CJ McCollum McCollum posts team-high 28 points against Hawks
Sat, Dec 6, 2025, 3:29 PM
CJ McCollum tallied a team-high 28 points (9-of-17 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs) and three assists over 35 minutes in Saturday's loss to the Hawks.
Analysis: There weren't a ton of bright spots in this one for the Wizards as they fell to 3-19 on the season and dropped their second straight after a brutal 45-point loss at the hands of the Celtics earlier this week. The 34-year-old veteran remains a decent scoring threat for fantasy purposes, averaging 18.6 points through 22 games, but he doesn't add much else at this advanced juncture of his career. The Wizards are off until Friday when they face the Cavaliers before closing out the week with a road matchup against the Pacers. |

Tristan Vukcevic Tristan Vuk?evi? (knee) available Saturday vs. ATL
Sat, Dec 6, 2025, 10:40 AM
NBA Injury Report
Tristan Vuk?evi? (knee) is available for Saturday's game against the Hawks.
Analysis: With Alex Sarr (adductor) out, Vuk?evi? has played rotation minutes as Marvin Bagley's backup. While the consistent playing time has been good, Vuk?evi? has not been productive enough to merit being rostered in most fantasy leagues. |

Cam Whitmore Cam Whitmore (illness) available Saturday vs. ATL
Sat, Dec 6, 2025, 10:37 AM
NBA Injury Report
Cam Whitmore (illness) is available for Saturday's game against the Hawks.
Analysis: Whitmore will be in the Wizards' rotation on Saturday, but the role does not lend itself to fantasy managers deriving worthwhile value. Even with Khris Middleton unavailable, don't expect Whitmore's role to change too much. |

Khris Middleton Khris Middleton (knee) downgraded to out Saturday
Sat, Dec 6, 2025, 10:35 AM
NBA Injury Report
Khris Middleton (knee) is out for Saturday's game against the Hawks.
Analysis: Middleton was initially questionable for Saturday's game. His absence frees up a place in the starting lineup, with Justin Champagnie being the most likely option to fill the void. Champagnie is worthy of consideration in deep leagues but is not a must-stream player. |

Cam Whitmore Cam Whitmore (illness) questionable vs. Atlanta
Fri, Dec 5, 2025, 11:41 AM
NBA Injury Report
Cam Whitmore (illness) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Hawks.
Analysis: Whitmore's limited role off the bench hasn't resulted in much fantasy production this season. If he were to miss a game for the first time this year, Jamir Watkins and Malaki Branham would likely see a bump in minutes, though there wouldn't be a clear streaming option based on Whitmore's absence. |

Khris Middleton Khris Middleton (knee) questionable vs. Atlanta

Josh Robbins
Khris Middleton (knee) is questionable to play against the Hawks on Saturday.
Analysis: The 14th-year pro has started all 16 games he's appeared in so far in his first full season with the Wizards. He's averaging 10.4 points per game, which is the fewest since his rookie season. Should he be unable to go, Bub Carrington and Justin Champagnie could see more opportunities. |

Tristan Vukcevic Tristan Vuk?evi? (knee) questionable vs. Atlanta
Fri, Dec 5, 2025, 11:38 AM
NBA Injury Report
Tristan Vuk?evi? (knee) is questionable to play against the Hawks on Saturday.
Analysis: Vuk?evi? has taken on a larger role recently with Alex Sarr (adductor) sidelined. Sarr will remain out on Saturday, so if Vuk?evi? isn't available to play the reserve center minutes behind Marvin Bagley, Washington will likely have to utilize small-ball lineups, which could feature Anthony Gill or Justin Champagnie at center. |

