Deni Avdija - Shines in return to starting lineup Avdija registered 16 points (7-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds and six assists in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 118-104 loss to Denver.
Impact With Bradley Beal (knee) and Kyle Kuzma (ankle) out, Avdija made his first start in the month of March. The 22-year-old put up an impressive stat line, as he led the Wizards in rebounds and assists. Over the last three games, Avdija is averaging 9.7 rebounds. If Beal and Kuzma miss more time, Avdija could keep scoring. He has played at least 30 minutes and scored 15 points or more in the last two games.

Corey Kispert - Struggles with shot in start Kispert ended with nine points (3-10 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 118-104 loss to the Nuggets.
Impact Kispert has started four of the last five games, partially due to Bradley Beal (knee) and Kyle Kuzma (ankle) missing time. The second-year guard had another opportunity, but he couldn't knock down shots, as he tied his season high with six missed threes. Kispert also failed to help in other categories and finished with a pedestrian box score. Even if Beal and Kuzma miss more time, Kispert will be tough to trust as a streaming option.
MARCH 23, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Kristaps Porzingis - Foul trouble slows output Porzingis logged 25 points (11-17 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists over 22 minutes during Wednesday's 118-104 loss to Denver.
Impact Porzingis made his first six shots of the game, as he scored 13 of the Wizards' first 16 points. He ran into some foul trouble in the first half that limited his minutes and a potential monster game. The rest of his game was disappointing for fantasy managers. Porzingis snapped a streak of five straight games with multiple blocked shots and posted his lowest rebound total since Dec. 12.

Deni Avdija - Starting with Beal, Kuzma out Avdija will start Wednesday's matchup against the Nuggets, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
Impact With Bradley Beal (knee) and Kyle Kuzma (ankle) out, Avdija will draw his first start since Feb. 28. In his last 10 nods, Avdija has averaged 10.5 points, 9.0 rebounds and 2.4 assists in 31.0 minutes.
MARCH 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Bradley Beal - Ruled out Wednesday Beal (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.
Impact Beal was questionable ahead of Wednesday's matchup due to a sore left knee, and he'll be held out for the second half of a back-to-back set. Jordan Goodwin, Corey Kispert, Johnny Davis and Kendrick Nunn are candidates to see increased run Wednesday, especially since Kyle Kuzma (ankle) has also been ruled out.
MARCH 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Bradley Beal - Termed questionable for Wednesday Beal is considered questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Nuggets due to left knee soreness, Ava Wallace of The Washington Post reports.
Impact It's worth noting that Wednesday's game is the second of a back-to-back set, so the Wizards could explore resting their star player. Beal is still just questionable officially, so it will be worth monitoring his status as the 7 p.m. ET tipoff approaches.
MARCH 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Kendrick Nunn - Minimal rotational role Nunn provided three points (1-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and two steals across five minutes during Tuesday's 122-112 loss to Orlando.
Impact Nunn enjoyed consistent playing time for two months in January and February but has seen his playing time minimize since the start of March, averaging just 5.6 minutes over his eight appearances while not appearing in three games. As long as Washington's backcourt remains remotely healthy, there isn't much to see here in terms of Nunn's fantasy value.
MARCH 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Kyle Kuzma - Won't play Wednesday Kuzma (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.
Impact Kuzma will miss both halves of Washington's current back-to-back set due to an ankle sprain described as "pretty significant." In his absence, Corey Kispert, Deni Avdija and Anthony Gill are candidates for increased roles, but the Wizards will likely rely heavily on Bradley Beal and Kristaps Porzingis. Kuzma's next chance to suit up will come Friday against the Spurs, though he can likely be considered questionable, at best, for that contest.
