Kyshawn George

WAS Forward #18

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Kyshawn George (hip) is out for Friday’s game against the Nets.

Friday’s game will be the fourth that George has missed with a left hip flexor strain. Tre Johnson has been the replacement in the starting lineup, and he’s averaged 17.3 points on 52.8 percent shooting over the last three games. The rookie is worth streaming until George returns to the Wizards’ lineup.
Alex Sarr

WAS Center #20

Alex Sarr amassed 20 points (7-of-15 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), 11 rebounds, two assists, four blocks and one three-pointer in Wednesday’s win over the Bucks.

Sarr came up big down the stretch for Washington, recording a massive block at the rim on Giannis Antetokounmpo in the closing moments of the game to jumpstart CJ McCollum’s transition attack and eventual game-winning shot. The former No.2 pick of the 2024 draft finished with at least four blocked shots for the third time over the past five games, and has scored 20 or more points in two of the last three. His work on the glass against Milwaukee also led him to his second double-double of December. Fantasy managers are hoping he carries this recent momentum into 2026.
Bub Carrington

WAS Guard #7

Bub Carrington tallied 20 points (7-of-14 FGs, 0-of-1 FTs), five rebounds, five assists, one block and six three-pointers in the win over the Bucks on Wednesday.

Carrington had a great impact on Wednesday, coming off the bench to torch the Bucks from behind the three-point line and finish as one of Washington’s top scorers. Along with the scoring and season-high in made three-pointers, the second-year guard also finished as one of Washington’s best facilitators on the night. The defensive counting stats haven’t become a consistent part of Carrington’s game yet, but if he can add a couple of stocks to his nightly lines, he could really take off in the coming years as a fantasy basketball option.
CJ McCollum

WAS Guard #3

CJ McCollum added 18 points (7-of-15 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, four assists and three three-pointers in the win over the Bucks on Wednesday.

McCollum had shot just 1-of-4 from the field during the fourth quarter in the lead-up to his game-winning pull-up jumper. Yet, with the dagger, he finished as the team’s third-leading scorer on the night and tallied his seventh straight game with at least 14 points and five assists. The veteran guard isn’t putting up eye-opening stat lines at this point, but he remains very involved on the offensive end on a nightly basis. McCollum should continue to put up solid fantasy numbers so long as he is a Washington Wizard.
Khris Middleton

WAS Forward #22

CJ McCollum, Tre Johnson, Bilal Coulibaly, Alex Sarr and Khris Middleton will start on Wednesday against the Bucks.

Middleton (knee) is back in the starting lineup after missing Monday’s contest against Phoenix, which sends Jamir Watkins back to the Washington bench. The Wizards had won two straight games before the recent loss to the Suns. With the return of their veteran forward, they’ll look to get back on track against a Bucks team that seems to be finding its groove.
Malaki Branham

WAS Forward #8

Malaki Branham (calf) is questionable to play against the Bucks on Sunday.

Branham’s role has been a minimal one, and even when he’s gotten the chance to play extra minutes, he hasn’t done much in the box score. His absence won’t have much of an impact on the Wizards’ rotation and certainly won’t alter fantasy lineups.
Khris Middleton

WAS Forward #22

Khris Middleton (knee) is not on the injury report for Wednesday’s game against the Bucks.

Middleton did not play in Monday’s loss to the Suns, as it was Washington’s second game in as many nights. Jamir Watkins filled the resulting void in the starting lineup, and he’ll head back to the bench with Middleton available.
Kyshawn George

WAS Forward #18

Kyshawn George (hip) has been ruled out against the Bucks on Wednesday.

George is set to miss a third straight game with this hip flexor strain. Tre Johnson should continue to start in his place and has been on fire recently. He had his best game of the season on Monday with 24 points and five three-pointers in a loss to the Suns. He’ll be worth streaming until George returns, though he should still hold value after that.
CJ McCollum

WAS Guard #3

CJ McCollum tallied 17 points (6-of-13 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), three rebounds, four assists, two steals and two blocks in Monday’s loss to the Suns.

While backcourt partner Tre Johnson could not miss from downtown on Monday, making all five of his three-point attempts, McCollum was ice-cold. The veteran guard was 0-of-5 from deep, a negative for what could have been an outstanding offensive night. McCollum is providing 11th-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats, doing enough to provide consistent fantasy value.
Tre Johnson

WAS Guard #12

Tre Johnson finished Monday’s loss to the Suns with 24 points (9-of-12 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), one rebound, two assists, one steal and five three-pointers.

A double-digit scorer in six straight and seven of his last eight games, Johnson had the best night of his rookie season on Monday. The lottery pick out of Texas shot 5-of-5 from beyond the arc, finishing with his first 20-point game. He should remain in the starting lineup as long as the Wizards are without Kyshawn George, who has missed the last two games with a hip injury. The “silly season” isn’t here yet, but Johnson is worth a look in deep leagues.
