Bouyea’s absence does not affect fantasy basketball, especially since Grayson Allen has returned to action.

One reason to consider streaming O’Neale while the Suns are without Jalen Green is the three-point production, and he came through on Friday. The veteran forward hit four of his six attempts against the Knicks while also offering solid value in the rebound category. The lingering questions are: how much longer will Green, who began his ramp-up process, be sidelined by his hamstring injury? And, will the Suns continue to bring Grayson Allen (10/3/1/1 in 26 minutes) off the bench? The answers will have a direct impact on O’Neale’s fantasy value.

Brooks didn’t record any defensive statistics on Friday, but he had another good night on the offensive end of the floor. He’s scored at least 20 points in 18 games this season, six more than his tally with the Rockets in 2024-25. Brooks’ overall game isn’t exactly fantasy-friendly, but he’s hovering just outside the top-100 in eight-cat formats this season. The move to Phoenix has done wonders for the wing, who’s enjoying a level of offensive freedom that he didn’t have in either Memphis or Houston.

Friday’s performance was rather routine for Booker, who has scored at least 30 points in three of his last six outings. Add in the assists and three-pointers, and category-league managers should be relatively pleased with the output. That said, many hoped that Booker would be able to offer first-round fantasy value this season, and it hasn’t happened. The defensive production is limited, and the emergence of Dillon Brooks (scoring) and Collin Gillespie (assists) has also factored into Booker’s reduced fantasy value. That said, there’s no need to panic unless you reached early to draft him.

There were few positive takeaways for the rebuilding Wizards at the outset of the Trae Young era as they gave up 128 points on the defensive end of the floor and shot just 42.5 percent on the night. The 20-year-old big man has been extremely impactful for fantasy purposes this season, averaging 17.2 points, 7.5 assists, 3.0 assists, 0.8 steals and 2.3 blocks through 28 games. The Wizards close out the week with a road tilt against the Suns on Sunday evening.

George and Middleton are back after not being available for Wednesday’s loss to the 76ers. Their returns mean that Bub Carrington and Justin Champagnie will come off the bench, lowering the fantasy ceilings of both players.

George is back after missing Washington’s last seven games with a strained left hip flexor. With the Wizards having traded CJ McCollum to the Hawks on Wednesday, they may start George and Tre Johnson together on Friday. Johnson has been Kyshawn’s replacement in the starting lineup.

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.

Allen came off the bench for the second straight game. Prior to that, he had been starting up until a nine-game absence with a knee injury. He was held scoreless against Houston on Monday but was able to get his shot going in this one. Allen figures to return to the starting unit eventually, though if he does remain a reserve, he can still hold value as a three-point threat in standard leagues.

Playing against his former team, Brooks was able to be the leading scorer in this game despite only playing 25 minutes due to the lopsided score. Brooks has taken a major leap as a scorer, which has led to him holding more value in category leagues this season. Though he had a subpar shooting night, Brooks was still able to led Phoenix to a blowout win. He’ll look to stay hot against the Knicks on Friday.

With CJ McCollum (quad) sidelined for the first time this season, Carrington entered the starting unit for Washington. It seems likely that he’ll get at least one more start on Friday against the Pelicans since the Wizards traded for Trae Young and shipped out McCollum right after the game ended. Young had been dealing with a quad injury, so Carrington should start until he is available to make his debut for the Wizards, giving him limited streaming value.

Rumors had been heating up, and now it’s official. Young will head to Washington after appearing in just 10 games during his eighth season with the Hawks. Young will be reunited with Travis Schlenk, who drafted Trae in 2018 and is now an executive with the Wizards. The Wizards will have the rest of this season and, assuming he opts into his contract for next year, all of next season to decide if they want to keep Young around. It was a low-cost move for Washington, and they added a former All-NBA player that led the NBA in assists last season. If they’re able to add another top pick in the draft this season, the Wizards will have one of the best young cores in the NBA and a star point guard to help facilitate things on offense. Plus, Washington has enough length to make up for Young’s defensive limitations. Trae has been sidelined recently with a quad injury, but that could certainly heal up quickly now that he’s on a new team.

Between injuries and subpar performances, it was a rough start to the season for Coulibaly. However, this recent stretch has been a productive one. He wasn’t able to contribute any defensive stats, which has inflated his recent value, but he was able to have a solid night on offense. He’s known for his defense, but any consistency on offense will help him be even more valuable for fantasy managers, which makes his recent games encouraging.

After having his lowest-scoring game as a starter on Tuesday, Johnson responded with a strong outing on the second night of the back-to-back. This was the second 20-point game of his rookie season, with the other also coming during the seven games since he moved back into the starting lineup. Johnson has flashed plenty of upside as a rookie, mostly as a scorer and shooter, though his production in standard fantasy leagues has been limited this season.

Khris Middleton sitting out the second game of a back-to-back is unsurprising, but CJ McCollum’s inclusion on the injury report may have raised some eyebrows, given recent trade rumors. Carrington and Champagnie move into the starting lineup, and both are worth streaming in deep leagues due to Washington’s lack of depth.

Washington is on the second leg of a back-to-back set after beating the Magic on Tuesday. George is still without a timeline for return, and the Wizards will unsurprisingly give their two veterans a maintenance day. With the trio sidelined, more minutes should be available for Tre Johnson, Bub Carrington, Corey Kispert and Justin Champagnie.

