Kuzma chipped in 17 points (7-22 FG, 3-13 3Pt, 0-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 34 minutes before fouling out of Sunday's 112-108 loss to Phoenix.

EDGE Analysis

Kuzma attempted 13 shots beyond the arc and sunk only three of them, but he still managed a sufficient total. Kuzma is averaging 23.3 points per game this season, but he routinely posts totals well above or well below that benchmark, making his floor less dependable than one might expect. Despite the variance, the 28-year-old remains one of Washington's most productive performers.

Kuzma closed Wednesday's 142-122 loss to the Pelicans with 27 points (10-19 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 30 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old continues to produce career-best numbers as the No. 1 option on a depleted Wizards roster. Kuzma has scored more than 20 points in 10 of the last 14 games, averaging 23.0 points, 5.6 boards, 5.4 assists and 2.3 threes over that stretch. Unless Jordan Poole gets rolling though and gives defenses someone else to worry about, Kuzma likely won't be able to take his production to the next level.

Kuzma notched 17 points (8-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds and two assists in 30 minutes during Friday's 124-97 loss to Brooklyn.

EDGE Analysis

Kuzma extended his run of games with 20 or more points to three and has achieved that mark in six of his last seven outings. He opened the season as the expected co-leader on offense alongside Jordan Poole, but the latter's struggles have helped Kuzma ascend to the clear No. 1 option. Kuzma is averaging 23.2 points per game over his last five outings.

EDGE Analysis

Washington had lost nine straight games coming into Monday, and Kuzma played a big part in ensuring that the disappointing streak came to an end against Detroit. The star forward led the Wizards in scoring, rebounds and assists, falling just two dimes shy of a triple-double. Promisingly, Kuzma has stepped up considerably as a distributor of late -- over his past five contests, he's averaging 8.6 assists per game.

EDGE Analysis

With 13 assists, Kuzma set a new career-best mark. This was the fifth time that he reached double-digit assists in his career.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old forward scored more than 20 points for the ninth time in 11 games to begin the season as Kuzma adapts to being the top dog on the Wizards' roster. While his 6.1 boards per game would be his lowest output since 2020-21, his last season with the Lakers, he's on track to set new career highs in both volume and efficiency with 23.9 points per game and 47.2 percent field-goal shooting on 19.6 attempts per game.

Kuzma registered 34 points (14-25 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 38 minutes during Monday's 111-107 loss to the Raptors.

EDGE Analysis

Kuzma was projected to be one of the Wizards' main scoring threats alongside Jordan Poole, but he's been excellent for the most part and is firmly established as the team's go-to player on offense, though most of that is also explained by Poole's own struggles. This 34-point output was Kuzma's best mark of the current campaign, and while inconsistent at times, he's done enough to lead the Wizards in scoring through 10 games. He has also notched five games with 25 or more points.

Kuzma notched 33 points (13-24 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds and four assists across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 132-116 victory over the Hornets.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old led the Wizards in scoring with a season-best performance, and Kuzma has taken his game to another level as his team's top offensive threat following the offseason trade of Kristaps Porzingis. Kuzma has scored more than 20 points in seven straight contests to kick off 2023-24, averaging a career-high 25.0 points a game while shooting 50.7 percent from the field and 83.3 percent from the free-throw line -- both personal bests.
