Charlotte Hornets vs Washington Wizards - Full Game Highlights | February 8, 2023 NBA Season
FEBRUARY 9, 2023 โ€ข YOUTUBE
Corey Kispert - Moves to bench Kispert isn't in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game versus Charlotte, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
Impact Kispert will be replaced by Bradley Beal in the starting five Wednesday. The second-year guard has started in 14 of the Wizards' last 20 games and is averaging 9.8 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 26.8 minutes over that span.

Delon Wright - Draws start Wednesday Wright will start Wednesday's game versus the Hornets, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
Impact Wright will receive a spot start at point guard with Monte Morris sidelined, likely enhancing his fantasy value slightly. Even if he sees a bit more run Wednesday, he's not a major offensive contributor, reaching double digits in the scoring column just three times all season and finishing with five points over 26 minutes in his only other start.
FEBRUARY 8, 2023 โ€ข ROTOWIRE
Bradley Beal - Will play Wednesday Beal (foot) will play Wednesday against the Hornets.
Impact Beal is back after a two-game absence, and with Kyle Kuzma (ankle) unavailable, Beal and Kristaps Porzingis will be very busy on offense. There's been no word on any minutes restrictions for Beal, so he's safe to fire up in all season-long settings.
FEBRUARY 8, 2023 โ€ข ROTOWIRE
Monte Morris - Out Wednesday Morris (back) is out Wednesday against the Hornets, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
Impact Back tightness will force Morris to miss his first game since Jan. 25, and Kyle Kuzma (ankle) will be sidelined too. In Morris' absence, more minutes should be available for Delon Wright, Kendrick Nunn and Jordan Goodwin.
FEBRUARY 8, 2023 โ€ข ROTOWIRE
Kyle Kuzma - Ruled out Wednesday Kuzma (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Hornets, Chase Hughes of NBC Sports Washington reports.
Impact Kuzma was unable to participate in Tuesday's practice session and will be forced to miss a second consecutive game due to the left ankle injury that he sustained Saturday against the Nets. Deni Avdija, Will Barton and Anthony Gill should continue to see increased run against Charlotte, while Kuzma will have a few days to rest before Saturday's matchup against Indiana.

Monte Morris - Deemed questionable Wednesday Morris has been added to the injury report as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Hornets due to back tightness, Chase Hughes of NBC Sports Washington reports.
Impact Morris wasn't listed on the initial injury report, so it seems the issue surfaced over the last 24 hours. That generally doesn't bode well regarding players' statuses for the game, so it will be worth monitoring Morris leading up to the 7 PM ET opening tipoff. If Morris can't play, Delon Wright, Kendrick Nunn and Jordan Goodwin would be candidates for added run, and Bradley Beal (foot), if available, could see additional time on the ball.

Vernon Carey Jr. - Scores 18 with 10 boards Carey had 18 points (8-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds and an assist across 24 minutes in Saturday's overtime loss to the Mad Ants.
Impact Carey has been one of the best players for the Go-Go during the current season, and he showed it again here with a strong performance on both ends of the court. He's not expected to have a shot at an NBA contract any time soon, but for now, he continues to thrive at the G League level.

