Kyshawn George totaled 15 points (5-of-10 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), two rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block and three three-pointers in the loss to the Cavaliers on Friday.George's three-point production against the Cavaliers led to him tallying 15 points for the third straight game. His numbers were quiet across most of the remaining statistical categories from a fantasy basketball standpoint, which hasn't been the case during his second NBA season. Fouls also played a role in his finishing with only 26 minutes of game action. Assuming fouls aren't an issue on Sunday against the Pacers, George will have a chance to land some solid production.
Bub Carrington, CJ McCollum, Kyshawn George, Justin Champagnie and Marvin Bagley will start Saturday's game against the Hawks.The Wizards are without Bilal Coulibaly, Khris Middleton and Alex Sarr, with Middleton being the most recent absentee. Carrington, Champagnie and Bagley start with the latter being the best streaming option. While Carrington's fantasy ceiling has been raised, McCollum should also have the ball in his hands plenty.
Kyshawn George accumulated 15 points (5-of-7 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), three rebounds, one assist, two steals and three three-pointers in Thursday's loss to the Celtics.George entered Thursday's game in a slump, having shot 8-of-28 from the field over the previous three games. He got back on track against the Celtics, but it wasn't enough to help Washington avoid a 45-point defeat. The recent slump dropped his fantasy value just outside the top-100, but the second-year wing should be fine. He remains someone who has to be rostered in all 12-team leagues, and George will be more valuable later in the season.
The Athletic's Josh Robbins reports that Bilal Coulibaly "is likely to miss multiple weeks" with an oblique injury.It's a brutal blow for the Wizards, since Coulibaly is their top perimeter defender. Bub Carrington and Justin Champagnie will see more minutes, but it will likely just mean more usage for guys like Kyshawn George and CJ McCollum.
Kyshawn George (toe) is available for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.George is good to go after initially being considered questionable. He'll take on his usual role as the starting small forward. With the Wizards being down multiple wings, Cam Whitmore is still in line for a boost to his usage on Tuesday.
