With CJ McCollum (quad) sidelined for the first time this season, Carrington entered the starting unit for Washington. It seems likely that he’ll get at least one more start on Friday against the Pelicans since the Wizards traded for Trae Young and shipped out McCollum right after the game ended. Young had been dealing with a quad injury, so Carrington should start until he is available to make his debut for the Wizards, giving him limited streaming value.

Khris Middleton sitting out the second game of a back-to-back is unsurprising, but CJ McCollum’s inclusion on the injury report may have raised some eyebrows, given recent trade rumors. Carrington and Champagnie move into the starting lineup, and both are worth streaming in deep leagues due to Washington’s lack of depth.

Carrington had a great impact on Wednesday, coming off the bench to torch the Bucks from behind the three-point line and finish as one of Washington’s top scorers. Along with the scoring and season-high in made three-pointers, the second-year guard also finished as one of Washington’s best facilitators on the night. The defensive counting stats haven’t become a consistent part of Carrington’s game yet, but if he can add a couple of stocks to his nightly lines, he could really take off in the coming years as a fantasy basketball option.

Carrington continues his emergence as one of Washington’s main scoring threats as he’s topped 14 points in five of his last six games since December 6. The 20-year-old youngster drained 4-of-6 from three-point range and shot 63.6 percent from the floor overall in this one. He’s at least worthy of a speculative roster spot in all fantasy formats until further notice. The Wizards kick off a three-game week against the Hornets on Tuesday before facing the Raptors and Grizzlies.

Carrington was ice-cold from the floor — draining just 4-of-11 shots, including 2-of-7 from three-point range — on the heels of a stellar all-around performance during Friday’s loss to the Cavaliers where he delivered 27 points, six rebounds and eight assists. The 20-year-old upstart has emerged as a viable option in deeper fantasy leagues over the past week, averaging 19 points, 6.5 rebounds and one steal over his past two games. He’s taken advantage of an uptick in scoring opportunities with several of Washington’s key contributors sidelined due to injury. He’ll attempt to keep the momentum going when the Wizards face the Spurs on Thursday in a road matchup.

Carrington tied a team-high in points on Friday and also led the Wizards in assists. He was the most productive player on the team during his 41 minutes of game action, highlighted by the five threes he tallied. The scoring and three-point marks that the second-year guard tallied were both season highs, and he’ll look to build off the performance and put together another strong one on Sunday against the Pacers.

The Wizards are without Bilal Coulibaly, Khris Middleton and Alex Sarr, with Middleton being the most recent absentee. Carrington, Champagnie and Bagley start with the latter being the best streaming option. While Carrington’s fantasy ceiling has been raised, McCollum should also have the ball in his hands plenty.

Carrington left Thursday’s matchup with Detroit after only four minutes with knee soreness, so his full practice just three days later is certainly encouraging. It doesn’t appear that he’s in danger of missing the opener against Milwaukee on October 22, but fantasy managers should still keep an eye on his status.

Carrington exited Thursday’s preseason finale after playing four minutes. He landed awkwardly after attempting to deflect a pass. The good news is that the Wizards announced the second-year guard is dealing with a sore left knee rather than a more serious issue. Washington opens the regular season on October 22 against Milwaukee. Fantasy managers should not panic and push Carrington down their draft boards, unless the Wizards provide an update that proves more serious than the initial diagnosis.

Carrington and fellow second-year Wizard Kyshawn George (11 points, two assists and one three-pointer) were the only holdovers from the lineup that started Sunday’s loss to the Raptors, as Alex Sarr, CJ McCollum and Khris Middleton all rested on Monday. Bub made the most of his limited shooting opportunities, not missing any of his three attempts from the field. George also shot well, going 3-of-6 from the field and 4-of-4 from the foul line. Carrington and George being starters make both solid late-round fantasy options, with the latter offering a slightly higher ceiling due to his defensive ability.
