Kyle Kuzma logged 37 minutes in Tuesday’s 123-112 loss to Golden State, finishing with 27 points (12-of-21 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 12 rebounds, two assists, one block, and one 3-pointer.
Kuzma posted his 11th double-double of the season on Tuesday, three fewer than his total during the 2022-23 campaign. The negative for him was the turnover count, as he was responsible for six. That category has been problematic for Kuzma, who has provided 12th-round per-game value in 9-cat formats over the past two weeks. Punt the turnovers, and he’s a 7th-round player. There is a three-round difference in Kuzma’s fantasy value for the season when comparing 8- and 9-cat formats. He’ll head back to where his NBA career began on Thursday as the Wizards start their road trip with a game against the Lakers.
