A common practice of lottery-bound teams at this stage of the season is to play their two-way and 10-day contract guys heavy minutes. Black played 41 minutes on Thursday, and while the stat line wasn’t exactly robust, he finished one rebound shy of a double-double. Playing time shouldn’t be an issue for Leaky in Washington’s final two games of the season, so those in active leagues should consider picking him up.

Making sense of the Wizards’ rotation in recent games proved a frustrating task for many fantasy managers, and Black is a prime example of this. One day removed from playing four minutes in a loss to the Heat, he was in the starting lineup on Sunday and logged 42 minutes against the Nets. Washington did not have Bilal Coulibaly or Tre Johnson, which factored into Black’s heavier workload. He didn’t shoot the ball particularly well, but Leaky did manage to record a career-high five steals. The Wizards play four games in Week 24 for those in active fantasy leagues, but pinpointing which will be good spots to stream Black may prove challenging.

Black may not have done much scoring on Wednesday, but the overall line would have category league managers salivating if recorded by a more established player. In six prior appearances this season, he totaled three steals and four blocks. Against the Jazz, Black was responsible for three steals and three blocks while also recording seven rebounds, three assists and three three-pointers. Since Black is not guaranteed to be active every night as a two-way contract player, he should not be rostered in redraft leagues.

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.

Sunday’s game will be the sixth that Black has missed due to a sprained left ankle. His absence alone does not affect fantasy basketball, but it has freed up additional minutes for Jamir Watkins and Jaden Hardy off the bench.

Black will miss a fifth consecutive game on Saturday. While the continued absence does not affect his fantasy value, as Black should not be rostered, more minutes have been available to Jamir Watkins off the bench.

Thursday’s game will be the fourth that Black has missed due to a sprained ankle. Justin Champagnie started Tuesday’s loss to the Pistons, playing 29 minutes. He’ll have added value in Thursday’s rematch.
