Neto (ribs) will be a game-time call for Monday's matchup against Milwaukee.
EDGE Analysis
Neto took a hit to the ribs during Saturday's loss to Milwaukee, landing him on the injury report with a questionable designation. He'll go through a pregame workout before a final call is made on his status, but, ultimately, it will likely be a matter of pain tolerance. The reserve guard has held down a consistent role for most of the season, playing between 20 and 28 minutes in each of the Wizards' last 14 contests.

Neto is questionable for Monday's game against Milwaukee due to a left rib contusion.
EDGE Analysis
Neto had been healthy since suffering a bruised left knee at the end of February, but he apparently sustained a rib injury during Saturday's loss to the Bucks. If he's unable to play Monday, Troy Brown and Garrison Mathews could see increased run for Washington.

Neto (knee) isn't listed on the injury report for Sunday's game against the Celtics.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old exited Saturday's win over Minnesota with a bruised left knee, but it's apparently a minor issue since he's absent from the injury report. Neto should continue to work as Washington's backup point guard behind starter Russell Westbrook.

Neto won't return to Saturday's game against the Timberwolves due to a bruised left knee.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old suffered the injury during the second half and won't be retaking the court with the contest in its closing stages. Neto had three points (1-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt), six assists and two rebounds in 26 minutes before heading to the locker room. He should be considered questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Celtics until more is known on the injury.

Neto tallied 15 points (5-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five steals, four assists and two rebounds across 28 minutes off the bench Thursday in the Wizards' 112-110 win over the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
With Davis Bertans (knee) sitting out, Neto, Troy Brown (16 minutes) and Rui Hachimura (38 minutes) were the main players who benefited from boosts in playing time. Neto, who had averaged 22.6 minutes per game over the previous five games, used the extra run to churn out one of his better lines of the season. The steal total was a bit of an outlier, but Neto has shown an ability to be a decent streamer in that category when handed extended minutes. He's averaging 1.2 steals in 19.6 minutes per game on the campaign.

Neto recorded 14 points (5-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one steal in 20 minutes during Wednesday's 130-128 win over the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
Neto made every shot he took Wednesday as the Wizards secured an upset victory over the Nuggets. Neto continues to see backup minutes in the backcourt to the tune of 8.0 points, 3.1 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.0 steals per game across the past seven contests.

Neto had 12 points (4-9 FG, 4-4 FT, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds and a steal in Monday's win over the Rockets.
EDGE Analysis
Coming off the bench behind Russell Westbrook, Neto saw 27 minutes -- his second-most in any game this season -- and posted his first double-digit scoring effort since Feb. 7. Neto has at least one steal in four straight contests.

Neto will come off the bench Wednesday against the Raptors, freelance NBA reporter Quinton Mayo reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old started Monday but will move back to the bench with Russell Westbrook (rest) returning to action Wednesday. Neto had a minutes restriction of 18 to 20 minutes for that contest and could face similar limitations versus Toronto.

Neto will start Monday's game against the Bulls, Fred Katz of The Athletic reports. He'll be limited to roughly 18 to 20 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
With Russell Westbrook out for rest on the second night of a back-to-back, Neto will move into the lineup at point guard for his sixth start of the season. He finished with 10 points, two rebounds, two steals and an assist in Sunday's loss to Charlotte, which marked his return from a four-game absence due to a groin injury. With that in mind, the Wizards will play it safe and place a hard cap on Neto's workload Monday.
