Another strong showing Riley finished with 22 points (8-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, five assists and two steals over 29 minutes during Friday's 131-126 loss to Golden State.

Impact Riley has been one of the brightest spots for the Wizards this season, and his emergence as a reliable contributor after the All-Star break has been a positive aspect -- both in fantasy and real life. Riley has scored at least 15 points in five of his last seven outings, and this 22-point output off the bench was his best scoring mark since he had 22 points in a loss to the Heat on March 10. Riley has been a popular addition in most fantasy formats, and the numbers back him up since he's averaging 15.0 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game in 19 appearances since the All-Star break.

Available to play Saturday Riley (adductor) will play in Saturday's game against OKC.

Impact Riley was considered questionable heading into this one. However, he'll avoid his first absence since January 9. The 2025 No. 21 overall pick has had the best month of his inaugural career, averaging 15.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.1 blocks in March (10 games). He's also started in each of the Wizards' previous six contests. That trend should continue, considering Tre Johnson (foot) and Trae Young (back) aren't available.

Questionable for Saturday Riley is questionable for Saturday's game against Oklahoma City due to right adductor soreness.

Impact The rookie first-rounder is in jeopardy of missing his first contest since Jan. 9. A potential absence for Riley would free up a spot in the starting lineup likely for either Justin Champagnie or Jamir Watkins to fill at power forward Saturday.

Massive workload in loss Riley accumulated 15 points (5-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist over 40 minutes during Thursday's 117-95 loss to Detroit.

Impact The Wizards have spread out their minutes quite a bit in recent weeks, so the fact that Riley logged 40 Thursday is a great sign for his fantasy appeal moving forward. The Wizards were missing several players due to injuries and maintenance Thursday, but that's likely to be a normal occurrence down the stretch.

Knocks down four threes Riley finished with 21 points (6-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five assists and four rebounds over 39 minutes during Monday's 125-117 loss to the Warriors.

Impact Riley bounced back from a pair of single-digit scoring efforts over his previous two games with a 21-point performance. Monday marked the rookie's fourth 20-point outing of the year, as well as the fourth time he's connected on four triples in a game. After not seeing consistent playing time to open the campaign, Riley has emerged as an elevated contributor down the stretch for the Wizards, logging 25-plus minutes in each of his past 12 appearances.
