Sharife Cooper - Pops for 14 off bench Saturday Cooper had 14 points (5-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and three assists in 29 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 127-113 loss to the Nets.
Impact One game after scoring a career-high 18 points against the Pistons, Cooper came through with another strong performance from the second unit for the shorthanded Wizards. The second-year guard has played at least 13 minutes in five straight games, but his role will shrink once the likes of Kyshawn George (knee) and Tre Johnson (ankle) are cleared to return.

Justin Champagnie - 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.

Will Riley - Scores career-high 27 points Riley generated 27 points (10-19 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists, three steals and one block across 45 minutes of Saturday's 127-113 loss to Brooklyn.
Impact The Wizards had just eight players available Saturday, allowing for Riley to make his second career start. He played 15 more minutes than his previous career high, and his 27 points were also a new best. Riley has etched out a steady role with the Wizards as a rookie, and he's now scored in double figures in five consecutive games. In 43 appearances this season, Riley is averaging 7.0 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists across 16.2 minutes.

Nets score 80 points in the first half and beat the short-handed Wizards 127-113

Michael Porter Jr. scored 23 points and the Brooklyn Nets used an 80-point first half to beat the short-handed Washington Wizards 127-113 on Saturday
FEBRUARY 7 • Associated Press
Will Riley - Starting vs. Brooklyn Riley will start against the Nets on Saturday.
Impact The Wizards have only eight players available for the front end of this back-to-back set, so Riley will join the starting five for the second time this season and should see significant minutes. The rookie first-rounder has scored in double figures in four straight games, averaging 17.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.8 steals across 27.3 minutes per game during that span.
FEBRUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE
Tristan Vukcevic - Gets starting nod Vukcevic will start Saturday's game against the Nets.
Impact Alex Sarr is sitting out with ankle soreness for the front end of this back-to-back set. Vukcevic is on the streaming radar for Saturday, and he's coming off a solid showing Thursday against Detroit with 14 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal across 11 minutes.
FEBRUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE
Jamir Watkins - Draws start Saturday Watkins is in the Wizards' starting lineup against the Nets on Saturday.
Impact Several Wizards players are unavailable for Saturday's contest due to injury or with trades pending, so Watkins will enter Washington's starting lineup for the third time this season. The rookie-second rounder spent most of the early portion of the season in the G League but has established a consistent role for himself off the bench as of late. Watkins has averaged 5.2 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.5 steals over 22.3 minutes per game over his last 10 outings.

Kyshawn George - Ruled out Saturday George (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Nets.
Impact George will miss the front end of this back-to-back set due to a right knee contusion. His next opportunity to play will come Sunday against Miami. The Wizards will be extremely shorthanded against Brooklyn, meaning Will Riley, Jamir Watkins and Sharife Cooper should see increased playing time.
FEBRUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE
Alex Sarr - Won't play Saturday Sarr (ankle) is out for Saturday's game against the Nets.
Impact The Wizards are sitting multiple players Saturday for the first leg of this back-to-back set. The franchise has been cautious with all their key players in recent weeks, and that's a trend that is likely to continue. Tristan Vukcevic, Anthony Gill and Will Riley could all see more run as a result Saturday.
FEBRUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE
Bilal Coulibaly - Not playing Saturday Coulibaly (lower back) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Nets.
Impact Coulibaly is dealing with lower-back soreness that will prevent him from playing Saturday, and he'll work toward being available for the second leg of the Wizards' back-to-back set Sunday against the Heat. The Wizards have multiple players sidelined due to injuries or having being recently acquired before the trade deadline, so Bub Carrington, Sharify Cooper, Jamir Watkins, Justin Champagnie and others are slated for increased roles against Brooklyn.
