Kuzma is a late scratch for Friday's matchup against the Raptors due to neck spams.

EDGE Analysis

Kuzma is missing his first game since mid-December. He's been on a roll, posting double-digit points in 14 straight games, with averages of 22.1 points, 11.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 35.4 minutes. In his absence, more minutes could be in store for Rui Hachimura and Davis Bertans.

Kuzma ended with 15 points (6-13 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 16 rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one steal in 29 minutes during Monday's 117-98 victory over the 76ers.

EDGE Analysis

The Wizards won for the fourth time in five games, and Kuzma led the way on an afternoon when Bradley Beal took just 12 shots in 33 minutes. The ex-Laker has been on a tear over the last month, posting 10 double-doubles in his last 13 games. On the year, he's now grabbed at least 15 boards four times.

Kuzma produced 16 points (7-18 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 37 minutes during Saturday's 115-110 loss to the Trail Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

It's puzzling that Kyle Kuzma's odds of winning the league's Most Improved Player award aren't higher. His departure from Los Angeles to his new home has completely transformed his game. After Bradley Beal (COVID-19), Kuzma is the top producer for the Wizards, and his 18 double-doubles earn him a league rank of 16th in the category.

Kuzma had 19 points (7-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, nine assists and one block in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 112-106 victory over the Magic.

EDGE Analysis

Kuzma was quiet offensively during the first half, but he came alive during the third quarter with 12 points. He set a season-high with nine assists and delivered his 16 double-double of the campaign while falling one dime short of the first triple-double of his NBA career.

Kuzma contributed 29 points (12-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-7 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one block in 35 minutes during Tuesday's 122-118 win over the Thunder.

EDGE Analysis

Kuzma has caught fire lately after a mid-season dip. In the seven games coming into Tuesday, he averaged 26.3 points, 12.1 rebounds and 2.7 assists. Tuesday's performance was his third time reaching at least 29 points during this stretch. With Bradley Beal entering protocols again, Kuzma is in an excellent position to continue his efforts.

Kuzma finished Sunday's 102-100 win over the Magic with 27 points (10-19 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 22 rebounds, one assist and one block in 38 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Kuzma endured a rough stretch in December but seems to be turning things around of late and cleared the 20-point mark for the third straight contest. As if that was not enough, the former Lakers forward also has four double-doubles across his last five appearances.

Kuzma finished with 25 points (11-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-5 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and one block across 34 minutes during Thursday's 110-93 victory over the Cavaliers.

EDGE Analysis

Kuzma welcomed star teammate Bradley Beal back to action with one of his most productive games of the season. The forward fell just one point shy of tying his season-high scoring mark and grabbed exactly 10 boards for the third time in his past four contests. The end result was his 11th double-double of the campaign. After failing to reach double-digit points in three straight games from Dec. 15-18, Kuzma has now accomplished the feat in four straight contests. Over that stretch, he is averaging 19.3 points and 9.3 boards per game.
