Analysis: Coulibaly will return following a five-game absence, which could result in Bub Carrington moving to the bench. Even if he's not running with the first unit, Carrington has played well enough as of late to see significant minutes off the bench.

Analysis: Tuesday's game will be the sixth that Vuk?evi? has missed due to a strained left hamstring. While his absence does not affect fantasy basketball, it does leave the Wizards down two bigs since Marvin Bagley III (back) is also out. Anthony Gill played seven minutes in Saturday's loss to the Hornets. He is not worth streaming.

Analysis: Middleton sat out Saturday's loss to the Hornets with a sore left foot, with rookie Will Riley playing 23 minutes as his replacement in the starting lineup. While Riley should have value during the silly season, Justin Champagnie is the preferred streamer if Middleton remains out. Despite coming off the bench, Champagnie logged 32 minutes on Saturday.

Analysis: Coulibaly has missed Washington's last five games with a lower back strain, resulting in Bub Carrington moving into the starting lineup. While he may be pushed back to the bench if Coulibaly returns on Tuesday, Carrington will still play plenty.

Analysis: Tuesday's game is the third straight that Bagley has missed, with the last two being due to a strained lower back. With Tristan Vuk?evi? (hamstring) also out, Anthony Gill may pick up a few rotation minutes off the bench. He is not worth streaming.

Analysis: Khris Middleton missed Saturday's game with a foot injury with Will Riley replacing him in the starting lineup. Champagnie outplayed Riley, though, and ended up playing more minutes off the bench. The 24-year-old shooting guard had a double-double with 15 points and 11 rebounds in 32 minutes. Champagnie has provided eighth-round per game value over the last two weeks, showing he has some fantasy value in the sixth man role with the Wizards.

Analysis: Middleton was listed as questionable initially, but has since been ruled out with left foot soreness. In his absence, Justin Champagnie could slide into the starting lineup with Will Riley picking up rotation minutes off the bench.

Analysis: This will be a fifth straight absence for Vuk?evi?, but that typically doesn't impact Washington's rotation. However, with Marvin Bagley also sidelined, Vuk?evi? would've filled the backup minutes if available. That role will now fall to Anthony Gill.

Analysis: This will be a second straight absence for Bagley, though the first one was due to an illness. Tristan Vuk?evi? (hamstring) is also out, so Anthony Gill will fill out the backup center minutes. Gill isn't worth streaming.

Analysis: Middleton had previously been dealing with a knee injury, but now it is a foot issue that is giving him trouble. If he isn't available against Charlotte, Justin Champagnie would likely slide into the starting lineup, with Will Riley taking on extra minutes off the bench.

Analysis: Coulibaly will miss a fifth straight game, and he has immediately been ruled out instead of being listed as questionable at first, which can be a sign that a player could be a little further away from returning. Bub Carrington should continue to start in his stead.

Analysis: Bagley and Tristan Vukcevic are both out on Thursday, which means the Wizards don't have a true backup center. Then again, it might not matter on Thursday since the Nuggets are also without their only two centers. Jamir Watkins could see minutes as the backup big man, and Khris Middleton could also spend extra time at power forward or as the big man in smaller lineups.

Analysis: Middleton had been questionable with an illness, but he seems healthy enough to suit up. It remains to be seen how many minutes ge does play, but he could push Bub Carrington to the bench if the Wizards wanted to play a bigger lineup.

Analysis: This will be Coulibaly's fourth straight missed game. The 21-year-old has only played in 25 games this season as he's battled multiple injuries. Bub Carrington should continue to start with Justin Champagnie playing the sixth man role off the bench.

Analysis: Vuk?evi? will be inactive for a fourth consecutive game as he recovers from a strained left hamstring. His absence does not affect fantasy basketball.

Analysis: Bagley's status is more impactful, as he serves as Alex Sarr's backup while Johnson is not in the Wizards' rotation on most nights. With Tristan Vuk?evi? (hamstring) out, the Wizards would have to go small if Bagley doesn't play. However, neither he nor Johnson moves the needle in fantasy basketball.

Analysis: Middleton is one of three Wizards players listed as questionable for Thursday's game due to illness. However, he's the only one who's a lock to start if available. Who would replace Middleton in the lineup may depend on Bilal Coulibaly, who's questionable with a lower back strain. If Coulibaly can play after a three-game absence, the Wizards could go small and keep Bub Carrington in the starting five.

Analysis: Coulibaly has missed Washington's last three games with a lower back strain, opening up a spot in the starting lineup for Bub Carrington. The second-year guard should remain in the starting five if Coulibaly has to miss a fourth consecutive game.

Analysis: Vuk?evi? will miss a third consecutive game with a knee injury. His continued absence does not affect the Wizards' rotation, as Alex Sarr and Marvin Bagley III are healthy.

Analysis: Coulibaly injured his back during Wednesday's loss to the Clippers and will not be available for Monday's rematch, making it three consecutive games on the sidelines. Bub Carrington has started the last two games and should remain in that role, raising his fantasy ceiling.
