Watkins saved his best for last, recording a season-high point total in the final game of his rookie campaign. He shot 5-of-9 from beyond the arc, with the five makes also a season high for the athletic forward. Watkins is on a two-way deal, so he faces a critical summer in terms of solidifying his place in the NBA.

While the final game of his rookie season was not particularly good, Riley played well more often than not over the last month. The 6-foot-8 wing scored in double figures in 11 of his last 12 games, providing seventh-round fantasy value during that stretch. The Wizards have a lot of young wings on their roster going into the offseason, making it challenging to project Riley’s value in redraft leagues next fall. Not to mention a likely high lottery pick in what’s projected to be a loaded draft. However, Riley is unquestionably worth holding onto in dynasty leagues.

Carrington finished his second NBA season on a positive note, totaling 50 points in the Wizards’ final two games. However, his category-league fantasy value remained low over the final month of the season, even with the increased playing time. With a healthy Trae Young in the mix, Carrington will compete for the backup point guard role in 2026-27. While he’s worth holding onto in dynasty leagues, redraft league managers are likely to leave Bub on the board in drafts next fall.

Gill is good to go for Sunday’s season finale after being injured during Friday’s loss to the Heat. While he has started games recently, Julian Reese has been the more productive option, as the rookie has played more minutes.

The Wizards will be light on options for Sunday’s season finale, especially on the perimeter. The absence of Coulibaly and Johnson will mean more opportunities for Will Riley and Leaky Black. As for Vukčević, his continued absence does not change much in the frontcourt, with the Wizards continuing to rely on Julian Reese.

In addition to his back injury, Gill took a shot to the head during Friday’s loss to the Heat. While the veteran forward/center was not officially ruled out at the time, he’s dealing with a headache, so Gill is on the injury report. Julian Reese has been productive recently and is worth rostering in active fantasy leagues, regardless of Gill’s availability.

Riley has scored in double figures in 10 of his last 11 appearances, including Friday’s defeat. With multiple Wizards wings sidelined due to injury, the rookie has been allowed to do more offensively, whether he’s coming off the bench or starting. For fantasy managers in active leagues, Riley is worth a look for the Wizards’ season finale on Sunday against the Cavaliers.

Back in the lineup after missing Thursday’s loss to the Bulls, Coulibaly recorded his first stat line this season with at least 25 points, five rebounds and five assists. Given the Wizards’ many young wings and the fact that they’ll likely hold onto their top-8 protected first-round pick, Coulibaly will face significant competition for rotation minutes when training camp opens next fall. Nights like Friday can only strengthen his case for a starting spot.

A double-digit scorer in six consecutive games, Carrington matched his season-high on Friday with 30 points. The second-year guard made six of his seven three-point attempts against the Heat while finishing a blocked shot shy of a complete stat line. With a healthy Trae Young in the mix, Carrington is going to have a reserve role next season. That said, a good finish to the season would help solidify his place in the rotation.

Coulibaly will return to play the second leg of Washington’s back-to-back set after sitting out Thursday’s matchup with the Bulls. He should handle his typical workload for Washington’s 81st game of the season.

A common practice of lottery-bound teams at this stage of the season is to play their two-way and 10-day contract guys heavy minutes. Black played 41 minutes on Thursday, and while the stat line wasn’t exactly robust, he finished one rebound shy of a double-double. Playing time shouldn’t be an issue for Leaky in Washington’s final two games of the season, so those in active leagues should consider picking him up.

While he struggled with his shot on Thursday, going 1-of-9 from three, Riley’s overall stat line would be valuable in category leagues. The rookie wing recorded six “stocks” and offered solid value in rebounds and assists. Kyshawn George had a similar finish to last season, which boosted his ADP going into drafts last fall. The Wizards’ wing rotation is a bit more crowded going into this offseason, so Riley may not be able to do the same, but there’s a lot to like about the 20-year-old wing.

When allowed to play significant minutes, Reese has consistently played well enough to earn a longer look from the Wizards in the summer. He recorded another double-double on Thursday, his third in as many games and fifth since being signed to a two-way deal. The Wizards have two more games this season, and Reese can be valuable to managers in active fantasy leagues.

Four of the Wizards’ five starters are unchanged from the quintet that the Bulls blew out on Tuesday. Bilal Coulibaly (heel) is out, and he has been replaced in the lineup by Riley. The rookie wing should play plenty in the Wizards’ final three games of the season.

In addition to a sprained right foot, Johnson is dealing with a sore lower back. Leaky Black started Tuesday’s loss to the Bulls, but he was limited to 24 minutes, so fantasy managers in active leagues should not expect too big of a boost to his playing time.

Hardy did not play in Tuesday’s loss to the Bulls, which factored into Sharife Cooper playing 27 minutes off the bench. Cooper should take on a similar workload in Thursday’s rematch.

Gill will be in the Wizards’ rotation on Thursday, but the playing time may be limited. He logged 16 minutes in Tuesday’s loss to the Bulls, with Julian Reese playing 36. The rookie forward/center may be the safer option for fantasy managers in active leagues.

Coulibaly, who was held out of Sunday’s loss to the Nets due to heel bursitis, logged 24 minutes in Tuesday’s loss to the Bulls. His absence for Thursday’s rematch opens up a spot in the starting lineup, with Will Riley and Justin Champagnie being potential replacements.

Sarr will miss a sixth consecutive game with a toe injury, while Vukčević will miss his fourth due to a knee injury. The Wizards started Anthony Gill and Julian Reese in Tuesday’s blowout loss to the Bulls, with the latter playing 36 minutes. Gill is questionable, so Reese may still log heavy minutes on Thursday.

Johnson did not play in Tuesday’s loss to the Bulls, the second straight game that he’s missed. Leaky Black has moved into the starting lineup, and he could remain there even if Johnson plays, as Bilal Coulibaly is also questionable for Thursday’s game.

Even with Hardy unavailable for Tuesday’s loss to the Bulls, the Wizards had enough available players to roll out a nine-man rotation. If he can play in Thursday’s rematch, Hardy should get minutes off the bench, especially with Bilal Coulibaly listed as questionable.

Gill started Tuesday’s loss to the Bulls, but a cervical lumbar contusion limited him to 16 minutes. Julian Reese, who also started on Tuesday, logged 36 minutes. He may have to take on an even heavier workload, as the Wizards remain without Alex Sarr and Tristan Vukčević.

Reese had another excellent game with a very similar stat line to his game against the Nets on Sunday. The 22-year-old rookie power forward filled up the box scored in his 36 minutes on the floor. Reese has made it clear that he’ll be a fantasy asset whenever he starts.

While the Wizards kept the door open on a return at some point before the end of the season, Young’s remaining sidelined is no surprise. He appeared in five games after being traded from Atlanta to Washington and is expected to be one of the Wizards’ cornerstones moving forward. Young’s recent injury history will make it challenging to trust him with a first-round pick in fantasy drafts next fall. Still, he has the potential to offer that kind of value, especially for managers punting turnovers.

Davis was cleared for light contact last week as the Wizards tried to ramp up the 33-year-old center for a return, but just ran out of time. With Davis this close to returning, he should have a normal offseason and be ready for the start of next year.

Hardy was initially listed as questionable with back spasms, but has since been ruled out for Tuesday’s game against the Bulls. Leaky Black could be of added importance with Tre Johnson (foot) also sidelined.
