Hamidou Diallo - Probable at TorontoDiallo (ankle) is probable for Thursday's game against the Raptors.
Marvin Bagley III - Doubtful ThursdayBagley (ankle) is doubtful to play Thursday against the Raptors.
ImpactBagley is likely to sit out for a third straight game due to a sprained left ankle. Assuming that's the case, his next chance to play will arrive Friday against the Pacers.

Kyle Kuzma - Business as usualKuzma registered 21 points (7-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and two blocks in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 116-113 win over the Pistons.
ImpactKuzma scored 20-plus points for the sixth time over his last seven games and fell one rebound shy of his third double-double during that stretch. Since the beginning of February (12 games), the fifth-year forward has averaged 21.0 points, 8.8 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.3 blocks in 34.9 minutes per contest. He's solidified himself as the go-to option in Washington since the trade of Bradley Beal, though Kristaps Porzingis (knee) could compete for that title when he's finally cleared for action.

Ish Smith - Dishes out team-high eight assistsSmith finished Tuesday's 116-113 win over the Pistons with 11 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds and eight assists across 23 minutes.
ImpactSmith scored in double figures for the fourth time over his last five games and dished out a team-high eight assists, tying his season high. Over his last eight appearances, the point guard has averaged 9.7 points, 5.3 assists and 3.0 rebounds in 22.1 minutes per game. Smith has a stronghold on the top backup guard spot right now, but recently acquired Tomas Satoransky, who made his Wizards debut Tuesday, figures to compete for some of those minutes moving forward.

Tomas Satoransky - Plays 14 minutes in debutSatoransky chipped in four points (1-1 FG, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 14 minutes during Tuesday's 116-113 win over the Pistons.
ImpactSatoransky was the second guard off the bench during his Wizards debut. As of now, it appears his role will be limited, but he may get increased looks moving forward if Deni Avdija, who sprained his ankle Tuesday, is sidelined for an extended period. Either way, the veteran point guard is unlikely to crack fantasy relevancy.

Thomas Bryant - Season-high 16 points off benchBryant finished with 16 points (6-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one block across 22 minutes during Tuesday's 116-113 victory over Detroit.
ImpactBryant was efficient from the field en route to a season-high 16 points off the bench. The fifth-year center has struggled to find any consistency after being sidelined for the first two-plus months of the season due to the ACL surgery he underwent last year. Bryant is firmly supplated behind Daniel Gafford on the depth chart, and his playing time may take another hit when Kristaps Porzingis (knee) returns, though it's unclear when that may be.

Corey Kispert - Solid production in winKispert totaled 11 points (4-11 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 36 minutes during Tuesday's 116-113 win over Detroit.
ImpactKispert dished out at least five assists for just the second time this season and registered at least one steal and one block for a third consecutive game. The rookie has made eight consecutive starts and has averaged 10.8 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.3 assists across 32.9 minutes during that stretch. He'll look to keep up his solid play Friday against the Hawks.
