Ricky Rubio - Not listed on injury reportRubio (knee) is not listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Pistons.

ImpactRubio sat out the second leg of a back-to-back set on Monday, but he should return to the floor for Wednesday's game. Rubio has been heating up over the past five games, averaging 7.2 points, 5.8 assists, 1.6 triples, 1.0 steal and just 1.0 turnover per contest, so he could be worth a look in deep leagues if you need some dimes.

Daniel Gafford - Puts up quality line in lossGafford finished with 11 points (5-6 FG, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, three blocks and one assist in 24 minutes in Tuesday's 114-91 loss to the Cavaliers.

ImpactAfter delivering a 10-point, 10-rebound double-double in the Wizards' previous game Saturday against the Nets, Gafford came away with an even more fantasy-friendly performance Tuesday due to his stronger production in the blocks category. Occasional bouts with foul trouble and minor injuries have made it difficult for Gafford to consistently reach 30 minutes, but the Wizards appear committed to using him in the frontcourt alongside floor-stretching big man Kristaps Porzingis. Barring any major additions to the Washington frontcourt ahead of Thursday's trade deadline, Gafford should be an excellent producer in the blocks, field-goal percentage and rebounds categories the rest of the way.

Anthony Gill - Makes return MondayGill (COVID-19 protocols) played 21 minutes and finished with six points (2-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist in Monday's 114-91 loss to the Cavaliers.

ImpactFollowing a four-game stint in the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols, Gill was cleared to play ahead of the Wizards' three-game Week 17 slate. Due to the absences of Bradley Beal (foot) and Kyle Kuzma (ankle), Gill ended up playing a healthy amount of minutes off the bench, but the 30-year-old may be in store for a decreased role Wednesday against the Hornets if at least one of the two injured players returns to action.

Corey Kispert - Struggles with shot versus CavsKispert supplied two points (1-7 FG, 0-5 3Pt), one rebound and one assist over 26 minutes during Monday's 114-91 loss to the Cavaliers.

ImpactKispert's main asset from a fantasy perspective is his three-point shooting, so he's not much of a help when he fails to knock down any of his attempts like he did Monday. The effort marks his lowest output since he played just 11 minutes versus Oklahoma City on Nov. 11, and he supplemented it with just one board and one assist. Kispert's shot volume and minutes were on par, and the Wizards struggled to score on the whole, so this isn't a worrisome outcome for him moving forward and should be primarily viewed as a blip on the radar.
