Kuzma logged 21 points (9-24 FG, 2-12 3Pt, 1-3 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and one steal in 40 minutes during Friday's 107-106 overtime win over the Heat.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma struggled to find his shooting touch in this one and needed 24 attempts to hit 21 points, but he led the Wizards in scoring and stuffed the stat sheet. Turnovers continue to be a problem for the forward, as he's coughed the ball up four or more times in each of his last five matchups.

Kuzma came within one assist of recording the second triple-double of his career Wednesday. All nine of his assists came in the first half but he could not connect on another assist after halftime. The 27-year-old has been quite productive over his last eight games, averaging 19.4 points, 8.8 rebounds and 4.1 rebounds.

Kuzma provided 23 points (8-19 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 6-7 FT), eight rebounds and six assists in 33 minutes during Saturday's 121-112 win over the Jazz.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma was solid throughout the game, collecting four rebounds and four assists in the first half to go along with nine points on 4-of-10 shooting from the field. He maintained that pace in the second half, adding another three rebounds and two assists in the third quarter before knocking down 2-of-5 shots for eight points in the fourth to help Washington win its third straight. Kuzma scored at least six points in each quarter and has now reached the 20-point mark in three straight contests.

Kuzma (illness) will play Saturday against the Jazz, Ava Wallace of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma's status was briefly in question due to an illness, but he'll play through the issue and has yet to miss a game this season. The forward popped for 36 points, 11 boards, six assists and one steal in Thursday's win over the Mavericks, though he'll probably see lower usage Saturday with Kristaps Porzingis (groin) back.

Wizards coach Wes Unseld said he expects Kuzma (illness) to play in Saturday's game versus the Jazz, Ava Wallace of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma is officially listed as questionable with a non-COVID illness but seems likely to play Saturday. Kuzma will look to post 20 points or more for his third game in a row.

Kuzma has been added to the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against the Jazz due to a non-COVID illness.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma's addition to the injury report coincides with Kristaps Porzingis' (groin) clearance from the injury report, so there could be a natural flow of minutes from one to the other if Kuzma can't go. Official word on his status should surface as the opening tip draws nearer.

Kuzma got off to a solid start in the first quarter with 10 points on 4-of-8 shooting and also added six first-half rebounds to help make it a three-point game at the break. The Washington forward then went on to steal the show in the second half, racking up 20 points on 7-of-15 shooting from the field over the final two quarters, including 4-of-8 from three to lead the Wizards to victory. The 36 points were a season high, while Kuzma also recorded double-digit rebounds for just the third time this season.

Kuzma is questionable for Monday's game against Charlotte due to left shoulder soreness.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma was a late addition to Monday's injury report, but he's apparently dealing with a shoulder issue after he logged 12 points, 11 rebounds, two assists and a block in 34 minutes during Sunday's loss to Memphis. If he's unavailable, Rui Hachimura and Deni Avdija would likely handle increased roles in the frontcourt.
