Daniel Gafford - Reclaims starting role Gafford is in the starting lineup Sunday against Denver.
Marvin Bagley III - Moves to bench Sunday Bagley will come off the bench Sunday against Denver.
Impact Bagley joining the second unit upon the return of Daniel Gafford (concussion) is the expected lineup alteration for the Wizards. Sunday will represent a notable litmus test for the extent of Bagley's role while platooning with Gafford for the first time.

Corey Kispert - Delivers 16 points off bench Kispert totaled 16 points (4-10 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 7-7 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 25 minutes during Saturday's 131-127 loss to the Spurs.
Impact Kispert has been extremely productive in a bench role for the Wizards, and he has been putting up solid scoring figures, particularly via his three-point shooting. Kispert is averaging 11.6 points per game while shooting 38.1 percent from beyond the arc in nine January contests.

Jordan Poole - Scores 16 points Saturday Poole chipped in 16 points (7-15 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two assists, one block and two steals over 29 minutes during Saturday's 131-127 loss to the Spurs.
Impact Poole has not lived up to expectations in his first season with the Wizards, but he delivered a decent stat line here, though he didn't do much outside of scoring. That's where most of his fantasy upside comes from, though, and on that note, Poole is averaging 21.3 points per game over his last six outings, perhaps starting to leave behind some of the struggles he had earlier in the campaign.

Marvin Bagley III - Solid output in starting role Bagley closed with 21 points (8-19 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and one steal over 36 minutes during Saturday's 131-127 loss to the Spurs.
Impact Bagley started for the second game in a row with Daniel Gafford (concussion) sidelined, and the big man posted an impressive stat line while also notching a second straight double-double. Bagley should experience an uptick in his fantasy upside if he stays in a starting role, but that will depend on Gafford's availability ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Nuggets.

Daniel Gafford - Clears concussion protocol Gafford (concussion) is cleared to play Sunday against Denver.
Impact Gafford missed two contests due to a concussion, but he was removed from the injury report Sunday. He'll return to a Washington frontcourt featuring the offensively rejuvenating Marvin Bagley, potentially setting up a timeshare moving forward.
