Kuzma is questionable to play Tuesday versus Houston due to left shoulder soreness.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma's left shoulder soreness sidelined him during Sunday's loss to Boston, but he appeared to be past the issue prior to being added back to the injury report Monday. His status will need to be monitored for a Washington squad that ruled Bilal Coulibaly (wirst) out for the season Monday and that will also be without Deni Avdija (knee), Tyus Jones (back), Marvin Bagley (back) and Landry Shamet (calf) on Tuesday.

Kuzma is questionable for Sunday's game against the Celtics due to left shoulder soreness.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma is banged up ahead of the second night of a back-to-back set after posting just 11 points (5-10 FG) in 29 minutes during a blowout loss in Chicago on Saturday. He's appeared in 13 straight contests, averaging 24.4 points, 7.2 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.7 steals-plus-blocks in 33.9 minutes, but with the Wizards out of playoff contention, they may err on the side of caution.

Kuzma posted 23 points (8-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 7-7 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals across 31 minutes during Thursday's 135-119 loss to the Rockets.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old continues to be the most consistent offensive weapon the Wizards have, even if the roster around him remains a work in progress. Kuzma has scored 20 or more points in 10 straight games, averaging 26.1 points, 7.2 boards, 4.5 assists, 2.0 threes and 0.8 steals while shooting 50.5 percent from the floor, but Washington has gone just 2-8 during that stretch.

Kuzma had 32 points (9-23 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 12-16 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and two blocks in 38 minutes during Sunday's 110-108 win over Miami.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma ended just one rebound shy of recording a double-double for the fourth time this season. Even though he has achieved that feat 10 times already in 2023-24, it's clear Kuzma's upside lies in what he can do as a scorer, with his contributions in other categories being a nice addition to his offensive prowess. Kuzma is averaging 28.0 points, 6.8 rebounds and 5.2 assists per game in five appearances this month.

Kuzma ended Friday's 112-100 win over the Hornets with 28 points (11-23 FG, 0-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), eight rebounds, nine assists, two blocks and one steal in 40 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma played a significant role in Washington's win Friday, ending just two rebounds and one assist away from recording a triple-double while lifting the Wizards to their 10th win of the season. Kuzma has been one of the few valuable players for Washington this season, at least from a fantasy perspective, as he hasn't had problems with a higher usage rate despite the team's overall struggles. Kuzma is averaging career-best marks in points (22.3), assists (4.2) and field-goal percentage (46.2 percent) in 2023-24.

Kuzma closed Wednesday's 119-109 loss to the Magic with 25 points (10-19 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 31 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma has scored 20-plus points in nine of his last 10 games as he continues to be the focal point in the Wizards' offense. With Jordan Poole coming off the bench, Kuzma should continue to see more scoring opportunities at the beginning of each half. Over his last 10 games, Kuzma has averaged 24.3 points on 50.0 percent shooting (including 40.6 percent from three), 7.2 rebounds and 3.4 assists over 33.7 minutes.
