Rotoworld Player News

Alex Sarr

WAS Center #20

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Alex Sarr finished Thursday’s loss to the Magic with 16 points (6-of-12 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), four rebounds, two steals, five blocks and one three-pointer.

Like Trae Young, Sarr’s playing time has been limited, with the second-year center logging 23 minutes on Thursday. However, that’s all the time he needed to record two steals and five blocked shots, excellent production for category league managers. The Wizards play once more in Week 20, and they begin Week 21 with a back-to-back, which is a concern for Sarr managers.
Trae Young

WAS Guard #3

Trae Young accounted for 15 points (5-of-7 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), three rebounds, six assists and two three-pointers in Thursday’s loss to the Magic.

Young played 21 minutes on Thursday, finishing with solid numbers in points and assists. While the minutes limit does the point guard no favors in terms of fantasy value, getting some production from Young is better than not having him on the floor at all. The Wizards end their week with a game against the Celtics on Saturday, another challenging matchup for Young and his new team.
Bilal Coulibaly

WAS Guard #0

Bilal Coulibaly tallied 29 points (9-of-21 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), five rebounds, five assists, one steal, one block and five three-pointers in Thursday’s loss to the Magic.

One game removed from being on the wrong end of a historic performance by Miami’s Bam Adebayo, the Wizards bounced back with a solid effort in Orlando. Coulibaly, whose banked-in three-pointer with five seconds remaining in regulation sent the game into overtime, led the way. His 29 points were a career-high, with the Wizards’ wing recording a complete stat line. Scoring hasn’t been Coulibaly’s best attribute, so fantasy managers should not expect Thursday’s effort to become the norm. However, there should be more room for him to put up numbers as the Wizards close out their season.
Bub Carrington

WAS Guard #7

Bub Carrington (hip) will play in Thursday’s game against the Magic

Carrington had been questionable despite playing 36 minutes against the Heat on Tuesday, but the 20-year-old will be able to suit up after all. However, with Trae Young (knee) not on the injury report, Carrington will head back to the bench, where he’ll play around 20-23 minutes.
Jamir Watkins

WAS Forward #5

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.
