Wizards' Will Riley: Another strong showing
Riley finished with 22 points (8-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, five assists and two steals over 29 minutes during Friday's 131-126 loss to Golden State.
Riley has been one of the brightest spots for the Wizards this season, and his emergence as a reliable contributor after the All-Star break has been a positive aspect -- both in fantasy and real life. Riley has scored at least 15 points in five of his last seven outings, and this 22-point output off the bench was his best scoring mark since he had 22 points in a loss to the Heat on March 10. Riley has been a popular addition in most fantasy formats, and the numbers back him up since he's averaging 15.0 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game in 19 appearances since the All-Star break.

Wizards' Will Riley: Won't start Friday
Riley won't start Friday's game against the Warriors.
With Tre Johnson (foot) returning to the lineup following a three-game absence, Riley will retreat to the second unit. The 20-year-old out of Illinois has averaged 15.2 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 29.2 minutes per contest over his last five outings off the bench.

Wizards' Will Riley: Records second double-double
Riley notched 19 points (6-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 10 rebounds and five assists in 22 minutes during Wednesday's 133-110 victory over the Jazz.
The 17-55 Wizards continue to take a long look at the rookie first-rounder, who submitted his second double-double of the campaign. Riley has started nine games in a row, averaging 14.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.9 three-pointers in 33.1 minutes per tilt.

Wizards' Will Riley: Available to play Saturday
Riley (adductor) will play in Saturday's game against OKC.
Riley was considered questionable heading into Saturday's game. However, he'll avoid his first absence since Jan. 9. The 2025 No. 21 overall pick has had the best month of his inaugural career, averaging 15.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.1 blocks in March (10 games). He's also started in each of the Wizards' previous six contests. That trend should continue, considering Tre Johnson (foot) and Trae Young (back) aren't available.

Wizards' Will Riley: Massive workload in loss
Riley accumulated 15 points (5-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist over 40 minutes during Thursday's 117-95 loss to Detroit.
The Wizards have spread out their minutes quite a bit in recent weeks, so the fact that Riley logged 40 on Thursday is a great sign for his fantasy appeal moving forward. The Wizards were missing several players due to injuries and maintenance Thursday, but that's likely to be a normal occurrence down the stretch.

Wizards' Will Riley: Questionable for Saturday
Riley is questionable for Saturday's game against Oklahoma City due to right adductor soreness.
The rookie first-rounder is in jeopardy of missing his first contest since Jan. 9. A potential absence for Riley would likely free up a spot in the starting lineup for either Justin Champagnie or Jamir Watkins Saturday.

Wizards' Will Riley: Knocks down four threes
Riley finished with 21 points (6-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five assists and four rebounds over 39 minutes during Monday's 125-117 loss to the Warriors.
Riley bounced back from a pair of single-digit scoring efforts over his previous two games with a 21-point performance. Monday marked the rookie's fourth 20-point outing of the year, as well as the fourth time he's connected on four triples in a game. After not seeing consistent playing time to open the campaign, Riley has emerged as a consistent contributor down the stretch for the Wizards, logging 25-plus minutes in each of his past 12 appearances.

Wizards' Will Riley: Only five points in loss
Riley ended with five points (2-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt), five rebounds and three assists in 29 minutes during Saturday's 111-100 loss to the Celtics.
Riley managed just five points, the fewest he has scored in his past 13 games. Despite playing a consistent role, Riley has struggled to put up standard-league value, averaging just 13.3 points and 1.2 three-pointers in 28.1 minutes per game in 13 appearances over the past month. While he can be relied upon for minutes, his production resembles that of a streaming option rather than someone who needs to be rostered.

Wizards' Will Riley: Second-best scoring mark of season
Riley closed Tuesday's 150-129 loss to the Heat with 22 points (6-13 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 6-7 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal over 40 minutes.
Riley was one of the few standout performers for the Wizards in a game that will go down in history for Bam Adebayo's 83-point performance. Riley notched his second-best scoring mark of the campaign and reached the 20-point mark for the first time since Feb. 7, when he posted a season-best 27 points in a loss to the Nets. He's been on a tear since the All-Star break, scoring in double digits in nine of his last 11 appearances.

Wizards' Will Riley: Starting Tuesday
Riley will start Tuesday's game against the Heat.
After coming off the bench in Washington's last two games, Riley will get the starting nod in Miami. As a starter this season (four games), the rookie first-rounder has averaged 16.8 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.8 steals in 34.3 minutes per contest.

Wizards' Will Riley: Coming off bench Thursday
Riley is not in the Wizards' starting lineup against the Jazz on Thursday.
Riley will move to a bench role for Thursday's contest while the Wizards roll with a starting lineup of Tre Johnson, Leaky Black, Bilal Coulibaly, Julian Reese and Trae Young. Riley started in Tuesday's loss to the Magic, when he finished with 19 points, five assists, three rebounds, two three-pointers and two steals over 33 minutes.

Wizards' Will Riley: Productive in spot start
Riley produced 19 points (8-13 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-3 FT), three rebounds, five assists and two steals in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 126-109 loss to the Magic.
Riley was efficient from the floor and found a way to make an impact at both ends since he recorded at least two tallies in four of the five major categories. Riley has been making the most of the uptick in minutes he's receiving of late, and the rookie forward has scored in double digits in all but one of his last seven contests. He's averaging 14.3 points, 4.1 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.1 steals per game over that stretch.

Wizards' Will Riley: Receiving fourth career start
Riley is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Magic.
The rookie first-rounder is drawing his fourth career start in Kyshawn George's (elbow) stead Tuesday. Riley has averaged 16.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.7 steals in 34.7 minutes per contest across three games as a starter this season, shooting 43.8 percent from three-point range.

Wizards' Will Riley: Paces Washington in loss
Riley closed Saturday's 134-125 loss to the Raptors with 19 points (6-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-7 FT), four rebounds and three assists in 34 minutes.
With Kyshawn George back in action following a one-game absence due to a left knee contusion, Riley shifted to a bench role after recording a double-double during his spot start in Thursday's loss to Atlanta. The rookie first-rounder still logged a team-high 34 minutes Saturday en route to a team-best 19 points. He has played at least 29 minutes in four straight games (one start), averaging 15.5 points, 6.0 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 32.5 minutes per tilt during that span.

Wizards' Will Riley: Cleared to play Saturday
Riley (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Raptors.
Riley popped up on Friday's injury report due to a right ankle contusion, but the rookie first-rounder has been given the green light to play in Saturday's home contest. He started Thursday's 126-96 loss to the Hawks on Thursday and finished with 14 points, 10 rebounds, four assists and one steal over 36 minutes, marking the first double-double of his NBA career.

Wizards' Will Riley: Not starting Saturday
Riley won't start against the Raptors on Saturday, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
The rookie first-rounder got the spot start in Thursday's loss to Atlanta but will slide to the second unit with Kyshawn George (knee) back in the lineup. Over his last five outings off the bench, Riley has averaged 10.2 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 21.0 minutes per tilt.

Wizards' Will Riley: Questionable with bruised ankle
Riley is questionable for Saturday's game against Toronto with a right ankle contusion.
Fresh off securing his first career triple-double in Thursday's loss to the Hawks, Riley is at risk of sitting out for the first time since Jan. 9. The possible absence of Riley would likely get Bilal Coulibaly in the streaming mix in all leagues, with Justin Champagnie also being a candidate for an amplified role in this scenario.
