Friday’s game is the second in as many nights for the Wizards, who beat the Bucks on Thursday. So, it’s unsurprising that Middleton won’t be available. Will Riley was the replacement for the most recent game that the veteran forward missed, and that may also be the case on Friday. Riley isn’t a must-stream, but he is worth watching ahead of the post-trade deadline portion of the schedule.

Johnson sprained his left ankle during the second quarter of Thursday’s win over the Bucks. Bub Carrington replaced him in the lineup to begin the third quarter, potentially a sign that he’ll be the replacement on Friday. If so, Carrington is worth streaming in deep leagues.

Friday’s game will be the fifth that Bagley has missed with a thoracic strain. Alex Sarr is absent from the injury report, so he’ll log heavy minutes as the starter.

Coulibaly did not provide much offensively in Thursday’s victory, but category managers will likely be pleased with the rebounds and defensive stats. Despite averaging six points per game, he has been a top-25 player over the past two weeks in eight-cat formats because of the rebounds, steals and blocks. Coulibaly’s fantasy upside may be a bit limited due to his lack of scoring, but there’s certainly value in rostering him.

Carrington came off the bench on Thursday, but that could change for Friday’s game against the Lakers. Tre Johnson exited after spraining his ankle during the second quarter and did not return, with Bub filling the void to begin the third quarter. All that Carrington’s final stat line lacked was a blocked shot; he’ll be worth streaming if he starts Friday night.

Playing opposite Milwaukee’s Myles Turner, Sarr had a good night in the nation’s capital. The second-year center recorded a career-high rebound total as part of a complete stat line, continuing to provide reliable fantasy value regardless of league format. With the 7-footer having been available for Washington’s last back-to-back, availability should not be an issue for Sarr when the Wizards host the Lakers on Friday.

George has scored at least 18 points in five of his last six appearances as he continues to make strides as one of the Wizards’ young building blocks. Over the past two weeks, the second-year wing has offered top-20 per-game value in eight- and nine-cat formats, according to Basketball Monster. George and the Wizards have two more games on the Week 15 schedule, starting with the Lakers on Friday.

Johnson sprained his left ankle when he landed on the foot of Bucks guard Ryan Rollins during the second quarter of Thursday’s game. Bub Carrington was inserted into the lineup to begin the third quarter, and he’ll have added streaming value if Johnson misses time. The rookie finished with eight points (2-of-7 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs) and two assists in 11 minutes.

Sarr missed practice on Wednesday, which led to him being listed as questionable ahead of this game. However, he’ll be good to go and will occupy his typical spot in the starting lineup, where he’ll look to build on his 29/12/3/2/6 line from their last game on Tuesday.

Sarr did not participate in Wednesday’s practice, casting some doubt on his availability for Thursday night. With Marvin Bagley III and Tristan Vukčević already out, the Wizards will be in a rough spot if Sarr can’t play. Anthony Gill and Skal Labissiere would have to play rotation minutes in that scenario.

Bagley will miss a fourth consecutive game as he continues to deal with a thoracic strain. With starter Alex Sarr (illness) listed as questionable, the Wizards could be left to rely on Anthony Gill and Skal Labissiere against the Bucks.

According to Robbins, there is a bug going around Washington’s locker room. Sarr should be considered questionable for Thursday’s tilt with the Bucks, and with Marvin Bagley III (back) and Tristan Vukcevic (hamstring) dealing with injuries, Washington’s frontcourt could be highly limited.

George had another rough shooting night, but he has been able to make up for it by being effective in other categories. This was the fourth straight game that he shot below 40 percent from the floor, but he has still been able to provide third-round value in nine-category leagues during that stretch. He is a good shooter, so that won’t always be an issue. George has the makings of a fantasy superstar, and he’ll look to get back on track offensively against the Bucks on Thursday.

It was a subpar shooting night for Sarr, but it was a monster night in every other category for him. This was his first double-double since January 11, and he scored at least 20 points for the third time in his last four games. He also matched his season high for both steals and blocks. That was enough to snap Washington’s losing streak. He has taken great strides this season and will look to stay hot against the Bucks on Thursday.

Coulibaly missed the last five games for the Wizards, and he returned to the starting lineup in his first game back. He logged 28 minutes and contributed solid value across the board, scoring aside. He only took two shots, so it isn’t that he struggled; he simply wasn’t aggressive on offense. That isn’t concerning, especially since he was able to produce in other categories. He’ll look to keep it going against the Bucks on Thursday.

Middleton missed Saturday’s game against Charlotte, which allowed Will Riley to start in his place and log 23 minutes. Middleton will be back, which will push Riley back to the bench, eliminating the streaming value he held.

Coulibaly will return following a five-game absence, which could result in Bub Carrington moving to the bench. Even if he’s not running with the first unit, Carrington has played well enough as of late to see significant minutes off the bench.

Labissière logged three appearances with the Kings last season, and he’s spent this season with Washington’s G League affiliate, the Capitol City Go-Go. The big man has performed well in the G League, and he could earn some rotational minutes behind Alex Sarr until Marvin Bagley and Tristan Vukcevic are back on the court. Labissière isn’t a player to target on the waiver wire.

Tuesday’s game will be the sixth that Vukčević has missed due to a strained left hamstring. While his absence does not affect fantasy basketball, it does leave the Wizards down two bigs since Marvin Bagley III (back) is also out. Anthony Gill played seven minutes in Saturday’s loss to the Hornets. He is not worth streaming.

Middleton sat out Saturday’s loss to the Hornets with a sore left foot, with rookie Will Riley playing 23 minutes as his replacement in the starting lineup. While Riley should have value during the silly season, Justin Champagnie is the preferred streamer if Middleton remains out. Despite coming off the bench, Champagnie logged 32 minutes on Saturday.

Tuesday’s game is the third straight that Bagley has missed, with the last two being due to a strained lower back. With Tristan Vukčević (hamstring) also out, Anthony Gill may pick up a few rotation minutes off the bench. He is not worth streaming.

Sarr wasn’t particularly efficient with 24 points on 19 field goal attempts, but he did lead the Wizards in scoring on Saturday. The 20-year-old center has been excellent on the defensive end, though, as he recorded at least one steal and at least one block for the third consecutive game. Sarr has provided eighth-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Wizards have a four-game week coming up, beginning against the Trail Blazers on Tuesday.

Khris Middleton missed Saturday’s game with a foot injury with Will Riley replacing him in the starting lineup. Champagnie outplayed Riley, though, and ended up playing more minutes off the bench. The 24-year-old shooting guard had a double-double with 15 points and 11 rebounds in 32 minutes. Champagnie has provided eighth-round per game value over the last two weeks, showing he has some fantasy value in the sixth man role with the Wizards.

Riley moves into the starting lineup with Khris Middleton (foot) out. The 19-year-old forward is making the first start of his career. According to the Wizards, this is the youngest starting lineup in NBA history with an average age of 20.64 years old.

Johnson was available despite an illness on Thursday, but he didn’t end up seeing the floor. Now, he won’t even suit up. However, he isn’t a consistent part of the Wizards’ rotation, so it won’t impact fantasy basketball.

This will be a fifth straight absence for Vukčević, but that typically doesn’t impact Washington’s rotation. However, with Marvin Bagley also sidelined, Vukčević would’ve filled the backup minutes if available. That role will now fall to Anthony Gill.

Middleton had previously been dealing with a knee injury, but now it is a foot issue that is giving him trouble. If he isn’t available against Charlotte, Justin Champagnie would likely slide into the starting lineup, with Will Riley taking on extra minutes off the bench.
