Vukčević will be inactive for a fourth consecutive game as he recovers from a strained left hamstring. His absence does not affect fantasy basketball.

Bagley’s status is more impactful, as he serves as Alex Sarr’s backup while Johnson is not in the Wizards’ rotation on most nights. With Tristan Vukčević (hamstring) out, the Wizards would have to go small if Bagley doesn’t play. However, neither he nor Johnson moves the needle in fantasy basketball.

Middleton is one of three Wizards players listed as questionable for Thursday’s game due to illness. However, he’s the only one who’s a lock to start if available. Who would replace Middleton in the lineup may depend on Bilal Coulibaly, who’s questionable with a lower back strain. If Coulibaly can play after a three-game absence, the Wizards could go small and keep Bub Carrington in the starting five.

Coulibaly has missed Washington’s last three games with a lower back strain, opening up a spot in the starting lineup for Bub Carrington. The second-year guard should remain in the starting five if Coulibaly has to miss a fourth consecutive game.

On January 1, Valančiūnas was given a four-week timeline for re-evaluation, but the questionable tag indicates that he is ahead of schedule in his recovery from a right calf strain. If Valančiūnas is cleared to return, he’ll likely face a minutes restriction, but DaRon Holmes II and Zeke Nnaji could see their playing times reduced.

Gordon was back in the Nuggets’ lineup after sitting out Sunday’s loss to the Hornets, pushing DaRon Holmes II (DNP-CD) out of the rotation entirely. While he didn’t record any defensive stats, Gordon’s points, rebounds, assists and three-pointers were solid. The combination of decreased defensive production and poor foul shooting has negatively affected Gordon’s fantasy value recently, pushing him outside the top-100. That said, he’ll be worth holding onto as long as the Nuggets are without Nikola Jokić.

Two nights removed from being limited to 11 points in a blowout loss to the Hornets, Watson was more productive against the Lakers. The fourth-year forward recorded a complete stat line in his 38 minutes, and he has offered consistently reliable value over the past month. Rostered in 43 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Watson has been a sixth-round player in eight-cat formats over the past month. He’s worth rostering until Christian Braun (ankle) and Cameron Johnson (knee) return from their injuries.

Like Jamal Murray, Tuesday’s game was a tale of two halves for Jones. After making all four of his three-point attempts during the first half, he was 0-of-3 from beyond the arc after halftime. Jones shot 2-of-5 from the field in the second half, and the Nuggets blew a 14-point lead. The two-way contract forward has filled in admirably over the last few weeks, but he’s barely been a top-200 player over the past month. There’s no need to add Jones, especially with Aaron Gordon back in the lineup.

Murray’s shot from just beyond half court capped an 8-0 Nuggets run to end the first half, during which he scored 26 points. Murray appeared to be well on his way to an outstanding night. Give the Lakers credit for adjusting their defensive approach, sending more doubles Murray’s way, and he may have been a bit too deliberate with his decision-making. The Nuggets’ guard scored two points in the second half as Denver watched a 14-point lead slip away. Murray will look to bounce back on Thursday against the Wizards.

Hardaway’s knee contusion did not sideline him for Sunday’s loss to the Hornets, but he struggled in his 13 minutes on the floor. Capable of bouncing back with a quality showing against the Lakers, THJ is only worth the risk in deep redraft leagues.

This will be a sixth straight absence for Braun, and as of Friday, he was still limited to non-contact work. Braun could remain sidelined for a while longer, which means Peyton Watson and Spencer Jones should both remain in the starting unit for now.

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.

THJ is managing a knee contusion, but it isn’t expected to keep him out of the lineup. He remains a streaky option for fantasy managers; he only had six points in 13 minutes on Sunday after scoring 30 points on Saturday. He should occupy his typical role off the bench against Los Angeles.

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.

Gordon missed Sunday’s game, which was the second night of a back-to-back. DaRon Holmes returned to the starting lineup in his place, but he was out of the rotation entirely in their previous game. With Gordon expected back, Holmes likely won’t see the floor much against Los Angeles.

It certainly qualifies as an underwhelming performance on the heels of an explosive 42-point effort during Saturday’s win over the Wizards. Murray struggled to get going on the second night of a back-to-back as Denver looked completely out of sync, shooting just 41 percent overall to finish with only 87 points. The Nuggets have a four-game slate next week that features showdowns against the Lakers, Wizards, Bucks and Grizzlies.

Strawther took advantage of the lopsided score to do some serious damage off the bench, hitting 5-of-7 shots, including 2-of-3 from beyond the arc. The seldom-used 23-year-old guard has played sparingly this season, even with all of Denver’s injury issues, but he’s capable of producing double-digit points with consistent playing time.

The Nuggets won’t have Aaron Gordon for Sunday’s game, as he’s sitting due to hamstring injury management. He’ll be replaced in the lineup by Holmes, but don’t be surprised if Zeke Nnaji plays more minutes. That’s how things worked out earlier in January when injuries to Nikola Jokić and Jonas Valančiūnas pushed Holmes, who missed all of last season with a ruptured Achilles, into the starting lineup.

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.

While Gordon didn’t do much scoring on Saturday, the rebounding and facilitating boosted his final stat line. The Nuggets forward recorded his third double-double of the season and first since returning from the hamstring injury that sidelined him for six weeks. While Gordon is ranked outside the top-150 over the past two weeks, it’s fair to expect that the production will continue to improve as he gets further removed from the hamstring injury.

Three games removed from scoring 25 points in a win over the Bucks, Hardaway had his most productive outing since joining the Nuggets last offseason. Shooting 5-of-11 from beyond the arc, he recorded his first 30-point game of the season. Unfortunately, Hardaway didn’t provide much beyond points, three-pointers and percentages, but that’s to be expected, given his fantasy profile. No Nikola Jokić in the rotation does give Hardaway a slightly higher fantasy ceiling, but not to where he becomes a must-roster player in standard leagues.

Watson continues to offer excellent fantasy value as one of the players helping compensate for Nikola Jokić being out with a knee injury. Over the past three weeks, he has been a sixth-round player in eight-cat formats. Since Jokić’s injury, Watson has scored at least 20 points in eight of ten games, and that includes two 30-point performances. Managers in 12-team leagues should add Watson if he’s sitting on the waiver wire.

Despite the Wizards boasting one of the NBA’s worst records, Saturday’s game proved to be more challenging for the Nuggets than many anticipated. Murray made five of his six field-goal attempts during the fourth quarter to help Denver complete its rally. Saturday’s game was the third in which Murray has scored at least 40 points, with the 42 being the most in a game for him since he dropped 52 on the Pacers in early December. Denver plays four games in Week 14, starting with the Lakers on Tuesday.

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.

After missing 23 games with a Grade 2 left ankle sprain, Braun played three games before heading back to the sidelines. He’s missed the last three games, and it’s likely going to be a little while before he’s back on the court. During Friday’s practice, Braun was limited to non-contact work. Following the session, Nuggets head coach David Adelman said the team will be patient with Braun’s return. The absence of Braun and Cameron Johnson (knee) is all the more reason to add Peyton Watson if he’s available.
