Wall collected 29 points (9-17 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 11-11 FT), nine assists, four rebounds and one block across 32 minutes in Tuesday's 130-119 loss to the Raptors.
EDGE Analysis
Wall was driving to the basket and being rewarded for it, as he made all 11 of his attempts from the charity stripe. However, in the midst of his interior offense working, he neglected to make any shots from deep, which ultimately hurt the team as they fell into a hole in the first half. Wall will look to get his teammates some better looks behind the arc in Game 3 in hopes they can run with the raptors' potent offense.

Wall accounted for 23 points (6-20 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 8-10 FT), three rebounds, 15 assists, four steals, and two blocks across 39 minutes Saturday in Washington's loss to Toronto in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference first-round playoff series.
EDGE Analysis
Game 1 was a grind for Wall, who posted a well rounded statistical performance but he left a lot of points on the table. Wall shot 30-percent or worse from the field while shooting at least 50-percent from three-point range for just the sixth time in his eight-year career. He will continue to be Washington's engine, but Toronto's defensive efforts will key on wearing him out whenever he steps on the court.

Wall will not play Wednesday against Orlando, Candace Buckner of the Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, the Wizards will sit Wall on the second night of a back-to-back with a playoff berth locked up. Tomas Satoransky will start in Wall's place. Expect Wall to be back in the lineup for Game 1 of the postseason this coming weekend.

According to head coach Scott Brooks, Wall is unlikely to play in Wednesday's season-finale against the Magic, Chase Hughes of NBCSWashington reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wall led the Wizards with 29 points to go along with 11 assists and seven rebounds across 37 minutes of action Tuesday against the Celtics. However, he is still working his way back from knee surgery, which sidelined the All Star for 27 straight games. He has been resting the second game of back-to-back sets, and it seems like Wednesday's season-finale will be no exception. Look for Tomas Satoransky to likely pick up the spot start Wednesday before the Wizards head to the playoffs.

Wall will return to the lineup for Tuesday's matchup with the Celtics.
EDGE Analysis
Wall sat out Friday's game for rest and there were some concerns he could do so again Tuesday as the Wizards head into a back-to-back set. However, that it's since been confirmed that Wall will start as usual Tuesday, so fantasy owners can go ahead and fire him up in lineups as usual. That said, monitor his status closely prior to Wednesday's contest to make sure he's in the lineup. Tomas Satoransky will head back to the bench in the corresponding move.

Wall (rest) is listed as out for Friday's contest against the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Wall will not play on the second half of a back-to-back set Friday after playing 38 minutes during Thursday's tilt against Cleveland, producing 28 points, 14 assists, four rebounds and three steals. With him out of the picture, Tomas Satoransky should draw the start at point guard and see extra run.

Wall is unlikely to play Friday against the HawksZach Rosen of the Wizards' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
After a taxing 38 minutes Thursday against the Cavaliers, the Wizards will likely keep their star point guard out for Friday's tilt against the floundering Hawks. Look for Tomas Satoransky and Tim Frazier to pick up the bulk of the point guard minutes if Wall is officially ruled out.

Wall will play in Thursday's game against the Cavaliers, Chris Miller of NBC Sports Washington reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Wizards are heading into a back-to-back set Thursday and Friday, so there were some questions regarding Wall's availability considering he's being eased back from injury. While he's officially been cleared to play Thursday, there seems to be a decent chance he's then rested Friday, though additional word on that should be provided over the next 24 hours or so. Wall struggled to just nine points (3-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT) during Tuesday's tilt with the Rockets, but was his normal self as a distributor, adding 10 assists, four rebounds and a steal across 33 minutes.

Wall scored nine points (3-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT) while adding 10 assists, four rebounds and a steal in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 120-104 loss to the Rockets.
EDGE Analysis
He also committed eight turnovers, and in just his second game back from knee surgery, Wall looked very much like a player trying to shake off two months worth of rust. The Wizards have four games remaining on their schedule to get the point guard back in shape before the playoffs, so expect Wall to get all the minutes he can handle.

Wall (knee) will not play during Sunday's contest against the Bulls, which marks the second half of a back-to-back set. He made his return after a 27-game absence during Saturday's 107-93 win over the Hornets, posting 15 points (6-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 14 assists, three rebounds and a steal across 33 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Though Wall was not on a minutes restriction during Saturday's victory, coach Scott Brooks will still opt to play things safe, holding Wall out on the second half of a back-to-back set. As a result, Tomas Satoransky will draw the start, as he had been when Wall was sidelined. Wall will presumably take the floor again Tuesday against the Rockets.
