George sustained his ankle injury in Monday’s matchup with Toronto, and it will cost him a second straight game. Middleton’s continued absence isn’t a surprise, given the veteran’s recent injury history. While both players are sidelined, Justin Champagnie should see a substantial uptick in playing time.

Wagner struggled to find his shot for the second game in a row. The 23-year-old small forward is 16-of-43 over the last two games including 1-of-11 from behind the three-point line. Wagner has been solid otherwise, contributing 17 rebounds and six assists over that timespan. He’ll look to get his shot back in normal form Saturday against the Kings.

Banchero haș now scored at least 30 points in five straight games and seven of his last eight contests. The 22-year-old power forward is a scoring machine, though his three-point shot hasn’t been great lately. Banchero is just 5-of-19 from behind the three-point line over the last three games. Still, he’s averaging 30 points per game in 17 games since the All-Star break. Banchero is getting hot at the right time for fantasy managers.

Poole played just 25 minutes again Thursday. It was his sixth-straight game with less than 30 minutes and fourth in that span with 25 minutes or less. While the Wizards clearly aren’t pushing Poole for heavy minutes at this point in the season, they at least had good reason for his usage on Thursday as they were party to a massive blowout. Poole had a pretty good game considering the Wizards lost by 53 points. Unfortunately for Poole, it doesn’t seem like his minutes will trend back up in what’s left of the season.

Sarr has scored at least 22 points with at least seven rebounds, at least one block and at least one steal in each of his last two games. While the Wizards are looking towards the future, Sarr is making a statement that he’s going to be a big part of it. The 19-year-old center has been just outside the top-100 in fantasy value since the All-Star break as his play has picked of late.

Washington is already actively trying to improve their lottery odds, so there is no reason for Middleton to play through injuries. Any knee pain simply isn’t worth the long-term effects. Colby Jones started the second half in place of Middleton, but AJ Johnson should also take on a larger role to finish the game.

Thursday’s game will be the second that Smart and George have missed with their respective injuries, and the latter’s absence is more impactful on fantasy basketball. Justin Champagnie filled in for George in Wednesday’s win over the 76ers and should remain in the starting lineup, making him a streamable player in deep leagues. As for Smart, his continued absence means more playing time for AJ Johnson, who will likely come off the bench with Khris Middleton returning from a one-game absence.

Middleton has been removed from the injury report after sitting out Wednesday’s win over the 76ers for injury management reasons. AJ Johnson will likely move to the bench, but the rookie should not fall out of the rotation entirely. Middleton has not exceeded 27 minutes in any appearances with the Wizards since the team acquired him from the Bucks at the February trade deadline.

Still doubtful for Thursday’s game against the Mavericks, Anthony did not participate in shootaround with his teammates. However, the Magic guard did get in some individual work and shooting. Cory Joseph has been Anthony’s replacement in the starting lineup, but Anthony Black has offered a higher fantasy ceiling. Rostered in 10 percent of Yahoo! leagues, the latter has provided 10th-round value in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks.

While serving as the backup to a rookie lottery pick isn’t the best place for a two-way contract player to be on the depth chart, Vukcevic has taken advantage of his opportunities. Over the past two weeks, he has offered eighth-round value in eight-cat formats. Vukcevic is rostered in 12 percent of Yahoo! leagues, and deep-league managers needing a center should consider adding him. In addition to playing two more games during Week 21, Vukcevic and the Wizards are scheduled to play four during Week 22.

Sarr recorded a complete stat line on Wednesday, and the rookie continues progressing as his debut season winds down. Over the past two weeks, the 7-foot-1 big has offered top 50 value in eight-cat formats. And since the All-Star break, Sarr is ranked just outside the top 100. His name may not be mentioned in Rookie of the Year conversations, but the Wizards are likely encouraged by what they’ve seen from Sarr.

Champagnie stepped in for the injured Kyshawn George and acquitted himself well in Philadelphia. He recorded his third double-double of the season, and the 18 points are the most Champagnie has scored in a game since December 28. Rostered in 11 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he has offered top 100 value in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. Champagnie will be worth a look in more leagues if George remains out with his sprained ankle.

Johnson made his third start of the season on Wednesday. The rookie offered solid value in the rebound and assist categories, but a 1-of-7 night from three dragged down the field-goal percentage. Johnson will have more opportunities before the season ends, either as a starter or a reserve. There isn’t much to gain from rostering the rookie guard, but keep an eye out for him the next time he’s allowed to start.

While it was initially reported that Colby Jones would move into the starting lineup, the Wizards announced that Johnson would be the starter shortly after.

The Wizards are without Khris Middleton and Kyshawn George for Wednesday’s game, opening up two spots in the starting lineup. The vacancies will be filled by Jones and Champagnie, with the latter making his first start as an NBA player.

Wagner struggled to find his shot in this one, going just 8-of-22 from the floor and 1-of-9 from beyond the arc. In four games leading up to this one, he averaged 23.8 points, 7.3 rebounds and 5.8 assists, so Tuesday’s productive outing was more of the same, albeit with some inefficient shooting. Wagner and Paolo Banchero combined for 58 of Orlando’s 111 points in this one, and the duo should continue to shoulder the scoring load when the Magic host the Mavericks on Thursday.

Banchero kept up his hot scoring in this one, delivering a game-high point total while shooting an efficient 13-of-24 from the floor. Over his first 16 games post All-Star break, Banchero averaged 29.6 points. He’s now scored at least 30 points in four straight and six of seven games, making him one of the most productive offensive players in the NBA right now. He’ll look to stay hot in Thursday’s juicy home matchup with the shorthanded Mavericks.

While Cory Joseph will remain in the starting lineup, whoever has the “hot hand” between him and Anthony Black will play the lion’s share of the minutes.

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.

The Magic remain without Cole Anthony, who is recovering from a toe injury that has sidelined him for five of the team’s last six games. While Cory Joseph (5/4/5 with one three-pointer in 17 minutes) has been his replacement in the starting lineup, Black came through with one of his best performances of the season. The second-year guard has scored 13 points or more in three of his last four outings, providing top-60 value in eight-cat formats over the past week. Due to his inconsistency, Black is not to be trusted in most fantasy leagues. But his recent play will grab attention in some deep leagues.

After three straight games with 20 points or more, Wagner recorded his first 30-point game since February 8 on Monday. Unfortunately for him and those who have the Magic forward rostered, this was Orlando’s last meeting with the Lakers this season. Franz was elite in the first meeting, scoring 37 points and hitting the game-winning shot. Over the past two weeks, Wagner has provided sixth-round value in eight-cat formats. Orlando plays three more games during Week 21, starting with the Hornets on Tuesday.

For a player who has been more valuable in points leagues than category leagues for most of the season, Banchero is getting hot at the right time for those who have him rostered.

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.

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.
