Landry Shamet - Scores 15 points in return Shamet contributed 15 points (3-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 8-9 FT), two rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals in 16 minutes during Monday's 136-128 loss to Oklahoma City.
Impact Shamet was aggressive in his return from a two-game absence due to a hamstring injury, earning nine trips to the free-throw line, which tied his career-best mark. The sharpshooter converted on eight of those attempts, which also tied a career high, en route to tying his season high with 15 points. Now that he's healthy, Shamet should see around 18-20 minutes per game, but he doesn't offer much fantasy upside outside of being a three-point specialist in deeper leagues.

Impact Over his last 10 appearances, Coulibaly has played 26.0 minutes per game, but he hasn't been overly productive, averaging 5.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.0 blocks.

Impact It's Kuzma's fifth double-double of the season and first since Nov. 27, while the 15 boards were a season high. The 28-year-old forward has had a couple clunkers in recent weeks, but over the last 15 games Kuzma is still averaging 22.1 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.7 threes while carrying the scoring load for the Wizards.

Impact Wright logged his normal workload in both halves of Washington's back-to-back set Friday and Saturday, but he seemingly picked up a quad contusion along the way.
