Wizards' Corey Kispert: Goes for 25 points Tuesday
Rotowire
Kispert posted 25 points (9-17 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and five assists over 36 minutes during Tuesday's 130-121 loss to Minnesota.
Kispert earned a regular starting role on March 10 and never looked back, establishing himself as a reliable scoring alternative on a rebuilding Wizards team. Kispert has scored in double digits in each of his last 12 contests, a span in which he's averaging 18.4 points per game while shooting an impressive 43.2 percent from three-point range. He should have decent fantasy upside in Washington's final two games of the campaign, as he's also averaging 13.3 shots per game in that 12-game stretch.

Wizards' Corey Kispert: First career double-double
Rotowire
Kispert posted 19 points (6-18 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and two steals in 39 minutes during Monday's 107-105 win over the Bulls.
The 12 boards were a career high for Kispert as he pulled down his first career double-double. The third-year forward was making his ninth straight start, and he's averaged 15.9 points, 3.4 boards, 3.2 threes, 2.0 assists and 1.0 steals over that stretch while shooting 50.5 percent from the floor and 46.8 percent from beyond the arc. The 15th overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft is having a bit of a breakout for a Wizards team headed back to the lottery, but it's not clear where Kispert fits in the team's long-term plans with Kyle Kuzma (shoulder) and Deni Avdija (illness) also on the roster.

Rotowire
Kispert will come off the bench for Saturday's game against the Bulls.
The Wizards are shaking things up with Tyus Jones (back) sitting out. Jordan Poole will enter the starting lineup along with Richaun Holmes. Despite this move, Kispert figures to maintain a significant role off the bench.
