Rui Hachimura - Goes for 10 points off bench Hachimura provided 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-2 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal across 22 minutes during Saturday's 92-86 loss to the Cavaliers.
Impact His final stat line didn't impress too much, but Hachimura looked productive off the bench in a game where the Wizards struggled badly on offense all night long. He continues to play off the bench and that role might not change any time soon, but he's adjusting well. The second-year forward is averaging 10.3 points per game across 10 appearances this month.

Daniel Gafford - Efficient performance in loss Gafford accumulated 14 points (7-9 FG, 0-1 FT), seven rebounds and one steal across 24 minutes during Saturday's 92-86 loss to Cleveland.
Impact Gafford has started each of Washington's two games following the All-Star break and his numbers have been similar in both contests, with double-digit points and at least six rebounds in the two games. He's been struggling with fitness and consistency this month and that is reflected in his numbers, as he's averaging just 9.6 points and 5.6 boards per game in February.

Kyle Kuzma - Drills career-high eight treys Kuzma finished with 34 points (13-22 FG, 8-11 3Pt), 13 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 39 minutes during Saturday's 92-86 loss to the Cavaliers.
Impact Kuzma cleared the 30-point mark for the second game in a row thanks largely to his red-hot shooting from downtown, with the eight made three-pointers representing a new career high. After Bradley Beal (wrist) was shut down for the season at the beginning of the month, Kuzma has proceeded to step in as the Wizards' clear No. 1 option on offense. Kuzma concluded February with averages of 21.0 points, 8.8 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 2.7 three-pointers, 1.2 blocks and 0.7 steals in 35.0 minutes per game over 11 appearances.

Tomas Satoransky - Plans to join Wizards Satoransky agreed to a buyout with the Spurs on Saturday and plans to sign with the Wizards, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Impact Satoransky was traded from the Pelicans to the Spurs in early February but made just one appearance for his new team. He's been a fringe rotation player since the start of the calendar year but should have additional opportunities to carve out playing time in Washington, where he played from 2016 to 2019.

Daniel Gafford - Efficient performance in start Gafford notched 17 points (8-9 FG, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one block across 29 minutes during Friday's 157-153 double-overtime loss to the Spurs.
Impact Gafford was back in the starting lineup Friday and scored his most points since Jan. 1. The big man missed five straight contests due to COVID-19 protocols at the beginning of February, but he was able to suit up for Washington's final contest before the All-Star break, though he came off the bench for a second straight appearance. Thomas Bryant was dealing with an ankle injury before Friday's contest but was ultimately ruled available. However, he came off the bench for the first time since Jan. 25 and played just 15 minutes. Fantasy managers will want to monitor how coach Wes Unseld distributes minutes amongst his centers, but as long as they are both healthy, they'll likely hinder each other's overall potential.
FEBRUARY 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kristaps Porzingis - Remains out Saturday Porzingis (knee) is out Saturday against the Cavaliers.
Impact Porzingis returned to practice in a limited capacity Wednesday and Thursday, but he'll remain sidelined for a 12th consecutive game due to his knee injury. Coach Wes Unseld said recently that Porzingis doesn't yet have a timetable for his return. Daniel Gafford and Thomas Bryant will continue to serve as Washington's top options at center while Porzingis is unavailable.

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope - Scores 24 points in loss Caldwell-Pope closed Friday's 157-153 double-overtime loss to the Spurs with 24 points (7-14 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 6-6 FT), one rebound, four assists and two steals over 42 minutes.
Impact Caldwell-Pope scored 20-plus points for the second time over his last three contests and for just the sixth time during the campaign. On the season, the veteran wing is averaging 11.8 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.1 steals in 29.6 minutes per game, but his production hasn't been consistent. Across 10 contests in February, Caldwell-Pope has scored 20-plus points twice, but he's also failed to crack double figures four times during that stretch.
FEBRUARY 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kyle Kuzma - Stellar performance not enough Kuzma produced 36 points (13-27 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 7-8 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists, one block and two steals in 46 minutes during Friday's 157-153 double-overtime loss to the Spur...
Impact Kuzma tied his season high with 36 points and dished out at least seven assists for the fifth time during the campaign, but his dominating performance wasn't enough as the Spurs eked out a narrow double-overtime victory. The fifth-year forward continues to shine during his first season with Washington and is averaging 16.7 points, 8.8 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 33.4 minutes per game -- all career highs. Kuzma will look to build off his stellar performance Saturday against the Cavaliers.
FEBRUARY 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Raul Neto - Season-high performance in start Neto had 22 points (9-15 FG, 4-7 3Pt), four rebounds, nine assists and one steal across 36 minutes during Friday's 157-153 double-overtime loss to San Antonio.
Impact Neto was efficient from the field en route to a season-high 22 points, and he also dished out a career-high nine assists, finishing one short of his first career double-double. The veteran point guard has drawn six consecutive starts since the Wizards traded away Spencer Dinwiddie ahead of the trade deadline. During that stretch, Neto has averaged 14.3 points, 5.5 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 29.5 minutes. He's poised to continue garnering a large role for Washington during the final month and a half of the season.
