Riley is not in the Wizards' starting lineup against the Heat on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie first-rounder is coming off a career performance Saturday against the Nets, when he tallied 27 points, three rebounds, two assists, three steals, one block and four three-pointers over 45 minutes. Riley has seen more playing time as of late and has averaged 19.0 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 2.0 steals over his last five outings, but he will come off the bench Sunday due to the returns of Bilal Coulibaly and Kyshawn George.

Riley generated 27 points (10-19 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists, three steals and one block across 45 minutes of Saturday's 127-113 loss to Brooklyn.

EDGE Analysis

The Wizards had just eight players available Saturday, allowing for Riley to make his second career start. He played 15 more minutes than his previous career high, and his 27 points were also a new best. Riley has etched out a steady role with the Wizards as a rookie, and he's now scored in double figures in five consecutive games. In 43 regular-season appearances thus far, Riley is averaging 7.0 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists across 16.2 minutes.

Riley will start against the Nets on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

The Wizards have only eight players available for the front end of this back-to-back set, so Riley will join the starting five for the second time this season and should see significant minutes. The rookie first-rounder has scored in double figures in four straight games, averaging 17.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.8 steals across 27.3 minutes per game during that span.

Riley closed Thursday's 126-117 win over the Pistons with 20 points (9-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 0-3 FT), six rebounds, five assists and two steals over 29 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Riley benefitted from a thin rotation Thursday as the team is still working to finalize several trades that went down before the deadline. He led the Wizards in scoring despite being deployed off the bench, marking the first time in his career he's reached the 20-point mark. Riley is certainly making a strong case to remain involved in the rotation even after the club is at full strength.

Riley ended Tuesday's 132-101 loss to the Knicks with 17 points (5-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds and one assist across 25 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Despite coming off the bench, Riley actually wound up leading the Wizards in scoring during Tuesday's lopsided affair. If Washington decides to move Khris Middleton's expiring contract prior to Thursday's trade deadline, the door to more playing time could open for Riley. The rookie first-rounder has shown glimpses of his potential across his last seven outings, during which he has averaged 11.4 points, 2.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 2.3 three-pointers in 22.0 minutes per game while shooting 45.7 percent from downtown.

Riley chipped in 18 points (6-15 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one steal in 30 minutes during Sunday's 116-112 win over the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

Riley did the majority of his damage from beyond the arc, helping him to lead the Wizards in scoring despite being deployed off the bench. The Illinois product has been feeling good from downtown of late, now converting on seven of his last 15 attempts over the last two games. It was promising to see Riley play key minutes in a tightly contested matchup, with his 30 minutes on the court marking a new career high for the rookie forward.

Riley finished with 13 points (5-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt), five assists, four steals and two rebounds over 25 minutes during Friday's 142-111 loss to the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

Although Riley struggled with efficiency from the field, he still scored in double figures for the second time over his last five outings. The rookie first-rounder saw increased playing time in the blowout win and turned in a solid all-around performance. He set career highs in both assists and steals, leading the Wizards in swipes. The 19-year-old forward has seen double-digit minutes in each of Washington's last nine outings and may continue to see meaningful playing time with the Wizards seemingly focusing on their youth movement.

Riley will come off the bench for Tuesday's game versus the Trail Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

Riley received a spot start in Saturday's loss to the Hornets with Khris Middleton (foot) unavailable, but Middleton is back and starting Tuesday, which will shift Riley back to the second unit. As a reserve this season, Riley has posted averages of 5.3 points and 2.0 rebounds per game.

Riley is in the Wizards' starting lineup against the Hornets on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

With Kris Middleton (foot) sidelined, Riley will enter the Wizards' starting lineup for the first time in his NBA career. Riley has averaged 7.4 points, 2.6 rebounds and 0.9 assists over 18.6 minutes per game over his last nine outings, but Saturday presents an opportunity for the rookie first-rounder to earn a larger role for himself in the Wizards' rotation.

Riley amassed 13 points (4-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds and one steal in 21 minutes during Thursday's 107-97 loss to the Nuggets.

EDGE Analysis

With Trae Young (knee) still several weeks away from making his team debut, Riley has a considerable runway to extra minutes. Even so, the rookie first-rounder has averaged just 7.4 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 18.7 minutes per contest over nine games this month and doesn't yet carry much fantasy appeal.
