Delon Wright - Questionable for MondayWright is questionable for Monday's game against Oklahoma City due to a left quad contusion, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
ImpactWright logged his normal workload in both halves of Washington's back-to-back set Friday and Saturday, but he seemingly picked up a quad contusion along the way. Wright has settled into a 15-20 minute workload of late, which would be sprinkled between Bilal Coulibaly, Johnny Davis and Jared Butler if Wright is unable to suit up Monday.

Taj Gibson - Knicks move onGibson was waived by the Knicks on Sunday, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.
ImpactGibson's contract was set to become fully guaranteed Sunday, so cutting him represents a cost-savings move as well as a roster-flexibility move for New York. The 38-year-old averaged 1.4 points and 1.8 rebounds in 9.7 minutes across 10 appearances for the Knicks this season.

Tyus Jones - Poor shooting in defeat SaturdayJones accumulated 11 points (4-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound and eight assists across 28 minutes during Saturday's 121-105 loss to New York.
ImpactJones struggled badly from the floor and needed 13 shots to score 11 points Saturday, but he did make an impact as a playmaker, and his eight assists were the seventh time this season in which he dished out eight or more dimes. He's averaging 14.5 points, 6.1 assists, 2.9 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game since the start of December.

Deni Avdija - Puts up 23 points SaturdayAvdija finished Saturday's 121-105 loss to New York with 23 points (9-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists and two steals in 33 minutes.
ImpactAvdija recorded his third double-double over his last five outings, and he continues to deliver solid numbers on both ends of the court now that he's firmly settled in a starting role. The nature of his role should be enough to make him relevant in fantasy, and it's worth noting Avdija is averaging 12.4 points with 7.3 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 1.5 steals per game over his last 10 contests.
