• Wizards' Justin Champagnie: First career double-double

  23H ago • By RotoWire

  Champagnie racked up 13 points (5-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 14 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and three steals across 39 minutes during Sunday's 112-98 loss to the Celtics. Making his fourth straight start due to injuries to injuries to Kyle Kuzma (ribs) and Kyshawn George (ankle), Champagnie produced his first career double-double and just the second game of his career with 10-plus boards. The 23-year-old forward is averaging 16.5 points, 9.5 rebounds, 2.8 steals, 1.8 threes, 1.3 assists and 1.3 blocks during his stint in the starting five while shooting 55.1 percent from the floor. He may be playing well enough to hang onto a spot in the Wizards' rotation even after the roster gets healthier.

• Wizards' Justin Champagnie: Plays well again

  8D ago • By RotoWire

  Champagnie ended with 14 points (6-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt), eight rebounds and five steals in 34 minutes during Sunday's 140-112 loss to the Grizzlies. This strong line comes on the heels of a 23-point showing Saturday against Denver, so Champagnie naturally has the attention of fantasy managers. The Wizards have several key players nursing injuries, but they could get some reinforcements back for their next game Friday against the Cavaliers. Champagnie will certainly be on the streaming radar as long as the team is shorthanded.

• Wizards' Justin Champagnie: Emerges with career-high 23 points

  9D ago • By RotoWire

  Champagnie logged 23 points (9-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-5 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals over 37 minutes during Saturday's 122-113 victory over the Nuggets. In his first NBA start of the season after spending time in the G League, Champagnie emerged with a career-high 23 points while filling up the box score. It was also just his fourth appearance with the Wizards this season. Head coach Brian Keefe has shuffled his starting lineup around quite a bit lately, so it remains unknown if Champagnie will hold down a spot with the first unit going forward. Fantasy managers should take a wait-and-see approach before adding the 23-year-old forward from waiver wires, however, as it needs to be noted that Washington was missing Kyle Kuzma (rib), Alex Sarr (back), Malcolm Brogdon (hamstring) and others on Saturday.
