While Vukcevic was held out of Sunday’s loss to the Celtics, Gill played 22 minutes off the bench. If he can play, the latter’s playing time is impacted by the former’s availability. Vukcevic has deep-league value when available, despite backing up Alexandre Sarr. If Vukcevic or Gill does not play on Tuesday, additional minutes may also be available to JT Thor.

Tuesday’s game will be Middleton’s sixth straight missed with a knee injury. Holmes will likely miss a third consecutive game with a shoulder injury. The absences have opened up playing time for some of Washington’s younger players, notably AJ Johnson and Trista Vukcevic.

George has been removed from the injury report after missing seven games with a sprained ankle. His availability impacts Justin Champagnie and AJ Johnson the most, as one will likely head to the bench. Champagnie can still provide solid value if asked to take on a reserve role; that isn’t the case for Johnson.

Murray will miss a second straight game with a back injury. Trey Lyles replaced him in the lineup for Sunday’s win over the Cavaliers. While he did not provide much value, another opportunity to start would raise Lyles’s ceiling.

Murray sat out Sunday, and he’s in danger of missing a second straight contest due to a back injury. If he’s unavailable, Trey Lyles could remain with the first unit. Ellis’ appearance on the injury report could be precautionary for the second leg of Sacramento’s back-to-back set, and if he’s unavailable, Malik Monk could slot back into the starting five. Devin Carter would also be a candidate for additional minutes.

DeRozan has scored 21 points or more in six straight games, providing consistent offensive value to fantasy managers. However, the defensive production has limited his value, with Deebo being a sixth-round player in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. For DeRozan managers whose leagues run through Week 23, the Kings play four games, starting with Monday’s road trip finale in Detroit. He’ll be especially valuable in points leagues and for managers who don’t need defensive production.

LaVine’s entire stat line did not provide much value to category league managers, but his points, three-pointers and field goal percentage were outstanding. The 37 points are the most he’s scored in a game since February 24, and the opponent on that night (Charlotte) was far less formidable than the Cavaliers. LaVine will look to build on Sunday’s performance when the Kings end their road trip in Detroit on Monday.

Sacramento’s “big three” of Sabonis, Zach LaVine and DeMar DeRozan combined to score 92 points on Sunday. And with Phoenix’s loss to the Knicks, the Kings moved closer to locking down a play-in spot. The lone negative for Sabonis managers was the turnover category, as he was responsible for six. He’s averaged three turnovers per game over the past two weeks, so Sabonis is ranked outside the top 60 in nine-cat formats. The Kings play four games during Week 23, starting with the Pistons on Monday.

Sarr’s fantasy value has not been great recently, with the rookie ranking as a 12th-round player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. He’s been even worse in nine-cat, as the 2.8 turnovers per game have been problematic. Sarr committed four turnovers on Sunday, limiting his fantasy value in nine-cat formats. He and the Wizards play four games during Week 23, and the rookie should certainly be rostered in active leagues.

Carrington had a rough night from beyond the arc, making just one of his eight attempts. Those struggles negatively impacted his overall field-goal percentage, but the rookie did record six assists without committing a turnover. While Jordan Poole (15/2/5 with two three-pointers) continues to start, Carrington’s place in the lineup is secure, and he’s playing heavy minutes. For those whose leagues will be active during Week 23, Bub is worth the risk in deeper formats.

Champagnie had a big night on the glass, with the 13 rebounds falling one shy of his season-high. The Wizards wing has recorded five double-doubles this season, and he is ranked just outside the top 100 in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. For fantasy managers whose leagues are active during Week 23, the Wizards play four games, starting with the Pacers on Tuesday. Champagnie is worth a look in deep leagues, as he should remain in the starting five.

Murray is dealing with a sore back, hence his inclusion on the Kings’ injury report. If he’s unable to play, that may open the door for Malik Monk to return to the starting lineup. Monk has been used in a reserve role in the five games he’s played after missing three due to an illness. And even if he doesn’t start, Monk would have added value if Murray is unavailable.

While Vukcevic has not missed a game due to his injury, Holmes was held out of Thursday’s loss to the Magic. His absence led to more playing time for fellow reserve Anthony Gill, who has not been productive enough to merit being streamed in most fantasy leagues. Alexandre Sarr plays the lion’s share of the minutes at center, limiting the backups’ fantasy value.

