Landry Shamet - Absence to continue Sunday Shamet (calf) is out for Sunday's game against Boston.
Patrick Baldwin Jr. - Struggles continue Baldwin ended Saturday's 127-98 loss to Chicago with six points (2-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one steal over 16 minutes.
Impact Baldwin entered the scoring column after compiling zero points across 23 minutes in his last two outings, but the 21-year-old remains amid a quiet stretch. He is shooting just 29.4 percent from the field while logging 12.5 minutes over his last four games.

Bilal Coulibaly - Strong individual outing Coulibaly racked up 15 points (5-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-8 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal in 30 minutes during Saturday's 127-98 loss to the Bulls.
Impact Coulibaly notched his fifth consecutive game with double-digit points, marking his third such streak of the season. He has limped to just 32.0 percent shooting on 1.6 threes per game over that span, however, and the 19-year-old continues to lack a true scoring niche to rely on.

Eugene Omoruyi - Steps into larger role Omoruyi registered seven points (2-3 FG, 3-6 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 17 minutes during Saturday's 127-98 loss to Chicago.
Impact Omoruyi's represented the small half of a true-center platoon with Richaun Holmes on Saturday, although the duo was collectively torched by Nikola Vucevic (29 points, 13 rebounds). At just 6-foot-7, Omoruyi's profiles as nothing more than a physical presence and energy defender.

Corey Kispert - Keeps clipping Kispert ended Saturday's 127-98 loss to Chicago with 16 points (6-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, one assist, three blocks and three steals in 29 minutes.
Impact Kispert is pouring in 17.8 points through his last four contests, fueled by burying 4.0 threes per game at a 53.3 percent clip. Kispert has been a bonafide fantasy asset when receiving a starter's workload this season, averaging 20.3 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.7 assists across 10 contests in which he's received at least 30 minutes of action.

Corey Kispert - Back with starters Kispert will start Saturday's game against the Bulls.
Impact The Wizards initially pulled Kispert out of the lineup with Tyus Jones (back) sitting, putting Jordan Poole and Richaun Holmes in the starting five. However, Deni Avdija (knee) was a late scratch, so Kispert is right back in the lineup.

Deni Avdija - Late scratch for Saturday Avdija is a late scratch for Saturday's game against the Bulls with a right knee contusion.
Impact The Wizards initially cleared Avdija to play, only to rule him out right before tipoff. With Avdija sidelined, the Wizards will start Corey Kispert in his place.

Corey Kispert - Moves to bench Kispert will come off the bench for Saturday's game against the Bulls.
Impact The Wizards are shaking things up with Tyus Jones (back) sitting out. Jordan Poole will enter the starting lineup, along with Richaun Holmes. Despite this move, Kispert figures to maintain a significant role off the bench.
MARCH 16 • ROTOWIRE
Jordan Poole - Joins starting lineup Poole will start Saturday's game versus the Bulls.
Impact Tyus Jones (back) is sitting out for the first time this season, so Poole will move back into the starting five. It will be interesting to see how Poole fares, as he's looked much more comfortable with the second unit.
MARCH 16 • ROTOWIRE
Tyus Jones - Ruled out Saturday Jones (back) will not play Saturday against the Bulls, Chuck Swirsky of the Bulls Radio Network reports.
Impact Jones will miss his first game of the season Saturday, but it remains to be seen if he'll be able to return Sunday against the Celtics. With Jones sidelined, Jordan Poole could have even more responsibility and his fantasy value has been trending in the right direction in recent games.

Richaun Holmes - Available Saturday Holmes (toe) is good to go for Saturday's game in Chicago.
Impact Holmes is set to return from a three-game absence due to a left toe sprain. With Marvin Bagley (back) sidelined, the veteran's presence will be needed in the frontcourt. Look for him to take on his usual workload assuming he avoids any setbacks.

Deni Avdija - Good to go Saturday Avdija (knee) is available for Saturday's game versus the Bulls.
Impact Avdija has been upgraded from questionable to available Saturday despite dealing with a right knee contusion. Avdija is averaging 17.6 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.2 steals in 35.6 minutes across his last five appearances.

Tristan Vukcevic - Not with team Vukcevic (recently signed) hasn't joined the Wizards yet and is out for Saturday's game against the Bulls.
Impact Vukcevic was the No. 42 overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft but opted to remain overseas and play for the Serbian club KK Partizan. The 21-year-old averaged 7.7 points with 54/43/84 shooting splits in 14.4 minutes per game across 30 appearances before reaching a contract buyout with KK Partizan. It's unclear how long it'll take him to join his new team, but following Saturday's road game, the Wizards start a four-game homestand, which begins Sunday versus the Celtics and ends Saturday, March 23 versus the Raptors.
