Justin

Champagnie

Kuzma has been sidelined for over a month, but he should be back for this game, barring some sort of mistake with the injury report. Justin Champagnie had a fantastic game against New York on Saturday, but he will likely be pushed to the bench with Kuzma back.

Champagnie, who grew up in Brooklyn, put on a show against the Knicks on Saturday. He only missed two shots, and things could have gotten worse for New York. Washington went away from Champagnie offensively late in regulation, and the Knicks leaned on Jalen Brunson in overtime to take the win. Rostered in 15% of Yahoo leagues, Champagnie has provided top 40 value since December 1. He’ll have value as long as the Wizards keep Kyle Kuzma out of the lineup.

It has been about a month since Kuz last suited up, and he will remain sidelined this weekend. Justin Champagnie should continue to start in his place, where he has been a top-100 player over the last two weeks.

Kuzma, who has not appeared in a game since November 27, remains without a timeline for return. That spot in the starting lineup should remain Justin Champagnie’s until Kuzma returns, and he’s worth streaming in deep leagues.

Kuzma has not appeared in a game since November 27 and does not have a timeline for return. Justin Champagnie, who’s rostered in 23% of Yahoo leagues, should remain in the starting lineup. He’s worth having until Kuzma is cleared to play, especially with Bilal Coulibaly questionable for Monday’s game.

While Kuzma was a limited participant in Wednesday’s practice, he still isn’t at the point where he can physically perform in games. Justin Champagnie should remain in the starting lineup until that changes, and he is worth streaming in deep leagues.

Kuzma has missed Washington’s last six games with his rib injury, and Sunday pushes that number to seven. Justin Champagnie has been the fill-in, and he is worth streaming until Kuzma returns due to the Wizards’ many injuries on the wing.

Sarr missed the first two games of his career on Saturday and Sunday, but he’ll be back in the lineup after getting almost a full week off. His return will likely push Justin Champagnie out of the starting unit after he had 14 points, eight rebounds and five steals in their last game.

Champagnie made his first start of the season on Saturday, stepping in for the injured Alexandre Sarr. And the two-way contract player was excellent, impacting the action on both ends of the floor. Depending on who’s available for Sunday’s game against the Grizzlies, Champagnie may be worth a roll of the dice in deep leagues.

Avdija exited early from their last game, while Richaun Holmes has missed their last four. If Avdija remains out, Justin Champagnie should start in his place after he started the second half on Wednesday. If Holmes remains out, Tristan Vukcevic will start once again. Davis’ availability will not impact fantasy basketball.
