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. |

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. |

NBA Injury Report
Tristan Vuk?evi? (back) has been ruled out against the Jazz on Wednesday.

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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 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.

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. |

Bilal Coulibaly Bilal Coulibaly leads Wizards with 21 points
Sat, Mar 21, 2026, 1:59 PM
Bilal Coulibaly amassed 21 points (8-of-15 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, four assists, one steal, two blocks and three three-pointers in Saturday's loss to the Thunder.
Analysis: Coulibaly has scored at least 21 points in three of his last four outings, and he's reached double figures in five straight. Regarding all-around value, Saturday's performance was one of his best this season. Fantasy managers will hope that Coulibaly is made available for Sunday's game against the Knicks, the last of a five-game week for the Wizards. |

Sat, Mar 21, 2026, 12:31 PM
Justin Champagnie was ejected from Saturday's game against the Thunder during the second quarter.
Analysis: Champagnie and Oklahoma City's Jaylin Williams got into an altercation late in the second quarter, which would eventually involve players from both teams. In addition to those two, Oklahoma City's Ajay Mitchell and Cason Wallace were ejected for escalating the altercation. With the action spilling into the stands, it's possible that the NBA hands out a few suspensions in the coming days. |

NBA Lineups
Bub Carrington, Bilal Coulibaly, Will Riley, Justin Champgnie and Alex Sarr will start Saturday's game against the Thunder.
Analysis: The Wizards will not have Tre Johnson for Saturday's game, as he is out with a foot injury. Coulibaly replaces him in the lineup after a one-game absence, while Champagnie's inclusion comes at Sharife Cooper's expense. |

Trae Young Trae Young (quad, back) out indefinitely
Sat, Mar 21, 2026, 5:06 AM
Trae Young (quad, back) has no timetable to return.
Analysis: The Wizards released an injury update on Young, who sustained a right quad contusion Monday against the Warriors. The 27-year-old point guard is also said to be dealing with lower back irritation. Young had already been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Thunder and is currently without a timetable to return to game action. Bub Carrington should continue to start for the Wizards for the foreseeable future. |

Trae Young Trae Young (quad) ruled out vs. Oklahoma City
Fri, Mar 20, 2026, 10:51 AM
NBA Injury Report
Trae Young (quad) is out for Saturday's game against the Thunder.
Analysis: Saturday's game will be the third that Young has missed since suffering a quad contusion during Monday's loss to the Warriors. Bub Carrington should remain in the starting lineup, and he is worth rostering while Young is out. |

Leaky Black Leaky Black (ankle) remains out vs. Oklahoma City
Fri, Mar 20, 2026, 10:48 AM
NBA Injury Report
Leaky Black (ankle) is out for Saturday's game against the Thunder.
Analysis: Black will miss a fifth consecutive game on Saturday. While the continued absence does not affect his fantasy value, as Black should not be rostered, more minutes have been available to Jamir Watkins off the bench. |

Tristan Vukcevic Tristan Vuk?evi? scores team-high 21 points
Thu, Mar 19, 2026, 3:39 PM
Tristan Vuk?evi? finished Thursday's loss to the Pistons with 21 points (7-of-8 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), four rebounds, one assist, one block and three three-pointers.
Analysis: While coming off the bench limits Vuk?evi?'s fantasy upside, he's scored in double figures in four of his last five appearances. And the third-year center has two 20-point games during this stretch, including Thursday's loss to the Pistons. Vuk?evi? made all three of his three-point attempts and missed just one shot from the field overall in his 18 minutes. Starter Alex Sarr (two points, three rebounds, two assists and two blocks) played 21 minutes and shot 1-of-12 from the field. If there comes a point when the Wizards shut down Sarr, Vuk?evi? could benefit. |

Bilal Coulibaly Coulibaly (heel) remains out vs. Detroit
Thu, Mar 19, 2026, 10:07 AM
NBA Injury Report
Bilal Coulibaly (heel) has been ruled out against the Pistons on Thursday.
Analysis: Coulibaly will remain sidelined for a second straight game with this heel injury. Originally, it was just the second leg of a back-to-back, but another absence is more concerning. Justin Champagnie should be in line for another start. |
