Justin Champagnie Justin Champagnie totals 18 points in loss to LAL
Mon, Mar 30, 2026, 6:39 PM
Justin Champagnie produced 18 points (8-of-12 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), four rebounds, two assists, one steal and one three-pointer in the loss to the Lakers on Monday.
Analysis: Champagnie's offensive impact and production were among the few things that went right for the Wizards in Los Angeles. He shot that ball well in his time on the floor and finished second on the team in scoring. Additionally, Champagnie was one of two Wizards players to record a positive plus-minus. He's performed fairly consistently throughout the year and has a chance to end his fifth NBA season with some momentum. |

Justin Champagnie Justin, Bub, Tre, Will, Tristan to start vs. LAL
Mon, Mar 30, 2026, 3:39 PM
NBA Starting Lineups
Justin Champagnie, Bub Carrington, Tristan Vukcevic, Tre Johnson and Will Riley will start against the Lakers on Monday.
Analysis: Champagnie and Riley will get the start as the Wizards deal with injuries on Monday. They will also face a short-handed Lakers team without Luka Don?i? (suspension). Washington has lost two straight games and has one of the league's worst records. Still, players such as Carrington and Johnson could be contributors for fantasy managers. |

Anthony Gill Anthony Gill (ankle) available Monday vs. Lakers
Mon, Mar 30, 2026, 3:08 PM
NBA Injury Report
Anthony Gill is available to play on Monday against the Lakers.
Analysis: Gill's status was upgraded to available ahead of Monday's contest after previously being listed as questionable with an ankle injury. The sixth-year center has played well recently, posting double-digit scoring performances in three of his last five games. He'll have a chance to put forth another high-scoring performance against the Lakers. |

Bilal Coulibaly Bilal Coulibaly (heel) downgraded to out vs. LAL
Mon, Mar 30, 2026, 3:04 PM
NBA Injury Report
Bilal Coulibaly (heel) is out for Monday's game against the Lakers.
Analysis: Coulibaly's heel injury will keep him out of Monday's game, opening a spot in the starting lineup. With Leaky Black inactive, Will Riley may move into the starting lineup, which would raise his fantasy ceiling. |

Bilal Coulibaly Bilal Coulibaly, Anthony Gill questionable Monday
Mon, Mar 30, 2026, 10:00 AM
NBA Injury Report
Bilal Coulibaly (heel) and Anthony Gill (ankle) are questionable for Monday's matchup with the Lakers.
Analysis: Coulibaly has been dealing with a recurring heel injury, and it could keep him out for Monday's road tilt at crypto.com Arena. If Coulibaly is forced to miss this one, Will Riley and Tre Johnson could earn some additional playing time. Gill's availability is not impactful in the world of fantasy basketball, as Alex Sarr and Tristan Vuk?evi? are both healthy. |

Sun, Mar 29, 2026, 8:35 AM
NBA Injury Report
Bilal Coulibaly (heel) and Leaky Black (adductor) are available for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Coulibaly and Black are all set to play after being listed as questionable on the initial injury report. Both were in the starting lineup for Friday's loss to the Warriors, and that should remain the case on Sunday. |

Bilal Coulibaly Bilal Coulbaly, Leaky Black questionable vs. POR
Sat, Mar 28, 2026, 3:28 PM
NBA Injury Report
Bilal Coulibaly (heel) and Leaky Black (adductor) are questionable for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Coulibaly and Black started Friday's loss to the Warriors, but the former was limited to 19 minutes. With Tre Johnson out, Black could be asked to log heavy minutes once again if allowed to play. If both players sit, Will Riley and Justin Champagnie will receive boosts to their respective fantasy values. |

Bilal Coulibaly Coulibaly scores 21 points in 19 minutes
Fri, Mar 27, 2026, 7:12 PM
Bilal Coulibaly lit up the Warriors with 21 points (8-of-16 FGs), six rebounds, two assists, one block and four three-pointers on Friday.
Analysis: Coulibaly had a strong scoring effort in this game, though he was limited to 19 minutes and didn't play the final 18 minutes of this game. He has certainly shown some scoring prowess in recent weeks, though his minutes have been limited as Washington continues to prioritize improved lottery odds. Coulibaly should be an intriguing option in fantasy drafts next season, but his impact for the rest of this year will be limited. |

Leaky Black Leaky Black posts 11/7/3/3/3 stat line vs. Utah
Wed, Mar 25, 2026, 5:35 PM
Leaky Black tallied 11 points (4-of-6 FGs), seven rebounds, three assists, three steals, three blocks and three three-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Jazz.
Analysis: Black may not have done much scoring on Wednesday, but the overall line would have category league managers salivating if recorded by a more established player. In six prior appearances this season, he totaled three steals and four blocks. Against the Jazz, Black was responsible for three steals and three blocks while also recording seven rebounds, three assists and three three-pointers. Since Black is not guaranteed to be active every night as a two-way contract player, he should not be rostered in redraft leagues. |

Jaden Hardy Jaden Hardy hits five triples, scores 21 points
Wed, Mar 25, 2026, 5:35 PM
Jaden Hardy notched 21 points (8-of-18 FGs, 0-of-2 FTs), two rebounds and five three-pointers in Wednesday's win over the Jazz.
Analysis: Hardy has reached double figures in each of his last five games, putting up 20 or more in the last two. While he doesn't do enough in the other categories to be worth the risk in most category leagues, there could be some value gained in deep points leagues. However, Hardy is not a must-add player by any means since he is still coming off the bench. |

