Markkanen will miss a fifth-straight game, with Thursday’s absence due to return to competition conditioning. As for Clarkson, he will miss a second-straight contest after logging 23 minutes on Sunday. Fantasy managers should be all-in on Isaiah Collier, Kyle Filipowski and Brice Sensabaugh, as they’re guaranteed to play as long as they’re healthy.

He and Champagnie step in for Khris Middleton and Kyshawn George, who are out due to injury. Johnson and Champagnie are worth streaming for this matchup, while Jones misses out on a boost to his fantasy value.

The last few games for Carrington have been subpar, so it was good to see him get back on track in this one. He recorded the third point-rebound double-double of his career and set a new career-high for rebounds. He was also able to score in double figures after scoring a total of 15 points over his last four games. Carrington has shown plenty of upside during his first year in the NBA, and he won’t turn 20 until after this upcoming Summer League. He certainly has a bright future in Washington.

Just three days after scoring a career-high 14 points, Johnson broke that mark again and had arguably the best performance of his young career. It took a few weeks for Johnson to start seeing minutes for Washington, but he has now played at least 15 minutes in seven games. He has had at least three assists in all of those. That isn’t an impressive number, but for a 20-year-old that is still learning how to play with other young players on a bad team, it’s a great sign for the future.

Poole got off to a hot start on Monday and scored 11 points in just the first quarter. He was able to have a solid scoring night, but he was limited to just 22 minutes. This wasn’t the first time that Poole’s minutes have been cut short by Washington prioritizing improving their lottery odds. He has played less than 30 minutes in five straight games and less than 25 minutes in three of those. Poole has had a strong season, but Washington’s emphasis on building for the future will continue to limit his fantasy impact.

While Kessler had a rough afternoon shooting the ball, going 3-of-12 from the field and 0-of-4 from the foul line, his rebounding and blocked shot production were excellent. Among Utah’s more established players, Kessler has been the most available, missing just four games since the All-Star break. Unfortunately for those who have him rostered, Utah’s three-game Week 21 ends with a Thursday/Friday back-to-back.

Two days removed from going off for 30 points in a loss to the Celtics, Sexton fell back to earth on Sunday. Regarding his fantasy value, Sunday’s performance was closer to the norm for the Jazz guard, who has been ranked outside the top 250 in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. Sexton’s status as a starter is why he remains rostered in 81 percent of Yahoo! leagues, but Brice Sensabaugh (10 points, three rebounds and two three-pointers) has been more valuable recently.

Filipowski has started three of Utah’s last six games, and as one would expect, he’s been more productive when given those opportunities. The rookie has recorded two double-doubles during this stretch. While his lack of defensive production limits his ceiling, Filipowski is worth the risk due to Lauri Markkanen’s questionable availability. The negative heading into Week 21 is Utah’s schedule. The Jazz play three games and are inactive for the final two days of the week.

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.

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.

Sexton was the primary source of offense in Friday’s ugly loss to Boston. He accounted for over a third of Utah’s points between his scoring and passing. He was incredibly efficient as a shooter, but he simply didn’t get much help from his teammates, especially the other starters, who combined to score a total of 21 points.

The Jazz center began Wednesday with the team’s G League affiliate, playing 41 minutes and finishing a win over Mexico City with 37 points and 26 rebounds. Due to the Jazz being without multiple rotation players, Tshiebwe logged 18 minutes off the bench against the Wizards on Wednesday night. He’s the first player in G League history to record seven 20/20 games in a season, and that may be enough to earn Oscar some opportunities with the Jazz before the season ends.
