Impact No surprises here, as Deni Avdija is returning from his heel injury Thursday. The Wizards are still pretty shorthanded, meaning Kispert is likely to play a significant role with the second unit.

Deni Avdija - Cleared to suit up Avdija (heel) is available for Thursday's game against the Lakers.
Impact Avdija has missed the last three games due to a left heel contusion, but he'll be able to return to action against the Lakers. Over eight appearances in February, he's averaged 20.8 points, 8.6 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 32.8 minutes per game, but it's unclear whether the Wizards will monitor his workload Thursday.

Deni Avdija - Iffy against Lakers Avdija (heel) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game versus the Lakers.
Impact Avdija is in danger of missing his fourth straight contest Thursday due to a left heel contusion. Corey Kispert will likely continue to start if Avdija is ruled out against Los Angeles.

Bilal Coulibaly - Out again Thursday Coulibaly (pelvis) will remain on the sidelines for Thursday's game against the Lakers.
Impact It'll be the second straight game on the sidelines for Coulibaly, and for now, he should be considered questionable for Friday's game against the Clippers. Corey Kispert and Landry Shamet will pick up the slack while Coulibaly is out.

Richaun Holmes - Scores one point in 12 minutes Holmes contributed one point (0-3 FG, 1-2 FT) and three rebounds over 12 minutes during Tuesday's 123-112 loss to the Warriors.
Impact Holmes was barely noticeable in the loss, continuing his disappointing season. Despite being traded to a more favorable situation in Washington, Holmes has played fewer than 15 minutes in all five games. Given what we have seen during his time with the Wizards, there is no reason to consider him a serviceable fantasy asset.

Corey Kispert - Pops for 20 points in return Kispert had 20 points (8-15 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds, five assists and two blocks across 33 minutes during Tuesday's 123-112 loss to the Warriors.
Impact Kispert returned from a one-game absence, sliding straight into the starting lineup. He was one of three Wizards players to score at least 20 points, continuing his recent uptick in offensive production. He has now scored at least 20 points in three of the past four games and makes for a viable 12-team commodity for anyone needing points and threes with a sprinkling of steals.

Tyus Jones - Huge assist night despite loss Jones ended with 14 points (6-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, 17 assists and two steals in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 123-112 loss to the Warriors.
Impact Jones handed out a season-high 17 assists, his fifth time in the past six games with double-digit dimes. Despite having lost 12 consecutive games, Jones continues to be an effective fantasy option. He has been the 66th-ranked player over the past month, averaging 12.2 points to go with 10.3 assists and 0.9 steals.

Corey Kispert - Starting Tuesday Kispert is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Warriors.
Impact Kispert will be flanked by Jordan Poole and Landry Shamet in the backcourt, while Kyle Kuzma and Marvin Bagley hold down the frontcourt. Kispert has logged just one prior start this season, which yielded 10 points on uncharacteristic 1-for-10 shooting from beyond the arc in 28 minutes.

Corey Kispert - Good to go Tuesday Kispert (illness) has been cleared for Tuesday's game against Golden State, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
Impact Kispert returns from a one-game absence due to illness. His shooting prowess will be a welcome addition to a Washington offense that ranks 26th in offensive rating across the last four contests, and he could be in line for an untick in usage with Deni Advija (heel) inactive.
FEBRUARY 27 • ROTOWIRE
Landry Shamet - Good to go Tuesday Shamet (neck) is available for Tuesday's game against the Warriors, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
Impact Deni Avidja (heel) remains out, but Shamet and Corey Kispert (illness) will be available, giving Washington much-needed wing depth. After back-to-back scoreless outings, Shamet popped for 15 points Sunday versus Cleveland, which tied a season-high mark.