Bilal Coulibaly Bilal Coulibaly (heel) available vs. Utah
Wed, Mar 25, 2026, 8:45 AM
NBA Injury Report
Bilal Coulibaly (heel) is available to play against the Jazz on Wednesday.
Analysis: Coulibaly will be good to go despite initially being listed as questionable. He has averaged 19.2 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.4 steals, 1.4 blocks and 2.6 triples per game over his last five appearances and will look to stay hot in this one. |

Tristan Vukcevic Tristan Vuk?evi? (back) downgraded to out vs. Utah
Wed, Mar 25, 2026, 8:42 AM
NBA Injury Report
Tristan Vuk?evi? (back) has been ruled out against the Jazz on Wednesday.
Analysis: Vuk?evi? has been downgraded after initially being listed as questionable. He exited early from Sunday's game, and the back injury will keep him sidelined for this outing. With Alex Sarr (toe) also out, Anthony Gill should get the starting nod at center. |

Tristan Vukcevic Tristan Vuk?evi? (back) questionable vs. Utah
Tue, Mar 24, 2026, 2:10 PM
NBA Injury Report
Tristan Vuk?evi? (back) is questionable to play against the Jazz on Wednesday.
Analysis: Vuk?evi? exited early on Sunday, and there is a chance he remains out against Utah. If he plays, he'll start at center with Alex Sarr (toe) still out. If not, Anthony Gill should start at center in a small lineup. |

Bilal Coulibaly Bilal Coulibaly (heel) questionable vs. Utah
Tue, Mar 24, 2026, 1:45 PM
NBA Injury Report
Bilal Coulibaly (heel) is questionable to play against the Jazz on Wednesday.
Analysis: Coulibaly has played through the heel injury during their last two games, but he missed the two games prior to that. He has been effective when available, but against a fellow tanking team, there is a good chance Justin Champagnie ends up getting the start in place of Coulibaly. |

Jaden Hardy Jaden Hardy scores team-high 25 points vs. NYK
Sun, Mar 22, 2026, 3:58 PM
Jaden Hardy tallied 25 points (9-of-18 FGs), three rebounds, one assist and seven three-pointers in Sunday's loss to the Knicks.
Analysis: Due to the many absences from the Wizards' rotation, Hardy was given more room to contribute offensively on Sunday. A double-digit scorer in four straight and seven of his last eight appearances, the 25 points are a new season-high for the fourth-year guard. While Hardy has been on a good run recently, his opportunities aren't a priority compared to Will Riley (11/1/4 with one three-pointer) or, when healthy, Tre Johnson. Redraft league managers should leave Hardy on the waiver wire. |

Tristan Vukcevic Tristan Vuk?evi? (back) will not return vs. NYK
Sun, Mar 22, 2026, 3:38 PM
Washington Wizards
Tristan Vuk?evi? (back) will not return to Sunday's game against the Knicks.
Analysis: Vuk?evi?, who started Sunday's game for Alex Sarr, experienced tightness in his lower back during the second half and will not return. He played 15 minutes, finishing with 13 points, one rebound, one assist and three three-pointers. Anthony Gill has stepped in to take over the center responsibilities for the rest of the night. |

Tristan Vukcevic WAS starts Bub, Riley, Bilal, Watkins, Vuk?evi?
Sun, Mar 22, 2026, 1:11 PM
NBA Lineups
Bub Carrington, Will Riley, Bilal Coulibaly, Jamir Watkins and Tristan Vuk?evi? will start Sunday's game against the Knicks.
Analysis: The Wizards won't have Alex Sarr or Justin Champagnie for Sunday's game, with the latter serving a one-game suspension after his ejection from Saturday's loss to the Thunder for fighting. Watkins and Vuk?evi? move into the starting lineup, with the latter offering a little more streaming upside. |

Leaky Black Leaky Black (ankle) upgraded to available vs. NYK
Sun, Mar 22, 2026, 12:05 PM
NBA Injury Report
Leaky Black (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Knicks.
Analysis: Initially ruled out for Sunday's game, Black is now available. While it's unknown what changed since he was never listed as questionable, Justin Champagnie's one-game suspension could have been a factor. There isn't much to gain from rostering Black, but he should play rotation minutes. |

Justin Champagnie Justin Champagnie handed one-game suspension
Sun, Mar 22, 2026, 7:42 AM
NBA Communications
Justin Champagnie was suspended one game for his role in a second-quarter altercation during Saturday's game against the Thunder.
Analysis: Champagnie got into it with Oklahoma City's Jaylin Williams during the second quarter of Saturday's game, sparking an altercation that led to those two being ejected, along with Oklahoma City's Ajay Mitchell and Cason Wallace. Champagnie will serve his one-game suspension on Sunday, which could lead to Jamir Watkins moving into the starting lineup. Also, Washington's Anthony Gill was fined $35,000 for his role in the fight. |

Leaky Black Leaky Black (ankle) ruled out vs. New York
Sun, Mar 22, 2026, 6:47 AM
NBA Injury Report
Leaky Black (ankle) is out for Sunday's game against the Knicks.
Analysis: Sunday's game will be the sixth that Black has missed due to a sprained left ankle. His absence alone does not affect fantasy basketball, but it has freed up additional minutes for Jamir Watkins and Jaden Hardy off the bench. |