Khris Middleton Khris Middleton posts 16 points, four assists
Thu, Dec 4, 2025, 3:29 PM
Khris Middleton tallied 16 points (7-of-12 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), three rebounds, four assists and one three-pointer in Thursday's loss to the Celtics.
Analysis: Due to the nature of Thursday's game, with the Wizards losing 146-101, Middleton only played 25 minutes. In a more competitive game, he likely plays more, especially with Bilal Coulibaly and Tre Johnson sidelined due to injury. Rostered in 14 percent of Yahoo! leagues, the veteran forward has been a 12th-round player over the last two weeks. That doesn't move the needle much in fantasy basketball, especially for a player who isn't playing both ends of back-to-backs. |

CJ McCollum CJ McCollum leads Wizards with 22 points Thursday
Thu, Dec 4, 2025, 3:29 PM
CJ McCollum recorded 22 points (7-of-15 FGs, 5-of-5 FTs), two rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block and three three-pointers in Thursday's loss to the Celtics.
Analysis: McCollum once again led the way offensively for the Wizards, who were on the receiving end of one of the worst beatings in franchise history. And before the NBA season reaches the point where a shutdown is a realistic possibility, the concern for McCollum manager is nights like Thursday. He still played 31 minutes against the Celtics, so all wasn't lost. But the Wizards being without multiple players capable of trimming the veteran's workload in a blowout likely ensured that McCollum surpassed 30 minutes. |

Bilal Coulibaly Bilal Coulibaly (oblique) will miss multiple weeks
Thu, Dec 4, 2025, 8:40 AM
Josh Robbins
The Athletic's Josh Robbins reports that Bilal Coulibaly âis likely to miss multiple weeksâ with an oblique injury.
Analysis: It's a brutal blow for the Wizards, since Coulibaly is their top perimeter defender. Bub Carrington and Justin Champagnie will see more minutes, but it will likely just mean more usage for guys like Kyshawn George and CJ McCollum. |

Khris Middleton Khris Middleton (knee) removed from injury report
Wed, Dec 3, 2025, 11:46 AM
NBA Injury Report
Khris Middleton (knee) is not on the injury report for Thursday's game against the Celtics.
Analysis: Middleton did not play in Tuesday's loss to the 76ers, as it was Washington's second game in as many nights. His return means Justin Champagnie will head back to the bench. While Champagnie's ceiling is lowered with the change, he'll still be in the rotation as the Wizards remain without Tre Johnson and Corey Kispert. |

Bilal Coulibaly Bilal Coulibaly (oblique) out Thursday vs. Celtics
Wed, Dec 3, 2025, 11:41 AM
Josh Robbins
Bilal Coulibaly (oblique) is out for Thursday's game against the Celtics.
Analysis: Coulibaly had just two points and was -20 in 25 minutes against the 76ers on Tuesday. The 21-year-old shooting guard is set to miss Thursday's game against the Celtics with a right oblique strain. Bub Carrington and Will Riley are candidates for more minutes in Coulibaly's absence. |

Justin Champagnie Justin Champagnie tallies 13/7/1/1/1 in spot start
Tue, Dec 2, 2025, 3:29 PM
Justin Champagnie started on Tuesday and contributed 13 points (3-of-9 FGs), seven rebounds, one assist, one steal, one block and two three-pointers against the 76ers.
Analysis: With Khris Middleton sidelined for the second night of Washington's back-to-back, Champagnie was able to get the starting nod. In just 24 minutes, Champagnie was able to turn in a full stat line and was one of seven Wizards to score in double figures. Middleton should be back to take on Boston on Thursday, but Champagnie will be a decent streaming option if he gets the chance to start in the future. |

Marvin Bagley Marvin Bagley puts up 13/8 with five blocks
Tue, Dec 2, 2025, 3:26 PM
Marvin Bagley finished with 13 points (3-of-6 FGs), eight rebounds, one assist, five blocks and one three-pointer in a 121-102 loss to the 76ers on Tuesday.
Analysis: Bagley started a second straight game with Alex Sarr (groin) sidelined once again. He wasn't able to match his 22 points from Monday's game, but he was able to match his career high of five blocks, which he initially set in his fourth NBA game in 2018. Bagley wasn't the only player to benefit from Sarr's absence; Tristan Vukcevic chipped in 16 points off the bench for a second straight game, which was enough to lead to the Wizards in scoring in this one. If Sarr remains out against the Celtics on Thursday, both Bagley and Vukcevic will have some streaming appeal. |

