Wall scored 21 points (6-20 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 7-9 FT) while adding nine assists, six rebounds, four blocks and a steal in 41 minutes during Sunday's 114-110 win over the Bulls.
EDGE Analysis
He continues to struggle with his offense -- Wall's shooting only 37.8 percent from the floor in 10 games since returning from his knee injury -- but he just missed his fifth double-double in the last seven, and his distribution skills appear to be intact. Bradley Beal has picked up a lot of the slack in December, both before and after Wall's return to the court, but the point guard should begin to fill up the basket on a more regular basis soon enough.

Wall scored 21 points (8-19 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-7 FT), grabbed five rebounds, dished 14 assists and snatched one steal in 39 minutes Monday in Washington's loss to Boston.
EDGE Analysis
Wall had no issue taking control of the flow at the end of Washington's Christmas matchup with the Celtics. He posted his third double-double in four games, and he gave the Celtics guards all they could handle. His vision pairs well with his ability to get to the rim and finish, but he is less effective while settling for jump shots. In the seven games since returning from a knee, injury Wall is only shooting 36.5-percent from the field. He and backcourt partner Bradley Beal are one of the more intimidating tandems the league has to offer. For now, Beal is shouldering the scoring burden but look for Wall to get back into the swing of things as he gets his legs back under him.

Wall scored 10 points (3-9 FG, 2-4 3PT, 2-3 FT) to go with three rebounds, 13 assists, one steal and one block in 31 minutes during Saturday's 130-103 win against Orlando.
EDGE Analysis
While he is not averaging 20.3 points as he did before his knee injury, Wall has been solid in other categories since his return. After dishing out 13 assists on Saturday, the guard is averaging 13.5 points, 7.0 assists and 4.6 rebounds over his last six games. In addition, Wall has collected a double-double one way or another in three of those games. However, Wall is shooting below his season-average of 40.1 percent from the floor, shooting 35.1 percent on 14.1 shots per game since his return. Next up for Wall is a match-up against Boston on Monday.

Wall does not have a minutes limit for Saturday's contest against the Magic, Zach Rosen of the Wizards' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wall -- who missed nine games from late November to mid-December due to a knee injury -- played just 18 minutes during the team's most recent game Friday against the Nets, as the team was probably looking to limit his workload on the first half of a back-to-back set. But, he'll be without restriction Saturday. On the year, he's averaging 18.9 points and 8.4 assists across 32.8 minutes per game.

Wall finished with 10 points (4-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four assists and two rebounds in just 16 minutes during Friday's 119-84 loss to Brooklyn.
EDGE Analysis
Wall had arguably his worst game of the season, playing only 16 minutes in the loss. The Wizards looked particularly flat in this game, as evidenced by the final scoreline. Owners should basically try to forget about this performance and hope he can get thins turned around in a favorable matchup against the Magic on Saturday.

Wall scored 15 points (6-16 FG, 2-5 3PT, 1-2 FT) to go with 10 rebounds, six assists, one steal and two blocks across 32 minutes during Sunday's 106-99 loss to Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
In his third game back from a knee injury, Wall settled in with 15 points and a season-high 10 rebounds en route to his seventh double-double of the season. Aside from the surprising amount of rebounds, the Washington guard was so-so from the floor, shooting 37.5 percent on Sunday. In the three games since his return, Wall is shooting 36.1 percent for an average of 14.3 points. However, Wall's playing time has increased from 28 to 32 minutes since his return to the lineup. With more time to knock the rust off, Wall will look to round back into form against New Orleans on Tuesday.

Wall totaled 13 points (6-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 0-4 FT), four assists, two steals, one rebound and one block across 28 minutes during a 93-87 win over the Grizzlies on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
In his return from a nine-game absence due to a knee injury, Wall was a bit rusty as he shot 40 percent from the field and missed all of his free throw attempts. He received 28 minutes, which indicates that he is not far off from his usual workload. It may take a few games for him to get back into the groove, but expect Wall to be posting his usual balanced stat lines soon.

Wall (knee) will play during Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies, Jacob Bogage of the Washington Post reports. He will be on a mid-20s minutes restriction, per Zach Rosen of the Wizards' official site.
EDGE Analysis
Wall has been sidelined since Nov. 25 after getting injections to deal with inflammation in his knee. With his return Wednesday, Tim Frazier and Tomas Satoransky will probably see reduced roles. Wall is still likely not a great DFS option Wednesday, however, considering his minutes restriction.

Wall (knee) has officially been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Nets.
EDGE Analysis
Wall came into Tuesday with a questionable designation, but with the Wizards currently headed into a back-to-back set, they decided it was in Wall's best interest to remain sidelined at least one more contest. He's slated to make his return to the lineup Wednesday against the Grizzlies, though additional word on that should come following the team's morning shootaround. With Wall out once again Tuesday, Tim Frazier and Tomas Satoransky should see extended run at point guard, though it will likely remain a timeshare between the two.

Wall (knee) should be considered doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Nets, with his return likely coming Wednesday against the Grizzlies, David Aldridge of Turner Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
The possibility of Wall playing Tuesday hasn't been completely ruled out, but according to Aldridge, "all signs" are pointing to the point guard waiting until Wednesday to return. Assuming he's out, Tim Frazier and Tomas Satoransky will probably continue seeing extended run at point guard, while Bradley Beal takes on a more prominent role in the offense.
