Suns coach Jordan Ott said that he wanted to give Green an extra day of rest since he knew he wouldn’t play both legs of the back-to-back. Green will likely have his minutes limited, which means he could come off the bench in his first game back. However, he will suit up, which means Collin Gillespie is likely getting closer to heading back to the bench, while Grayson Allen and Jordan Goodwin will lose out on some minutes.

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.

Green played some 5-on-5 on Saturday, the third time he’s done so since being cleared to begin the ramp-up process. If he plays on Monday, it’s likely safe to assume that Green will not play on Tuesday against the 76ers. His presence in the rotation will affect Collin Gillespie, who has filled in admirably as part of the starting lineup.

Monday’s game is the first of two in as many nights for the Suns, who visit the 76ers on Tuesday. Given the gulf in competition, fantasy managers should prepare for the possibility that Booker sits out Monday’s game.

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.

After a subpar performance in Thursday’s loss to the Pistons, Williams redeemed himself with a solid effort against the Knicks. He finished one rebound shy of a double-double and has scored in double figures in five of his last six outings. Williams has been a top-100 player over the past two weeks, which is what he’s done all season long.

While he did not record a blocked shot, Goodwin’s final stat line was a reminder of what he can provide on a nightly basis. He made the most of his scoring opportunities and was solid as a facilitator and defender. Over the past two weeks, Goodwin has offered 12th-round per-game value in eight-cat formats. He isn’t a must-roster player, but Goodwin can have value in deep leagues.

After putting up 20 three-pointers in Thursday’s loss to the Pistons, Allen chucked up 13 more on Saturday. While the percentage wasn’t the best, getting four three-pointers out of the Suns’ guard is a solid deal for fantasy managers. Allen did wind up with a bloody nose due to his collision with OG Anunoby, but he was still part of the closing lineup. The Suns play four games in Week 14, starting with the Nets on Monday.

Booker didn’t have a great night shooting the basketball, but his ability to get to the foul line boosted the final points tally. He’s been in a bit of a slump recently, shooting 40 percent from the field over the past two weeks. During that period, Booker has been a top-75 player in eight-cat formats. The Suns open a four-game Week 14 with a back-to-back on Monday and Tuesday against the Nets and 76ers.

Green has not appeared in a game since November 9, but that could change very soon. Saturday’s 5-on-5 session was the guard’s third since beginning the ramp-up process two weeks ago. Given the time that Green has missed, his playing time will likely be limited in his first few games back.

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.

Coulibaly played the first ten minutes of Wednesday’s loss to the Clippers before leaving with lower back tightness. Already ruled out for Friday’s game against the Kings, he has traveled back to Washington to begin treatment. With Coulibaly out for the final game of the road trip, rookie Will Riley should see extended minutes in both games of the back-to-back. While not a must-stream player, Riley is worth watching with an eye toward the “silly season.”

With Devin Booker (ankle) out, the Suns needed Brooks to avoid getting into early foul trouble. He failed to do so, and that would factor into him fouling out with 2:13 remaining in the fourth quarter. Before his disqualification, the Suns’ wing struggled to get much going offensively, and his production was lacking beyond points and three-pointers. Brooks will look to bounce back on Saturday against the Knicks.

The Suns don’t look to Goodwin for much scoring, but his defensive abilities make him a player who has to be in the rotation. The 12 rebounds were three shy of his season-high, and Goodwin matched his high in steals. He still isn’t a player who should be rostered in most leagues, but Goodwin is averaging 24.0 minutes per game over the past month.

Gillespie had an excellent night in Detroit, recording his second double-double of the season. The 18 points were the most he’s scored in a game since December 29, when he scored 25 in a win over the Wizards. Devin Booker (ankle) was out on Thursday, which freed up a few more scoring opportunities for Gillespie. Between Booker and Jalen Green (hamstring), there may come a point when fantasy managers look to move on from Gillespie. But as long as they’re out, he’s worth holding onto.

With no Devin Booker (ankle) in the fold, there were shots to go around for everyone within the Suns’ rotation. Allen may have taken that to heart, as he fired up 25 shots overall, with 20 coming from beyond the arc. He surpassed the 30-point mark for the second time this season and for the first time since dropping 42 in a November 10 win over the Pelicans. If Booker remains out for Saturday’s game against the Knicks, Allen will have added fantasy value.

Bagley saw extended minutes on Wednesday after Alex Sarr was ejected in the second quarter against the Clippers. Bagley took advantage, using efficient shooting to record his best scoring game of January and attacking the glass hard for his first double-double since December 14.

But in his reserve role, he’s unlikely to sustain enough consistent production to become a reliable option in fantasy leagues.

Middleton logged one of his more productive games of the season on Wednesday, utilizing the three-point shot to pave the way for his success on offense. The veteran forward also led all Wizards starters in assists in his 27 minutes of game action.

Robbins claims that “the plan is for [Young] to rehab his ankle in-house” and take his time returning to the court. The Wizards then anticipate Young picking up his $49 million player option for 2026, at which time they will see how well he fits alongside young players like Alex Sarr and Kyshawn George. Slow-playing Young this season makes sense, considering the Wizards’ first-round pick is top-eight-protected. That means that, if the Wizards lose enough games to pick inside the top eight in the 2026 NBA Draft, they will keep their pick, but if they pick outside of the top eight, the New York Knicks will control the rights to the Wizards’ pick.
