Gigantic game in return Kuzma (ankle) ended with 33 points (11-20 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 5-6 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one block over 36 minutes during Tuesday's 126-101 win over Portland. Impact Kuzma returned to action after a four-game absence and proved to be deadly from deep, falling one trey shy of matching his season high. With Bradley Beal and Kristaps Porzingis in good health, the addition of Kuzma gives the Wizards a good chance to make a push for the Eastern Conference Play-In Tournament once the team returns from the All-Star break. Kuzma is on pace for his beat season yet, as he's averaging 21.5 points, 7.6 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 2.5 three-pointers through 52 appearances.
