Corey Kispert - Moves back to bench Kispert recorded 11 points (3-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 30 minutes during Monday's 117-98 victory over the 76ers.

Impact The rookie started all three games that Bradley Beal missed due to COVID-19 protocols, but with Beal back in action Monday, Kispert moved back to a reserve role. The change didn't have a negative impact on his workload, however, as he saw 30 minutes of action -- his most in any game since Jan. 5 against Houston. Kispert has now scored in double-figures in four straight games for the first time in his career. Fantasy-wise, he remains a fringe option in most leagues, but he could be of use to managers in desperate need of three-pointers.

Bradley Beal - Returns with 13 points, six dimes Beal contributed 13 points (5-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, six assists and one block in 33 minutes during Monday's 117-98 win over the 76ers.

Impact Making his return after a three-game COVID-19 absence, Beal was back in the starting lineup at shooting guard, sending rookie Corey Kispert to the bench. Beal was relatively quiet in his 33 minutes -- he failed to reach 20 points for the first time since Dec. 13 -- though it's very possible he was battling some conditioning issues, as he was a game-time call leading up to tip-off. With an off day Tuesday, expect Beal to be in action again Wednesday against the Nets.

Thomas Bryant - Scores 15 in 16 minutes Bryant logged 15 points (6-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one block across 16 minutes during Monday's 117-98 victory over the 76ers.

Impact Making his third appearance since returning from a torn ACL, this was easily Bryant's best showing after he totaled just six points, three rebounds, one assist and no blocks or steals through his first two contests (23 total minutes). Bryant was able to take advantage of starting center Daniel Gafford's foul trouble, as both he and Rui Hachimura (16 minutes) ended up seeing more action than Gafford, who picked up four personals in just eight minutes. It's still unclear exactly how the minutes will break down when all three of those big men -- plus Montrezl Harrell -- are fully healthy, but Bryant could eventually make a run at unseating Gafford for the starting spot.

Kyle Kuzma - Another big double-double in win Kuzma ended with 15 points (6-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 16 rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one steal in 29 minutes during Monday's 117-98 victory over the 76ers.

Impact The Wizards won for the fourth time in five games, and it was Kuzma who led the way on an afternoon when Bradley Beal took just 12 shots in 33 minutes. The ex-Laker has been on a tear over the last month, posting 10 double-doubles in his last 13 games. On the year, he's now grabbed at least 15 boards four times.

Daniel Gafford - In foul trouble vs. Embiid Gafford finished Monday's 117-98 victory over the 76ers with five points (2-2 FG, 1-2 FT) and one block over eight minutes.

Impact Considering his minutes had already been on the decline of late with Rui Hachimura and Thomas Bryant back in the mix, this was an alarming afternoon for Gafford, who picked up a few early fouls and sat out nearly the entire second half. For now, he still appears to have the upper hand at center, but both Bryant (15 points, five rebounds) and Hachimura (11 points, five rebounds) played well Monday, so it wouldn't be a surprise if the trio splits minutes relatively evenly going forward. Bryant, who missed more than a full calendar year with a torn ACL, could even reclaim his starting designation at some point.

Bradley Beal - Clears protocols, will be GTD Beal (COVID-19 protocols) is considered a game-time decision for Monday's matchup against the 76ers, Wizards insider Quinton Mayo reports.

Impact The good news is Beal has officially cleared protocols, so it's likely a matter of whether or not his conditioning is strong enough for him to play after he missed the Wizards' last three contests. Prior to entering protocols, Beal strung together a six-game stretch in which he averaged 27.3 points, 8.8 assists, 4.8 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 2.2 threes (36.1% 3Pt) across 36.7 minutes per contest.
