutes. Riley has played at least 29 minutes in six of the Wizards’ eight games in March. While fantasy managers certainly hope that continues, Wizards head coach Brian Keefe’s handling of the rotation has been unpredictable at times.

Young suffered a right quad contusion early in the third quarter of Monday’s game and departed for the Wizards’ locker room shortly thereafter. He played 21 minutes, finishing with 21 points, two rebounds, five assists, one steal, one block and three three-pointers. With Bub Carrington getting ejected later in the third, the Wizards will turn to Sharife Cooper to run the show the rest of the way.

Carrington, who was due to play most of the second half with Trae Young having exited due to a quad contusion, was ejected with just over five minutes remaining in the third quarter. Whether he was talking to the Warriors bench or official Scott Foster after dropping Golden State’s Pat Spencer with a crossover was unclear, but Bub said enough to get thrown out. He finished with four points and one assist in 12 minutes.

Wiggins will miss a sixth consecutive game, with Kel’el Ware having started the last two. Starting alongside Bam Adebayo raises the second-year center’s ceiling, and he’s already rostered in most 12-team leagues. Managers in 10-team leagues should consider adding Ware if he’s on the waiver wire.

On a night when Tyler Herro (10/6/5 with one block and two three-pointers) struggled in his first game back from an injury, Jaquez did his best to compensate. He scored seven points in the fourth quarter, but the Heat’s late rally fell four points short. While Jaquez’s fantasy value has not been good enough to make him a must-roster player in all leagues, he’s worth holding onto in 12-team category leagues.

Powell returned to action after missing seven games with a groin injury, and he was used in a reserve role. However, he played 31 minutes and put up a respectable stat line.

Ware made a second consecutive start on Saturday, as the Heat remained without Andrew Wiggins (toe). The second-year center reached double digits in rebounds for the second straight game, and the double-double was his 22nd of the season. Add in the defensive stats, and this was a good night for managers who have Ware on their fantasy rosters. However, with Norman Powell (groin) returning on Saturday, Ware could head back to the bench as soon as Tuesday’s game against the Hornets.

Bam was bound to cool off after dropping 83 points on Tuesday, but putting up 20-plus in consecutive games is nothing to scoff at. The Heat center has scored at least 20 points in nine straight games, and he’s been a third-round player in eight-cat formats since the All-Star break. The Heat play three games in Week 21, starting with the Hornets on Tuesday.

Vukčević’s 22 points were a season-high, and he shot 6-of-7 from beyond the arc. The six three-pointers were a career-high for the Wizards’ backup center, who played 20 minutes to starter Alex Sarr’s 22. Sarr finished with four points (1-of-9 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), five rebounds, two steals, one block and one three-pointer. Moving forward, Vukčević will be most valuable on nights when Sarr doesn’t play, and there may be a few streaming opportunities in Week 21, given that Washington plays five games.

Young departed for the Wizards’ locker room late in the third quarter of Saturday’s game and did not return. Whether that was due to injury or simply the play for the point guard is unknown. However, Young’s playing time has been restricted since making his Wizards’ debut, and there’s no reason for the team to change that since they’ve been eliminated from postseason contention. Washington plays five games in Week 21, but Young will likely be available for three at the very most. Bub Carrington (two points, three rebounds, eight assists and one block in 22 minutes) will have added value on the nights that Young sits.

Jakučionis started a second straight game with Tyler Herro (quad) sidelined, and this outing was far more productive than the first. He set a new career high for rebounds and had one of his most effective scoring nights of the season. Jakučionis clearly has plenty of talent and is only 19 years old, making him a valuable asset in dynasty leagues. However, his lack of consistent minutes makes him a difficult player to roster in standard leagues.

The second-year guard has been a starter for most of the season for Miami, but he hasn’t been a consistent fantasy contributor. However, he was productive in this game and ended up setting a new career high for scoring while still contributing in other categories. The former second-round pick should continue to play big minutes, but he won’t offer enough in the box score to be worth rostering in most formats.

Well, it wasn’t exactly an encore. Two days after finishing with 83 points, the second-most in a game in NBA history, Adebayo struggled from the floor and finished with a quarter of his total points from the win over the Wizards. Though he was able to get to the free throw line at a decent rate, he wasn’t able to replicate his 43 attempts from Tuesday’s game. He was still able to extend his streak of 20 point games to eight in a row.

Like Trae Young, Sarr’s playing time has been limited, with the second-year center logging 23 minutes on Thursday. However, that’s all the time he needed to record two steals and five blocked shots, excellent production for category league managers. The Wizards play once more in Week 20, and they begin Week 21 with a back-to-back, which is a concern for Sarr managers.

Young played 21 minutes on Thursday, finishing with solid numbers in points and assists. While the minutes limit does the point guard no favors in terms of fantasy value, getting some production from Young is better than not having him on the floor at all.

One game removed from being on the wrong end of a historic performance by Miami’s Bam Adebayo, the Wizards bounced back with a solid effort in Orlando. Coulibaly, whose banked-in three-pointer with five seconds remaining in regulation sent the game into overtime, led the way. His 29 points were a career-high, with the Wizards’ wing recording a complete stat line. Scoring hasn’t been Coulibaly’s best attribute, so fantasy managers should not expect Thursday’s effort to become the norm. However, there should be more room for him to put up numbers as the Wizards close out their season.

He was efficient against the Heat, shooting over 50 percent from the field. Unfortunately, the overall stat line was a bit lean on Tuesday.

Riley led the Wizards in minutes on Tuesday, and he’s scored at least 19 points in four of his last six appearances. Interestingly, the rookie was used in a reserve role in the two games before that, with Leaky Black as the starter.

The Wizards are still limiting Sarr’s playing time, but he made the most of his 20 minutes on Tuesday. The 28 points are the most in a game for the second-year center since putting up 29 in a January 27 win over the Trail Blazers, and three shy of his season-high. However, as encouraging as this performance was, Sarr’s playing time is a concern for fantasy managers the rest of the season. And with the front office wanting to strengthen its draft lottery odds, there isn’t much incentive to play Sarr heavy minutes.
