Corey Kispert - Will start Wednesday Kispert will start Wednesday's game against the Magic.
Impact With Marvin Bagley (back) sidelined, the Wizards are going small, as Kispert will be joined by Kyle Kuzma, Deni Avdija, Bilal Coulibaly and Tyus Jones in the starting lineup. The small-ball lineup could open up more looks for Kispert, who's averaging 15.7 points per game on 36.7 percent from deep over his last 14 appearances (one start).

RJ Hampton - Called up from G League The Wizards recalled Hampton from the G League's Capital City Go-Go on Wednesday.
Impact Hampton could be available off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Magic, though he's unlikely to factor into the rotation while the contest is competitive. Before signing a 10-day deal with Washington over the weekend, Hampton had previously made all eight of his NBA appearances this season with the Heat, averaging 1.3 points, 1.0 assists and 0.8 rebounds in 9.5 minutes per contest while shooting 28.6 percent from the field.

Marvin Bagley III - Ruled out Wednesday Bagley (back) will not play Wednesday versus Orlando.
Impact Bagley will miss his first contest since being activated by the Wizards after the trade deadline. In his stead, backup bigs Richaun Holmes and Eugene Omoruyi will face a formidable opponent in Orlando's jumbo frontcourt Wednesday.
MARCH 5 • ROTOWIRE
Marvin Bagley III - Listed as doubtful Bagley (back) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against Orlando.
Impact Bagley exited Monday's loss to Utah after 23 minutes due to lower back spasms, and the injury appears on track to sideline him Wednesday. His status will need to be monitored, with Richaun Holmes and Eugene Omoruyi representing Washington's depth options if Bagley is unavailable. Kyle Kuzma has logged just 11.0 percent of his minutes at the center position this season.

Bilal Coulibaly - Soaks up heavy minutes in return Coulibaly (pelvis) tallied seven points (2-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one block across 33 minutes Monday in the Wizards' 127-115 loss to the Jazz.
Impact Coulibaly took back a starting role and drew major minutes in his return from a three-game absence due to a right pelvic contusion, but a lowly 9.6 percent usage rate coupled with poor efficiency from the field resulted in a rather muted fantasy line for the rookie. Though the 19-year-old should get all the run he can handle over the final month of the regular season, he'll likely need to ramp up his usage before warranting more attention in 12-team leagues.
MARCH 5 • ROTOWIRE
Tyus Jones - Drains five threes in Monday's loss Jones supplied 21 points (8-11 FG, 5-8 3Pt), five rebounds, six assists and one steal over 30 minutes during Monday's 127-115 loss to the Jazz.
Impact It was a strong bounce-back effort from Jones after he's scored just 32 total points over the prior five games combined. The 27-year-old point guard hasn't let his shooting woes affect his distribution duties, though -- Monday's six dimes tied for the fewest he's recorded since Jan. 10, and over the last 20 contests he's averaging 11.7 points, 10.1 assists, 2.4 boards, 1.8 threes and 1.0 steals.
MARCH 5 • ROTOWIRE
Deni Avdija - Double-double in Utah Avdija logged 16 points (6-18 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Monday's 127-115 loss to the Jazz.
Impact The double-double was the 10th of the season for Avdija, and his second in three games since returning from a heel injury. The fourth-year forward is finally developing into the player the Wizards were hoping to get when they selected him ninth overall in the 2020 Draft, and over 11 contests since the beginning of February, Avdija is averaging 19.2 points, 9.1 boards, 3.1 assists and 2.0 threes while shooting 51.7 percent from the floor and 45.8 percent (22-for-48) from long distance.
MARCH 5 • ROTOWIRE
Kyle Kuzma - Drops 23 in Monday's loss Kuzma notched 23 points (7-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 7-11 FT), five rebounds and eight assists across 35 minutes during Monday's 127-115 loss to Utah.
Impact The 28-year-old forward posted his highest assist total since Jan. 24 as he continues to carry the Wizards' offense. Kuzma has scored at least 20 points in five straight games and six of seven since the All-Star break, averaging 24.9 points, 8.1 boards, 3.6 assists, 2.9 threes and 0.9 steals over that stretch while shooting 44.4 percent (20-for-45) from beyond the arc.
MARCH 5 • ROTOWIRE
Jordan Poole - Pours in 32 off bench Poole closed Monday's 127-115 loss to the Jazz with 32 points (11-18 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound, two assists, one block and two steals over 29 minutes off the bench.
Impact The fifth-year guard led the Wizards in scoring on the night as he continues to come alive as part of the second unit. Poole has topped 30 points three times in seven games since shifting to the bench -- his three highest-scoring performances of the season -- and is averaging 23.4 points, 3.9 assists, 3.6 threes, 2.9 boards and 1.1 steals over that stretch. Rookie Bilal Coulibaly hasn't made a big impact as a starter in his place, but Poole's surge in production will likely mean he remains in his current role.

Landry Shamet - To come off bench vs. Jazz Shamet isn't starting Monday's game against the Jazz.
