Keegan Murray

SAC Forward #13

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Keegan Murray (ankle) will not return to Wednesday’s game against the Rockets.

Murray, who missed over a month after spraining his left ankle in early January, injured the ankle again during the first quarter of Wednesday’s game. He played nine minutes, finishing with three points, one rebound and one blocked shot. Patrick Baldwin Jr. and Daeqwon Plowden may pick up additional minutes in Murray’s absence, but neither is a must-add.

Sharife Cooper

WAS Guard #13

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Sharife Cooper produced 20 points (6-of-10 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), two rebounds, seven assists and three three-pointers in Saturday’s loss to the Heat.

As many fantasy managers know by now, the silly season is going to churn out some unexpected stat lines. Cooper certainly qualifies, even if he’s reached double figures in six of his last nine appearances. Against the Heat, the Wizards guard matched his season-high in assists and recorded his second 20-point game of the season. Depending on who’s available for Sunday’s game against the Nets, Cooper may be worthy of a look in deep leagues.

Will Riley

WAS Forward #27

Will Riley tallied 31 points (12-of-17 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), five rebounds, five steals and two three-pointers in Saturday’s loss to the Heat.

Riley put forth the best offensive effort of his rookie season on Saturday, recording his first 30-point game. Add in the five steals, which were also a career-high, and Riley gave fantasy managers an excellent line to work with. And the Wizards still have another game to play in Week 23, as they visit the Nets on Sunday.

Bilal Coulibaly

WAS Guard #0

Bilal Coulibaly finished Saturday’s loss to the Heat with 12 points (5-of-13 FGs, 2-of-4 FTs), three rebounds, two assists, two steals and three blocks.

Coulibaly’s percentages weren’t very good, but he did provide fantasy managers with good value in the defensive categories. The five contributions on that end of the floor were the most in a game for him since March 22, when Bilal recorded three steals and two blocks in a loss to the Knicks. Washington plays once more in Week 23, as they host the Nets on Sunday. We’ll see what the injury report looks like, but Coulibaly’s lingering heel issue may keep him out.

Nikola Jović

MIA Forward #5

Nikola Jović (ankle) exited Saturday’s win over the Wizards with 36.2 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter.

Jović was injured when his left leg got caught underneath his body after being fouled by Washington’s Jamir Watkins on an attempt to convert an alley-oop. While he was able to walk back to the locker room on his own, Jović did so slowly. He finished with five points (2-of-6 FGs), two assists and one three-pointer. Saturday’s game was the first for Jović since March 21, with injuries knocking down the pecking order within the Heat rotation.

Jaime Jaquez

MIA Guard #11

Jaime Jaquez Jr. tallied 32 points (12-of-18 FGs, 7-of-7 FTs), three rebounds, four assists, one steal and one three-pointer in Saturday’s win over the Wizards.

Jaquez had an excellent Saturday afternoon, as his 32 points were a season-high. And he was highly efficient, shooting 66.7 percent from the field and committing just two turnovers. Add in the assists, and Jaquez enjoyed one of his best all-around performances of the season.

Kel'el Ware

MIA Center #7

Kel’el Ware amassed 23 points (10-of-14 FGs), 17 rebounds, two assists, eight blocks and three three-pointers in Saturday’s win over the Wizards.

Ware put on a show on both ends of the floor in Saturday’s 152-136 victory. The second-year center’s 17 rebounds were the most in a game for him since December 21, when he grabbed 19 in a loss to the Knicks. Also, Ware’s eight blocks are a new career-high. Add in the excellent field-goal percentage and the three-point production, and fantasy managers rostering Ware had to be thrilled with the value received.

Bam Adebayo

MIA Center-Forward #13

Bam Adebayo recorded 14 points (3-of-6 FGs, 6-of-7 FTs), nine rebounds, seven assists, one steal and two three-pointers in Saturday’s win over the Wizards.

One would not blame the Wizards if they wondered where this version of Adebayo was when he torched them for 83 points on March 10. He attempted just six shots, as the Heat combined to finish one point shy of the franchise record for points in a game (153). The good news for fantasy managers was that Bam provided good value in rebounds and assists, even though his double-double streak ended at five games.

Andrew Wiggins

MIA Forward #22

Andrew Wiggins finished Saturday’s win over the Wizards with 21 points (7-of-11 FGs, 3-of-4 FTs), two rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block and four three-pointers.

Unlike the last time Miami hosted the Wizards, no single player was responsible for most of the offensive damage. Wiggins was one of seven double-digit scorers, with three putting up at least 21 points. The veteran wing, who shot 4-of-5 from beyond the arc, recorded a complete stat line in 26 minutes of play. Not a bad finish to the week for Wiggins, whose Heat don’t play again until Tuesday.

Austin Reaves

LAL Guard #15
Austin Reaves (oblique) has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 left oblique muscle injury and will miss the rest of the regular season.

Reaves was injured early in Thursday’s loss to the Thunder. While he continued to play through the injury, the Lakers’ guard appeared to be a shell of himself. With Saturday’s update, the Lakers will finish the regular season without two of their best players, as Luka Dončić (hamstring) was also injured on Thursday. Rui Hachimura and Luke Kennard should take on bigger roles within the rotation, with one moving into the starting lineup.

Bruce Brown

DEN Guard-Forward #11
Bruce Brown (leg) will not return to Saturday’s game against the Spurs.

Brown injured his lower left leg during the third quarter of Saturday’s game. Due to his inability to participate in the ensuing jump ball, he is ineligible to return. Julian Strawther is likely to pick up a few more minutes off the bench.
