Daniel Gafford - Lands in COVID-19 protocols Gafford was placed in the NBA's health and safety protocols Sunday and has been ruled out for Monday's contest against the Heat.
Impact Gafford 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 return Bryant 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.
Impact After 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 loss Harrell 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.
Impact Thomas 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.
FEBRUARY 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Aaron Holiday - Quiet in Saturday's start Holiday 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.
Impact With 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.

Thomas Bryant - Not listed on injury report Bryant (ankle) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Saturday's contest against the Suns.
Impact Bryant sustained what coach Wes Unseld described as a "significant" sprained right ankle during Tuesday's loss to the Bucks and was subsequently sidelined for Wednesday's contest against the 76ers. However, he practiced Friday and is expected to return to the rotation Saturday. Due to his ACL surgery last year, the talented big man has only played in nine contests this season and is averaging 7.0 points and 3.1 rebounds in 15.3 minutes.

Thomas Bryant - Practices Friday Coach Wes Unseld said Bryant (ankle) was a full participant during Friday's practice, Chase Hughes of NBC Sports Washington reports.
Impact Bryant sustained what Unseld described as a "significant" sprained right ankle during Tuesday's loss to the Bucks and was subsequently sidelined for Wednesday's contest against the 76ers. However, he appears to be progressing well and has a shot at playing Saturday against Phoenix. When asked about Bryant's availability, Unseld said, "hopefully, he'll be available." There is expected to be more clarification on his status when the Wizards release their official injury report for Saturday's game.

Cassius Winston - Scores 24 off bench Winston had 24 points (7-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 8-8 FT), three assists and two rebounds across 19 minutes off the bench in Monday's win over the Raptors 905.
Impact Winston made the most of his limited on-court time, as he ended as one of the team's best scorers while only needing 13 shots, and the fact that he went to the charity stripe eight times certainly helped him. Expecting these kind of numbers on a regular basis is not ideal, but Winston should be a decent producer off the bench in most games for the Go-Go.

Corey Kispert - Hits three treys Kispert chipped in 11 points (3-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one block in 18 minutes during Wednesday's 106-103 victory over the 76ers.
Impact Wednesday marked the first time in seven prior contests that Kispert has connected on multiple threes. The rookie is shooting just 31.5 percent from deep this season, despite a prolific career from beyond the arc at Gonzaga. With Bradley Beal (wrist) out indefinitely, perhaps Kispert can comfortably settle into an enlarged role moving forward.

Spencer Dinwiddie - Triple-double in win Dinwiddie amassed 14 points (4-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 12 rebounds and 10 assists over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 106-103 win over the 76ers.
Impact Dinwiddie earned the first triple-double of his career, despite having come close in the past with Brooklyn. Dinwiddie coupled his auxiliary production with an ugly shooting night but still logged a respectable plus-4 in the box score. Bradley Beal (wrist) will miss at least another week, and his timeline is uncertain, setting up Dinwiddie for increased usage.
