Middleton is back after sitting out Saturday’s loss to the Mavericks for injury management reasons. His return means Justin Champagnie will head back to the bench, losing his streaming value in the process.

Middleton had four points in 22 minutes in the loss to the Cavaliers on Friday, but he’ll sit out the second game of the back-to-back. The 34-year-old small forward’s absence won’t impact fantasy basketball as much as it’ll impact the Wizards’ overall depth with Bilal Coulibaly (leg) out and Kyshawn George (illness) questionable.

Middleton will be back after a two-game absence. Justin Champagnie started in his place but didn’t play a large role in either game. Champagnie will return to a limited reserve role with Middleton back.

Middleton’s absence from Wednesday’s game will be his second since suffering an elbow injury. Justin Champagnie replaced him in the starting lineup on Monday, but the change also meant more opportunities for Tre Johnson off the bench.

Middleton will be sidelined for the first time this season after initially being listed as questionable. That opens a spot in the starting unit, which could be filled by Bub Carrington or Tre Johnson, though Corey Kispert and Cam Whitmore could also be in line for extra minutes.

Middleton is dealing with a left elbow contusion, hence his presence on the Wizards’ injury report for Monday. If the veteran forward cannot play, Bub Carrington may return to the starting lineup. However, the second-year guard has provided limited fantasy value thus far and is not a must-stream player in this scenario.

Bucks staffers gave Middleton a hero’s welcome upon his arrival at Fiserv Forum for his first game at the arena since being traded in February. The veteran forward played well in Wednesday’s opener. Middleton was efficient on offense, shooting over 50 percent from the field and 3-of-6 from beyond the arc. Two concerns for Middleton in fantasy basketball are his availability and the Wizards’ full investment in rebuilding. In a perfect world, Middleton will play well enough to boost his value heading into the February trade deadline, with a potential move elsewhere ensuring he’s available for the stretch run. That may not be the case if he remains in Washington for the entire season.

No surprises here, as Middleton will get fully compensated for the final year of the three-year, $93 million deal he signed with Milwaukee in 2023. Given his recent injury history and declining play, Middleton’s next contract will surely be far less than what he makes this season. He will be an unrestricted free agent in the summer of 2026.

Middleton had already been ruled out for Friday’s game, so this update from Keefe just simply means that Middleton will likely miss a ninth-straight game on Sunday in the regular season finale. As if anyone was expecting him to play in that. Thanks coach. Washington will continue to rely on the young guys against Miami on Sunday.

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.

Middleton and George will remain out for Sunday’s game, with the former missing a fifth straight and the latter a seventh. Justin Champagnie and AJ Johnson have moved into the starting lineup, and both are worth streaming in deep leagues.

Middleton and George remain out for another game, with Middleton missing a fourth straight and George’s unfortunate streak extended to six straight. Justin Champagnie and AJ Johnson should stay in the starting lineup, with Champagnie being the preferred streaming option since he has a safer fantasy floor. Also, Colby Jones should play rotation minutes after missing Wednesday’s win over the Kings.

Monday’s game will be the second missed by Middleton and the fourth by George. Their absences have freed up places in the starting lineup for Justin Champagnie and AJ Johnson, with the former being the player worth targeting in deep leagues.

Washington is already actively trying to improve their lottery odds, so there is no reason for Middleton to play through injuries. Any knee pain simply isn’t worth the long-term effects. Colby Jones started the second half in place of Middleton, but AJ Johnson should also take on a larger role to finish the game.

Middleton has been removed from the injury report after sitting out Wednesday’s win over the 76ers for injury management reasons. AJ Johnson will likely move to the bench, but the rookie should not fall out of the rotation entirely. Middleton has not exceeded 27 minutes in any appearances with the Wizards since the team acquired him from the Bucks at the February trade deadline.

Washington is still managing Middleton carefully in a down year following a pair of ankle surgeries. George has shown some flashes but tweaked his ankle after just two minutes his last time out. Justin Champagnie will likely have a featured role against Philadelphia with both wings ruled out.

Middleton is available after sitting out Saturday’s loss to the Knicks, the Wizards’ second game in as many nights. His return means Bub Carrington will likely head to the bench, which lowers the rookie’s fantasy ceiling.

Middleton continues to manage an ankle injury after undergoing bilateral ankle surgery over the offseason. Justin Champagnie figures to be the primary beneficiary of the 33-year-old small forward’s absence.

Both Tristan Vukcevic and Bub Carrington started in place of Middleton and Kyshawn George (knee) on Wednesday, but they will likely return to the bench with both Middleton and George not on the injury report. However, Washington is focused on lottery odds, so it’s unclear if Middleton will play a significant role.

Middleton and Smart will miss Wednesday’s game, and the latter also missed the previous two. Middleton’s absence will be more impactful as it opens up a space in the starting lineup. Justin Champagnie may return to the starting lineup, raising his fantasy ceiling.

Middleton still isn’t seeing a heavy workload, but that isn’t something that is likely to change this season. However, as he proved on Thursday, that won’t prevent him from filling up the stat sheet. He struggled against Detroit on Tuesday, but he has scored in double figures in five of his last six appearances and ranks inside the top-100 in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. It has been a disappointing season overall for Middleton, but he has provided some redemption during the fantasy playoffs.

Middleton and Smart sat out Monday on the first leg of Washington’s back-to-back set, but the pair of vets will be good to go on Tuesday. Bub Carrington could see a reduced role with Middleton and Smart back in action.

Middleton and Smart are out for injury management reasons, so the Wizards’ young players will again be the priority. Bub Carrington will likely move into the starting lineup, while there should be bench minutes available to Jaylen Nowell and Erik Stevenson. There’s no need to stream Nowell or Stevenson in this spot, but Carrington is worth adding.

Middleton didn’t play a ton of minutes, but he was on the court long enough to lead his team in scoring and deliver some useful peripherals. Over the last two games, he’s gone for at least 16/3/3/2, and he’s ranked just outside the top 100 in per-game fantasy value over the last week. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues could do worse.

Middleton’s production has been limited since being traded to Washington, but he played well on Saturday. He had his highest scoring game as a Wizards and still provided value in other categories while playing just 24 minutes. Middleton’s role has been limited with Washington, and that isn’t likely to change at any point. However, he proved in this game that he can still contribute standard league value in a limited role. Washington only has three games next week, but Middleton should be productive when he’s on the floor.
