Xavier Cooks AJ Dybantsa with 6 rebounds against the Hawks
Wed, Nov 4, 2026, 3:31 PM
AJ Dybantsa had 9 points (4-of-12 FGs, 1-of-4 FTs), six rebounds, and three assists on Wednesday.
Analysis: The Hawks clearly bothered him with their physicality where he missed several buckets around the rim. A lot of his recent value was coming from shooting 93% at the free throw line and he shot 1-of-4 in this game. He will have better performances than this and once he gets used to more of the NBA physicality, he's going to be a really good player. His athleticism and size allow him to do things that very few players in the league can do. |
Anthony Davis Anthony Davis with a 26/10 double-double vs Hawks
Wed, Nov 4, 2026, 3:26 PM
Anthony Davis took advantage of the Hawks size with 26 points (12-of-19 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), ten rebounds, three assists and three blocks in loss to Hawks.
Analysis: He did tweak his ankle in the first quarter which will be something to monitor if it flares up but it didn't impact him much in this game. He did He took advantage of his size over the Hawk's smaller big men and had a good game. The next game the Wizards play is against the Hawks in Atlanta, so if he's healthy, it's possible that he has a similar performance against them on Friday. |

NBA Injury Report
Bilal Coulibaly (illness) is questionable to play against the Hawks on Wednesday.
Analysis: Coulibaly is a late addition to the injury report, and while he hasn't played as much since AJ Dybantsa debuted, though he has still played a significant reserve role. If he misses this game, Tre Johnson and Will Riley would step into extra minutes off the bench. |

Washington Wizards PR
Reece Beekman (shoulder) will be re-evaluated in late November.

Analysis: Dybantsa has now scored at least 17 points in the first three games of his career. He also recorded three steals on Monday and has four steals total over his last two games. Dybantsa's minutes have increased from 27 to 30 to 33 in his first three games. While his offensive game continues to round into form, he could be a difference-maker on the defensive end given his penchant for steals. |

Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 4:00 PM
Anthony Davis had 27 points (12-of-17 FGs, 2-of-2 FTS), nine rebounds, one assist, three steals and one three-pointer in the Wizards' 103-94 victory over the Magic on Monday.
Analysis: Davis has now scored at least 25 points and at least nine rebounds in three of his last four games. The 33-year-old center had played in 71 games in the previous three seasons entering this year, but his production has been solid. While Davis' injury history casts doubt over his durability going forward, he's been a big part of the Wizards going 4-3 in the early part of the season. |

Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 1:11 PM
Magic PR
Trae Young, Kyshawn George, AJ Dybantsa, Anthony Davis and Deandre Ayton will start against the Magic on Monday.
Analysis: With Alex Sarr (ankle) sidelined, Ayton will get the starting nod at center. Ayton hasn't been productive as a reserve this season, though this starting opportunity should allow him to have a solid outing. |

Xavier Cooks AJ Dybantsa posts 17 points, eight rebounds Friday
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 3:45 PM
In his second career game, AJ Dybantsa had 17 points (5-of-11 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), eight rebounds, an assist, two steals and a three in Friday's win over the Hornets.
Analysis: AJ has made an effort to work on his defense and his off-ball ability, and it has paid off in a big way. He hasn't been nearly as ball dominant as he was in college, and the shot looks much better than it was at BYU. He's already the third best player on the team and he will continue to climb up the hierarchy. Outside of Trae, AD, and AJ tonight, it was pretty rough from the Wizards tonight despite the win. |

Anthony Davis Anthony Davis with a 25/13 double-double in win
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 3:42 PM
Anthony Davis had himself a night with 25 points (8-of-18 FGs, 9-of-10 FTs), 13 rebounds, one assist, one steal and a block in Friday's win over the Hornets.
Analysis: Anthony Davis has imposed his will on the Hornets centers in this game, and they couldn't do much to stop him. The defense on the big men was good, and he got to the line frequently. It was another great performance from AD and his value should be stable barring injury. The Wizards are winning and he's a big reason for that. If you're worried about the injuries, it might be worth exploring the market, but it's also likely everyone else is just as scared about him. |
Trae Young Trae Young with 21/7/9 in win against Hornets
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 3:38 PM
Trae Young had 21 points (4-of-9 FGs, 12-of-14 FTs), seven rebounds, nine assists, two steals, a block, a three, and four turnovers in a 95-79 win over the Hornets.
Analysis: Trae was leading the league in assists in this game, and he's done a good job orchestrating the offense and leading the Wizards to a better record than expectations to start the season. He got to the line and hit most of his free throws and was efficient tonight. The inefficiency balanced out in this one and the Wizards were able to come out with a win. Don't expect that many rebounds but its been a good year for the league assist leader. |

