Bradley Beal - Season-ending surgery on tap Beal plans to undergo season-ending surgery after he had his left wrist re-evaluated Tuesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Impact After initially suffering the injury Jan. 29, Beal missed four consecutive games and was already set to miss a fifth straight contest Thursday versus Brooklyn. Shortly after being diagnosed with the sprained wrist, the veteran guard saw a specialist in New York City, which quickly raised alarms about a long-term absence. Those concerns didn't dissipate following Beal's one-week shutdown, and after receiving additional medical opinions, he looks poised to go under the knife. Aaron Holiday has started in place of Beal in each of the last four games and will likely continue to see an increased workload for the remainder of the season, as should young wings Corey Kispert and Deni Avdija. From a usage standpoint, Spencer Dinwiddie and Kyle Kuzma will likely continue to carry most of the load, but the Wizards hopes of sticking in the playoff picture are significant damaged with their best player out of commission. According to Wojnarowski, Beal is eligible to sign a five-year, $245 million contract extension with the Wizards this summer, but his upcoming wrist surgery could halt momentum on a potential deal. If an extension isn't reached his offseason, Beal will have a decision to make regarding his $36.4 million player option for the 2022-23 campaign.

Impact Evaluations of Beal's wrist remain ongoing more than a week after the Wizards initially shut him down with the injury. He'll be sidelined for a fifth straight game Thursday, and even if the Wizards are able to definitely rule out surgery for Beal, his absence will likely be extended into next week, if not through the All-Star break. Aaron Holiday has started in place of Beal for the past four games but hasn't offered much from a fantasy perspective with averages of 7.5 points, 2.5 assists, 1.8 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 21.8 minutes.

Spencer Dinwiddie - Continues offensive free fall Dinwiddie registered four points (2-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt), five rebounds, six assists and two steals over 26 minutes during Monday's 121-100 loss to the Heat.
Impact Among qualified campaigns in his career, Dinwiddie is amid his worst offensive season. He is making solid contributions across the box score, but his 37.7 field-goal percentage is neutralizing his value. Over his last seven games, Dinwiddie is shooting a lowly 22.1 percent from the field (15-of-68). He will look to snap his funk in a revenge game against the Nets on Thursday.
FEBRUARY 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope - Continues regression Caldwell-Pope finished Monday's 121-100 loss to the Heat with nine points (3-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and two assists over 22 minutes.
Impact Caldwell-Pope is now shooting 29.2 percent over his previous four games, while logging 1.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists over that stretch. Additionally, he grades as a negative contributor on both ends of the floor. With few silver linings to speak of during his recent cold streak, it's fair to wonder if the Wizards will look to bury Caldwell-Pope deeper in the rotation moving forward.

Rui Hachimura - Plays season-high 27 minutes Hachimura chipped in 11 points (4-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 27 minutes during Monday's 121-100 loss to the Heat.
Impact Hachimura wasn't anything to write home about, but the 23-year-old is taking baby steps in reacclimatizing to a role in Washington's rotation. Although it may feel long ago, Hachimura averaged 13.8 points on a 47.8 percent clip across 57 games last season. Hachimura's ramping up is worth monitoring, as he remains a pedigree prospect.
FEBRUARY 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Corey Kispert - Booms for 20 points Kispert notched 20 points (9-15 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one steal across 26 minutes during Monday's 121-100 loss to the Heat.
Impact The rookie matched his season high in scoring, leading the Wizards in production. It's worth noting that 11 of his points came in the fourth quarter, all of which was essentially garbage time with Miami winning by 21 points entering the frame. Kispert was fired up late in the contest, throwing the ball against the stanchion but miraculously not drawing a technical foul. He'll look to translate that energy into a win when Washington hosts Brooklyn on Thursday.
FEBRUARY 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Aaron Holiday - Leads starters with 14 points Holiday contributed 14 points (5-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, four assists and three steals over 28 minutes during Monday's 121-100 loss to the Heat.
Impact Holiday continues to start for Bradley Beal (wrist), with the latter lacking a clear timetable for return. Monday marks a fair representation of Holiday's ceiling upon inheriting 20-30 minutes per night. Holiday logged 24.5 minutes per game across 66 contests for the Pacers' in 2019-20, averaging 9.5 points, 3.4 assists and 0.8 steals per game while shooting 39.4 percent from three.

Joel Ayayi - Solid all-around performance Ayayi delivered 18 points (8-14 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), nine rebounds and seven assists across 33 minutes in Wednesday's win over Fort Wayne.
Impact As it has been the trend all season long, Ayayi was a versatile all-around threat for the Go-Go since he ended just one rebound and three assists away from delivering what would've been his first triple-double of the regular season. Nonetheless, his ability of filling out the box score is a huge plus for Capital City.
