Jerome

Robinson

A first-round pick of the Clippers in 2018, Robinson camped with the Warriors last fall but was cut before the start of the season. Spending last season with the Warriors’ G League affiliate, Robinson appeared in 24 games and averaged 14.8 points, 4.3 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 0.9 steals, and 1.8 3-pointers in 29.2 minutes. While he will get the opportunity to compete for a roster spot, Robinson is highly unlikely to impact fantasy basketball next season.

Neither player was going to see the floor often enough to be rostered in fantasy hoops. This won’t have an impact in any league, no matter the format.

Robinson spent last season with the Warriors G League affiliate in Santa Cruz, but he’ll be competing for a spot on the regular season roster at training camp. Even if the former lottery pick makes the team, he’ll have a negligible role in the rotation.

It was only three years ago that Robinson was a lottery selection for the Clippers, but after fizzling out in Los Angeles, he has now continued the trend in D.C. He might be able to find another minimum-level deal elsewhere, but he’s safe to ignore in fantasy hoops.

Beal has missed four straight games with the injury, though at least he’s being called ‘questionable’. Ideally, we’ll have some clarity after Monday’s shootaround so that managers with weekly lineups can lock him in or out with confidence. If not, he could be headed for a game-time decision. Raul Neto and Jerome Robinson stand to benefit with added minutes and touches if he’s out again.

Robinson was in the starting lineup Friday, but struggled and played just nine minutes as a result. Saturday night, he didn’t even see the court.

Mathews will be the one tasked with filling the void left by the injured Bradley Beal, as his return to the starting lineup drops Jerome Robinson to the bench. Robinson played just nine minutes despite starting Washington’s loss to the Pistons, which may be a sign that he won’t offer much in the way of fantasy value coming off the bench. Fantasy managers can leave Robinson on the waiver wire.

This will be the third straight game on the sidelines for Beal, so he must really be hurting with that hip issue. Jerome Robinson will be getting another start tonight, although he hasn’t done much over the past two games, so he’s not all that attractive in DFS. Russell Westbrook will continue to post monster stat lines with Beal on the sidelines.

The Wizards are playing the second half of a back-to-back set, so we may not get a shootaround update. Beal exited Saturday’s game and didn’t return, so his absence on Monday wasn’t just a precaution in the first half of a back-to-back set. If he’s out again, Russell Westbrook should have another monster performance while guys like Jerome Robinson, Raul Neto and Chandler Hutchison help pick up the slack.

Robinson will start for the fourth time this season alongside Russell Westbrook, Deni Avdija, Rui Hachimura, and Alex Len on Monday. In 14 appearances this season, he’s averaging 4.9 points, 2.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists, and 0.6 steals. Those numbers will rise a bit as a starter and he might be an OK streaming choice for 3-pointers.
