George closed Sunday's 116-112 win over the Kings with six points (3-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one block in 19 minutes.

This was a bizarre game for Washington with the team benching all their starters for most of the second half to close this game out. Bub Carrington and Bilal Coulibaly were the only starters to eclipse 20 minutes, and they barely did that. With the Wizards not playing for much, this could become a trend.

Williams logged eight points (3-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals in 24 minutes during Sunday's 121-111 victory over the Nuggets.

After starting three consecutive games, Williams moved back into a bench role to make way for Isaiah Hartenstein on Sunday. Williams is ticketed for a reserve spot as long as Oklahoma City's frontcourt is healthy, and he's averaged 6.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 0.8 blocks in 19.5 minutes per contest in his last six games off the bench.

Coulibaly chipped in 15 points (5-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-5 FT), one rebound, three assists and two steals over 21 minutes during Sunday's 116-112 victory over the Kings.

The Wizards did not utilize their starters down the stretch of this game, limiting Coulibaly's workload -- Bub Carrington saw the largest workload among the first unit with 23 minutes. This trend would be alarming for Coulibaly's fantasy appeal in the final few months of the season if it continues.

Green closed with three points (1-5 FG, 1-5 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist in 29 minutes during Sunday's 107-79 loss to the Celtics.

Green had another lackluster performance, scoring in single digits for a third straight game. The fourth-year wing has struggled of late, shooting just 29.4 percent from the field while averaging 4.3 points, 2.3 assists and 2.0 rebounds in 31.7 minutes per tilt over that three-game span. If Green's struggles persist, a move to the second unit is not out of the question once Kevin Porter (oblique) returns.

Queta chipped in 14 points (7-10 FG), eight rebounds, four assists and one block across 31 minutes during Sunday's 107-79 win over Milwaukee.

This was a solid showing for Queta as he showcased his improved playmaking ability -- this was his seventh career game with at least four dimes. He's quietly been a solid late-round fantasy producer, and his fantasy managers will be hoping that the Celtics don't add any frontcourt competition at the trade deadline.

Green (thumb) is available for Monday's game against the Pelicans.

As expected, Green will shake off his probable tag due to a right thumb sprain. The 25-year-old swingman didn't miss a game in January, during which he averaged 3.6 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 16.0 minutes per tilt across 17 outings.

Powell logged 12 points (3-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds and one assist over 32 minutes during Sunday's 130-77 loss to the Pistons.

Powell turned in one of his better scoring outings of the season in Brooklyn's lopsided loss to the Pistons. The first-round pick scored roughly twice his season average. He led his team in minutes played off the bench with Michael Porter sidelined for personal reasons. As the rest of the season plays out, it's worth monitoring if Powell can pick up his production on a consistent basis.

Mitchell (shoulder) recorded 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt), six assists, two rebounds and two steals across 21 minutes Sunday in the Heat's 134-91 win over the Bulls.

After missing the previous six games while recovering from a left shoulder sprain, Mitchell stepped back into the starting five and came through with an efficient, all-around line in his first appearance since Jan. 20. Though he was limited to just over 20 minutes in his return, Mitchell likely would have played more had the Heat not built a 39-point lead after three quarters. Mitchell and most of the Heat's other key contributors ended up sitting out the entire fourth quarter as a result.

Wesley (foot) logged five points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt), four assists, three rebounds and one steal across 19 minutes during Sunday's 130-111 loss to Cleveland.

Wesley made his first appearance since Oct. 31 following a lengthy recovery from right foot surgery. The Trail Blazers were missing Jrue Holiday (personal) on Sunday, and with Scoot Henderson (hamstring) closing in on his season debut, Wesley may have a tough time carving out a consistent role in the rotation.

Bagley (back) accounted for 15 points (7-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block across 19 minutes in Sunday's 116-112 win over the Kings.

Bagley made his first appearance since Jan. 19 after being sidelined due to an illness and a thoracic strain. Though he typically handles a reserve role, Bagley moved into the starting five in his return while top center Alex Sarr (calf) sat out. Though Bagley was a highly efficient scorer during his time on the court, he ended up sitting out the final 16 minutes of the game while the Wizards leaned more heavily on their second unit to finish out the contest. If Sarr remains out for Tuesday's game against the 31-18 Knicks, expect Bagley to start and take on a greater minutes load, since the 13-35 Wizards won't be as incentivized to bench starters like they did against another non-contending team in the 12-39 Kings.