After enduring a two-game slump in which he scored 14 points on 6-of-23 shooting, Monk got untracked Friday night. Facing one of the worst defenses in the NBA, he shot over 50 percent from the field, and the 17 points were the most in a game for Malik since March 20, before he missed three games due to an illness. Friday’s version of Monk is what the Kings and fantasy managers will need on Sunday when Sacramento ends Week 22 with a game in Cleveland.

LaVine’s fantasy value has tailed off considerably over the past two weeks, as he’s ranked outside the top 200 in nine-cat formats. The combination of limited defensive production and 3.1 turnovers per game have done him no favors during this stretch. While LaVine did not record any steals or blocks on Friday, the stat line was one of his best. In addition to the double-double, he racked up seven assists without committing a turnover. Fantasy managers will hope for a similar effort on Sunday when the Kings visit Cleveland.

Sabonis recorded his 57th double-double of the season and fifth in as many games on Friday. During this five-game run, the Kings center has provided third-round value in eight-cat formats. While Sabonis remains a top-25 player in eight- and nine-cat formats for the season, he’s ranked outside the top-75 in both since the trade deadline. The addition of Zach LaVine and the Kings not replacing De’Aaron Fox with a “true” point guard have negatively impacted Sabonis’s fantasy value.

DeRozan and the Kings didn’t have to break much of a sweat to handle the Hornets on Friday, taking a 19-point lead into the half and never looking back. He’s scored at least 21 points in five straight appearances, averaging 24.8 per while shooting 50.6 percent from the field. DeRozan’s overall production has only been good for sixth-round value during this stretch, but that’s due primarily to his limited defensive output. The Kings end Week 22 with a game in Cleveland on Sunday.

Sabonis is a late addition to Friday’s injury report which puts his status in doubt against Charlotte. If he’s ultimately sidelined, expect Jonas Valanciunas to replace him in the starting five.

Johnson has now started four games in a row for the Wizards. The 20-year-old shooting guard played 29 minutes with Jordan Poole and Khris Middleton sidelined Thursday. The opportunity is there for Johnson right now, even though he fell mostly flat with an 11-point game against the Magic.

Carrington went off for a career-high 32 points against the Magic Thursday. The 19-year-old rookie had only one previous game with at least 20 points, which came when he scored 23 points on February 8 against the Hawks. Carrington took full advantage of Jordan Poole and Khris Middleton being out of the lineup and was a great streaming option on a night with only six games across the league.

Carter has been diagnosed with a right shoulder contusion, according to a press release from the Kings. Still, the same report said he will be listed as questionable after missing the last two games.

Smart did not play in Wednesday’s win over the Kings, as the Wizards relied mainly on Jordan Poole, Bub Carrington and AJ Johnson on the perimeter. Poole is unavailable for Thursday’s game, so rotation minutes will be available to Smart.

Thursday’s game is the second in as many nights for the Wizards, so Poole will not play.

While his fantasy ceiling is limited due to backing up Alexandre Sarr, Vukcevic has put together some solid performances over the past two weeks. He’s reached double figures in seven of his last 10 games, providing 12th-round value in eight-cat formats. Sarr (15/4/1/1/1 with three three-pointers in 26 minutes) will remain the priority since he was Washington’s lottery pick, but Vukcevic is worth a look in deep leagues, especially as more teams shut down key players as the regular season concludes.

Johnson has started Washington’s last three games, logging at least 37 minutes in each appearance. And if Khris Middleton and Marcus Smart remain out, there’s no reason to believe the rookie’s playing time will decrease. As one would expect from a rookie, Johnson’s production has been inconsistent, but he’s scored 19 points or more in two of his last three appearances. He’s only shot 38.6 percent from the field over the past week, so fantasy managers have mostly stayed away. However, Thursday’s game against the Magic could be a good one to gamble on Johnson, as that is one of the lighter game days of Week 22.