Daniel Gafford - Puts up quality line in loss Gafford finished with 11 points (5-6 FG, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, three blocks and one assist in 24 minutes in Tuesday's 114-91 loss to the Cavaliers.
Impact After delivering a 10-point, 10-rebound double-double in the Wizards' previous game Saturday against the Nets, Gafford came away with an even more fantasy-friendly performance Tuesday due to his stronger production in the blocks category. Occasional bouts with foul trouble and minor injuries have made it difficult for Gafford to consistently reach 30 minutes, but the Wizards appear committed to using him in the frontcourt alongside floor-stretching big man Kristaps Porzingis. Barring any major additions to the Washington frontcourt ahead of Thursday's trade deadline, Gafford should be an excellent producer in the blocks, field-goal percentage and rebounds categories the rest of the way.
FEBRUARY 7, 2023 โ€ข ROTOWIRE
Anthony Gill - Makes return Monday Gill (COVID-19 protocols) played 21 minutes and finished with six points (2-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist in Monday's 114-91 loss to the Cavaliers.
Impact Following a four-game stint in the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols, Gill was cleared to play ahead of the Wizards' three-game Week 17 slate. Due to the absences of Bradley Beal (foot) and Kyle Kuzma (ankle), Gill ended up playing a healthy amount of minutes off the bench, but the 30-year-old may be in store for a decreased role Wednesday against the Hornets if at least one of the two injured players returns to action.
FEBRUARY 7, 2023 โ€ข ROTOWIRE
Corey Kispert - Struggles with shot versus Cavs Kispert supplied two points (1-7 FG, 0-5 3Pt), one rebound and one assist over 26 minutes during Monday's 114-91 loss to the Cavaliers.
Impact Kispert's main asset from a fantasy perspective is his three-point shooting, so he's not much of a help when he fails to knock down any of his attempts like he did Monday. The effort marks his lowest output since he played just 11 minutes versus Oklahoma City on Nov. 11, and he supplemented it with just one board and one assist. Kispert's shot volume and minutes were on par, and the Wizards struggled to score on the whole, so this isn't a worrisome outcome for him moving forward and should be primarily viewed as a blip on the radar.

Kyle Kuzma - Iffy for Wednesday Kuzma (ankle) didn't practice Tuesday and will be listed as questionable for Wednesday's game versus Charlotte, Ava Wallace of The Washington Post reports.
Impact While Kuzma wasn't able to go through drills with his healthy teammates at Tuesday's practice, he's expected to go through some individual work. That said, the fact that Kuzma isn't a full participant in Tuesday's session isn't a good sign with regard to his status for Wednesday's game. If Kuzma is forced to spend another game on the sideline, Deni Avdija or Corey Kispert will likely draw another start, and the Wizards could have more minutes available off the bench for Anthony Gill.
FEBRUARY 7, 2023 โ€ข ROTOWIRE
Bradley Beal - Questionable for Wednesday Wizards head coach Wes Unseld Jr. said Beal (foot) practiced Tuesday and will be listed as questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the Hornets, Ava Wallace of The Washington Post...
Impact Beal has missed the past two games, but he wasn't ruled out for Monday's eventual loss to the Cavaliers until after getting through his pregame routine. With that in mind, Beal's ability to participate in Tuesday's practice without issue is encouraging. If Beal can return for Wednesday's game, one of Corey Kispert or Deni Avdija will likely head to the bench, with the other presumably sticking in the starting five if Kyle Kuzma (ankle) -- who was limited at practice Tuesday and is being listed as questionable -- isn't able to play.

'These guys came to play right away': What the Washington Wizards are saying about the Cavs Six Cavs scored in double figures, including the entire starting five by halftime in Monday's dominant victory.
FEBRUARY 7, 2023 โ€ข CLEVELAND.COM
Will Barton - Solid showing off bench Barton racked up 15 points (6-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds and one steal over 27 minutes off the bench during Monday's 114-91 loss to the Cavaliers.
Impact The veteran wing was the only member of Washington's second unit to score in double digits on the night. Barton had been a DNP - Coach's Decision for four straight games and eight of the last 10 prior to Monday, but it's not clear whether his return to the rotation was to showcase him for a possible trade or simply due to a lack of other options with Bradley Beal (foot) sidelined.
FEBRUARY 7, 2023 โ€ข ROTOWIRE
Kristaps Porzingis - Leading scorer in Monday's loss Porzingis logged a team-high 18 points (7-13 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one block across 26 minutes during Monday's 114-91 loss to the Cavaliers.
Impact The short-handed Wizards were missing Bradley Beal (foot) and were simply overmatched in this one, as every Cleveland starter had scored in double digits by halftime en route to a 20-point lead for the visitors. Porzingis has missed a handful of games in the last month but has been productive when on the court, scoring in double digits in 15 straight games dating back to late December and averaging 23.6 points, 7.9 boards, 2.3 threes, 2.2 assists and 1.7 blocks over that stretch.
