Wizards' Deni Avdija: Productive in defeat
Avdija supplied 22 points (9-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, five assists and two steals in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 139-120 loss to the Magic.
Although the Wizards struggled to keep up on the scoreboard Wednesday, Avdija was efficient from the floor and matched his highest scoring total of the season while also racking up multiple steals for the first time since Nov. 15. He's scored in double figures in five of his last eight outings and has averaged 12.8 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 26.8 minutes per game during that time.

Wizards' Jordan Poole: Improved performance Wednesday
Poole posted 19 points (5-12 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 139-120 loss to the Magic.
Poole delivered an improved effort Wednesday, a welcome sight for anyone rostering him. To say it's been a disappointing season would be an understatement. With an ADP in the fourth round of many drafts, he currently sits just outside the top 200 in nine-category formats. His upside is too high for him to be dropped, so managers simply need to hold and hope that this performance leads to increased production.

Wizards' Anthony Gill: Used sparingly in loss
Gill chipped in zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and one rebound over five minutes during Wednesday's 139-120 loss to the Magic.
Gill played just five minutes in the loss, continuing his disappointing season. He has eclipsed 10 minutes only once thus far, offering nothing in terms of production. Even in deeper formats, there are likely much better options available.

Wizards' Tyus Jones: Continues to struggle
Jones closed with seven points (3-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists and two steals in 21 minutes during Wednesday's 139-120 loss to the Magic.
Jones came up short again Wednesday and has now scored a total of just 23 points across his past three games, adding 12 assists and two steals. Despite starting, his playing time has been up and down all season, making his fantasy value very hard to trust. He remains a roster-able player, albeit one with limited upside.

Wizards' Patrick Baldwin: Back with NBA team
The Wizards recalled Baldwin from the G League's Capital City Go-Go on Wednesday.
Baldwin will be available for Wednesday's game against the Magic but is unlikely to be featured in the rotation. The second-year forward has appeared in just three of the Wizards' first 17 regular-season contests, playing no more than six minutes in any of those contests.

Wizards' Ryan Rollins: Won't play Wednesday
Rollins (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup against the Magic.
Rollins will miss a fifth straight game. His absence hasn't impacted the Wizards' game plan, as he's a fringe rotation player.

Wizards' Landry Shamet: Plays well in 22 minutes
Shamet amassed 12 points (4-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals over 22 minutes during Monday's 126-107 victory over the Pistons.
Jordan Poole returned from a one-game absence due to an ankle injury, but he couldn't get much going. Meanwhile, Shamet had one of his best games of the season, scoring in double figures for the third game in a row. During that stretch, Shamet averaged 13.0 points, 2.0 assists, 1.7 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 2.3 three-pointers.

Wizards' Deni Avdija: Produces well-rounded line Monday
Avdija finished with 16 points (6-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds and five assists across 26 minutes in Monday's 126-107 win over the Pistons.
For the fourth game in a row, Avdija played under 30 minutes and failed to provide a block or a steal, but he was at least able to bounce back in the scoring column after shooting 39.1 percent from the field in the Wizards' prior three contests. After signing a four-year, $55 million contract extension in October, Avdija should be fairly secure in the starting five, but he may not have the upside to see his playing time increase dramatically while the Wizards remain committed to opening up minutes for rookie wing Bilal Coulibaly, who has impressed on the defensive end and has thus far proven to be a better perimeter shooter than anticipated.

Wizards' Daniel Gafford: Swats four shots in win
Gafford provided 10 points (4-5 FG, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, four blocks and two steals over 27 minutes during Monday's 126-107 win over the Pistons.
Gafford provided a defensive spark to help the Wizards snap their nine-game losing streak, as he recorded multiple blocks for the third straight game. This was the third time this season that the big man has tallied at least four blocks in a contest, and he ranks seventh in the league with 2.0 swats per game. Gafford added to his defensive effort Monday with an efficient night as a shooter and finished one board short of notching his third double-double of the campaign.

Wizards' Jordan Poole: Quiet in return from injury
Poole registered 10 points (3-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three assists and one steal in 25 minutes during Monday's 126-107 victory over the Pistons.
Poole missed Washington's previous contest due to ankle soreness, but he was able to suit up against Detroit on Monday. The fifth-year guard didn't perform to his usual standard, however, taking a season-low nine field-goal attempts and failing to drain a three-pointer for just the third time on the campaign. It's unclear if the ankle issue contributed to his subpar stat line, but Poole will have a chance to turn things around when the Wizards visit Orlando on Wednesday.

Wizards' Kyle Kuzma: Helps Wiz snap losing streak
Kuzma provided 32 points (10-23 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 10-11 FT), 12 rebounds and eight assists in 35 minutes during Monday's 126-107 victory over Detroit.
Washington had lost nine straight games coming into Monday, and Kuzma played a big part in ensuring that the disappointing streak came to an end against Detroit. The star forward led the Wizards in scoring, rebounds and assists, falling just two dimes shy of a triple-double. Promisingly, Kuzma has stepped up considerably as a distributor of late -- over his past five contests, he's averaging 8.6 assists per game.

Wizards' Jordan Poole: Available Monday
Poole (ankle) is available for Monday's matchup versus the Pistons.
Poole has been upgraded from questionable to available and will return to action following a one-game absence due to a left ankle sprain. After a rough start to the campaign, Poole has picked things up of late, averaging 26.7 points (on 41.8 percent shooting), 3.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.0 steals over his last three appearances.
