WAS
Not playing Wednesday vs. Brooklyn
Sarr sprained his left ankle Jan. 27 against the Pistons, and the injury has been severe enough for him to miss his fifth straight game Wednesday. There isn't a clear timeline for the rookie center's return, so Jonas Valanciunas will continue to start for the Wizards while Richaun Holmes serves as the main backup. Friday's bout against the East-leading Cavaliers will be Sarr's next opportunity to see the court.

Season-high seven assists in win
Brogdon had his best game since returning from a 14-game absence during Monday's win against the Hornets. The veteran guard finished with a season-high seven assists in the win over Charlotte, adding 16 points and four rebounds, which is a promising sign for the Wizards and fantasy owners.

Game-high 26 points Monday
Coulibaly's scoring total was one point shy from matching his season high, and Monday was the first time since Dec. 26 that he scored at least 20 points. It was a welcome turn of events for the second-year forward from France had been shooting just 39.8 percent from the field over his last 10 outings (including 18.4 percent from three). Coulibaly will look to keep the hot hand going against the Nets on Wednesday.

Racks up 25 points off bench
Kispert did most of his damage in the first half with 21 of his 25 points coming over the first two quarters of Monday's win. He cooled off in the second half, but he finished the game with the seocnd-best point-differential (plus-20) and second-most points behind Justin Champagnie (plus-26) and Bilal Coulibaly (26), respectively. Kispert has scored in double digits in three of his last five games, and he'll look to carry that momentum into Wednesday's game against the Nets.

Hauls in 17 boards vs. Charlotte
Valanciunas grabbed a season-high 17 rebounds Monday, eight of which came on the offensive glass, en route to his second-straight double-double and 14th of the regular season. Alex Sarr continues to rehab his way back from a left ankle sprain, and Valanciunas will remain as Washington's starting center for as long as the No. 2 overall pick is sidelined. Valanciunas and the Wizards will wrap up their quick two-game road trip Wednesday against Brooklyn.
