GAME LOG
Kristaps Porzingis - Off injury report Porzingis (back) is no longer on the injury report and will be available for Saturday's game against the Clippers.
Impact The Wizards may have their superstar duo back Saturday, with Porzingis slated to play and Bradley Beal (hamstring) logging a full practice Friday. Porzingis' return will likely send Taj Gibson back to the bench after he received a spot start on Wednesday.
DECEMBER 17, 2022 โ€ข ROTOWIRE
Rui Hachimura - Still sidelined Saturday Hachimura (ankle) will remain out for Saturday's game against the Clippers.
Impact Hachimura has been out since Nov.18 due to right ankle soreness and will remain out for Saturday's game. Anthony Gill and Deni Advija should continue to receive extended run. Hachimura's next chance to play comes on Sunday against the Lakers.
DECEMBER 17, 2022 โ€ข ROTOWIRE
Bradley Beal - Listed as questionable Beal (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Clippers.
Impact Beal has missed five straight games due to a low-grade hamstring strain, but he fully participated in practice Friday and will have a chance to suit up Saturday afternoon. The star guard's presence would certainly be a boost to the Wizards, who've lost eight straight games, but his return will likely mean less minutes for Corey Kispert, Will Barton and Jordan Goodwin.

Lakers News: Is Kyle Kuzma Pining For An L.A. Return? Twitter went ramped after Kuzma tweet from Thursday
DECEMBER 17, 2022 โ€ข CHARLOTTEOBSERVER.COM
Bradley Beal - Logs full practice Beal (hamstring) was a full participant in Friday's practice, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
Impact Beal has been sidelined since Dec. 4 after suffering a low-grade hamstring strain but is approaching a return to game action. His activity level at Friday's practice is certainly an encouraging sign for fantasy managers ahead of Saturday's game against the Clippers. When Beal returns, Corey Kispert, Will Barton and Jordan Goodwin will likely see a decrease in minutes.
DECEMBER 16, 2022 โ€ข ROTOWIRE
Kristaps Porzingis - Should play Saturday Porzingis (back) is expected to return to the lineup for Saturday's game versus the Clippers, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
Impact Porzingis' return should bring an offensive boost for the Wizards in their second tilt of a six-game west coast swing. Porzingis should reacquire his spot in the starting five, likely sending Taj Gibson back to a supporting bench role.

Washington plays Los Angeles, looks to break road losing streak

Washington looks to end its eight-game road skid with a win against Los Angeles
DECEMBER 16, 2022 โ€ข Associated Press
Daniel Gafford - Brings defense, hits glass Wednesday Gafford finished with 11 points (5-10 FG, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 26 minutes Wednesday in the Wizards' 141-128 loss to the Nuggets.
Impact With top center Kristaps Porzingis (back) sitting out, Gafford remained with the Wizards' second unit but still saw a season-high minutes count while Taj Gibson was capped at 18 minutes as the team's starting center. The Wizards haven't indicated that Porzingis' injury is more than a day-to-day concern, but Gafford should make for an interesting streaming option for field-goal percentage, rebounds and blocks for any additional games that Porzingis might miss.

Will Barton - Tallies nine dimes against ex-team Barton chipped in 22 points (7-15 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-7 FT), nine assists, two rebounds and one steal in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 141-128 loss to the Nuggets.
Impact Barton spent seven-plus seasons with Denver before joining Washington in the offseason, and he averaged more than four assists only once in that span. Thus, his nine-dime performance Wednesday was pretty unexpected, though it's worth noting that he tied a season high with seven assists in his previous contest two days ago versus Brooklyn. Barton also scored 22 points in that game, and with 44 points over his past two contests, he appears to be settling in after a rough start to his tenure with the Wizards. That being said, the Wizards were without Bradley Beal (hamstring) and Kristaps Porzingis (back) on Wednesday, so Barton won't be able to maintain this level of usage when both players are healthy.
DECEMBER 15, 2022 โ€ข ROTOWIRE
Monte Morris - Looks good in return Morris (groin) closed with 20 points (7-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven assists and one steal across 27 minutes during Wednesday's 141-128 loss to the Nuggets.
Impact Morris missed Washington's previous two contests due to a groin injury but didn't look rusty at all in his return. He knocked down four of seven three-point attempts en route to a season-high point total and chipped in seven assists while avoiding any turnovers. Morris won't have many scoring games like this, so his primary benefit to fantasy managers is in the assist department. He could take a step back in both areas, however, once Bradley Beal (hamstring) rejoins the Washington backcourt.

Kyle Kuzma - Extends 20-point streak Wednesday Kuzma ended with 24 points (9-16 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-6 FT), two rebounds and four assists across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 141-128 loss to Denver.
Impact Kuzma was the focal point offensively for Washington with Bradley Beal (hamstring) still out and Kristaps Porzingis sitting out for just the second time this season due to a back injury. Kuzma led Washington players with 24 points in the loss, extending his streak of performances with 20-plus points to six games. The veteran forward did tie a season low with just two boards, but he's making his fantasy managers happy with career-best marks in scoring, assists and three-pointers on the campaign.
