Bilal Coulibaly shot 5-of-9 from the field and 4-of-8 from the foul line in Saturday’s loss to the Bulls, accounting for 15 points, eight rebounds, two assists, one steal, and one 3-pointer in 30 minutes.
Coulibaly has reached double figures in his last five games, with Saturday’s point total being the most for him since February 9 (21 vs. Boston). Rostered in 25% of Yahoo leagues, the lottery pick from France has provided 10th-round per-game value in 9-cat formats over the past week. Coulibaly has not been good enough to merit being rostered in standard leagues, especially with the Wizards playing three games in Week 21. However, he’s worth watching, especially with the Wizards having every incentive to give Coulibaly all the playing time he can handle.
