After racking up eight assists in a March 14 loss to the Celtics, Carrington totaled ten in the four games that followed. While that stretch included a 30-point night, Bub’s growth as a playmaker for others is one of the key storylines for the Wizards over the last month of the season. And that’s with it being clear that Trae Young will be running the show in the future. Carrington recorded eight assists and three turnovers, a solid night despite it occurring in a blowout defeat. The Wizards play three games in Week 22, starting with the Jazz on Wednesday.

Due to the many absences from the Wizards’ rotation, Hardy was given more room to contribute offensively on Sunday. A double-digit scorer in four straight and seven of his last eight appearances, the 25 points are a new season-high for the fourth-year guard. While Hardy has been on a good run recently, his opportunities aren’t a priority compared to Will Riley (11/1/4 with one three-pointer) or, when healthy, Tre Johnson. Redraft league managers should leave Hardy on the waiver wire.

Vukčević, who started Sunday’s game for Alex Sarr, experienced tightness in his lower back during the second half and will not return. He played 15 minutes, finishing with 13 points, one rebound, one assist and three three-pointers. Anthony Gill has stepped in to take over the center responsibilities for the rest of the night.

The Wizards won’t have Alex Sarr or Justin Champagnie for Sunday’s game, with the latter serving a one-game suspension after his ejection from Saturday’s loss to the Thunder for fighting. Watkins and Vukčević move into the starting lineup, with the latter offering a little more streaming upside.

Initially ruled out for Sunday’s game, Black is now available. While it’s unknown what changed since he was never listed as questionable, Justin Champagnie’s one-game suspension could have been a factor. There isn’t much to gain from rostering Black, but he should play rotation minutes.

Getting him back would give the Warriors another option to call upon on the wing, but Moody’s playing time may be limited in his first game.

Payton is good to go after sitting out Saturday’s loss to the Hawks. Multiple players experienced slight increases in playing time with GPII unavailable, including Will Richard and LJ Cryer. Look for them to take hits on Monday, but Richard should still get into the mid-to-high 20s in minutes.

Quinten Post, who started in Atlanta, is out for Monday’s game with a foot injury, which should mean a return to the starting lineup for Porziņǵis if available. As for Melton, he is dealing with a left hand contusion, but the probable tag suggests that he will be allowed to play.

Williams’ 19 points on Saturday were a season-high for him, and he did it on 8-of-9 shooting from the field. He didn’t offer much beyond the points, and one game does not make a player of Williams’ caliber a must-have on any fantasy roster. That said, it was good to see him take advantage of the opportunity placed in front of him in Atlanta.

Melton had a good night despite the Warriors being on the wrong end of a blowout, recording his second 20-point game in his last four outings. He has provided 10th-round value in eight-cat formats since the All-Star break, shooting 41.4 percent from the field. If Melton can clean up the shooting, he becomes a far more valuable fantasy player. The Warriors play four games in Week 22, starting with the Mavericks on Monday.

After totaling six points on 2-of-21 shooting from the field in his prior two appearances, Sarr desperately needed a night like Saturday. While it ended in defeat, the second-year center/forward getting untracked was a great development for the Wizards and those rostering Sarr. He has not played both games of a back-to-back since late January, which does not bode well for Sarr’s chances of playing on Sunday against the Knicks.

After beginning Week 21 with a four-point effort against the Warriors on Monday, Carrington has reached double figures in three straight. Saturday’s stat line wasn’t on par with his 30-point Tuesday against the Pistons, but Carrington shot the ball well against the Thunder. The second-year guard shot 4-of-7 from beyond the arc, moving to 11-of-21 over the last three games. The Wizards visit the Knicks on Sunday in their final game of Week 21.

Melton will play both games of the Warriors’ back-to-back, having logged 23 minutes in Friday’s loss to the Pistons. While he’ll be in the starting lineup, the Warriors may look to limit Melton’s workload. Still, he should be rostered in deep leagues.

Of the three, Green’s status is most important since he’s locked in as a starter. Post could start, as the Warriors won’t have Kristaps Porziņǵis, but a move into the first five would not significantly impact his short-term fantasy prospects. Leons started the second half of Friday’s loss to the Pistons, but he also is not worth the risk in redraft leagues.

The Warriors visit the Hawks on Saturday, and they could be even more shorthanded for that one.

Podziemski recorded a complete stat line on Friday, which helps compensate for the 15 points scored. After scoring 25 points in consecutive games, he’s tallied 15 or fewer in each of his last three.

He hasn’t been on the radar of fantasy managers this season, and for good reason, given his lackluster production. However, the rookie’s defensive activity makes him capable of having games like Thursday, where he can do a little bit of everything. Watkins played 27 minutes against the Pistons, matching his season-high in steals and recording a new high in blocks. Add in the rebounds and assists, and this was a solid performance as far as category leagues are concerned. However, this does not make Watkins a player worth adding.

While coming off the bench limits Vukčević’s fantasy upside, he’s scored in double figures in four of his last five appearances. And the third-year center has two 20-point games during this stretch, including Thursday’s loss to the Pistons.

Starter Alex Sarr (two points, three rebounds, two assists and two blocks) played 21 minutes and shot 1-of-12 from the field. If there comes a point when the Wizards shut down Sarr, Vukčević could benefit.

Rostered in five percent of Yahoo! leagues, Payton has largely been an afterthought in fantasy basketball this season. However, that should change during these playoff weeks in Yahoo! default leagues. Since the All-Star break, Payton has provided seventh-round value in eight-cat formats, and he’s been a round better in nine-cat. With the Warriors ending Week 21 with a back-to-back, he’s worth a look in deep leagues, having played both ends of the team’s most recent back-to-back on Sunday and Monday.

Playing a game in Boston for the first time since being traded to Atlanta last offseason, Porziņǵis logged 23 minutes on Wednesday. He had a rough night shooting the basketball, but the good news for fantasy managers was that the 7-foot-3 forward/center recorded a complete line. Wednesday’s game was the first that Porziņǵis and Draymond Green (13/5/5/1 with three three-pointers) started alongside each other, and the latter had one of his most productive offensive games since the All-Star break.
