Kuzma recorded 21 points (8-18 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist and two steals across 38 minutes during Wednesday's 115-111 loss to the Bulls.

EDGE Analysis

The absence of Bradley Beal (hamstring) will likely result in a more prominent role on offense for Kuzma, but he's already been a key figure on the team even when Beal is on the floor. Over his last five games, Kuzma is averaging 21.8 points while averaging 18.8 field goal attempts per contest.

Kuzma delivered 26 points (10-21 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, two steals and one block in 32 minutes Sunday in the Wizards' 130-119 loss to the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

Kuzma's stat line was somewhat sullied in nine-category leagues by his six turnovers -- one shy of matching his season high -- but fantasy managers will take this sort of all-around production from the 27-year-old in any game. Bradley Beal (hamstring) exited the contest early and could be in danger of missing time, in which case both Kuzma and Kristaps Porzingis could enjoy short-term boosts in their respective fantasy values while taking on greater usage offensively.

Kuzma closed with 25 points (10-25 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one block across 40 minutes during Wednesday's 113-107 loss to the Nets.

EDGE Analysis

Kuzma struggled in terms of efficiency, but he still posted another strong scoring performance while delivering decent numbers in other categories. He's not expected to fill the stat sheet on a regular basis, however, and most of his value comes from what he can do scoring the rock. Fortunately for both the Wizards and fantasy managers who have him rostered, Kuzma is having a strong offensive year. He has scored 20-plus points in six games in a row and is averaging a career-best 20.6 points per contest.

Kuzma supplied 23 points (9-16 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds and nine assists over 31 minutes during Monday's 142-127 win over the Timberwolves.

EDGE Analysis

Kuzma ended just one assist and two rebounds away from recording a triple-double, but he also posted excellent numbers as a scorer, an area in which he's been excelling of late. Kuzma has now scored at least 20 points in five games in a row and is averaging 26.6 points, 8.0 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game during that five-game stretch.

Kuzma isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Monday's matchup against Minnesota.

EDGE Analysis

Kuzma sat out the first game of Washington's back-to-back set Sunday due to a low-back injury, marking his first absence of the season. However, it appears his lack of availability was precautionary, as the forward is expected to be back in the mix Monday. Across 19 appearances (all starts), Kuzma has averaged 20.3 points, 8.1 rebounds and 3.3 assists in 34.6 minutes per game.

Kuzma (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Kuzma will miss his first game of the season due to a low-back injury. Rui Hachimura (ankle) is also out, so Anthony Gill and Will Barton are strong candidates for increased roles against the Celtics.

Kuzma is questionable for Sunday's matchup against Boston due to low-back pain.

EDGE Analysis

Kuzma posted 28 points, seven rebounds and five assists in 39 minutes during Friday's loss to Miami, but he appears to have aggravated his back during the contest as well. With the Wizards beginning a back-to-back set Sunday, it wouldn't be surprising to see Kuzma rested for at least one of Washington's next two contests. If that's the case, Anthony Gill, Will Barton and Rui Hachimura (ankle) would be candidates for increased roles.

Kuzma provided 28 points (11-22 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and one steal over 39 minutes during Friday's 110-107 loss to Miami.

EDGE Analysis

Kuzma hit the 28-point threshold for the third consecutive contest. He's amid an awesome campaign, averaging a career-best 20.3 points per game off a career-best 45.9 percent clip from the field. He's also tacking on 8.1 rebounds and 3.3 assists per night.

Kuzma registered 33 points (13-27 FG, 2-13 3Pt, 5-7 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal over 40 minutes during Wednesday's 113-105 loss to the Heat.

EDGE Analysis

Kuzma had a miserable shooting night from beyond the arc but he played much more efficiently inside the three-point line, shooting 48.1 percent from the field. He's been one of the most reliable scoring options for the Wizards of late, putting up 20-plus points in three straight matchups while also averaging 8.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists over that brief stretch.

Kuzma chipped in 28 points (10-18 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 10 rebounds and five assists over 38 minutes during Sunday's 106-102 victory over the Hornets.

EDGE Analysis

Kuzma led his team in scoring for the second game in a row and also notched his second double-double in three contests. He looked much better from beyond the arc after hitting five of his last 20 from deep heading into Sunday. Kuzma has also shown noticeable improvement of late in the assist category, as he's dished out 5.7 assists per contest over his last six games after averaging only 2.1 assists through his first 11 matchups of the 2022-23 campaign.