Anthony Davis Anthony Davis posts 18/5/3/1/2 line vs. Cavaliers
Wed, Oct 28, 2026, 4:06 PM
Anthony Davis tallied 18 points (8-of-18 FGs), five rebounds, three assists, one steal, two blocks and two three-pointers in Wednesday's loss to the Cavaliers.
Analysis: After shooting 50 percent from the field and scoring 29 points in Monday's loss to the Hornets, Davis cooled off a bit on Wednesday. Of course, it was a challenging matchup, as the Cavaliers could send either Evan Mobley or Jarrett Allen at Davis for most of the night. AD finished with a complete stat line, but it was surprising that he didn't attempt a single free throw in 34 minutes of play. |

Trae Young Trae Young dishes out eight assists vs. Cavaliers
Wed, Oct 28, 2026, 4:02 PM
Trae Young recorded 14 points (3-of-12 FGs, 7-of-7 FTs), five rebounds, eight assists and one three-pointer in Wednesday's loss to the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Young, who entered Wednesday shooting 41 percent from the field over four games, struggled with his shot against the Cavaliers. The good news for fantasy managers is that he kept the turnovers in check and posted solid rebound and assist numbers, but it would be nice to see Young snap out of his early-season funk. |

Xavier Cooks AJ Dybantsa scores 19 points in NBA debut vs. CLE
Wed, Oct 28, 2026, 3:56 PM
AJ Dybantsa accounted for 19 points (8-of-12 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), two rebounds, two assists and one three-pointer in Wednesday's loss to the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Just under two weeks after he sprained his ankle during a preseason game against the Pelicans, Dybantsa made his anticipated NBA debut on Wednesday. The Wizards rookie was ready for the moment, scoring nine points in his first stint, which spanned seven minutes. Dybantsa logged 27 minutes on the night, and he may hover around that number for a few more games. Bilal Coulibaly, who moved to the bench with AJ available, finished with 17 points, two rebounds, two steals, two blocks and one three-pointer in 27 minutes off the bench. |

Xavier Cooks AJ Dybantsa to start Wizards debut Wednesday
Wed, Oct 28, 2026, 12:27 PM
Serena Winters
Trae Young, Kyshawn George, AJ Dybantsa, Anthony Davis and Alex Sarr will start Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers.
Analysis: Cleared to make his Wizards debut after missing the first four games with a sprained ankle, Dybantsa will start. Given the time missed, fantasy managers shouldn't expect to see the rookie log major minutes immediately. Dybantsa's insertion into the starting lineup pushes Bilal Coulibaly to the bench. |
Justin Champagnie Justin Champagnie undergoes surgery on right foot
Wed, Oct 28, 2026, 8:42 AM
Joshua Robbins
Justin Champagnie underwent surgery on Wednesday to repair a fracture in his right foot.
Analysis: Champagnie had already been ruled out for Wednesday's game, but he's now on track to miss a lot more time than that. Bilal Coulibaly should be the primary reserve wing behind AJ Dybantsa when he moves into the starting unit, which could be as early as Wednesday night with him slated to make his NBA debut. |

Xavier Cooks The wait is over: Dybantsa to make debut Wednesday
Wed, Oct 28, 2026, 6:28 AM
Washington Wizards
AJ Dybantsa (ankle) will play against the Cavaliers on Wednesday.
Analysis: After missing Washington's first four games of the season, Dybantsa will finally suit up for the Wizards. Assuming the ankle responds well to playing, he should make his home debut on Friday. Washington has already played this cautiously, so don't expect Dybantsa to play 35 minutes immediately. He'll likely be on a minutes restriction, and he may even come off the bench. Eventually, he'll replace Bilal Coulibaly in the starting lineup, which could happen on Wednesday. |

Xavier Cooks AJ Dybantsa (ankle) questionable Wednesday vs. CLE
Tue, Oct 27, 2026, 10:57 AM
NBA Injury Report
AJ Dybantsa (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the Cavaliers.
Analysis: The 2026 No. 1 pick has yet to make his regular-season debut, but that could change against Cleveland. Justin Champagnie (foot) has already been ruled out, so Dybantsa's return would be a welcome sight for the Wizards. If the top pick is ultimately ruled out, Bilal Coulibaly would likely remain with the first unit. |