After struggling in 38 minutes on the floor in Monday’s blowout loss to the Heat, Carrington was better against the Kings. Shooting just under 50 percent from the field, the rookie’s 19 points were the most in a game for him since February 8. Over the past two weeks, Carrington has been ranked just outside the top 150 in eight-cat formats, as shooting 36.7 percent from the field has not done him any favors. For managers who can afford to take a hit in that category, Carrington playing starters’ minutes improves his chances of having another night like Wednesday before the season ends.

With the Wizards prioritizing their younger players, and rightfully so, Poole has only surpassed 25 minutes four times in his last 10 appearances. For fantasy managers, that makes it paramount that he takes advantage of the opportunities he does get, which was the case against the Kings. Poole was efficient in scoring his 24 points, shooting over 50 percent from the field, and not committing a turnover. Over the past two weeks, he has offered fourth-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats. Washington hosts Orlando on Thursday before closing out its Week 22 slate on Sunday in Boston.

LaVine had a rough second half on Wednesday, shooting 1-of-7 from the field, and the Kings lost a game they could ill afford to lose in their quest to earn a play-in spot. While shooting 44.6 percent from the field over the past two weeks isn’t terrible, LaVine doesn’t have as much margin for error, fantasy-wise, due to his limited defensive production. During this stretch, he’s ranked outside the top 250 in nine-cat formats and the top 150 in eight-cat. Not only do the Kings need him to be better in their final two games of Week 22, but the same can be said for fantasy managers who have LaVine rostered.

As is usually the case, Sabonis again provided reliable value in points, rebounds and assists on Wednesday. Unfortunately, a combination of limited defensive production and poor foul shooting have made him a sixth-round player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. Sabonis has been a top-20 player in eight-cat formats for the season, which aligns with his Yahoo! ADP of 15. If anything, the additions of DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine may negatively impact how Sabonis is viewed in drafts next fall if the Kings keep this core together.

Usually fourth or fifth in the Kings’ offensive pecking order on most nights, Murray’s had to provide value in other areas. He finished Wednesday’s defeat with two steals and one blocked shot and has averaged 0.8 steals and 1.6 blocks over the past two weeks. That production is one of the reasons why he has offered top-25 value in nine-cat formats during this stretch. Shooting 50.5 percent from the field doesn’t hurt, but Murray’s willingness to consistently take on challenging defensive assignments has boosted his fantasy value after a slow start to the season.

After scoring 31 points in Monday’s loss to the Pacers, DeRozan put up another 29 on Wednesday. He’s scored at least 20 points in 11 of his last 12 outings, except a March 25 loss to Oklahoma City. Over the past month, DeRozan has provided eighth-round value in nine-cat formats. That’s three rounds lower than his season-long value, with slight dips in his defensive stats being a factor. Sacramento continues to hang around in the race for a play-in spot in the West, which ensures DeRozan will play starters’ minutes for the rest of Week 22.

Holmes suffered a right shoulder contusion during the first half of Wednesday’s game.

This was just DeMar’s fourth 30-point game since the All-Star break, but Sacramento has now lost six of their last seven games. They now hold a one-game lead over the Suns for the final play-in spot, but their next two games are against Washington and Charlotte, which should give them some breathing room.

Outside of Jordan Poole, who scored a game-high 35 points, Vukcevic was the only Wizard to score in double figures on Monday. That is something he has done in seven of his last 10 appearances, though his inconsistent role has made him a difficult player to trust. Vukcevic is only 22 years old and has shown plenty of flashes over the past two seasons that should encourage dynasty managers that have him stashed. Washington has three more games this week, including a back-to-back on Wednesday and Thursday.

Playing against his former team, Sabonis had a great matchup with Thomas Bryant starting in place of Myles Turner, who was sidelined with an illness.

Simply put, Poole had no help in Monday’s game. The rest of the starting unit combined to score 29 points in the blowout loss. Poole got off to a quick start and score Washington’s first nine points of the game, but the score got out of hand quickly. The good news is that Poole was able to play 29 minutes after playing less than 25 minutes in four consecutive games. That isn’t something managers should expect to continue, since Washington hasn’t been shy about limiting his minutes to give their young players more minutes.

This was Monk’s third game back from a three-game absence, and he remained in a reserve role for a third-straight game after being a consistent starter since December. He has really struggled since returning from an illness, and that continued in this game.

Sabonis has reached double figures in rebounds in four straight games, including three double-doubles.
