Impact George somewhat surprisingly led the team in scoring, putting up a career-high 24 points with six triples off the bench for his first 20-point effort since the Nov. 4 loss to Golden State. The rookie first-rounder is beginning to trend up over his last six games (two starts), as he's averaging 11.0 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 1.3 steals and 2.3 threes in 24.9 minutes during this span. George has struggled for efficiency overall this season, but Thursday's showing could earn him more playing time with the rebuilding Wizards going forward.

Leads bench in loss Monday George closed with 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt), three assists, two steals and one rebound in 18 minutes during Monday's 120-106 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact George led the Wizards' bench in scoring in an efficient outing from the field Monday. However, the rookie received limited playing time in his third consecutive contest off the bench, during which he has averaged 10.0 points, 2.3 assists, 2.3 rebounds and 1.3 steals while shooting only 34.8 percent from the field in 21.3 minutes per contest.

Scores 12 points off bench George ended with 12 points (4-11 FG, 4-8 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one block in 26 minutes during Friday's 138-105 loss to the Bulls.

Impact George returned to the bench after starting in the Wizards' previous two outings, but the rookie out of Miami responded by delivering his first double-digit scoring performance since Dec. 28. George has logged at least 20 minutes in all but one of his previous 11 appearances, so he's seeing enough playing time to be valuable in deep formats, but he's averaging only 6.7 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and a combined 1.5 steals-plus-blocks in that span while shooting a woeful 32.9 percent from the floor. Those numbers won't take him too far in fantasy, essentially limiting his upside to deep formats.

Back to bench Friday George is not in the Wizards' starting lineup against the Bulls on Friday.

Impact George started in the Wizards' last two games and averaged 6.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.5 blocks and 1.0 steals over 27.5 minutes per contest in those starts. However, George will come off the bench Friday due to Jordan Poole returning from a hip injury.

Starting Tuesday George will start Tuesday's game against the Rockets.

Impact With Jordan Poole (hip) and Malcolm Brogdon (foot) in street clothes Tuesday, George will join Washington's first unit. George is averaging just 5.9 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.1 threes in 23.8 minutes per game while shooting 32.2 percent from the field across his last nine games, but the rookie first-rounder is set to soak up additional usage against Houston and is worth a look as a streamer in most fantasy leagues.

Flounders in loss George accumulated one point (0-7 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 27 minutes during Sunday's 110-98 loss to the Pelicans.

Impact Although George started the second half for the injured Malcolm Brogdon (foot) on Sunday, the rookie first-rounder went a brutal 0-for-7 from the field while Jared Butler scored 17 points in just 20 minutes off the bench. George has struggled recently to the tune of 5.9 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.1 threes in 23.8 minutes per game while shooting a mere 32.2 percent from the field across his last nine outings. However, if both Brogdon and Jordan Poole (hip) are unable to return to Washington's lineup for Tuesday's tough matchup against the 23-12 Rockets, George would carry some streaming appeal in deep fantasy leagues for threes and defensive stats.

Meager stat line in return George (ankle) tallied three points (1-4 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one block across 17 minutes in Thursday's 123-114 win over the Hornets.

Impact George was one of three Wizards rotation players back in action Thursday following multi-game absences due to injury, with Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) and Corey Kispert (ankle) also returning to the mix. Though the Wizards were still down a key starting forward in Kyle Kuzma (rib), two-way player Justin Champagnie maintained a spot on the top unit and saw 27 minutes, while George's playing time was more suppressed as he filled a bench role. The rookie first-round pick was a plus-9 during his time on the court but didn't offer much in the way of meaningful numbers in his return from the four-game absence due to a sprained left ankle.

Plays 26 minutes in rout George posted two points (1-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 121-96 loss to the Clippers.

Impact Although he was moved to bench in Jordan Poole's (hip) return to action, George was still able to play 26 minutes in Wednesday's blowout loss to the Clippers. While his performance was muted, George could find himself garnering more playing time with an uptick in fantasy value once again after Kyle Kuzma exited Wednesday's game due to a rib injury. George would be a candidate to rejoin Washington's starting lineup if Kuzma is unable to play in Saturday's matchup with the Bucks. In his six appearances as a starter this season, the rookie first-rounder is averaging 12.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.0 steals in 31.7 minutes per game.

NOVEMBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

However, George will revert to a reserve role Monday as Kyle Kuzma (groin) returns from a five-game absence.

Scores 15 points in loss George chipped in 15 points (5-9 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal over 34 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 121-94 loss to the Magic.
