Black posted 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, three assists, three blocks and three steals over 40 minutes during Wednesday's 133-110 victory over Utah.
Black was a menace on the defensive end, racking up six combined steals and blocks during his season-high 40 minutes. Although Black has been productive, his availability continues to be sporadic at best. He has appeared in three of the past nine games, largely due to what was labeled as an ankle injury. If he can carve out a consistent role for himself down the stretch, he could be worth streaming in when the schedule is a favorable one.

Wizards' Jaden Hardy: Goes for 21 points in win
Rotowire
Hardy contributed 21 points (8-18 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 0-2 FT) and two rebounds across 27 minutes during Wednesday's 133-110 win over the Jazz.
Hardy scored at least 20 points for the second straight game, continuing to provide the Wizards with a consistent scoring punch off the bench. In four appearances over the past week, he has averaged 17.3 points and 4.3 three-pointers, and yet still ranks outside the top 200 during that time. A lack of peripheral production remains an issue, limiting Hardy in terms of overall appeal.

Wizards' Julian Reese: Another massive game
Rotowire
Reese generated 26 points (12-16 FG, 2-4 FT), 17 rebounds, one steal and one block across 30 minutes of Wednesday's 133-110 win over Utah.
Reese set a career high in points, pacing the Wizards in the category while shooting an efficient 75 percent from the field. It was his second 15-point, 15-rebound game in just five NBA appearances this season. While Reese doesn't hold a stable spot in the rotation, he's an excellent streaming candidate when Alex Sarr (toe) and Tristan Vukcevic (back) are unavailable, as they were Wednesday.
Reese is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Jazz.
Alex Sarr (toe) and Tristan Vukcevic (back) are sidelined, leaving a spot open in the starting lineup for Reese. In his four other starts this season, Reese averaged 10.3 points, 9.4 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 steals across 30.8 minutes, though those numbers are inflated by an 18-point, 20-rebound outburst.

Rotowire
Black is part of the starting five for Wednesday's game against the Jazz.

Wizards' Jamir Watkins: Moving to second unit
Rotowire
Watkins isn't part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Jazz.
Watkins will move back to the bench after making a spot start the last time out. Given the Wizards' lengthy injury report, expect Watkins to see plenty of run.

Wizards' Kyshawn George: Out at least one more week
Rotowire
The Wizards said Wednesday that George (elbow) will be re-evaluated in one week, at which point an update for his rest-of-season status will be provided, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.
George is dealing with a Grade 2 distal UCL tear in his left elbow, an issue that has kept him sidelined since March 3. The Wizards are planning to take a conservative approach with George, so it wouldn't be surprising for next week's update to rule George out for the season. While George has been out, Will Riley and Jamir Watkins have taken on larger roles. The Wizards have six regular-season games after George's set re-evaluation date of April 1.

Wizards' Tristan Vukcevic: Ruled out Wednesday
Rotowire
Vukcevic is out for Wednesday's game against the Jazz due to lower-back tightness.
After exiting early during Sunday's loss to the Knicks, Vukcevic continues to deal with the issue and can be deemed day-to-day going forward. With Alex Sarr (toe) also sidelined, the Wizards will need to play small-ball, with Anthony Gill, Justin Champagnie, Julian Reese and Jamir Watkins as candidates to soak up center minutes.

Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Cleared to play
Rotowire
Coulibaly (heel) is good to go for Wednesday's game against the Jazz.
Coulibaly will shake off a questionable tag after dealing with right retrocalcaneal bursitis. For now, it's unclear if he will face any restrictions against the Jazz. After missing two games in mid-March, Coulibaly has totaled 34 points, nine rebounds, six assists, four steals and four blocks in 63 minutes over his past two appearances.

