Bilal Coulibaly has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Pistons.
Fantasy Impact: Coulibaly will be sidelined for a second straight game. Justin Champagnie should continue to see more run in his absence.

Carlton "Bub" Carrington notched 15 points off the bench in Tuesday's 123-103 loss in Detroit.
Fantasy Impact: Carrington was an effective 6-of-11 from the field in 31 minutes off the pine, including a solid 3-of-5 showing from downtown. He also added three rebounds, three assists and three turnovers in the extended run. The 19-year-old is obviously still quite green by NBA standards, but he has shown an ability to shoot the 3-pointer well, while rolling up respectable point totals. He is worth rostering in deeper fantasy play, and he is a solid low-cost DFS option when the matchup is favorable.

Corey Kispert ended up with 10 points off the bench in Tuesday's 123-103 road loss against the Detroit Pistons.
Fantasy Impact: Kispert ended up playing 26 minutes, hitting 3-of-9 from the field, and 1-of-6 from behind the arc. He also added six rebounds and three assists with just one turnover. The former Gonzaga standout has double-digit point totals in three straight outings, his longest such stretch since a seven-game spurt with 10 or more points from Feb. 3-21. He can be effective for fantasy managers in deeper leagues, especially for his perimeter shooting.

Richaun Holmes notched 14 points in 22 minutes off the bench in Tuesday's 123-103 road loss against the Detroit Pistons.
Fantasy Impact: Holmes ended up hitting 6-of-10 from the field, while also making his only two free-throw attempts. He added eight rebounds with two assists and a steal, too, apparently rested up after sitting Monday in Toronto due to his knee ailment.

Justin Champagnie ended up playing 31 minutes in a start in Tuesday's 123-103 road loss against the Detroit Pistons.
Fantasy Impact: Champagnie was thrust into a much larger role with Bilal Coulibaly sidelined due to a hip injury he sustained Monday against the Toronto Raptors. Champagnie didn't do much with the opportunity, though, scoring five points on 2-of-8 shooting with eight rebounds and a game-worst minus-25 rating. If Coulibaly needs more time to mend, Champagnie could run it back with the starting five Thursday in the second end of the back-to-back. However, his fantasy appeal remains rather limited.

Khris Middleton returned to the starting lineup Tuesday night against the Detroit Pistons after sitting out Monday with an ankle injury.
Fantasy Impact: Middleton able to play 23 minutes, but he ended up with just eight points on an ugly 3-of-9 shooting performance, including 0-for-3 from behind the 3-point line. He chipped in with three boards, but he had no assists or blocked shots with two turnovers. He'll look to bounce back in the second end of the back-to-back set Thursday in Detroit.

Marcus Smart ended up with 16 points on 6-of-10 shooting in 21 minutes Tuesday night against the Detroit Pistons.
Fantasy Impact: Smart ended up a pair of 3-pointers on three attempts, while going for two assists, two rebounds and a blocked shot. Smart was ruled out for Monday's game against the Toronto Raptors due to a finger injury, but it didn't seem to affect him Tuesday. If you normally rely upon him for fantasy purposes, it's safe to get him back in the active lineup.

Jordan Poole ended up with 15 points across 26 minutes in Tuesday's 123-103 loss in Detroit.
Fantasy Impact: Poole was able to knock down 3-of-9 from behind the 3-point line, while also contributing 2-of-2 from the free-throw line. He added five rebounds, three assists and two steals to make up for the inefficient shooting performance. He'll look to bounce back in the second end of the back-to-back Thursday night at Little Caesars Arena.

Alexandre Sarr tallied 16 points (5-of-19 FG), 11 rebounds, two assists, three blocks, and two three-pointers in Monday’s game against Toronto.
Fantasy Impact: Sarr secured his second straight double-double—both against the Raptors—despite a cold shooting stretch, hitting 36% or worse from the field in five of his last seven games, though he’s blocked six shots over his past three. The 19-year-old center’s rebounding and defensive chops shine for fantasy managers, but his offensive efficiency lags. Deeper-league rosters can lean on his boards and blocks while hoping for a shooting turnaround.

Fantasy Impact: The veteran will miss yet another game on Saturday as he continues to work his way back from an ankle injury. No return seems to be imminent for him, so Marcus Smart and Carlton Carrington are both set to see more work for the foreseeable future.

Kyshawn George scored 23 points (8-17 FG, 3-9 3PT, 4-5 FT) to go along with seven rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in the Wizards 125-122 win over the Jazz.
Fantasy Impact: George led Washington in scoring who had seven score in double figures in the win. He'll continue to see more opportunity as long as Jordan Poole remains sidelined.

Anthony Gill (ankle) is active for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. (Source: NBA Injury Report)
Fantasy Impact: Gill will be active for the Wizards on Friday. He was initially considered questionable to play due to an ankle injury, but it's not serious and the team isn't concerned with his health at this point. He isn't expected to see much work in the Wizards' rotation, especially with Khris Middleton set to make his debut for them in this matchup.

Fantasy Impact: The move was made to open a roster spot for Erik Stevenson who signed a 10-day contract with Washington. Nowell will look to earn a roster spot with another team.

Fantasy Impact: Stevenson played well enough in the G-League to earn a roster spot with Washington for at least 10 days. He will remain off the fantasy radar.

Tristan Vukcevic scored 18 points (7-10 FG, 2-3 3P, 2-2 FT) with six rebounds, two assists, and two stocks in the Wizards' 131-121 loss to the Spurs on Monday.
Fantasy Impact: The young forward has seen an increase in playing time since around the trade deadline, and he's starting to come alive. While Vukcevic may not have the highest ceiling at the moment, he's certainly a name to keep an eye on and even stash on benches should his role continue to increase.

AJ Johnson (trade) has been upgraded to active for Friday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. (Source: NBA Injury Report)
Fantasy Impact: Johnson has been upgraded to active for Friday's game after initially being listed out. He will be able to make his debut for the Wizards against the Cavaliers, but fantasy managers shouldn't have high expectations for him in this matchup.

Marvin Bagley III has been traded from the Washington Wizards to the Memphis Grizzlies. (Source: Shams Charania on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: The 25-year old will get a fresh start after being traded from the Washington Wizards to the Memphis Grizzlies on Thursday. He has been out for a while due to a nagging knee injury, and fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to play much more than a depth role even when healthy.

The Wizards have requested waivers on Reggie Jackson. (Source: Keith Pompey on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Jackson was sent to Washington earlier in the day. He'll likely look to sign with a contender.
