Marvin Bagley Marvin Bagley (back) removed from injury report
Sat, Jan 31, 2026, 11:17 AM
NBA Injury Report
Marvin Bagley (back) is not on the injury report for Sunday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: Bagley is back after having missed Washington's last five games. His return may push Anthony Gill out of the rotation, but that isn't guaranteed. Alex Sarr (calf) is questionable for Sunday's game, so there may be a need for Bagley and Gill to contribute. |

Malaki Branham Branham scores team-high 17 points off bench
Fri, Jan 30, 2026, 3:24 PM
Malaki Branham led the Wizards with 17 points (6-of-9 FGs), one rebound and four three-pointers on Friday against the Lakers.
Analysis: Most of Branham's points came during garbage time, but he was able to lead Washington in scoring in this game. As has been the case for the entirety of his career, he has the ability to be an electric scorer, but he wasn't able to contribute much else statistically. The 17 points were a new season high, which was great to see, but he should be left on the waiver wire. |

Khris Middleton Khris Middleton (knee) out Friday vs. Lakers
Fri, Jan 30, 2026, 6:40 AM
NBA Injury Report
Khris Middleton (knee) is out for Friday's game against the Lakers.
Analysis: Friday's game is the second in as many nights for the Wizards, who beat the Bucks on Thursday. So, it's unsurprising that Middleton won't be available. Will Riley was the replacement for the most recent game that the veteran forward missed, and that may also be the case on Friday. Riley isn't a must-stream, but he is worth watching ahead of the post-trade deadline portion of the schedule. |

Marvin Bagley Marvin Bagley (back) ruled out Friday vs. Lakers
Fri, Jan 30, 2026, 6:33 AM
NBA Injury Report
Marvin Bagley (back) is out for Friday's game against the Lakers.
Analysis: Friday's game will be the fifth that Bagley has missed with a thoracic strain. Alex Sarr is absent from the injury report, so he'll log heavy minutes as the starter. |

Bilal Coulibaly Bilal Coulibaly posts 10 rebounds, four âstocks'
Thu, Jan 29, 2026, 3:46 PM
Bilal Coulibaly amassed eight points (3-of-6 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 10 rebounds, one assist, two steals and two blocks in Thursday's win over the Bucks.
Analysis: Coulibaly did not provide much offensively in Thursday's victory, but category managers will likely be pleased with the rebounds and defensive stats. Despite averaging six points per game, he has been a top-25 player over the past two weeks in eight-cat formats because of the rebounds, steals and blocks. Coulibaly's fantasy upside may be a bit limited due to his lack of scoring, but there's certainly value in rostering him. |

Marvin Bagley Marvin Bagley (back) out Thursday vs. Milwaukee
Wed, Jan 28, 2026, 10:52 AM
NBA Injury Report
Marvin Bagley (back) is out for Thursday's game against the Nuggets.
Analysis: Bagley will miss a fourth consecutive game as he continues to deal with a thoracic strain. With starter Alex Sarr (illness) listed as questionable, the Wizards could be left to rely on Anthony Gill and Skal Labissiere against the Bucks. |

Bilal Coulibaly Coulibaly (back) held to five points in return
Tue, Jan 27, 2026, 4:08 PM
Bilal Coulibaly returned to the lineup on Tuesday and finished with five points (1-of-2 FGs), five rebounds, six assists, two steals, two blocks and one three-pointer against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Coulibaly missed the last five games for the Wizards, and he returned to the starting lineup in his first game back. He logged 28 minutes and contributed solid value across the board, scoring aside. He only took two shots, so it isn't that he struggled; he simply wasn't aggressive on offense. That isn't concerning, especially since he was able to produce in other categories. He'll look to keep it going against the Bucks on Thursday. |

Khris Middleton Khris Middleton (foot) available vs. Portland
Tue, Jan 27, 2026, 11:52 AM
NBA Injury Report
Khris Middleton (foot) is available to play against the Trail Blazers on Tuesday.
Analysis: Middleton missed Saturday's game against Charlotte, which allowed Will Riley to start in his place and log 23 minutes. Middleton will be back, which will push Riley back to the bench, eliminating the streaming value he held. |

Tue, Jan 27, 2026, 5:52 AM
NBA Injury Report
Bilal Coulibaly (back) is available for Tuesday's matchup with the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Coulibaly will return following a five-game absence, which could result in Bub Carrington moving to the bench. Even if he's not running with the first unit, Carrington has played well enough as of late to see significant minutes off the bench. |

