Middleton is back after sitting out Saturday’s loss to the Knicks. However, his return does not mean Carrington will head to the bench. Instead, Justin Champagnie will be used in a reserve role, which lowers his fantasy ceiling. However, he will remain in the rotation and play quality minutes.

Avdija has recorded three double-doubles in his last six games, providing excellent fantasy value over the past two weeks. During this stretch, the Blazers forward has provided first-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats. And with Portland still in the race for the final play-in spot in the West, there’s no reason for the team to consider shutting Avdija down. Portland plays three games during Week 21, starting with the Cavaliers on Tuesday.

Rostered in 47 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Camara may be undervalued, especially with the Trail Blazers continuing to play without Jerami Grant. Over the past two weeks, the second-year wing has provided seventh-round value in eight-cat formats. Camara’s offensive output has improved, and his defensive value has always been present. His run since the All-Star break has made Camara more valuable in the short term, and it should also positively impact his ADP in the fall.

Sharpe has scored 20 points or more in consecutive games for the first time since March 3-5. Jerami Grant’s continued absence with a knee injury has opened up a space in the starting lineup and additional scoring opportunities for Sharpe, and he’s taken advantage. Over the past month, he has provided ninth-round value in eight-cat formats, sitting just outside the top 100. While Sharpe may not be an excellent option for category leagues, the opportunity has made him worth the risk, regardless of format.

Simons has been upgraded from questionable to available for Sunday’s game. His return pushes Scoot Henderson to the bench, but the second-year guard won’t lack playing time despite being used in a reserve role. Those who have Scoot rostered should hold onto him.

Clingan and Walker were questionable for Sunday’s game. The former has been a fixture in the Trail Blazers starting lineup, and that will not change against the reigning champs. As for Walker, this will be his first opportunity to play since March 12 due to the league’s concussion protocol. While there will be rotation minutes available to Walker, he’s unlikely to impact fantasy basketball significantly.

Smart got going after halftime, shooting 5-of-10 from the field to help the Wizards trim a 33-point deficit down to four before losing. While availability issues make the veteran guard difficult to rely on in fantasy basketball, he can provide value when playing rotation minutes. Smart logged 24 minutes on Saturday, which has been his unofficial cap since joining the Wizards. While Washington plays four games during Week 21, there’s also a back-to-back, likely limiting Smart to three appearances.

After a three-game slump in which he scored 29 points on 11-of-30 shooting, Poole got back on track in this one. He was one of the primary catalysts for the Wizards after halftime, shooting 5-of-10 from the field in the second half as Washington cut a 33-point deficit down to four. The Wizards did not have enough to complete the rally, but Poole’s play throughout the season has been encouraging. Washington plays four games during Week 21, starting with the Raptors on Monday.

George’s double-double was his first, and the Wizards rookie has been a much-improved player as the season has progressed. And fantasy managers have benefitted from the strides made, as George has provided sixth-round value in eight-cat formats over the past month. Given the recent production and Washington’s upcoming schedule, his rostership (27 percent of Yahoo! leagues) is a bit low. The Wizards play four games during weeks 21 and 22, an excellent schedule for managers looking to win their leagues.

Walker has been out since suffering a concussion during a March 12 loss to the Knicks. His absence has freed up rotation minutes for Duop Reath, who has not done enough to merit being rostered. However, with Donovan Clingan (illness) also questionable for Sunday’s game, Reath may have added value on Sunday.

Clingan and Simons did not play in Friday’s win over the Nuggets, so the Trail Blazers used a smaller lineup to compensate for the former’s absence. Kris Murray and Scoot Henderson started against Denver and will likely retain their roles if Clingan and Simons remain out.

Saturday’s game is the second in as many nights for the Wizards, who lost to the Magic on Friday. Khris Middleton is unavailable for the matchup with the Knicks, opening up a spot in the starting lineup for Carrington. Not only is the rookie worth streaming, but he’s also worth holding onto in deep leagues for the rest of the season. Playing time should not be an issue for Bub as the Wizards look to develop their youngsters further.

Banton hadn’t scored in double figures in eight games in March entering play Friday. With Anfernee Simons (illness) out, the 25-year-old point guard figured to see more minutes off the bench. Banton ended up playing 29 minutes, more than Scoot Henderson, who moved into the starting lineup. Banton put up 19 points and impacted the game on the defensive end with three steals and three blocks. Unfortunately it’s unlikely he sees enough minutes going forward to gain fantasy-relevance.

Sharpe continued to start with Jerami Grant (knee) out. The 21-year-old shooting guard has had better games, but with Anfernee Simons (illness) also out, he was counted on to take a lot of shots Friday. Sharpe managed to get to 23 points on volume as he hoisted 22 shots against the Nuggets. He’ll continue to have fantasy value as long as Grant’s injury continues to linger.

Avdija dropped at least 30 points for the fourth time so far in March. It was also his second straight game with at least 30 points. The 24-year-old small forward has been on an incredible run as he’s managed to put up some big rebounding numbers and solid assist numbers along with his scoring. Avdija is averaging 22 points per game, 10 rebounds per game and five assists per game in March. With Jerami Grant still struggling to get on the court, Avdija has to be rostered in all formats going forward.

Though he wasn’t able to extend his streak of 20-point games to four straight contests, Sarr was able to record his third double-double of the month and the ninth of his young career. Rebounds haven’t been a strong category for Sarr as a rookie, which isn’t surprising for a floor spacing big. However, he has averaged 8.3 rebounds in 27.1 minutes per game over the last two weeks. It isn’t out of the question for Sarr to eventually average 10 rebounds per game, especially if he continues to play center.

Vukcevic was pushed to the bench despite playing well as a starter on Wednesday. However, that didn’t stop him from scoring at least 15 points for a fourth-straight appearance. Vukcevic has been in and out of the lineup recently since he is still on a two-way contract. However, he has been available for Washington’s last three games and had been fantastic in nine-cat leagues with averages of 17 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.3 steals, 1.7 blocks and 2.7 three-pointers per game.

Two days after Johnson had his highest-scoring game as a Wizard, he was able to top that number and set a new career-high for scoring. Johnson was pushed back to the bench after two games as a starter, but he was still able to play 23 minutes. The 20-year-old rookie should continue to play a significant role for Washington down the stretch as they continue to prioritize the development of their younger players. They’ll play the second night of a back-to-back in New York on Saturday, so if the veterans sit out, Johnson could return to the starting lineup.

Bey tore his ACL over a year ago and hasn’t played an NBA game since March 10, 2024. The G League assignment means he’s likely nearing a return, but it’s unclear if he’ll see any game action with the parent club this season. If Bey sees the court before the end of the 2024-25 campaign, he will surely be on a minutes restriction and not worth a look in fantasy basketball leagues.
