Middleton (knee) is back in the starting lineup after missing Monday’s contest against Phoenix, which sends Jamir Watkins back to the Washington bench. The Wizards had won two straight games before the recent loss to the Suns. With the return of their veteran forward, they’ll look to get back on track against a Bucks team that seems to be finding its groove.

Middleton is good to go after sitting out Sunday’s loss to the Spurs, which was Washington’s second game in as many nights. Justin Champagnie will return to the bench, lowering his fantasy ceiling.

Middleton took the court on Saturday, but he’ll sit out for the second leg of Washington’s back-to-back set. With Coulibaly and Whitmore also sidelined, the Wizards will be shorthanded at forward, which may mean an expanded role for Justin Champagnie. Alex Sarr has been ruled out, and Marvin Bagley III is questionable, so Tre Johnson and Will Riley could be called on more off the bench.

Middleton will be back after missing the last four games. Bilal Coulibaly (ankle) has been ruled out, so Middleton will likely just fill his spot in the starting lineup, which also means Bub Carrington should remain in the starting unit.

Thursday’s game will be the fourth that Middleton has missed due to a sore right knee. Justin Champagnie has moved into the starting lineup, but that has not led to a significant increase in playing time. With Bilal Coulibaly available, there isn’t much to gain from streaming Champagnie, even if he remains in the starting five.

Sunday’s game will be the third straight that Middleton has missed, as he continues to deal with a sore right knee. Justin Champagnie has been his replacement in the starting lineup and should retain that role. However, he played only 18 minutes in Friday’s loss to the Cavaliers, while rookies Jamir Watkins and Will Riley logged 29 and 24 minutes, respectively, off the bench. With Tre Johnson returning to action on Friday, there may not be enough minutes for Champagnie to affect fantasy basketball, even if he remains in the starting lineup.

Middleton will miss a second consecutive game with a sore right knee. Justin Champagnie replaced him in the lineup for Saturday’s loss to the Hawks, playing 32 minutes. He should retain that role, although Tre Johnson could take away a few minutes since he has been removed from the injury report.

Middleton was initially questionable for Saturday’s game. His absence frees up a place in the starting lineup, with Justin Champagnie being the most likely option to fill the void. Champagnie is worthy of consideration in deep leagues but is not a must-stream player.

The 14th-year pro has started all 16 games he’s appeared in so far in his first full season with the Wizards. He’s averaging 10.4 points per game, which is the fewest since his rookie season. Should he be unable to go, Bub Carrington and Justin Champagnie could see more opportunities.

Due to the nature of Thursday’s game, with the Wizards losing 146-101, Middleton only played 25 minutes. In a more competitive game, he likely plays more, especially with Bilal Coulibaly and Tre Johnson sidelined due to injury. Rostered in 14 percent of Yahoo! leagues, the veteran forward has been a 12th-round player over the last two weeks. That doesn’t move the needle much in fantasy basketball, especially for a player who isn’t playing both ends of back-to-backs.

Middleton did not play in Tuesday’s loss to the 76ers, as it was Washington’s second game in as many nights. His return means Justin Champagnie will head back to the bench. While Champagnie’s ceiling is lowered with the change, he’ll still be in the rotation as the Wizards remain without Tre Johnson and Corey Kispert.

The veteran will get the night off for maintenance as Washington plays the second leg of a back-to-back set. Washington is dealing with a number of injuries, which means Cam Whitmore could see plenty of run in this one.

Middleton didn’t do much scoring on Tuesday, but he was productive in other areas. The 12 assists matched his career high, and he was also responsible for seven rebounds, the most in a game for the veteran forward since October 28. Middleton’s slow start and the Wizards’ prioritization of youth in their rebuild are why he isn’t providing top-200 fantasy value, but he’s worth the risk on a light game night like Tuesday.

His return means Justin Champagnie will head back to the bench, where he isn’t worth the risk in any fantasy leagues. Johnson will make his third start as the Wizards remain without Bilal Coulibaly.

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 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.
