Poeltl played limited minutes on Sunday, and he’ll unsurprisingly sit out the second leg of Toronto’s back-to-back set. Barrett will miss his second game in as many days. The absence of both players means Orlando Robinson, Colin Castleton, Jamal Shead, AJ Lawson and Jamison Battle should see increased run.

With 8:41 remaining in the fourth quarter and the Raptors holding an 86-80 lead, Barnes was subbed out of Sunday’s game. He would not return, underlining the concern regarding elite fantasy players whose teams want to improve their draft lottery odds. Fantasy managers received solid production in the rebounds, assists and steals categories, but Barnes was also responsible for five turnovers. And with the Raptors visiting Phoenix on Monday, managers should plan for the likelihood that Barnes does not play. AJ Lawson (nine points, eight rebounds, six assists and one three-pointer) played 33 minutes off the bench against Portland, and he could move into the starting lineup if Barnes sits on Monday.

Give the Raptors credit for a well-executed tank job on Sunday. Once Poeltl and Scottie Barnes were pulled from the lineup, the Trail Blazers mounted a rally and won by three. The next few weeks may be frustrating for those who have Poeltl rostered; even if he plays, there’s the chance that his minutes are cut like they were on Sunday. And with the Raptors visiting Phoenix on Monday, Orlando Robinson (10 points, four rebounds and two assists in 30 minutes) could be moved into the starting lineup.

Agbaji made his first appearance in the Raptors’ lineup since February 28, and the returns were encouraging. Unsurprisingly, he wasn’t asked to take on a starters’ workload in Portland, but the third-year wing provided solid value in his 25 minutes on the court. With the Raptors visiting the Suns on Monday, Agbaji may be held out for injury management reasons. If so, Jamison Battle (nine points, two rebounds, one assist and three three-pointers in 23 minutes) may take on a more significant role within the rotation.

Kispert injured his left thumb during Saturday’s win over the Nuggets and will not play in Portland on Monday. His absence frees up additional minutes for AJ Johnson, who logged 18 on Saturday, as the Wizards were already playing without Marcus Smart. While Johnson may take on a similar role, he isn’t productive enough to merit being streamed.

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. If Smart remains out, Johnson will not be a player worth adding; fantasy managers will be better off targeting Bub Carrington or Kyshawn George.

Agbaji will make his first appearance since spraining his ankle during a February 28 loss to the Bulls. Given the time missed, his minutes will likely be restricted on Sunday. However, there may come a point later in the season when Agbaji is again playing starters’ minutes. If that happens before the fantasy playoffs conclude, he’ll be worth a look in deep leagues. But fantasy managers can leave him alone for Sunday.

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.

Lawson continues to flash potential as both a scorer and rebounder.

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.

Middleton still isn’t seeing a heavy workload, but that isn’t something that is likely to change this season. However, as he proved on Thursday, that won’t prevent him from filling up the stat sheet. He struggled against Detroit on Tuesday, but he has scored in double figures in five of his last six appearances and ranks inside the top-100 in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. It has been a disappointing season overall for Middleton, but he has provided some redemption during the fantasy playoffs.

After scoring just eight points during Tuesday’s loss to Detroit, Sarr found more success on the offensive end in this game. He was also able to provide plenty of three-pointers and blocks, which is a combination that will make him dangerous in fantasy basketball for years to come. Washington is clicking at the wrong time, suddenly finding themselves with just a half-game lead over Utah for the worst record in the league. However, Sarr’s development should continue to be a priority for the Wizards for the rest of the season.

Poeltl will get the night off against the tanking Jazz, and this game is an important one for Toronto to lose if they want to improve their lottery odds.

Orlando Robinson and Colin Castleton should fill out the center minutes in place of Poeltl. Robinson (25/12/6) shined against Philadelphia on Wednesday, but Castleton was also productive and grabbed 14 rebounds.

The timeline puts an earliest return date at April 10, and by then, the Wizards will have just two games left on the schedule. Fantasy managers should consider Coulibaly’s 2024-25 season over. Assuming he doesn’t take the court again this season, he finishes his sophomore campaign with 12.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.3 steals, 0.7 blocks and 1.1 triples across 33 minutes per game. Justin Champaignie will be the biggest beneficiary from a fantasy hoops standpoint.

Holmes’ night came to an end a few minutes early after he was ejected from elbowing Ausar Thompson in the face.
