Daniel Gafford - Lands in COVID-19 protocolsGafford was placed in the NBA's health and safety protocols Sunday and has been ruled out for Monday's contest against the Heat.
ImpactGafford will have to clear protocols before he's able to rejoin the team. He's started 45 of 48 contests this season and is averaging 8.9 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.5 blocks and 1.0 assists per game. However, his role was expected to diminish significantly now that Thomas Bryant is getting back to full strength. In Gafford's absence, Montrezl Harrell is expected to continue serving as the primary backup while Thomas Bryant sticks in the starting lineup.

Thomas Bryant - Poor numbers in returnBryant scored five points (2-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt) while adding four rebounds in 17 minutes during Saturday's 95-80 loss to the Suns.
ImpactAfter missing Wednesday's game due to a minor ankle injury, Bryant returned to the starting lineup but saw his usual limited role, while Montrezl Harrell once again out-produced him from the bench. Bryant is struggling in the Wizards' current three-man rotation at center, but if Harrell gets moved at the trade deadline, the 24-year-old could regain some degree of fantasy relevance.

Montrezl Harrell - Scores team-high 15 in lossHarrell scored 15 points (5-12 FG, 5-5 Ft) while adding seven rebounds, two assists and a block in 23 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 95-80 loss to the Suns.
ImpactThomas Bryant got the start at center but played only 17 minutes, while Harrell wound up leading the Wizards in point and boards while playing nearly as many minutes as Bryant and Daniel Gafford combined. Harrell's production hasn't been impacted by the trade rumors circling him, and over the last 12 games he's averaging 13.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 0.9 blocks in 21.7 minutes a night from the second unit.

Aaron Holiday - Quiet in Saturday's startHoliday scored 11 points (5-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT) while adding three assists, a rebound and a steal in 22 minutes during Saturday's 95-80 loss to the Suns.
ImpactWith Bradley Beal (wrist) still sidelined, Holiday got another start, and while he didn't produce much, he was the only starter to score in double digits in a game that saw Washington facing a 27-point deficit at halftime. It's the first time the 25-year-old has scored 10 or more points since Jan. 15, but with Beal still lacking a clear timetable for his return, Holiday should remain in the starting five in the short term.
