Scott has officially been placed in the NBA's concussion protocol, Candace Buckner of the Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Scott took a shot to the head during Wednesday's regular-season finale against the Magic and after undergoing additional tests following the game, has now been placed in the league-mandated protocol. He didn't travel with the team on their flight home from Orlando and at this point, his availability for Saturday's playoff opener against the Raptors is uncertain. Scott has provided some solid relief off the bench in the frontcourt and over the last 10 games of the regular season, posted averages of 10.7 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.8 assists across 22.2 minutes. Jason Smith would likely be called upon for added relief as a reserve if Scott is forced to miss any postseason action.

Head coach Scott Brooks said Scott was evaluated for a concussion following Wednesday's game against the Magic, Candace Buckner of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Scott needed help getting to the locker room after taking a blow to the head during Wednesday's loss to the Magic. Consider him day-to-day for now, while more should be known in the coming days.

Scott scored 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-2 3Pt) while adding two rebounds and an assist in 21 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 119-115 loss to the Cavaliers.
EDGE Analysis
He was the only Wizards bench player to score in double digits, something Scott has done in five of the last six games while averaging 11.7 points, 3.8 boards, 1.8 assists and 1.3 three-pointers. The veteran forward should continue to see an uptick in his production over the final few games of the regular season, as other than Kelly Oubre Washington lacks consistent performers on their second unit.

Scott (illness) will be available for Friday's contest against the Nuggets, Candace Buckner of The Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Scott was ruled out for Wednesday's contest as a result of flu-like symptoms, but he's gotten over the illness and should slide back into his usual role. Over his past five appearances, he's averaged 8.0 points, 2.2 rebounds and 2.0 assists across 15.6 minutes.

Scott (illness) has been ruled out of Wednesday's game against the Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
It's uncertain just how sick Scott, making his status for Friday's game against the Nuggets is questionable at this time. Scott was averaging 17.5 minutes per game in March, and his absence could result in Markieff Morris and Ian Mahinmi seeing a larger role.

Scott will be a game-time decision for Wednesday's contest against San Antonio after sitting out morning shootaround due to flu-like symptoms, Chris Miller of NBCS Washington reports.
EDGE Analysis
Both Scott and Jodie Meeks (illness) are both questionable with seemingly the same illness, which could leave the Wizards relatively short-handed in both the front and backcourt. Absences to one or both players could result in Kelly Oubre seeing an expanded role. Jason Smith could also be thrown into the rotation.

Scott scored 14 points (6-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT) while adding four rebounds and three assists in 15 minutes off the bench during Friday's 116-97 win over the Pelicans.
EDGE Analysis
He's scored in double digits only twice in the last 10 games, and Scott's role on the bench isn't large enough to provide him with consistent fantasy value. The 29-year-old is still contributing in his limited court time -- his 53.6 percent shooting on the season would be a career high -- but it would likely take a Markieff Morris injury to make Scott a viable option on most fantasy rosters.

Scott had four points (2-6 FG), two assists, and one rebound in 14 minutes during Tuesday's 107-104 win over the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
Scott was quiet in this one, and he hasn't been able to recapture the glory of December, when he averaged 11.7 points and 3.8 boards in 20.6 minutes per night. More often than not Scott ends up in the teens minute-wise, which doesn't provide him with a ton of opportunity to fill up the stat sheet on a regular basis.

Scott (illness) will be available for Monday's game against the Pacers, Candace Buckner of the Washington Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
An illness kept Scott out of Saturday's game against the Magic, but he was back at shootaround Monday morning and has been given the all-clear to return to action. With Scott back, Jason Smith, who played 15 minutes Saturday, will likely sink back into a minimal role.

Scott (illness) will not play Saturday against Orlando, Josh Robbins of the Orlando Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Scott fell ill earlier in the day, and he'll be held out Saturday after playing 19 minutes off the bench in the Wizards' last game Thursday versus Toronto. In Scott's absence, expect Jason Smith and Chris McCullough to pick up a few extra minutes, as well as perhaps Kelly Oubre if the Wizards go with a smaller lineup.
