Starting for the injured Alexandre Sarr (ankle), Holmes did not miss a shot on Wednesday. The 20 points were a season-high, with the offensive output making up for the non-existent defensive stats. Holmes is unlikely to revisit his fantasy basketball “glory days” at this stage in his career, but he’s worth a look in deep leagues when allowed to start. Sarr’s absence also means more playing time for Tristan Vukcevic, who finished Wednesday’s defeat with eight points, two rebounds, one assist, one block and one three-pointer in 19 minutes.

While Johnson’s inclusion in the Kyle Kuzma trade did not draw much attention then, the move east gave him a shot at consistent rotation minutes. The rookie guard averaged 27 minutes per game in his 22 appearances for the Wizards. While Johnson’s fantasy value remained extremely low, the chances of earning a rotation spot in Washington next season are far more realistic than they would have been in Milwaukee.

Wizards fans who began Sunday hoping to see their team strengthen their odds of landing the first overall pick in this summer’s draft may not have been thrilled with Carrington’s heroics. However, it was a nice end to a difficult season for the rookie guard. Bub didn’t shoot the ball well in Miami but made the decisive play when it mattered most. Carrington also made some history on Sunday, becoming the first Wizards rookie to play all 82 games since Jeff Ruland in 1981-82. Carrington made 57 starts this season; holding onto that role would raise Bub’s fantasy ceiling in 2025-26, but he’ll need to shoot better than 40.3 percent from the floor to be a useful fantasy player.

Like fellow reserve Tristan Vukcevic, Jones experienced an increase in playing time due to the starter’s minutes being limited. Kyshawn George (5/2/1 with one three-pointer) played 15 minutes, with Jones being the beneficiary on a day when Washington only played seven. The second-year wing recorded his first career double-double, with the stat line including a career-high 10 rebounds. While George appears to have the edge regarding 2025-26 fantasy value, Jones is worth watching during Summer League play. The move from Sacramento to Washington has resulted in him receiving more opportunities to play, which he needed.

While Williamson has shown flashes of the talent many expected him to be when selected first overall in the 2019 draft, there have been availability concerns. He’s surpassed 60 games twice in six seasons in New Orleans, most recently making 30 appearances in 2024-25. Add in the off-court concerns, including Williamson being named in a recent lawsuit accusing him of rape and years of abuse, and it’s fair to question his place within the Pelicans’ hierarchy. Based on his recent comments, Dumars does not appear to share those concerns. “I’ve had really good conversations with Zion,” Dumars said. “We’ve had lunch. Dinner. Watched playoff games together. We’ve done it all. I’ve had some real honest conversations with him. Some real direct and honest conversations. We’re going to go forward with Zion. He’s going to continue to be a focal point here as we go forward.”

Williamson’s attorneys released a statement calling the charges against him categorically false. While this case plays out in the legal system, the NBA may also choose to open its own investigation. Williamson’s future with New Orleans was a topic of discussion heading into the offseason, and it’s yet unknown how much this lawsuit may impact the front office’s decision to keep him on the roster or move him and take the franchise in a different direction.

With the Pelicans relieving lead executive David Griffin of his duties and hiring Joe Dumars as his replacement, there was a fresh set of trade rumors regarding Williamson. With the final three seasons of his current contract not guaranteed, it may be easier for New Orleans to move Zion and hit the “reset” button. However, according to Guillory, that’s unlikely to happen this summer. “There’s already been communication between Williamson, his camp and Dumars on several occasions,” Guillory wrote. “All parties feel pretty good about where things stand with the Pelicans-Williamson marriage heading into next season.” When on the court, Williamson can be a highly impactful player in fantasy leagues, especially for managers not needing three-point production. However, availability has been an issue for most of his career, which negatively impacts his ADP.
