WASHINGTON WIZARDS NEWS

Spencer Dinwiddie - Strong all-around effort Dinwiddie totaled 17 points (6-10 FG, 5-7 3Pt), seven rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 39 minutes during Friday's 109-105 loss to the Raptors.

Impact Although the Wizards lost this game, Dinwiddie had another impressive performance and ended just three rebounds and three assists away from putting up a triple-double. The combo guard is widely known for his ability to fill the stat sheet but has been thriving as a scorer as well and has delivered double-digit points in five of his last six contests.

Bradley Beal - Close to double-double in loss Beal chipped in 25 points (10-19 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds and eight assists over 40 minutes during Friday's 109-105 loss to Toronto.

Impact Aside from a 13-point game against the Sixers on Jan. 17, Beal continues to shine as a scoring weapon for the Wizards and has been remarkably consistent -- he has scored at least 20 points in all but two games since Dec. 6. He's averaged 26.1 points per game while shooting 48.9 percent from the field in that stretch. His role as Washington's go-to player on offense is not under any sort of question, but the efficiency levels are certainly impressive.

Deni Avdija - Starting Friday Avdija is starting Friday's game against the Raptors

Impact Avdija will make his first start since Jan. 5 since Kyle Kuzma (neck) was a late scratch Friday. He's averaged 6.6 points and 2.6 rebounds in 16.6 minutes per game across his last five appearances.

Kyle Kuzma - Late scratch due to neck spasms Kuzma is a late scratch for Friday's matchup against the Raptors due to neck spams.

Impact Kuzma is missing his first game since mid-December. He's been on a roll, posting double-digit points in 14 straight games, with averages of 22.1 points, 11.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 35.4 minutes. In his absence, more minutes could be in store for Rui Hachimura and Davis Bertans.

Deni Avdija - Productive despite loss Avdija recorded 13 points (4-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 23 minutes during Wednesday's 119-118 loss to the Nets.

Impact Avdija made contributions across the board, was efficient offensively, and logged a healthy plus-3 in the box score. He trailed only Montrezl Harrell in minutes off the bench. Avdija has been an underrated defender this season, trailing only Kyle Kuzma and Daniel Gafford in defensive win shares for Washington. He ranks in the top-100 in DWS league-wide despite his limited playing time, ahead of guys like Scottie Barnes and Patrick Beverley. The 21-year-old is a project, but his trajectory is encouraging.

Rui Hachimura - Season-best performance Hachimura closed with 14 points (5-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds and one block over 17 minutes during Wednesday's 119-118 loss to the Nets.

Impact Hachimura co-led the Washington bench in scoring and also recorded a team-high plus-7 in the box score. Wednesday marked Hachimura's sixth game since returning from an extended absence. He has now scored double-digit points in back-to-back games as he continues to shake off rust.

JANUARY 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Montrezl Harrell - Performs at status quo Harrell logged 14 points (6-10 FG, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, three assists and three blocks over 24 minutes during Wednesday's 119-118 loss to the Nets.

Impact Harrell was once again solid -- having now scored between 11 and 18 points in 10 straight contests. He's averaging 22.8 minutes per game since the beginning of December and that figure has dipped in comparison to his earlier season involvement. It's slightly counterintuitive, as through 37 appearances this season, Harrell is averaging 14.6 points, 7.3 rebounds and career-high shooting marks across the board.

Bradley Beal - Not enough in loss Beal finished Wednesday's 119-118 loss to the Nets with 23 points (7-18 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 6-8 FT), four rebounds, nine assists, one block and two steals over 37 minutes.

Impact Beal led Washington in scoring as well as assists -- including a dime to Kyle Kuzma, which made it a one-point game with less than a minute to play. Even amid a moderately efficient night, Beal logged a team-worst minus-11 in the box score. He's in a mini-slump, shooting just 36.5 percent from the field over his previous three games. He'll look to breakout against Toronto on Friday.
