Recap

P.J. Washington accounted for 15 points (6-of-10 FGs), five rebounds and three three-pointers in Sunday’s win over the Lakers.

After missing three games due to illness, Washington started and played 30 minutes on Sunday. The overall value was limited, but the Mavericks’ forward shot 60 percent from the field. As was expected by many fantasy managers based on his ADP, Washington has provided late-round value in 12-team leagues this season. And that’s unlikely to change in 2026-27.

P.J. Washington (illness) and Marvin Bagley III (shoulder) are doubtful for Friday’s game against the Magic.

Due to the doubtful tags, Washington and Bagley are likely to remain out on Friday. The former’s absence raises Naji Marshall’s fantasy ceiling, as Marshall has been removed from the injury report after missing Tuesday’s loss to the Bucks. As for Bagley, his continued absence means Dwight Powell will likely serve as Daniel Gafford’s backup.

P.J. Washington recorded 21 points (7-of-14 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), six rebounds, one steal and three three-pointers in Saturday’s loss to the Clippers.

Washington has scored at least 20 points in three of his last four appearances, and he put up solid percentages in Saturday’s overtime defeat. However, like teammate Naji Marshall, his value in category leagues is somewhat limited due to the production outside of points and rebounds. Washington has provided seventh-round value over the past two weeks, which may be his ceiling as far as fantasy basketball is concerned.

P.J. Washington amassed 23 points (7-of-14 FGs, 7-of-8 FTs), nine rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two three-pointers in Wednesday’s loss to the Hawks.

Washington has reached double figures in each of his last four games, with the 23 points being the most he’s scored in nearly a month. Rostered in 40 percent of Yahoo! leagues, the veteran forward has been an 11th-round player in eight-cat formats since the All-Star break. That isn’t great fantasy value, but it’s good enough to keep Washington on the radar in 12-team leagues.

Recap

P.J. Washington finished with 18 points (7-of-13 FGs), seven rebounds, one assist, one steal and four three-pointers in Monday’s loss to the Mavericks.

Washington had a solid night’s worth of production on Monday, as he shot efficiently from the floor on relatively limited shot attempts. He still converted over half of his looks to fall just short of the 20-point mark and tied a team-high in made three-pointers. There was nothing spectacular about Washington’s numbers from a fantasy standpoint, but he had a decent final line, all things considered.

P.J. Washington accumulated 20 points (8-of-16 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), 11 rebounds, two assists, five steals, one block and three three-pointers in Sunday’s win over the Cavaliers.

After sitting out Friday’s loss to the Cavaliers, Washington was one of the difference-makers in Sunday’s rematch. Not only did he record his first 20-point game since February 22, but he also finished with his first 20-point double-double since mid-December. Add in the defensive stats, headlined by five steals, and this was an excellent end to Week 20 for Washington. However, with the Mavericks playing on Monday, a three-game Week 21 could be two for P.J.

P.J. Washington returned to the lineup on Tuesday and finished with 13 points (4-of-11 FGs), two rebounds, three assists and one three-pointer against the Hornets.

Following a three-game absence with an ankle injury, Washington was back in the starting unit against Charlotte.

However, he should continue to play a big role for Dallas, with this six-game road trip continuing in Orlando on Thursday.
