Rui Hachimura - Incredibly inefficient night Hachimura contributed nine points (4-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one block over 27 minutes during Monday's 132-112 loss to New Orleans.

Impact Hachimura led the Washington bench with 27 minutes but still managed only nine points and very little peripheral production. It's been an inconsistent season for the young forward, and he just isn't reliable enough to count on for more than a streaming spot for points or rebounds on occasion.

Monte Morris - One assist shy of double-double Morris racked up 13 points (6-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt), one rebound and nine assists in 27 minutes during Monday's 132-112 loss to the Pelicans.

Impact It was an efficient night scoring and distributing for Morris, who added a team-high nine dimes. This was a typical line for the former Nugget, who is usually good for a handful of points and some solid assists, but other than that, he doesn't normally provide much peripheral production. In 36 games this season, he's averaging 9.9 points, 5.4 assists, 3.4 rebounds and 0.8 steals per contest.

Kristaps Porzingis - Paces team with 23 points Porzingis posted 23 points (8-16 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds and one assist over 34 minutes during Monday's 132-112 loss to the Pelicans.

Impact Porzingis bounced back after a subpar shooting performance in his previous outing. His 23 points and 10 boards both led the team Monday, and it marked his second consecutive double-double. However, it was also his second straight game without any defensive stats to help boost his overall value. Since the start of January (four games), the Latvian center has seen a slight drop in just about every single category.

Kristaps Porzingis - Inefficient night in loss Porzingis racked up 14 points (3-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 8-10 FT) and 10 rebounds over 25 minutes during Friday's 127-110 loss to the Thunder.

Impact Porzingis has been prone to some off nights shooting this season, and Friday was one of them. He made just three of his eleven attempts. He did sink eight of 10 free throws, getting him to 14 points to go along with 10 boards, helping him secure his first double-double of 2023.

Kyle Kuzma - Another solid outing in loss Kuzma totaled 23 points (7-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Friday's 127-110 loss to the Thunder.

Impact Kuzma put in another well-rounded performance on Friday, cleaning the glass five times and dishing out seven dimes, to go along with 23 points. He also managed his first takeaway over his last four contests. However, he did commit six turnovers.