Justin Champagnie WAS starts CJ, Bilal, Kyshawn, Justin, Marvin
Tue, Dec 2, 2025, 12:38 PM
Washington Wizards
CJ McCollum, Bilal Coulibaly, Kyshawn George, Justin Champagnie and Marvin Bagley will start Tuesday's game against the 76ers.
Analysis: With Kyshawn George being cleared to play, there's just one change to the Wizards' starting lineup. Khris Middleton (rest) is out and will be replaced in the starting lineup by Champagnie. Cam Whitmore should also get more time off the bench, but Champagnie's ceiling is raised due to the opportunity to start. |

Khris Middleton Khris Middleton (knee) out Tuesday vs. 76ers
Tue, Dec 2, 2025, 9:32 AM
NBA Injury Report
Khris Middleton (knee) is out for Tuesday's matchup with the 76ers.
Analysis: The veteran will get the night off for maintenance as Washington plays the second leg of a back-to-back set. Washington is dealing with a number of injuries, which means Cam Whitmore could see plenty of run in this one. |

CJ McCollum CJ McCollum scores team-best 28 points vs. Bucks
Mon, Dec 1, 2025, 5:08 PM
CJ McCollum led the Wizards with 28 points (11-of-21 FGs), four rebounds, five assists, one steal and four three-pointers in a 129-126 win over the Bucks on Monday.
Analysis: McCollum hit a clutch triple to give Washington a four-point lead with 15 seconds left in this game to help the Wizards walk away victorious for the third time this year. It has come inconsistently, but McCollum has been much better offensively in recent weeks than he had been to start the year. He'll look to carry this into the Wizards' matchup with the 76ers on Tuesday. |

Tristan Vukcevic Tristan Vuk?evi? chips in 16 points off bench.
Mon, Dec 1, 2025, 5:02 PM
Tristan Vuk?evi? provided a boost off the bench with 16 points (4-of-7 FGs, 7-of-8 FTs), two rebounds, two assists, two steals and one three-pointer against the Bucks on Monday.
Analysis: Vuk?evi? has been solid off the bench lately, and he was able to play a large reserve role once again in this game with Alexandre Sarr (groin) sidelined. Sarr will remain out on Tuesday against the 76ers, so Vuk?evi? should see a bump in minutes once again. That likely isn't enough for him to be worth streaming in standard leagues, but in deeper formats, there should be intrigue, as well as in dynasty leagues. |

Marvin Bagley Marvin Bagley scores 22 points as starter
Mon, Dec 1, 2025, 5:00 PM
Marvin Bagley started on Monday and contributed 22 points (11-of-16 FGs), nine rebounds and one assist against the Bucks.
Analysis: With Alexandre Sarr sidelined with a groin injury, Bagley was able to start for the second time this season. Sarr has already been ruled out for Tuesday's game, so Bagley should be in line for another start. Currently rostered in just three percent of Yahoo! leagues, Bagley will be worth streaming if he's able to repeat this level of production as a starter once again. |

Marvin Bagley WAS starts CJ, Kyshawn, Bilal, Khris, Bagley
Mon, Dec 1, 2025, 12:46 PM
NBA Lineups
CJ McCollum, Kyshawn George, Bilal Coulibaly, Khris Middleton and Marvin Bagley will start Monday's game against the Bucks.
Analysis: The Wizards will be without starting center Alex Sarr for at least the next two games, creating an opening in the lineup. Bagley will fill the void, making him a player worth considering in deeper fantasy leagues. While Tristan Vuk?evi? may pick up additional minutes off the bench, he isn't worth rostering in most leagues. |
