Drops 14 points in return Champagnie produced 14 points (5-8 FG, 4-6 3Pt), two rebounds and two steals across 15 minutes during Tuesday's 119-98 loss to the Hawks.

Impact Champagnie returned from a one-game absence, scoring 14 points in 15 minutes off the bench. While his knee issue only ended up costing him the one game, it certainly sets the table for future absences, should Washington opt to go that way. Based on what we have seen over the past two weeks, Champagnie is going to be a hard player to trust, other than as a potential streaming candidate, if and when he is available.

Impact Champagnie got the starting nod Friday but logged just under 11 minutes before exiting the contest. He should be considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Hornets until Washington offers an update on his status.

FEBRUARY 21 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Friday Champagnie is in the Wizards' starting lineup against the Pacers on Friday.

Impact Champagnie was a healthy DNP for Thursday's win over the Pacers, but he'll be back in action for the Wizards on Friday due to the absence of Kyshawn George (toe). Champagnie averaged 15.0 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.8 threes and 1.0 steals over 21.5 minutes per game over his last four outings.

FEBRUARY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Drops out of rotation Thursday Champagnie (coach's decision) went unused off the bench in Thursday's 112-105 win over the Pacers.

Impact After playing at least 15 minutes in each of Washington's last five games while provided well-rounded production (12.4 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.4 three-pointers 1.2 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.8 blocks per contest), Champagnie was surprisingly dropped from the rotation Thursday. At this point in the season, the 15-39 Wizards' main objective is seemingly to improve their odds in the draft lottery, which will make it difficult to predict their nightly rotations down the stretch. With that in mind, Champagnie looks like he'll make for a risky streaming option, given that his minutes and spot in the rotation are likely to be extremely volatile the rest of the way.

FEBRUARY 20 • ROTOWIRE

Coming off bench Wednesday Champagnie isn't part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Cleveland.

Impact Champagnie's streak of three consecutive starts will come to a close as the Wizards trot out a lineup of Bub Carrington, Tre Johnson, Kyshawn George, Bilal Coulibaly and Jamir Watkins. With Alex Sarr (hamstring) and Tristan Vukcevic (illness) sidelined, Champagnie will likely be tasked with plenty of playing time despite the reserve role.

FEBRUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Hits for season-high 21 in loss Champagnie ended with 21 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 10-10 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 22 minutes during Saturday's 127-113 loss to the Nets.

Impact Making his second straight start for the shorthanded Wizards, Champagnie produced a new season scoring high thanks to an impressive performance at the free-throw line, while just missing his fourth double-double of the campaign. The fifth-year forward has scored in double digits in six of his last 11 games (four starts), averaging 10.4 points, 6.0 boards, 1.3 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.9 threes in 23.1 minutes a contest over that stretch.

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.

FEBRUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact With Khris Middleton back in the lineup following a one-game absence due to maintenance reasons, Champagnie will slide to the second unit. Over 12 outings off the bench in January, he averaged 10.3 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.0 steals in 23.4 minutes per game.

FEBRUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

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).

JANUARY 30 • ROTOWIRE

Double-double in Saturday's loss Champagnie totaled 15 points (7-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt), 11 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and three steals in 32 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 119-115 loss to Charlotte.

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.
