Scores 14 points in start Champagnie chipped in 14 points (5-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one block over 15 minutes during Thursday's 126-117 victory over Detroit.

Impact Champagnie stepped into the starting lineup following the departure of Khris Middleton and posted a decent shooting line despite being limited to 15 minutes. However, Will Riley, Sharife Cooper, Anthony Gill and Jamir Watkins all saw significantly more playing time than Champagnie on a night in which the Wizards were thin across the board, so it'll be worth monitoring whether he sticks in the starting five moving forward.

Starting Thursday Champagnie will start Thursday versus the Pistons.

Impact With Khris Middleton getting shipped off to Dallas, Champagnie could emerge as a trade deadline winner if he's able to secure his spot in the Wizards' starting lineup. Over 11 starts this season, Champagnie has recorded averages of 8.7 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 0.9 triples per contest on 51/35/80 shooting splits.

Not starting Sunday Champagnie won't start Sunday's game against the Kings.

Starting Friday vs. Lakers Champagnie is in the Wizards' starting lineup against the Lakers on Friday, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.

Impact Champagnie will enter the Wizards' starting lineup Friday for the 11th time this season due to the absence of Khris Middleton (knee). Champagnie has averaged 9.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.1 steals over 24.3 minutes per game over his last 10 outings (one start).

Impact The double-double was the third of the season for Champagnie, with the last one coming Dec. 28 against the Grizzlies. The fifth-year forward has been a big part of the Wizards' rotation in January, and he's played more than 20 minutes in nine of the last 10 games (two starts) while averaging 10.5 points, 6.4 boards, 1.9 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.9 threes in 24.6 minutes a contest.

Just misses double-double off bench Champagnie closed Saturday's 121-115 loss to Denver with 13 points (6-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and three steals over 26 minutes off the bench.

Impact Moving back to the second unit after getting a spot start Friday, Champagnie stayed productive and nearly produced his third double-double of the season. The fifth-year forward has scored in double digits in eight of his last 12 games (two starts), averaging 11.4 points, 7.3 boards, 1.3 assists, 1.0 threes, 0.8 steals and 0.8 blocks in 24.8 minutes during that span.

JANUARY 18 • ROTOWIRE

Headed to bench Champagnie will come off the bench for Saturday's game in Denver.

Impact Khris Middleton is back from his rest day, so Champagnie will return to a reserve role. As a member of the second unit this season, Champagnie owns averages of 6.4 points and 5.5 rebounds in 16.4 minutes per game.

JANUARY 18 • ROTOWIRE

Starting vs. Sacramento Champagnie will start against the Kings on Friday.

Impact With Khris Middleton (knee) unavailable for the front end of this back-to-back set, Champagnie will get the starting nod. Over nine starts so far this season, the 24-year-old forward has averaged 8.0 points and 5.9 rebounds in 22.3 minutes per tilt.

JANUARY 17 • ROTOWIRE

Joining second unit Friday Champagnie is not starting in Friday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact Kyshawn George (hip) is returning to action Friday, which is the likely cause for Champagnie falling into the second unit. Champagnie has averaged 11.8 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1.1 blocks and 0.8 steals in 23.9 minutes per tilt across his last eight games off the bench.

JANUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

Jumps into starting lineup Champagnie is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Philadelphia.

Impact The Wizards are without three of their five regular starters -- CJ McCollum (quadriceps), Khris Middleton (knee) and Kyshawn George (hip) -- which means Champagnie has been elevated to the starting five. He's averaging 8.3 points and 6.0 rebounds across eight starts this season.

Adds 17 points in win Champagnie racked up 17 points (6-7 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 22 minutes during Tuesday's 120-112 win over the Magic.

Impact Champagnie continues to be impactful on both ends of the court, drilling a season-high four threes and swatting two shots for the second straight game. The 24-year-old forward missed just one shot in the contest and continues to see steady run with Kyshawn George (hip) sidelined, playing 20-plus minutes in five of the past six games and scoring in double figures in five of those outings. He's averaging 12.7 points, 7.2 rebounds, 1.7 threes and 1.3 blocks across 25 minutes per game during that stretch.

Drops season-high 20 points Champagnie contributed 20 points (9-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt), seven rebounds, one block and one steal over 25 minutes during Friday's 119-99 win over the Nets.

Impact Champagnie continues to find a way to contribute, scoring double digits for the fourth straight game. Despite coming off the bench, Champagnie has been quietly putting together a strong run of production, averaging 13.3 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.5 three-pointers and 2.5 combined steals and blocks in 27.3 minutes per game over his past four appearances. His role is likely to fluctuate, at least for the foreseeable future. However, assuming Washington makes some moves prior to the trade deadline, Champagnie could be a sneaky stash candidate.
