Jamir Watkins

WAS Forward #5

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Jamir Watkins (foot) is off the injury report for Thursday’s game against the Magic.

Watkins is back after a four-game absence, which led to more rotation minutes for Leaky Black. Neither player is worth the risk in redraft leagues, but there should be playing time available to both due to Kyshawn George’s elbow injury.
Bub Carrington

WAS Guard #7

Bub Carrington (hip) is questionable for Thursday’s game against the Magic.

Carrington started Tuesday’s loss to the Heat, playing 36 minutes. With Trae Young absent from the injury report, Bub will come off the bench if he’s available to play against Orlando.
Tre Johnson

WAS Guard #12

Tre Johnson amassed 17 points (7-of-12 FGs, 0-of-1 FTs), two rebounds, two assists, one steal and three three-pointers in Tuesday’s loss to the Heat.

Johnson’s offensive production has picked up recently, with the rookie having scored at least 15 points in three consecutive games. He was efficient against the Heat, shooting over 50 percent from the field. Unfortunately, the overall stat line was a bit lean on Tuesday. Johnson has the potential to be an impactful option for fantasy managers over the final month, especially in points leagues, as his playing time should be a priority for the Wizards.
Will Riley

WAS Forward #27

Will Riley tallied 22 points (6-of-13 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), five rebounds, two assists, one steal and four three-pointers in Tuesday’s loss to the Heat.

Riley led the Wizards in minutes on Tuesday, and he’s scored at least 19 points in four of his last six appearances. Interestingly, the rookie was used in a reserve role in the two games before that, with Leaky Black as the starter. One would think that starting Riley would be a priority for the Wizards the rest of the season, but you never know. Hopefully, Tuesday’s performance convinces the Wizards to leave Riley in the starting five.
Alex Sarr

WAS Center #20

Alex Sarr finished Tuesday’s loss to the Heat with 28 points (12-of-19 FGs), six rebounds, one assist, two blocks and four three-pointers.

The Wizards are still limiting Sarr’s playing time, but he made the most of his 20 minutes on Tuesday. The 28 points are the most in a game for the second-year center since putting up 29 in a January 27 win over the Trail Blazers, and three shy of his season-high. However, as encouraging as this performance was, Sarr’s playing time is a concern for fantasy managers the rest of the season. And with the front office wanting to strengthen its draft lottery odds, there isn’t much incentive to play Sarr heavy minutes.
Will Riley

WAS Forward #27

Bub Carrington, Tre Johnson, Will Riley, Bilal Coulibaly and Alex Sarr will start against the Heat on Tuesday.

Riley will return to the starting unit after coming off the bench the last two games. Leaky Black started on Sunday, but he will be in the G League and unavailable for this game. Carrington returns to the starting unit with Trae Young (knee) sitting this one out.
Jamir Watkins

WAS Forward #5

Jamir Watkins (foot) is out for Tuesday’s game against the Heat.

Watkins’ continued absence means there will be a spot in the rotation for Leaky Black, who started and played 31 minutes in Sunday’s loss to the Pelicans. While he isn’t a must-add player, Black is worth watching due to his recent workload.
Tristan Vukcevic

WAS Forward #00

Tristan Vukčević (thigh) is not on the injury report for Tuesday’s game against the Heat.

After a four-game absence, Vukčević will be available for Tuesday’s game. His return likely means less playing time for Julian Reese, who played 26 minutes off the bench in Sunday’s loss to the Pelicans.
Trae Young

WAS Guard #3

Trae Young had 17 points (4-of-6 FGs, 6-of-8 FTs), four rebounds, eight assists and three three-pointers in Sunday’s loss to the Pelicans.

Young only played 18 minutes in his second game with the Wizards after playing 19 minutes in his debut on Thursday. While the 27-year-old point guard was productive with 17 points and eight assists, the key to him regaining a fantasy ceiling is playing more minutes. As it currently stands, Young is difficult to trust down the stretch of the fantasy season.
Alex Sarr

WAS Center #20

Trae Young, Tre Johnson, Bilal Coulibaly, Leaky Black and Alex Sarr will start Sunday’s game against the Pelicans.

The lone change to the Wizards’ starting lineup is a big one, as Sarr returns from a hamstring injury that sidelined him for nearly one month. His return means that Julian Reese heads to the bench, a role that limits the rookie’s fantasy value.
