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.

Kuzma (illness) isn't listed on Washington's injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma missed Washington's final game before the All-Star break due to an illness but has had plenty of time to clear the aliment and should be a full-go Thursday. Over his last four appearances, Kuzma has averaged 22.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.3 blocks in 34.5 minutes per game.

Kuzma (illness) won't play in Wednesday's game versus the Pelicans.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma has been downgraded from questionable to out Wednesday due to a non-COVID illness. Deni Avdija, Corey Kispert and Bilal Coulibaly are all candidates to receive increased playing time. Kuzma's next chance to suit up will come after the All-Star break on Feb. 22 against Denver.

Kuzma is questionable to play against the Pelicans on Wednesday due to illness, Ava Wallace of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma was a late addition to the injury report, and he wasn't in attendance at the morning shootaround. If the forward is unable to suit up Wednesday, the Wizards will need guys like Deni Avdija, Corey Kispert and Bilal Coulibaly to step up.

Kuzma contributed 23 points (9-19 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), eight rebounds and one steal over 32 minutes during Monday's 112-104 loss to the Mavericks.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma once again surpassed the 20-point mark, something that has been a trend for him throughout the entire campaign, and he also ended just two rebounds shy of a double-double. Kuzma has gone six consecutive games without a double-double, but that hasn't reduced his fantasy appeal drastically, as he's still averaging 21.5 points with 4.2 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game in that six-game stretch.

Kuzma ended with 21 points (9-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, five assists and four blocks in 37 minutes during Saturday's 119-113 loss to the 76ers.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma's numbers have been fluctuating a bit, which wasn't the case in prior to this recent stretch, but he has still posted 20 or more points in three of his last six appearances. It remains to be seen if the move to center will affect his fantasy numbers on a huge basis, but he's expected to remain a focal point of Washington's offensive scheme.
