GAME LOG
Kristaps Porzingis - Tabbed as questionable Friday Porzingis is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Pacers due to a left ankle sprain.
Impact Porzingis' ankle issue pops up at an unfortunate time, as he's come into his own of late, averaging 28.8 points, 10.4 boards, 2.6 assists, 1.8 blocks and 1.6 steals over the past five games. He has missed only one previous game this season. Daniel Gafford saw a season-high 25 minutes in Porzingis' lone absence, with Taj Gibson, Kyle Kuzma and Anthony Gill also being candidates to see additional run should Porzingis sit out again Friday.

Will Barton - Questionable against Indiana Barton is questionable to play in Friday's game agains the Pacers due to left foot soreness.
Impact Barton is questionable to miss his first game of the season Friday. The veteran forward has failed to reach double-digit scoring in each of his last seven games.

Deni Avdija - Well-rounded stat line in loss Avdija racked up 10 points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, six assists and four steals across 39 minutes during Wednesday's 115-111 loss to the Bulls.
Impact Avdija was benched in the second half of a game against Charlotte last week but has now played at least 25 minutes in his last two appearances. He was productive on both ends of the court Wednesday, scoring in double figures for the first time since Nov. 27 while also racking up a season-high four steals. Over his last five appearances, he's averaged 6.0 points and 5.0 rebounds in 23.6 minutes per game.

6 takeaways from the Chicago Bulls' 115-111 win over the Washington Wizards, including a powerful finish from the team's Big Three The Chicago Bulls snapped a three-game losing streak on the shoulders of their Big Three.
DECEMBER 8, 2022 • CHICAGOTRIBUNE.COM
Monte Morris - Hands out eight assists Morris produced 17 points (7-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, eight assists and one block over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 115-111 loss to the Bulls.
Impact Morris operated as the Wizards' primary playmaker with Bradley Beal (hamstring) sidelined and finished just two dimes away from posting a double-double. He's also scored in double digits in three straight outings for the first time in the current campaign. He is valuable enough to be rostered in all formats, but he'll experience an uptick in value as long as Beal remains out.
DECEMBER 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kyle Kuzma - Goes for 21 points in loss Kuzma recorded 21 points (8-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist and two steals across 38 minutes during Wednesday's 115-111 loss to the Bulls.
Impact The absence of Bradley Beal (hamstring) will likely result in a more prominent role on offense for Kuzma, but he's already been a key figure on the team even when Beal is on the floor. Over his last five games, Kuzma is averaging 21.8 points while averaging 18.8 field goal attempts per contest.
DECEMBER 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kristaps Porzingis - Extends impressive scoring streak Porzingis produced 28 points (8-17 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 12-16 FT), nine rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two steals across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 115-111 loss to Chicago.
Impact Porzingis had a more prominent role on offense with Bradley Beal (hamstring) sidelined, and the big man has now scored at least 20 points in six straight appearances, including a season-best 41-point outing and four games in which he cleared the 25-point mark. The big man is enjoying a solid season and is averaging 22.1 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.5 blocks per game.

Impact Kispert draws into the starting five for the first time since Nov. 27 due to Bradley Beal (hamstring) being sidelined. Kispert has logged minutes in the low 30s in the last two games and should maintain a similar workload while Beal is out. He's also displayed some promising signs offensively of late, tallying double digits in three of the last four games.
