Jamir Watkins - Ruled out for Sunday Watkins (ankle/foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact Watkins will miss a third consecutive contest due to a sprained left foot and ankle. His next opportunity to play will come Tuesday in Miami. With the rookie second-rounder sidelined, Will Riley, Justin Champagnie and Leaky Black are candidates for increased minutes.

Alex Sarr - Set to return Sunday Sarr (hamstring) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact Sarr has been rehabbing from a right hamstring strain that caused him to miss 10 consecutive games from mid-February. His absence from the injury report indicates that he's progressed enough in his recovery to return Sunday, and if he moves back into the starting lineup, then Julian Reese will likely revert to a rotational role on the bench.

Bilal Coulibaly - Efficient scoring night in loss Coulibaly amassed 17 points (7-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists and three steals in 34 minutes during Thursday's 122-112 loss to the Jazz.

Impact Coulibaly was one of the few bright spots for Washington on Thursday, finishing as the team's second-leading scorer while missing only three shots from the field. Perhaps more importantly for fantasy managers, the 21-year-old forward logged 34 minutes, which marks his highest workload since early February, and chipped in on the defensive end with a team-high three steals. While the Wizards' rotation has been notoriously unpredictable lately, Coulibaly's ability to provide across-the-board production keeps him firmly on the radar in standard 12-team leagues.

Tre Johnson - Comes close to double-double Johnson registered 15 points (5-13 FG, 5-9 3Pt), eight rebounds, two assists and one steal over 20 minutes during Thursday's 122-112 loss to the Jazz.

Impact Johnson finished just two boards shy of recording a double-double, and the rookie out of Texas continues to deliver solid, yet unspectacular, performances as the season progresses. This was a bounce-back performance for Johnson as well, as he hadn't scored in double digits since Feb. 26, snapping a three-game streak in which he couldn't score more than nine points.

Julian Reese - Records monster double-double Reese ended with 18 points (5-7 FG, 8-8 FT), 20 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Thursday's 122-112 loss to Utah.

Impact Reese's performances have been trending in the right direction. He came close to posting a double-double in the loss to the Magic on March 3, finishing with nine points and eight rebounds, but he bested those numbers by a massive margin in this loss. It's been only three appearances, but Reese is making a strong case to remain with the Wizards despite signing a two-way deal on Feb. 28, especially considering the lack of depth the Wizards have in the frontcourt right now.

Trae Young - Limited impact in Wizards debut Young posted 12 points (4-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-6 FT), two rebounds, six assists and two steals across 19 minutes during Thursday's 122-112 loss to Utah.

Impact Young played with the Wizards for the first time in his career, and while his stat line could've been better had he played more time, he was limited to a mere 19 minutes. Young struggled with his shot from three-point range, but some rust was expected given this was his first game since late Dec. 27, and only his 11th game in the current campaign. Young is expected to remain in the starting lineup for the upcoming games, though he's likely to continue playing under a minutes restriction.
