Kuzma (knee) posted 23 points (9-20 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block across 35 minutes during Tuesday's 119-117 win over the Pistons.
EDGE Analysis
After missing Sunday's game against the Bucks with a minor knee issue, Kuzma was right back in the flow Tuesday. Over his last eight games, he's averaging 22.4 points, 5.3 boards, 3.1 threes and 2.3 assists, and he appears to be taking on more of a pure scoring role for the Wizards with both Bradley Beal and Kristaps Porzingis also healthy and in the lineup.

Kuzma (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Pistons.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma left Saturday's loss to the Raptors with right knee soreness and was ruled out for the second half of Washington's back-to-back Sunday versus Milwaukee. He'll have a chance to return Tuesday, but if he remains sidelined, Anthony Gill, Deni Avdija and Corey Kispert would all be candidates for increased roles.

Kuzma (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma left Saturday's game against the Raptors with knee soreness, and now he'll receive some extra rest to avoid the injury becoming more serious. Given Deni Avdija (illness) is also questionable, coach Wes Unseld Jr. could give more minutes to Anthony Gill and Corey Kispert. Kuzma's next chance to play will come Tuesday at Detroit.

Kuzma should tentatively be considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Bucks after banging knees and leaving the arena with a limp during Saturday's 116-109 loss to the Raptors, Neil Dalal of Hoop District reports. In the game, Kuzma registered 16 points (5-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds and one assist in 42 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma's solid night was marred by five turnovers and an injury, which could affect his availability on the second night of the back-to-back. Deni Avdija (illness) left Saturday's game in the second quarter and should be considered questionable as well. If one or both players are shelved, coach Wes Unseld Jr. could give more minutes to Anthony Gill and Corey Kispert.

Kuzma totaled 30 points (10-24 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 6-8 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Thursday's 119-108 win over Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma started the night on a personal 10-0 run, a precursor to his big offensive night. The 27-year-old is averaging over 20 points per game for the first time in his career, but his point totals have had a wide variance since he returned from an ankle injury. Kuzma hasn't been efficient, shooting just 38.6 percent over his last six games. But topping 30 points will usually help fantasy managers regardless of the field-goal percentage. With the Wizards rolling on offense, Kuzma picked up five assists to round out a solid night.

Kuzma notched 28 points (10-26 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 6-7 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 119-116 win over the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
The 27-year-old has been alternating strong performances with quieter ones since missing four games earlier in February due to an ankle injury. Over five contests since his return, Kuzma's averaging 22.0 points, 5.6 boards, 3.2 threes and 2.0 assists, but his 38.0 percent shooting during that time suggests he might be able to find another gear to close out the regular season.

Kuzma supplied 23 points (10-23 FG, 3-12 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and one steal over 41 minutes during Friday's 115-109 loss to the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
Kuz managed to top the 20-point threshold Friday despite struggling from beyond the arc, knocking down three of 12 attempts from downtown. He took 23 field goal attempts but didn't manage a free throw against the Knicks. His points were empty, as his inefficiency and lack of big numbers elsewhere left fantasy managers disappointed once again.

Kuzma (ankle) ended with 33 points (11-20 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 5-6 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one block over 36 minutes during Tuesday's 126-101 win over Portland.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma returned to action after a four-game absence and proved to be deadly from deep, falling one trey shy of matching his season high. With Bradley Beal and Kristaps Porzingis in good health, the addition of Kuzma gives the Wizards a good chance to make a push for the Eastern Conference Play-In Tournament once the team returns from the All-Star break. Kuzma is on pace for his beat season yet, as he's averaging 21.5 points, 7.6 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 2.5 three-pointers through 52 appearances.

Kuzma (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game at Portland.
EDGE Analysis
After missing four games due to a sprained left ankle, Kuzma will return for the final two games before the All-Star break. In his 15 appearances before suffering the injury, Kuzma averaged 21.7 points, 8.0 rebounds and 4.9 assists in 35.3 minutes. His presence will likely result in decreased minutes for Anthony Gill.
