Good to go Tuesday Neto (groin) is available for Tuesday's game against the Rockets, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

Impact The 28-year-old sat out Washington's return to play Sunday but is ready to go for Tuesday's contest. Neto should operate as the Wizards' backup point guard, and he could see significant run since six players are out due to the COVID-19 protocols and Russell Westbrook is on a minutes restriction "in the mid-20s."

Questionable Tuesday Neto (groin) is considered questionable for Tuesday's game in Houston, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

Impact A groin issue kept Neto out of Sunday's loss to the Spurs, but there's hope that he'll be able to return as the Wizards head into the first night of a back-to-back set. All six Wizards players currently in the league's health and safety protocols -- Ish Smith, Davis Bertans, Moritz Wagner, Troy Brown, Rui Hachimura and Deni Avdija -- have already been ruled out of Tuesday's contest.

Ruled out Sunday Neto (groin) won't play Sunday against San Antonio, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

Impact Neto suffered a groin strain during Friday's practice that will force him to miss Sunday's contest against the Spurs. Jerome Robinson could see increased run in Neto's absence.

Questionable for Sunday Neto (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Spurs, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

Impact After missing Saturday's practice with a groin strain he suffered on Friday, Neto is officially questionable for Sunday's matchup with San Antonio. Jerome Robinson could see a bump in minutes if Neto sits.

Doesn't practice Saturday Neto (groin) didn't practice Saturday, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

Impact Neto didn't take the floor Saturday after suffering a groin strain during Friday's practice. He wasn't listed on the injury report for Friday's postponed game against the Bucks, but it's not yet clear whether he'll be able to take part in Sunday's contest against San Antonio.

Not on injury report Neto (groin) is not listed on the injury report.

Impact Neto suffered a groin strain during Friday's practice but appears to be no worse for the wear in terms of Sunday's contest against the Spurs. He gets a couple of extra days to rest the injury anyway with Friday's contest against the Bucks called off.

Dealing with groin strain Neto suffered a groin strain during Friday's practice, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

Impact Friday's game against the Bucks has already been postponed, but Neto's availability for Sunday's matchup with the Spurs is now in question. The Wizards are already without six players due to the health and safety protocols, so any additional injuries are increasingly damaging to the team's outlook. Washington hasn't played a game since Jan. 11.

Matchup with Bucks postponed Neto and the Wizards won't play the Bucks on Friday after the game was postponed, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact It's the sixth straight postponement for Washington while the team attempts to return from a COVID-19 outbreak. The Wizards haven't played a game since Jan. 11, and the next chance to take the court will be Sunday against the Spurs.

Offers secondary scoring in start Neto posted 16 points (7-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT), two assists and two rebounds in 25 minutes Tuesday in the Wizards' 128-107 win over the Suns.

Impact Neto was making his fourth start of the season in place of Westbrook, and he should be in line for at least a couple more turns with the top unit since the point guard is tending to a quadriceps injury and isn't expected to be re-evaluated until late in the week. While the Brazilian turned some heads with a 22-point, five-assist, four-rebound outing in his first start in place of Westbrook back on Dec. 27, Neto's returns have been more modest in his subsequent three starts. He's played between 20 and 25 minutes in each of those games, essentially splitting point-guard duties with Ish Smith.

Starting in Westbrook's absence Neto will start Saturday's game against the Heat, Chris Miller of NBC Sports Washington reports.

Impact With Russell Westbrook (quad) shelved, Neto will draw the start Saturday. In two previous appearances without Westbrook, Neto averaged 27 minutes and 30.7 fantasy points.

Shifts back to bench Neto will come off the bench Sunday against the Nets, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

Impact Russell Westbrook (rest) sat out the second half of the back-to-back set Friday, so Neto received the start and had 12 points (5-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt), two assists and two steals in 22 minutes. The 28-year-old is averaging 7.5 points and 1.3 rebounds in 14.0 minutes in his four appearances off the bench this season.

Starting Friday Neto will start Friday's game against the Timberwolves with Russell Westbrook resting, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

Impact Neto did the same when Westbrook sat out against Orlando earlier in the week and finished with 22 points, five assists, four rebounds and three steals in 32 minutes. He returned to the bench for the Wizards' last two games and is coming off of a 15-point, four-rebound, three-steal effort in 22 minutes Thursday night against Chicago.

Posts well-rounded, efficient line Neto tallied 15 points (5-7 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three steals and one assist across 22 minutes off the bench Thursday in the Wizards' 133-130 loss to the Bulls.

Impact The 0-5 Wizards have been one of the league's early disappointments, but Neto's performance through the first five games has been a silver lining. Neto has shot efficiently (55.6 percent from the field, 40 percent from three-point range) while filling out the stat sheet nicely (10.4 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.2 steals per game) in his 17.6 minutes per contest. With Russell Westbrook expected to rest Friday in Minnesota for the second leg of the back-to-back set, Neto should slot into the starting backcourt alongside Bradley Beal. He'll make for a nice streamer in season-long leagues with daily lineup changes, as well as an intriguing value play in DFS contests.

Returns to bench Neto is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Bulls, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

Impact The 28-year-old put up 22 points (10-17 FG, 2-8 3PT), five assists, four rebounds and three steals while starting in place of Russell Westbrook (rest) Sunday, but Westbrook is back in action Tuesday. Neto averaged 6.5 points in 9.5 minutes off the bench in the first two games of the season and should return to that role.

Puts up 22 and five in start Neto had 22 points (10-17 FG, 2-8 3PT), five assists, four rebounds and three steals in Sunday's loss to the Magic.

Impact Starting in place of Russell Westbrook (rest), Neto took advantage of the opportunity, putting up an impressive all-around line in his 32 minutes. Neto played just 19 total minutes off the bench in the Wizards' first two games, however, so he's not much of a fantasy contributor when Westbrook is active.

Starting in place of Westbrook Neto will get the start Sunday against the Magic with Russell Westbrook resting, Chase Hughes of NBC Sports Washington reports.

Impact It's the second night of a back-to-back for Washington, so Westbrook will take a seat, while Neto slides into the lineup at point guard. Neto played only nine minutes off the bench Saturday night, but he drilled three three-pointers and finished with 11 points.

DECEMBER 27, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Likely starter at point guard Sunday Neto is expected to start at point guard in Sunday's game against the Magic, Chris Miller of NBC Sports Washington reports.

Impact Washington is holding Russell Westbrook out for rest purposes in the second half of a back-to-back set, allowing Neto to pick up his first start of 2020-21. While the starting assignment likely means that Neto will pick up the majority of the playing time at point guard, Ish Smith will presumably have a more pronounced role on the second unit than Neto typically does when Westbrook is playing. That said, the prospect of a sizable increase in playing time -- Neto hasn't played more than 10 minutes in either of Washington's first two games -- gives the 28-year-old some appeal as a punt play in DFS.

Starting Sunday's exhibition Neto is starting Sunday's preseason game against the Nets, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports.

Impact Russell Westbrook (rest) and Ish Smith (lower body) are sitting out the preseason opener, so Neto will receive the starting nod. Neto averaged 5.1 points, 1.8 assists and 1.1 rebounds in 12.4 minutes for the Sixers last season, and he should operate as the Wizards' No. 3 point guard for the 2020-21 campaign.
