WAS • Shooting Guard and Small Forward • #18

George, who has a left knee contusion, played 21 minutes in Tuesday’s loss to the Hawks. If he’s unable to play in Thursday’s rematch, the Wizards would have a void to fill in the starting lineup. Justin Champagnie is the most likely replacement, and he would be worth streaming if allowed to start.

George is available and will return after missing Friday’s win over the Pacers. The 22-year-old forward’s return may be the only change to the Wizards’ starting lineup as Justin Champagnie, who replaced George on Friday, is out with a knee injury.

George did not play in Friday’s win over the Pacers, with Justin Champagnie replacing him in the starting lineup. With Champagnie (knee) also questionable for Sunday’s game, the Wizards may have to rely more on Will Riley. However, Riley has totaled 16 minutes over the last two games despite not showing up on the injury report.

While George started Thursday’s win over the Pacers, the second-year wing only played 19 minutes. His absence for Friday’s rematch should result in more minutes for Will Riley, who played just four on Thursday. While he has silly-season standout potential, Riley may be hard to rely on in the short term, given how the Wizards have handled their rotation.

While George led the Wizards in scoring on Wednesday, he only played 24 minutes. And that may be the frustrating aspect of rostering him in fantasy leagues for the rest of this season. He doesn’t need much time to put up solid numbers, but the second-year wing has not exceeded 27 minutes in any of his last five appearances. Will Riley (4/4/2) shot a frigid 1-of-12 from the field but played 29 minutes. That may be the norm after the All-Star break.

George was initially listed as questionable with an ankle injury, but is available for Wednesday’s game against the Cavaliers. The 22-year-old small forward sprained his ankle in the third quarter Sunday’s game against the Heat and didn’t return, but is good to go for Wednesday.

George exited Sunday’s loss to the Heat during the third quarter and did not return. If he’s unable to play against the Cavaliers, rookie Jamir Watkons would likely move into the starting lineup.

George sprained his left ankle while playing defense during the third quarter of Sunday’s game. The second-year wing limped to the locker room immediately after being subbed out, and he will not return to the game. George finished with 13 points, two rebounds, three assists, one block and three three-pointers in 19 minutes. Jamir Watkins, who started Saturday’s loss to the Nets, will likely see his playing time increase if George misses additional games.

George is back after sitting out Saturday’s loss to the Nets. As a result of his return, Jamir Watkins will return to the bench, with his already-low streaming value taking a hit.

George did not play in Saturday’s loss to the Nets, opening up a spot in the starting lineup for rookie Jamir Watkins. Watkins played 45 minutes, finishing with 13 points, one rebound, one assist, one steal, two blocks and one three-pointer. That isn’t the most robust stat line, but Watkins playing that much stands out. On a four-game day, he would be worth streaming if George sits again.

A right knee contusion will keep George out of Saturday’s game, which is the first of two in as many days for the Wizards. Will Riley, Justin Champagnie and Jamir Watkins should all receive more opportunities, with the first two being the superior options for fantasy managers.

George was limited to 18 minutes in Thursday’s win over the Pistons, and there was no injury announced beforehand. Fantasy managers certainly shouldn’t move on from George yet, but they should watch his playing time. Will Riley is one player whose opportunities will likely increase as the Wizards look to strengthen their chances of holding onto their first-round pick.

George has scored at least 18 points in five of his last six appearances as he continues to make strides as one of the Wizards’ young building blocks. Over the past two weeks, the second-year wing has offered top-20 per-game value in eight- and nine-cat formats, according to Basketball Monster. George and the Wizards have two more games on the Week 15 schedule, starting with the Lakers on Friday.

George had another rough shooting night, but he has been able to make up for it by being effective in other categories. This was the fourth straight game that he shot below 40 percent from the floor, but he has still been able to provide third-round value in nine-category leagues during that stretch. He is a good shooter, so that won’t always be an issue. George has the makings of a fantasy superstar, and he’ll look to get back on track offensively against the Bucks on Thursday.

Though the inefficient shooting remained, it has been a strong stretch of games for George. He is averaging 21 points, 7.2 rebounds, 5.4 assists, 1.4 steals and 2.2 triples over his last five games. He ranks inside the top 100 in nine-category leagues this season, but during this stretch, he is inside the top 25. He’ll look to stay hot in Charlotte on Saturday to wrap up the week.

