Khris Middleton

Middleton still isn't seeing a heavy workload, but that isn't something that is likely to change this season. However, as he proved on Thursday, that won't prevent him from filling up the stat sheet. He struggled against Detroit on Tuesday, but he has scored in double figures in five of his last six appearances and ranks inside the top-100 in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. It has been a disappointing season overall for Middleton, but he has provided some redemption during the fantasy playoffs.

Bilal Coulibaly (hamstring) is out, but Middleton is back. Still, Champagnie will replace rookie Bub Carrington in the starting lineup. Carrington should still play a significant role, but his production has been limited when he comes off the bench.

Middleton and Smart sat out Monday on the first leg of Washington's back-to-back set, but the pair of vets will be good to go on Tuesday. Bub Carrington could see a reduced role with Middleton and Smart back in action.

Middleton has been cleared to play in Tuesday's game against the Pistons.

With Khris Middleton (ankle) sidelined for the first leg of Washington's back-to-back, Carrington will make a return to the starting lineup. The Wizards will play in Detroit on Tuesday, so Carrington will likely be pushed back to the bench for that game, though he has been productive as a starter.
