Kuzma racked up 22 points (8-19 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds and three assists across 34 minutes during Tuesday's 119-112 loss to the Heat.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma wasn't entirely efficient, but he had a strong fantasy performance due to his volume -- he attempted 19 field goals to reach the 22-point mark, which was tied for this second-best scoring effort of the campaign. The former Lakers forward has now scored in double digits in three games in a row, but he's seeing more volume and touches due to the fact that the roster is depleted rather than him having a bigger role on offense on a steady basis.

Kuzma amassed 12 points (4-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-6 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and one block in 29 minutes during Sunday's 117-96 loss to the 76ers.
EDGE Analysis
The fact that Kuzma needed 11 shots to record 12 points isn't encouraging, but he's now delivered two double-doubles after scoring in single digits in three straight games following a two-game absence earlier this month. Kuzma has been the Wizards' starting power forward with Rui Hachimura (personal) yet to play in 2021-22, but he's been far from dominant. In fact, he's reached the 15-point mark just twice across 10 games this month, averaging only 11.4 points per game in that span.

Kuzma's game against the Nets on Tuesday has been postponed, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Nets currently have nine players in the NBA's health and safety protocols and an additional four on the injury report. As a result, the NBA has opted to postpone their next two games, which includes Tuesday's meeting with the Wizards. The team will now look ahead to Thursday's matchup against the Knicks instead.

Kuzma cleared the league's health and safety protocols and is on track to play Wednesday against the Kings, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma took part in shootaround with the Wizards on Wednesday morning, so he appears set to return to the lineup after being held out of the last two games against Utah and Denver, respectively. Assuming that is, indeed, the case, Kuzma will likely reclaim the power forward spot from Deni Avdija, who made a pair of starts in his place.

Kuzma (COVID-19 protocols) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup against the Kings, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
EDGE Analysis
The forward has missed the past two games due to protocols but could return Wednesday. If he doesn't, Deni Avdija will presumably remain in the starting five.

Kuzma (COVID-19 protocols) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma will be sidelined for a second straight game after he entered the league's health and safety protocols Saturday. Davis Bertans, Deni Avdija and Anthony Gill should continue to see additional playing time in his absence.

Kuzma has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Jazz due to the league's health and safety protocols.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma had played at least 30 minutes in each of his last three appearances, but he'll now be sidelined due to the league's COVID-19 protocols. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return to the court, but Davis Bertans, Deni Avdija and Anthony Gill should take on increased roles in his absence.

Kuzma boomed for 26 points (8-18 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 6-7 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 119-116 overtime victory over Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma was clutch in the Wizards' overtime victory, sinking what was ultimately the game-winning basket. Kuzma's 26 points matched his season high, while bumping his scoring average to 13.4 per night through 26 appearances. An up-tempo scoring affair awaits him next when Utah comes to town on Saturday.

Kuzma ended with 14 points (6-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 39 minutes during Monday's 116-110 loss to Indiana.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma averaged 9.0 rebounds per game over the first two months of the season, but that has regulated to a more realistic 6.3 over his past eight games. That being said, Kuzma remains a rock solid fantasy given his sizable role and high floor.

Kuzma supplied 22 points (7-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), nine rebounds, four assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Saturday's 120-114 win over Dallas.
EDGE Analysis
Kuzma reached the 20-point mark for the first time since Nov. 10 thanks to a strong fourth quarter during which he posted 10 points. The fifth-year forward fell one rebound shy of notching his second straight double-double and has now posted at least four assists in four straight games. Kuzma has started every game in his first campaign with the Wizards, carving out a key role with per-game averages of 13.5 points, 9.2 boards, 2.7 dimes and 2.2 three-pointers.
