Will Barton - Questionable against Philadelphia Barton (back) is questionable to play in Tuesday's game against the 76ers, Chase Hughes of NBC Sports Washington reports.

DECEMBER 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Deni Avdija - Considered questionable Avdija (back) is considered questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the 76ers, Chase Hughes of NBC Sports Washington reports.
Impact Avdija has missed two straight games due to back soreness and is in jeopardy of missing a third, though he doesn't appear to be at risk of any extended absence since he was a partial participant in Tuesday's practice, per Ava Wallace of The Washington Post. Will Barton, who was a late scratch Friday with back pain, is also considered questionable for Tuesday, so if both wings are sidelined again, Corey Kispert and Rui Hachimura could be called upon for extra minutes.

Embiid, Philadelphia set for matchup against Washington

Joel Embiid leads Philadelphia into a matchup against Washington averaging 33.1 points per game
DECEMBER 26, 2022 • Associated Press
Monte Morris - Perfect from line in victory Morris posted 16 points (4-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds, five assists and three steals over 33 minutes during Friday's 125-111 win over the Kings.
Impact Morris made and attempted a season-high six free throws. The 27-year-old point guard is averaging 12.5 points, 4.9 assists, 2.2 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 33.3 minutes across his last 10 games.
DECEMBER 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Rui Hachimura - Efficient in victory Hachimura accumulated 21 points (9-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt), five rebounds and four assists in 27 minutes during Friday's 125-111 victory over the Kings.
Impact Hachimura attempted a season-high 15 field-goal attempts and scored his second-most points of the campaign. The 24-year-old forward has received consistent playing time since returning from his ankle injury.

Bradley Beal drops 24 points in win over Sacramento Kings
DECEMBER 24, 2022 • YOUTUBE
Bradley Beal - Breezes to 24 points in win Beal had 24 points (10-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), one rebound, four assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Friday's 125-111 victory over the Kings.
Impact Beal finished second on Washington with 24 points, marking his fourth straight big scoring performance since returning from a six-game absence due to a hamstring injury. In the four contests since his return, the star guard is averaging 27.5 points, 4.5 assists and 3.5 rebounds per contest. Beal didn't add much in terms of peripheral stats Friday, but he helped his fantasy managers' percentages with an efficient 10-for-16 line from the field.
DECEMBER 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kristaps Porzingis - Struggles with shot in return Porzingis recorded seven points (2-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal across 34 minutes during Friday's 125-111 win over Sacramento.
Impact Porzingis missed each of Washington's previous two contests due to an illness but was able to return and log 34 minutes Friday. Whether he was suffering from lingering effects of the ailment or simply had an off night is uncertain, but his 2-for-11 mark from the field was a far cry from his season shooting percentage of 46.8. Porzingis partly made up for the poor shooting performance with a strong night on the boards, as he led the Wizards with 13 rebounds while also chipping in a pair of blocks.
DECEMBER 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kyle Kuzma - Continues to post big numbers Kuzma closed with 32 points (14-23 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and two steals over 37 minutes during Friday's 125-111 win over Sacramento.
Impact Kuzma led all players with 32 points in the contest, producing his fourth 30-plus point effort of the campaign. He contributed in other areas as well, finishing second on Washington with nine boards and tied for second with five dimes. Kuzma has scored 20-plus points 16 times in his past 18 games and is averaging 24.8 points, 7.2 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 3.0 three-pointers over that span.

Impact Kispert will head to the bench with Kristaps Porzingis back in the mix. Across nine games as a reserve, Kispert has averaged 9.1 points and 1.9 rebounds in 22.8 minutes.
DECEMBER 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kristaps Porzingis - Starting Friday Porzingis (illness) is good to go and starting in Friday's matchup with the Kings.
Impact Porzingis missed the Wizards' previous game due to an illness and subsequently drew a questionable for Friday's game. However, it looks like he is feeling good enough to give it a go. Barring any setbacks, look for him to take on his usual workload.
DECEMBER 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Deni Avdija - Downgraded to out Avdija (back) has been ruled out for Friday's contest against the Kings, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
Impact Avdija was downgraded from questionable to out due to low back soreness. Will Barton was a late scratch due to low back pain as well, so Corey Kispert, Anthony Gill and Rui Hachimura are all candidates for increased roles.

Will Barton - Won't play due to back pain Barton has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Kings due to low back pain, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
Impact Barton was a late addition to the injury report and won't play Friday due to back pain. Deni Avdija (back) is also out, so Corey Kispert, Anthony Gill and Rui Hachimura are all candidates for increased roles.
DECEMBER 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Delon Wright - Active Friday Wright (hamstring) will be available for Friday's game against the Kings.
Impact Wright has been sidelined since late October with a right hamstring strain but is slated to return to the hardwood following the lengthy absence. Considering he hasn't seen game action in nearly two months, Wright will likely be under heavy restrictions Friday. Jordan Goodwin has impressed in Wright's absence and could retain a portion of the backup point guard minutes even when Wright is up to game speed.
DECEMBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Deni Avdija - Questionable again Friday Avdija (back) is listed as questionable for Friday's tilt versus the Kings.
Impact Avdija held a questionable designation before Thursday's game versus the Jazz as well before being ruled out prior to the opening tip. Look for the team to update his status again closer to the opening tip, with Will Barton and Anthony Gill potentially in line for extra minutes if he sits again.
DECEMBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kristaps Porzingis - Questionable Friday Porzingis (illness) is questionable for Friday's game against the Kings.
Impact Porzingis has missed the last two games due to an illness, but he'll be in the mix to return for the second half of a back-to-back set Friday. If he's held out again, he'll have several days to recover before Washington's next game against Philadelphia on Tuesday.
