Tristan Vukcevic - Tallies five steals in win Vukcevic finished with 12 points (4-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist, one block and five steals in 17 minutes during Thursday's 112-105 win over the Pacers.

Impact Despite playing just 17 minutes, Vukcevic rewarded anyone who snapped him up, recording a career-high five steals. While the production was encouraging, the fact that he started and yet played so few minutes is concerning. It appears as though Washington is going to continue openly tanking, which is not the news fantasy managers want to hear. He remains a must-roster player, at least until we get some clarity regarding Alex Sarr (calf). However, it seems unlikely he will play anything close to starter-level minutes.

Will Riley - Only four minutes Thursday Riley amassed six points (2-2 FG, 2-3 FT) in four minutes during Thursday's 112-105 victory over the Pacers.

Impact As the league attempts to limit the tanking epidemic, Washington appears as though it missed the memo. The rotations continue to baffle even the most knowledgeable of fans, making fantasy value almost impossible to project. Seen as an up-and-coming prospect, common sense tells us that Riley should be playing a sizeable role. However, he logged just four minutes in the win, despite hitting both of his shot attempts. Given what we saw Thursday, trusting anyone on this roster could end up being a recipe for disaster.

Kyshawn George - Limited in win George supplied six points (3-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 19 minutes during Thursday's 112-105 win over the Pacers.

Impact George logged fewer than 25 minutes for the fifth time in his past six appearances, raising some doubt as to his overall fantasy appeal. Despite putting together what could be considered a breakout campaign, it appears as though George's playing time could be limited for the run home. For now, he warrants a roster spot in most leagues. However, managers will want to keep an eye on his minutes moving forward, as he could eventually become a disposable asset.

Until Young is finally ready to suit up again,Bub Carrington and Tre Johnson should continue to see a boost in ball-handling responsibilities on the other side of the All-Star break.
