Excels with double-double Porzingis produced 28 points (10-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists and one block over 29 minutes during Tuesday's 126-101 win over Portland.

He's averaging 27.5 points, 8.4 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 2.6 treys and 1.6 blocks over his first eight games back in action.

During that stretch, he's averaging 29.2 points, 7.7 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.2 blocks while shooting 59.6 percent from the field and 51.4 percent from deep (6.2 attempts per game). After a slow start to the season, the sharpshooting big man has picked up his production of late and is currently on pace for career highs in a number of categories.

Ties career high with eight triples Porzingis produced 36 points (13-22 FG, 8-14 3Pt, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 118-104 victory over the Hornets.
Impact Porzingis was on fire from deep all night, and he tied his career-best mark with eight three-pointers by the end of the contest. Much of his scoring came in the third quarter, when he put up 18 points after scoring a modest 10 in the first half. Porzingis has been on a roll offensively for the past week, posting 30-plus points three times in his past four games and averaging 31.0 points over that stretch. He continues to put up great numbers as a shot blocker as well, swatting at least one shot in eight straight games.

Leading scorer in Monday's loss Porzingis logged a team-high 18 points (7-13 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one block across 26 minutes during Monday's 114-91 loss to the Cavaliers.
Impact The short-handed Wizards were missing Bradley Beal (foot) and were simply overmatched in this one, as every Cleveland starter had scored in double digits by halftime en route to a 20-point lead for the visitors. Porzingis has missed a handful of games in the last month but has been productive when on the court, scoring in double digits in 15 straight games dating back to late December and averaging 23.6 points, 7.9 boards, 2.3 threes, 2.2 assists and 1.7 blocks over that stretch.

Impact The Wizards got off to a dominant start and led by 20 points before crumbling in the second half. Despite the meltdown, Porzingis notched an excellent fantasy line in a game in which Bradley Beal (foot) sat out and Kyle Kuzma (ankle) departed early in the first half. In his three games since returning from a three-game absence due to an ankle injury of his own, Porzingis has been as good as ever with averages of 29.0 points, 7.3 boards, 4.3 assists, 2.7 blocks, 2.7 three-pointers and 1.0 steals in 32.7 minutes.

Solid all-around performance Porzingis closed Friday's 124-116 loss to the Trail Blazers with 32 points (9-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 11-12 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and one block over 35 minutes.
Impact Porzingis put in a solid all-around performance in Friday's contest in which the Wizards blew a 20-point lead to Portland. The Unicorn has now put up two solid performances on the heels of missing three games with an ankle injury and looks to be back at full health. Poringis has now hit the 30-point mark in eight games this season and has top-20 fantasy value for season-long leagues with his ability to score, rebound and defend.