Coulibaly was one of six Wizards in double figures on Tuesday, but the steals category is where he set himself apart. The five steals were a career-high for the third-year wing, who recorded four in a January 2 win over the Nets. Rostered in 26 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Coulibaly has been close to a top-50 player in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. While those who have him rostered may consider selling high, managers in leagues where Coulibaly is available should think about picking him up.

While not as prolific as twin brother Julian was on New Year’s Eve against the Knicks, Champagnie gave the Wizards welcome scoring off the bench on Tuesday. His four three-pointers were a season-high, and the Wizards’ wing also offered solid production in the assist and steal categories. Champagnie’s fantasy ceiling hinges on the availability of other wings, most notably Kyshawn George and Corey Kispert. Both were out on Tuesday, resulting in more opportunities for Champagnie.

Despite an excellent first half, McCollum said during his walk-off interview at halftime that he “left some money on the table.” The veteran guard made up for that in the fourth quarter, shooting 4-of-6 from the field to help Washington close out its tenth win of the season. McCollum’s name has come up in connection with Trae Young trade rumors recently, making him a player to watch well ahead of the February trade deadline. The good news for those who have McCollum rostered is that he can still offer solid fantasy value.

Sarr and the Wizards entered Tuesday hoping to bounce back from Sunday’s blowout loss to the Timberwolves, and they got the job done. The second-year center, who has been a much-improved player this season, recorded a complete stat line on excellent percentages. Also, Sarr has now blocked at least four shots in six games this season. Not only does he have the look of a crucial building block for the Wizards, but he is also a player capable of developing into one of the most valuable centers in fantasy basketball.

Williams played back-to-back games for just the second time this season. The 24-year-old center played only 21 minutes in both games and had a total of 12 points. Williams is capable of providing fantasy value in fewer minutes than other players, but it looks like he still needs to show he’s able to play closer to 30 minutes in a game to hit his ceiling.

After Booker hit a game-winning three-pointer to take out the Thunder on Sunday, the Suns were on the wrong end of a game-winning three-pointer Monday. Booker’s former teammate handed his old team a loss with a game-winning three-pointer. He’s provided sixth-round per game value this season. The Suns will take on the Grizzlies on the road Wednesday.

Williams was originally listed as questionable for right knee injury management reasons, but he’s ultimately available for Monday’s game against the Rockets. It’s the second time this season that Williams is available on the second night of a back-to-back. The 24-year-old center had eight points in 21 minutes against the Thunder Sunday and we don’t expect him to play significantly more minutes Monday.

Kispert will sit out after making his return to the lineup on Sunday, which was his first after a five-game absence. This is the first of a back-to-back, so he will likely be available against the 76ers on Wednesday. Justin Champagnie should see a boost in minutes with Kispert unavailable.

Allen has missed nine straight games, but he’s poised to return to action on Monday. If he reclaims his starting role, Royce O’Neale would move back to the bench. Collin Gillespie has been a solid contributor with Allen out, and Gillespie’s fantasy appeal will take a hit if Allen is cleared.

Booker sealed the win with a high-difficulty step-back three over elite defender Alex Caruso in the final seconds, punctuating a strong second half in which he poured in 18 points on 4-of-7 shooting while getting to the line nine times. The 29-year-old scoring machine has been a one-dimensional fantasy contributor this season, topping 24 points in seven of 10 games since returning from injury back on December 14. The Suns will have a quick turnaround as they travel to face the Rockets on Monday night before closing out a four-game week with matchups against the Grizzlies, Knicks and Wizards.

Goodwin put together one of the best shooting performances of his career in this one, setting new career-high marks for points (26) and three-pointers (eight) as he knocked down a surreal 8-of-13 from beyond the arc. It was the third 20-point performance of his career. His combination of scoring upside and strong rebounding give him some appeal in deeper fantasy leagues but he’ll need to stay hot from distance to be a reliable option.

Sunday’s game was Kispert’s first since December 23, when he exited a loss to the Hornets with a hamstring injury. The former first-round pick had a solid night shooting-wise, making 50 percent of his attempts from the field and knocking down two three-pointers. However, Kispert is not worth the risk in most leagues, even with Kyshawn George (hip) essentially week-to-week. Players like Tre Johnson (13/3/3/1 with one three-pointer) will be a priority for the Wizards, and there will likely come a point when Will Riley (6/3/0/1) figures more prominently in the rotation as well.

McCollum led the way offensively for the Wizards on Sunday, recording his second 20-point game in his last eight appearances. Unfortunately, his ceiling is capped by being on a team whose priority is to give its young players more minutes for development. McCollum has been productive enough to merit being rostered in 12-team leagues, but managers are certainly rooting for him to be moved ahead of the February trade deadline. If not, he could be a shutdown risk. The Wizards begin a four-game Week 12 on Tuesday against the Magic.

Due to his right hamstring, which was initially injured during the preseason and then aggravated in his second appearance, Green has only appeared in two games this season. According to Ott, he is progressing in his recovery. “Some of that, you can measure. Is he 100% strength? He’s there,” Ott said. “So now, this is the ramp up time period onto the court is where he’s at. That’s currently where he’s at. So he’s fully healthy, strong. His sprint speed is good and now we’re going to give him a couple of weeks to play.” Collin Gillespie has filled in admirably in the starting lineup, and he’s worth holding onto until Green is cleared and playing without restrictions.
