Monte Morris - Light minutes in returnMorris (back) finished Wednesday's 122-120 loss to the Hawks with five points (2-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt), five assists and four rebounds in 16 minutes.
ImpactMorris was cleared to play for the first time since Feb. 24 after missing each of the Wizards' previous six contests with the back injury, but head coach Wes Unseld Jr. chose to bring the veteran point guard off the bench for the first time this season. Whether the decision to keep Morris on the second unit was designed to manage his minutes may not be clear until the next few games, as it's possible that Unseld has elected to roll with Delon Wright as the team's starting point guard moving forward. Even if Wright retains a spot on the top unit, he may not be able to regularly double Morris up in minutes, as was the case Wednesday.

Deni Avdija - Shooting woes persistAvdija accumulated two points (1-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt), eight rebounds and three assists across 23 minutes during Wednesday's 122-120 loss to Atlanta.
ImpactAvdija is an inconsistent offensive performer, and he's amid an icy stretch. Over the past 11 games, he's averaged just 6.7 points on 37.7 percent shooting from the field and 21.4 percent from deep. His 6.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 0.9 steals are helping to salvage some fantasy value, but fantasy managers should temper expectations.

ImpactAfter scoring a combined 39 points in the previous two games, Bey struggled Wednesday. However, ups and downs are nothing new for Bey. He has six performances this season with at least five made threes and 12 performances without a made triple.
