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.

Kuzma notched 23 points (7-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 7-11 FT), five rebounds and eight assists across 35 minutes during Monday's 127-115 loss to Utah.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old forward posted his highest assist total since Jan. 24 as he continues to carry the Wizards' offense. Kuzma has scored at least 20 points in five straight games and six of seven since the All-Star break, averaging 24.9 points, 8.1 boards, 3.6 assists, 2.9 threes and 0.9 steals over that stretch while shooting 44.4 percent (20-for-45) from beyond the arc.

Kuzma finished with 32 points (13-19 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal over 29 minutes during Friday's 140-115 loss to the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma put together his fourth-best scoring total of the season. The team desperately needed his output as the rest of the roster was in disarray. The Wizards elected to empty the bench later in the game, and the backups didn't fare much better. The Wizards will continue to slog through the rest of the schedule, and Kuzma is probably the only fantasy option you can rely on.

Kuzma accumulated 20 points (7-16 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one steal over 37 minutes during Thursday's 134-131 overtime loss to the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
Although several years have passed since Kuzma donned a Lakers uniform, he usually steps up when facing his former team. He didn't disappoint, offering production in every major category during the losing effort. The Wizards have little to play for, but Kuzma should continue to be one of the team's top producers, further justifying his four-year, $102 million price tag.

Kuzma logged 27 points (10-24 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 5-7 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 39 minutes during Sunday's 114-105 loss to the Cavaliers.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma has had a few ups and downs, but so far, he's probably been the lone Washington player who has lived up to expectations in what has been a dreadful season for the franchise. The move of Jordan Poole to the second unit has placed Kuzma as the team's primary offensive weapon, and the forward is averaging 24.0 points per game since the All-Star break.

Kuzma logged 31 points (12-25 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 1-4 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and three steals across 31 minutes during Thursday's 130-110 loss to Denver.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma posted his first double-double since Jan. 29 and continues to rack up his strong play on the offensive end. Over his last 10 appearances, Kuzma is averaging 23.4 points, 6.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists per contest, and he is firmly entrenched as Washington's most productive offensive threat.