George had an opportunity to give the Wizards a one-point lead late, but his three-point attempt fell short. That summed up the day for the second-year wing, who struggled with his shot and racked up six turnovers. Performances this inefficient have not been the norm for George this season, so fantasy managers should not be too concerned.

Saturday’s game was the best for George since returning from the hip injury that sidelined him for seven games. The 29 points were the most in a game for him since Washington’s second game of the season, and he was also effective setting up others. As long as he stays healthy, George should be a fantasy standout the rest of the season. Managers in 10-team leagues should ensure that he isn’t sitting on the waiver wire.

George led all Washington players in scoring on Wednesday, getting the job done both inside and outside the paint. He made some plays with his athleticism and showed off his well-roundedness as a facilitator along the way. George has played well throughout his sophomore season — his consistency leaves optimism for even greater ceilings as a fantasy basketball player. He’ll look to land even more production on Friday against the Kings.

George and Middleton are back after not being available for Wednesday’s loss to the 76ers. Their returns mean that Bub Carrington and Justin Champagnie will come off the bench, lowering the fantasy ceilings of both players.

George is back after missing Washington’s last seven games with a strained left hip flexor. With the Wizards having traded CJ McCollum to the Hawks on Wednesday, they may start George and Tre Johnson together on Friday. Johnson has been Kyshawn’s replacement in the starting lineup.

Sunday’s game against the Timberwolves will be the fifth that George has missed since suffering a strained left hip flexor. However, while the second-year wing is doing some on-court work, Wizards head coach Brian Keefe declined to provide a return timeline. Fantasy managers should consider George to be week-to-week, and Tre Johnson should remain in the starting lineup as long as Kyshawn is out.

George has missed Washington’s last four games with a left hip flexor strain, and Sunday’s contest will be the fifth. Rookie Tre Johnson has performed well as his replacement in the starting lineup and is worth streaming in deep leagues.

Friday’s game will be the fourth that George has missed with a left hip flexor strain. Tre Johnson has been the replacement in the starting lineup, and he’s averaged 17.3 points on 52.8 percent shooting over the last three games. The rookie is worth streaming until George returns to the Wizards’ lineup.

George is set to miss a third straight game with this hip flexor strain. Tre Johnson should continue to start in his place and has been on fire recently. He had his best game of the season on Monday with 24 points and five three-pointers in a loss to the Suns. He’ll be worth streaming until George returns, though he should still hold value after that.

Middleton played on Sunday, but he’ll sit out the second leg of Washington’s back-to-back set. George will miss a second straight contest. With both Middleton and George sidelined, Justin Champagnie should earn a second straight start, while guys like Tre Johnson and Will Riley should see additional run.

George has been downgraded after initially being listed as questionable. Justin Champagnie is the likely candidate to start in his stead, and with this being the first of a back-to-back, Champagnie could see multiple starts.

George is dealing with a sore left hip flexor. If he can’t play on Sunday, Justin Champagnie is a potential replacement in the starting lineup. If that were to happen, Champagnie could start two straight games, as the Wizards also play on Monday. Khris Middleton, who has not played both games of back-to-backs, is currently active for Sunday’s game.

The Wizards put forth one of their best performances of the season on Friday, with George and five others scoring at least 12 points. The second-year wing continues to exceed the expectations of most fantasy managers, providing fifth-round value in eight-cat formats. And the timing of this performance was great for George, as he endured the worst game of his season in Tuesday’s loss to the Hornets. While the occasional “dud” can happen, George’s overall production has been highly encouraging.

George was extremely efficient, shooting 62.5 percent from the floor, draining 3-of-7 from beyond the arc to finish just shy of his second 30-point performance of the season. It was his first time reaching the 20-point threshold since November 19. The 22-year-old is averaging an encouraging 15.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 6.5 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.3 blocks across four games over the past two weeks. The Wizards are back in action on Sunday with a home tilt against the Spurs before kicking off a three-game week on Tuesday with a road matchup against the Hornets.

George’s three-point production against the Cavaliers led to him tallying 15 points for the third straight game. His numbers were quiet across most of the remaining statistical categories from a fantasy basketball standpoint, which hasn’t been the case during his second NBA season. Fouls also played a role in his finishing with only 26 minutes of game action. Assuming fouls aren’t an issue on Sunday against the Pacers, George will have a chance to land some solid production.
