Bradley Beal - To be re-evaluated in a week Beal (hamstring) will be re-evaluated in one week, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Impact After exiting Sunday's loss to the Lakers early with hamstring tightness, Beal will officially miss the next week of action due to the injury. This will mark the second time that the 29-year-old will be forced to miss a decent chunk of games after a quadriceps injury sidelined him for five consecutive contests earlier in the season. During that previous span, Kristaps Porzingis was the team's leading producer, averaging 21.3 points, 7.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists across 31.4 minutes per game. The likes of Kyle Kuzma, Deni Avdija and Corey Kispert also figure to receive additional playing time with Beal on the sidelines. The All-Star guard's next chance to return appears to be Dec 12 against the Nets.

Kyle Kuzma - Posts 26 points, defensive stats in loss Kuzma delivered 26 points (10-21 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, two steals and one block in 32 minutes Sunday in the Wizards' 130-119 loss to the Lakers.
Impact Kuzma's stat line was somewhat sullied in nine-category leagues by his six turnovers -- one shy of matching his season high -- but fantasy managers will take this sort of all-around production from the 27-year-old in any game. Bradley Beal (hamstring) exited the contest early and could be in danger of missing time, in which case both Kuzma and Kristaps Porzingis could enjoy short-term boosts in their respective fantasy values while taking on greater usage offensively.
DECEMBER 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Daniel Gafford - Productive again Sunday Gafford registered 19 points (9-10 FG, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, two blocks and one assist across 21 minutes during Sunday's 130-119 loss to the Lakers.
Impact Gafford logged in excess of 20 minutes for the second straight game, a development that should pique the interest of fantasy managers in deeper leagues. Even more promising was the fact that he shared the court with Kristaps Porzingis once again, something that is certainly a positive when it comes to his fantasy upside. While he isn't necessarily a must-add player, taking a flier on him just to see what happens isn't the worst decision.
DECEMBER 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Taj Gibson - Another dud Sunday Gibson amassed two rebounds and one steal in eight minutes during Sunday's 130-119 loss to the Lakers.
Impact Gibson continues to be on the outside looking in when it comes to playing time, playing fewer than 10 minutes for the 10th time in 12 games this season. His days of being a fantasy-relevant player are well behind him, and he can be safely ignored across all formats.
DECEMBER 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Will Barton - Stay in Struggletown continues Barton finished Sunday's 130-119 loss to the Lakers with zero points (0-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt), one rebound, five assists and one block in 22 minutes.
Impact Barton was a non-factor once again in the loss, continuing what has been a terrible start to the season. Despite playing a relatively consistent role off the bench, he has simply been unable to get anything going on either end of the floor. While there is upside for him to be a top-100 asset, based on what we have seen thus far, he can be safely left on the wire, even in deeper formats. Barton's current 7.4 points per game would mark his lowest average since the 2014-15 season.

Delon Wright - Starting to ramp up Wright (hamstring) remains without a clear timetable but is hoping to progress to 2-on-2 and 3-on-3 work soon, Meghan McPeak of NBC Sports Washington reports.
Impact Speaking after Sunday's loss to the Lakers, coach Wes Unseld Jr. noted that Wright is still weeks away from a return but is beginning to move in the right direction. The plan is for Wright to travel with the team on its upcoming Western Conference road swing, which begins next Wednesday (Dec. 14) at Denver and continues through Dec. 23. It's possible Wright could return at some point during that trip, but either way it's a positive indication that he'll join the team on the road.

Bradley Beal - Departs with tight hamstring Beal left Sunday's game against the Lakers with right hamstring tightness and will not return, Ava Wallace of the Washington Post reports.
Impact Beal started at his usual spot in the backcourt but departed the game early in the first quarter after playing roughly three minutes. The Wizards initially indicated that was questionable to return, but he's since been downgraded -- perhaps due in part to the Wizards trailing by double-digits in the fourth quarter. The good news for Beal is Washington has the next two days off leading up to Wednesday's game at Chicago. He should be considered day-to-day until further notice.
