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.

George entered Thursday’s game in a slump, having shot 8-of-28 from the field over the previous three games. He got back on track against the Celtics, but it wasn’t enough to help Washington avoid a 45-point defeat. The recent slump dropped his fantasy value just outside the top-100, but the second-year wing should be fine. He remains someone who has to be rostered in all 12-team leagues, and George will be more valuable later in the season.

George is good to go after initially being considered questionable. He’ll take on his usual role as the starting small forward. With the Wizards being down multiple wings, Cam Whitmore is still in line for a boost to his usage on Tuesday.

Washington gritted out a tough win over Milwaukee on Sunday, and the Wizards may just be giving George a maintenance day for the second leg of a back-to-back set. Corey Kispert (thumb) is out indefinitely, Tre Johnson (hip) is out, and Khris Middleton is resting. That leaves Cam Whitmore as the man who could see a massive usage boost. Whitmore is worth streaming on Tuesday’s six-game slate.

George will be back after a one-game absence. Corey Kispert started in his place, but he fractured his right thumb and will be sidelined indefinitely. Cam Whitmore should see a few extra minutes off the bench with Tre Johnson (hip) also sidelined, but he won’t see a significant boost in minutes with George available.

George’s absence from Tuesday’s win over the Hawks led to Corey Kispert starting, and he scored 16 points in the first quarter. However, Kispert suffered a fractured right thumb during the third quarter and is out indefinitely. With Tre Johnson (hip) also out indefinitely, Cam Whitmore may be the next man up if George can’t play on Friday.

George will miss a game for the second time this season, freeing up a spot in the starting lineup. Tre Johnson was the replacement for the first game George missed on November 7, but he is out as well. Corey Kispert and Cam Whitmore should also have increased opportunities to contribute, with the former being the preferred deep-league streamer.

George has not missed a game since November 7, and that was due to an illness. On that night, he was replaced in the starting lineup by Tre Johnson. That may be the Wizards’ approach on Tuesday as well, with the rookie being worthy of a look in deep leagues. Cam Whitmore will also have added value, but he is a deep-league streamer at best.

George had a chance to put Washington ahead in the final seconds but uncorked an errant pass that went out of bounds, sending the Wizards to their 14th straight defeat. The 21-year-old forward has been one of the club’s few standouts this season, delivering seventh-round value for fantasy purposes, averaging 16.5 points through 15 games. The Wizards will attempt to turn things around when they open a two-game week with a showdown against the Hawks on Tuesday night.

George continues to flourish, most recently doing so on a night when the Wizards were without Alex Sarr. The second-year wing has scored at least 20 points on five occasions this season, including each of his last two appearances. In fantasy basketball, only Sarr has been more valuable than George among Wizards players thus far. Given how well Kyshawn has played, that’s unlikely to change anytime soon.

George knocked down five of 10 attempts from beyond the arc, finishing just shy of his second 30-point outing of the season. It was an impressive individual showing, but it wasn’t enough to keep Washington from dropping its 11th straight game, falling to 1-12 on the year. The 21-year-old has averaged 19.7 points over his last three contests, performing at roughly a fifth-round level for fantasy purposes during that stretch. The Wizards will attempt to turn things around this week when they face the Timberwolves, Raptors and Bulls in road tilts.

While George didn’t produce the best field-goal percentage on Wednesday, fantasy managers will undoubtedly take the rebounds, assists and steals. The nine assists were a career-high for the second-year wing, who is ranked just outside the top-50 in eight-cat formats. While some pinpointed George as a potential breakout candidate during the offseason, few expected him to be as valuable as he’s been thus far.

George will be back after missing Friday’s game against Cleveland. Both Bub Carrington and Tre Johnson started with George and Bilal Coulibaly (leg) out. Coulibaly is still out, so only one of Carrington and Johnson will remain in the starting lineup, though both should play big minutes.

George missed Friday’s game against the Cavaliers with an illness and his questionable listing has his status up in the air for Saturday. Bub Carrington and Tre Johnson could end up playing a lot if George is ultimately ruled out in addition to Bilal Coulibaly (leg), who is set to miss another game.

A late addition to the Wizards’ injury report, George joins Bilal Coulibaly (leg) as starters who will not be available on Friday. Bub Carrington and Tre Johnson are potential replacements for George, and both players will have higher fantasy ceilings regardless of who receives the nod.

George’s late addition to the injury report doesn’t bode well for his availability on Friday night. If he’s unable to go, Bub Carrington and rookie Tre Johnson are good candidates to replace him in the starting lineup, and both players should see an uptick in playing time.

George may not be an explosive scorer, but his ability to put up numbers in various categories makes him an excellent asset in category leagues. He recorded a complete line against the Knicks, including three steals and three three-pointers, while shooting over 50 percent from the field. Will George remain a third-round player in 12-team leagues for the entire season? We’ll see. But there’s no denying he has the skill set to be a high-value player in fantasy basketball.

George, who’s rostered in 58 percent of Yahoo! leagues, continues to exceed expectations regarding fantasy value. He’s ranked within the top-50 in nine-cat formats, and the second-year wing still hasn’t hit his ceiling. George is shooting 62.5 percent from the foul line and averaging 3.3 turnovers per game, negatively impacting his nine-cat value. However, even for those who may be skeptical about George’s ability to sustain this production over 82 games, he’ll continue to figure prominently in the Wizards’ rotation. Hop onto the bandwagon before it’s too late.