Tristan Vukcevic Tristan Vuk?evi? (hamstring) out Tuesday vs. POR
Mon, Jan 26, 2026, 11:09 AM
NBA Injury Report
Tristan Vuk?evi? (hamstring) is out for Tuesday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Tuesday's game will be the sixth that Vuk?evi? has missed due to a strained left hamstring. While his absence does not affect fantasy basketball, it does leave the Wizards down two bigs since Marvin Bagley III (back) is also out. Anthony Gill played seven minutes in Saturday's loss to the Hornets. He is not worth streaming. |

Khris Middleton Khris Middleton (foot) questionable Tuesday
Mon, Jan 26, 2026, 11:06 AM
NBA Injury Report
Khris Middleton (foot) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Middleton sat out Saturday's loss to the Hornets with a sore left foot, with rookie Will Riley playing 23 minutes as his replacement in the starting lineup. While Riley should have value during the silly season, Justin Champagnie is the preferred streamer if Middleton remains out. Despite coming off the bench, Champagnie logged 32 minutes on Saturday. |

Mon, Jan 26, 2026, 11:02 AM
NBA Injury Report

Analysis: Coulibaly has missed Washington's last five games with a lower back strain, resulting in Bub Carrington moving into the starting lineup. While he may be pushed back to the bench if Coulibaly returns on Tuesday, Carrington will still play plenty. |

Mon, Jan 26, 2026, 10:59 AM
NBA Injury Report
Marvin Bagley III (back) is out for Tuesday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Tuesday's game is the third straight that Bagley has missed, with the last two being due to a strained lower back. With Tristan Vuk?evi? (hamstring) also out, Anthony Gill may pick up a few rotation minutes off the bench. He is not worth streaming. |

Justin Champagnie Justin Champagnie has 15/11/3 line in loss
Sat, Jan 24, 2026, 8:31 AM
Justin Champagnie had 15 points (7-of-9 FGs), 11 rebounds, three assists, three steals, two blocks and one three-pointer in Saturday's loss to the Hornets.
Analysis: Khris Middleton missed Saturday's game with a foot injury with Will Riley replacing him in the starting lineup. Champagnie outplayed Riley, though, and ended up playing more minutes off the bench. The 24-year-old shooting guard had a double-double with 15 points and 11 rebounds in 32 minutes. Champagnie has provided eighth-round per game value over the last two weeks, showing he has some fantasy value in the sixth man role with the Wizards. |

Khris Middleton (foot) is out for Saturday's game against the Hornets.
Analysis: Middleton was listed as questionable initially, but has since been ruled out with left foot soreness. In his absence, Justin Champagnie could slide into the starting lineup with Will Riley picking up rotation minutes off the bench. |

Fri, Jan 23, 2026, 11:08 AM
NBA Injury Report
Tristan Vuk?evi? (hamstring) has been ruled out against the Hornets on Saturday.
Analysis: This will be a fifth straight absence for Vuk?evi?, but that typically doesn't impact Washington's rotation. However, with Marvin Bagley also sidelined, Vuk?evi? would've filled the backup minutes if available. That role will now fall to Anthony Gill. |

Fri, Jan 23, 2026, 11:04 AM
NBA Injury Report
Marvin Bagley (back) has been ruled out against the Hornets on Saturday.
Analysis: This will be a second straight absence for Bagley, though the first one was due to an illness. Tristan Vuk?evi? (hamstring) is also out, so Anthony Gill will fill out the backup center minutes. Gill isn't worth streaming. |

Fri, Jan 23, 2026, 10:59 AM
NBA Injury Report
Khris Middleton (foot) is questionable to play against the Hornets on Saturday.
Analysis: Middleton had previously been dealing with a knee injury, but now it is a foot issue that is giving him trouble. If he isn't available against Charlotte, Justin Champagnie would likely slide into the starting lineup, with Will Riley taking on extra minutes off the bench. |

Fri, Jan 23, 2026, 10:53 AM
NBA Injury Report
Bilal Coulibaly (back) has been ruled out against the Hornets on Saturday.
Analysis: Coulibaly will miss a fifth straight game, and he has immediately been ruled out instead of being listed as questionable at first, which can be a sign that a player could be a little further away from returning. Bub Carrington should continue to start in his stead. |

Marvin Bagley Bagley downgraded to out on Thursday
Thu, Jan 22, 2026, 8:39 AM
NBA.com
Marvin Bagley III (illness) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Nuggets.
Analysis: Bagley and Tristan Vukcevic are both out on Thursday, which means the Wizards don't have a true backup center. Then again, it might not matter on Thursday since the Nuggets are also without their only two centers. Jamir Watkins could see minutes as the backup big man, and Khris Middleton could also spend extra time at power forward or as the big man in smaller lineups. |
