The Wizards are without Bilal Coulibaly, opening up a space in the starting lineup. Brogdon, who made his season debut on Sunday, will fill the void, and moving into the starting lineup boosts his value. While rookie Kyshawn George will come off the bench, Coulibaly's absence should also increase his fantasy value.
Coulibaly exited early from Sunday's game with this head injury that will keep him sidelined on Monday. Kyshawn George should fill his spot in the starting unit, though Corey Kispert should see some extra minutes off the bench as well.
Coulibaly left Sunday's matchup with Detroit early, but he's got a chance to play on the second night of a back-to-back set. If Coulibaly is unavailable, Kyshawn George and Corey Kispert could see increased run in his absence.
George has gotten off to a strong start to his rookie season, but most of his production has come as a starter. This was his best game in a reserve role, which was encouraging to see. He will only get to start this year when there is an injury in front of him, but if he can still contribute as a reserve, he may be able to provide standard league value long before silly season comes around. It's early, but Washington's 2024 draft class is looking really, really good.
Kuz is back after missing the team's previous five games. He'll replace the rookie Kyshawn George in the starting lineup, though George should still play a significant role off the bench. Kuz didn't get off to a great start to the year, but he played well in his last appearance.