Wizards' Tristan Vukcevic: Iffy for Wednesday
Rotowire
Vukcevic (back) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Jazz.
Vukcevic picked up the back injury during Sunday's matchup with the Knicks, and he could miss additional game action as a result. The team figures to re-evaluate the big man at some point Wednesday to get a better idea of his availability.
Johnson (foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Jazz.
Johnson will miss a third consecutive contest due to a right foot sprain, and his next opportunity to play will come Friday against the Warriors. With the rookie first-rounder sidelined, Jaden Hardy, Jamir Watkins and Justin Champagnie are candidates for increased minutes.

Wizards' Alex Sarr: Unavailable for Wednesday
Rotowire
Sarr (toe) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Jazz.
Sarr will miss a second straight game as a result of left toe inflammation. Tristan Vukcevic (back), Anthony Gill and Julian Reese could all factor into the mix at center in Sarr's absence.

Wizards' Trae Young: Remaining out for Wednesday
Rotowire
Young (quadriceps) is out for Wednesday's game against the Jazz.
Young is set for his fifth straight absence while on the mend from a right quadriceps bruise. His next opportunity to take the court will arrive Friday against Golden State.

Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Questionable for Wednesday
Rotowire
Coulibaly is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Jazz due to right retrocalcaneal bursitis.
Coulibaly logged 29 minutes Sunday against the Knicks and didn't show any signs of injury, so it's not clear when the issue popped up. The Wizards should have another update on his availability closer to game time.

Wizards' Jaden Hardy: Strong line off bench
Rotowire
Hardy logged 25 points (9-18 FG, 7-13 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist across 29 minutes during Sunday's 145-113 loss to the Knicks.
This game was over in a hurry, so Hardy was able to take advantage of some garbage time. He's trending up over his last seven games, posting averages of 13.3 points, 1.4 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 3.0 three-pointers in 22.1 minutes per contest.

Wizards' Leaky Black: Limited production in return
Rotowire
Black (ankle) tallied three points (1-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 17 minutes Sunday in the Wizards' 145-113 loss to the Knicks.
A left ankle sprain kept Black from playing in each of the Wizards' last four games, but he was able to return to action Sunday to provide a boost to a Washington squad that was without nine players. Black ended up seeing the second-fewest minutes of anybody in the Wizards' nine-man rotation, finishing ahead of only Tristan Vukcevic (15 minutes), who exited the contest early due to back tightness. Washington will get Justin Champagnie back from suspension for Wednesday's game in Utah, and players such as Alex Sarr (toe) and Tre Johnson (foot) could be ready to return and might bump Black out of the rotation as a result. Black has limited availability due to his status as a two-way player and is eligible to play in nine of the Wizards' remaining 11 contests.

Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Posts loaded line in loss
Rotowire
Coulibaly closed with 13 points (5-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, two assists, two blocks and three steals in 29 minutes during Sunday's 145-113 loss to the Knicks.
Coulibaly didn't have his best scoring performance, but he still delivered solid fantasy value by recording at least two tallies in each of the five major categories while logging under 30 minutes. The Frenchman has been a bit inconsistent in the scoring column, but that won't matter much if he delivers value elsewhere. Over his last six games, Coulibaly is averaging 17.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.2 blocks per game while shooting 48.1 percent from three-point range.

Wizards' Bub Carrington: Struggles with three-point shot
Rotowire
Carrington contributed 14 points (4-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-8 FT), one rebound, eight assists and two steals over 34 minutes during Sunday's 145-113 loss to the Knicks.
Carrington has scored in double digits in his four appearances since returning to the starting lineup March 17, but he's been up and down with his three-point shooting over that span. The Pittsburgh standout, who's shooting a career-best 39.2 percent from deep in 2025-26, might be making 48 percent of his threes over that aforementioned four-game stretch, but in that span, he's gone 1-for-4 (vs. New York) and 1-for-6 (vs. Detroit) from beyond the arc. The numbers are strong on the surface, but the game-to-game performances are inconsistent, ultimately limiting his upside as a reliable long-range option.
