Riley chipped in 20 points (8-19 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Monday's 120-101 loss to the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

Riley was unable to find his shot beyond the arc in the loss, but he was still able to deliver a serviceable line to lead the team. Bilal Coulibaly (heel) was held out of Monday's game, which earned Riley another start. Injuries throughout the roster have given Riley eight opportunities with the first unit over the past 10 games, and he's averaged a solid 15.7 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.1 assists over that span.

Riley will start Monday's game against the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie first-rounder came off the bench in the Wizards' last two contests. However, with an extensive list of injuries for Washington, Riley will return to the starting lineup. The 20-year-old has played well in 13 starts this season, during which he has averaged 15.2 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 0.1 blocks and 0.8 steals in 33.5 minutes per tilt.

Riley finished with 22 points (8-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, five assists and two steals over 29 minutes during Friday's 131-126 loss to Golden State.

EDGE Analysis

Riley has been one of the brightest spots for the Wizards this season, and his emergence as a reliable contributor after the All-Star break has been promising. Riley has scored at least 15 points in five of his last seven outings, and this 22-point output off the bench was his best scoring mark since he had 22 points in a loss to the Heat on March 10. Riley has been a popular addition in most fantasy formats, and the numbers back him up since he's averaging 15.0 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game in 19 appearances since the All-Star break.

Riley won't start Friday's game against the Warriors.

EDGE Analysis

With Tre Johnson (foot) returning to the lineup following a three-game absence, Riley will retreat to the second unit. The 20-year-old out of Illinois has averaged 15.2 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 29.2 minutes per contest over his last five outings off the bench.

Riley notched 19 points (6-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 10 rebounds and five assists in 22 minutes during Wednesday's 133-110 victory over the Jazz.

EDGE Analysis

The 17-55 Wizards continue to take a long look at the rookie first-rounder, who submitted his second double-double of the campaign. Riley has started nine games in a row, averaging 14.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.9 three-pointers in 33.1 minutes per tilt.

Riley (adductor) will play in Saturday's game against OKC.

EDGE Analysis

Riley was considered questionable heading into Saturday's game. However, he'll avoid his first absence since Jan. 9. The 2025 No. 21 overall pick has had the best month of his inaugural career, averaging 15.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.1 blocks in March (10 games). He's also started in each of the Wizards' previous six contests. That trend should continue, considering Tre Johnson (foot) and Trae Young (back) aren't available.

Riley is questionable for Saturday's game against Oklahoma City due to right adductor soreness.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie first-rounder is in jeopardy of missing his first contest since Jan. 9. A potential absence for Riley would likely free up a spot in the starting lineup for either Justin Champagnie or Jamir Watkins Saturday.

Riley accumulated 15 points (5-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist over 40 minutes during Thursday's 117-95 loss to Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

The Wizards have spread out their minutes quite a bit in recent weeks, so the fact that Riley logged 40 on Thursday is a great sign for his fantasy appeal moving forward. The Wizards were missing several players due to injuries and maintenance Thursday, but that's likely to be a normal occurrence down the stretch.

Riley finished with 21 points (6-13 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five assists and four rebounds over 39 minutes during Monday's 125-117 loss to the Warriors.

EDGE Analysis

Riley bounced back from a pair of single-digit scoring efforts over his previous two games with a 21-point performance. Monday marked the rookie's fourth 20-point outing of the year, as well as the fourth time he's connected on four triples in a game. After not seeing consistent playing time to open the campaign, Riley has emerged as a consistent contributor down the stretch for the Wizards, logging 25-plus minutes in each of his past 12 appearances.

Riley ended with five points (2-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt), five rebounds and three assists in 29 minutes during Saturday's 111-100 loss to the Celtics.

EDGE Analysis

Riley managed just five points, the fewest he has scored in his past 13 games. Despite playing a consistent role, Riley has struggled to put up standard-league value, averaging just 13.3 points and 1.2 three-pointers in 28.1 minutes per game in 13 appearances over the past month. While he can be relied upon for minutes, his production resembles that of a streaming option rather than someone who needs to be rostered.
