Kuzma posted 28 points (11-24 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 114-106 loss to Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
With the trade deadline looming, Kuzma is doing his best to justify the high price tag the Wizards have been putting on him in talks with other clubs. The 28-year-old forward has topped 25 points in four of his last six games, averaging 23.7 points, 5.5 boards, 2.8 assists, 2.0 threes and 0.8 blocks over that stretch despite struggling from long distance and shooting just 25.5 percent (12-for-47) on three-point attempts.

Kuzma (shoulder) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Phoenix.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma was initially added to the injury report as questionable due to left shoulder soreness, and the team has since announced that the forward will be held out of Sunday's action. Expect Corey Kispert and Deni Avdija to pick up the slack in Kuzma's absence.

Kuzma is questionable to play versus the Suns on Sunday due to left shoulder soreness.
EDGE Analysis
This is a new injury for Kuzma, and he's in jeopardy of missing his first game of the campaign. Marvin Bagley (back) is out and Bilal Coulibaly (back) is questionable, so the Wizards could be very thin up front. If Kuzma is held out, Deni Avdija could step into a featured role in the offense.

Kuzma closed with 27 points (11-22 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds and one block across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 125-109 loss to the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma has surpassed the 25-point mark in three of his last four appearances, and while he's firmly entrenched as Washington's best scoring alternative, his numbers have been a bit inconsistent of late, as he's failed to reach the 20-point mark in five of his last 10 contests. Kuzma averaged 19.7 points, 7.3 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game in January. While the Wizards' struggles are noticeable, Kuzma remains a valuable fantasy alternative across all formats, even if his numbers are not as good as they were in November and December.

Kuzma accumulated 18 points (7-18 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists and two blocks over 32 minutes during Monday's 118-113 win over San Antonio.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma was active on both ends of the court Monday, recording his fifth double-double of the month while extending his double-digit scoring streak to 12 games. Firmly entrenched as Washington's primary offensive threat ahead of Jordan Poole, Kuzma is averaging 19.2 points, 7.6 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game in January.

Kuzma ended Saturday's 118-104 victory over Detroit with 30 points (13-27 FG, 3-13 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 32 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma's result helped interim head coach Brian Keefe notch his first victory. The Michigan native, who played in front of friends and family from the area, made the most of his playing time, sending up 27 shot attempts in the victory. Although the Wizards added another forward in Marvin Bagley, his arrival hasn't affected Kuzma's numbers at all. The veteran remains the most dependable fantasy contributor on the roster.

Kuzma closed with 26 points (12-24 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds and five assists across 34 minutes during Thursday's 123-108 loss to Utah.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old forward led the Wizards in scoring as he snapped a brief four-game stretch in which he didn't provide more than 17 points. While Kuzma's offense has been slightly erratic in January, he's found other ways to contribute -- over the last 10 contests, he's averaged 19.6 points, 8.6 boards, 5.1 assists, 1.7 threes, 0.8 steals and 0.8 blocks.

Kuzma recorded 17 points (5-11 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 14 rebounds, eight assists and one block across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 118-107 loss to Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma led all Wizards starters in rebounds and assists while finishing as one of four players with a double-digit point total and ending two dimes short of a triple-double in a losing effort. Kuzma has recorded a double-double in six games this season, posting at least 15 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists in two outings.
