Kispert will start against the Hawks on Saturday.
Kispert will replace Jordan Poole in the starting lineup, as the star shooting guard is out due to left ankle soreness. This will be the first start of the season for Kispert, who's averaging 11.6 points per game over his last five outings.

Wizards' Corey Kispert: Drains six triples Friday
Rotowire
Kispert racked up 20 points (7-12 FG, 6-10 3Pt), five rebounds and one assist over 33 minutes during Friday's 131-128 loss to the Bucks.
Though Kispert came off the bench (as he has throughout the campaign), his 33 minutes were second-most on Washington. The 24-year-old certainly justified the hefty playing time by hitting the 20-point mark for the second time this season on the strength of an impressive 6-for-10 shooting performance from deep. Kispert's playing time and production have varied too much for him to be a reliable fantasy asset, but he's established some value in deep leagues as a three-point specialist with 2.0 triples per contest on 38.9 percent shooting from beyond the arc. Managers should be aware, however, that Kispert has yet to show an ability to produce in other categories over his NBA career thus far.

Wizards' Corey Kispert: Leads bench in loss
Rotowire
Kispert poured in 12 points (3-8 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four assists and a rebound in Wednesday's 130-117 loss to the Mavericks.
Although the Wizards are in the midst of a four-game losing streak, Kispert's production certainly has not wavered, as he's averaged 11.3 points, 2.8 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 0.8 steals on 40 percent shooting from three in that stretch. Expect the sharpshooter to continue seeing extended minutes in the wake of Delon Wright's (knee) absence.

Rotowire
Kispert closed Friday's 124-117 loss to the Hornets with 15 points (5-6 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and three rebounds over 16 minutes.
Kispert's 15 points were his second-highest total in seven games this season and his fourth time reaching double digits. The depth guard is now averaging 10.6 points, 2.1 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 0.9 assists and 2.0 triples across 21.0 minutes per game on the young season.

Wizards' Corey Kispert: Scores 22 in victory
Rotowire
Kispert closed with 22 points (8-14 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 32 minutes during Saturday's 113-106 win over the Grizzlies.
Kispert came off the bench for a second consecutive matchup Saturday but saw plenty of playing time and doubled his scoring total from Opening Night. The 24-year-old has unsurprisingly been unable to generate much production in secondary categories, but it's been encouraging to see him open the year with back-to-back double-digit scoring totals.

Wizards' Corey Kispert: Scores 11 in defeat
Rotowire
Kispert notched 11 points (4-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and one assist in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 143-120 loss to the Pacers.
The Wizards struggled to keep up during Wednesday's regular-season opener, but Kispert put together a decent stat line off the bench while seeing ample playing time. Washington isn't expected to be competitive this year, so it's possible Kispert's role remains steady after he averaged 11.1 points and 2.8 rebounds in 28.3 minutes per game last season.

Wizards' Corey Kispert: Drops 29 points in loss
Rotowire
Kispert closed with 29 points (10-19 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 5-5 FT) and three rebounds across 34 minutes during Sunday's 118-109 loss to the Knicks.
Kispert has posted season-high point totals in back-to-back games, as the Wizards continue to run out a depleted roster. Kristaps Porzingis (illness), Bradley Beal (knee), Monte Morris (ankle) and Kyle Kuzma (ankle) all missed Sunday's game, giving Kispert a chance to lead the Wizards in shots. Outside of points and threes, Kispert won't produce much for fantasy managers. But Kispert has been a top-50 player in nine-category leagues over the past week, making him an important fantasy asset for the final week of the season.

Wizards' Corey Kispert: Erupts for 27 points
Rotowire
Kispert amassed 27 points (9-14 FG, 9-14 3Pt) and three rebounds over 42 minutes during Friday's 116-109 loss to the Magic.
Kispert's 27 points mark a new career best, and the same is true for his nine makes from three-point range. He ended up just one three-pointer away from the Wizards' single game record. The three highest scoring games in Kispert's career have come in March, and he's doing a wonderful job picking up the slack offensively with the Wizards missing several key players.

Wizards' Corey Kispert: Another strong scoring performance
Rotowire
Kispert chipped in 19 points (7-16 FG, 5-11 3Pt) and three rebounds across 40 minutes during Sunday's 114-104 loss to the Raptors.
Kispert has been on a roll of late, surpassing the 15-point mark in his last two starts and scoring in double digits in six of his previous eight outings. Kispert is seeing more time due to the team's injuries, and he could be a viable fantasy option Tuesday against the Celtics as long as he remains in the starting role, which is not set in stone as of now.

Wizards' Corey Kispert: Erupts for 26 points
Rotowire
Kispert ended Friday's 136-124 win over San Antonio with 26 points (9-14 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 2-5 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one block over 36 minutes.
Bradley Beal has a "mild" left knee sprain and is day-to-day, but with Washington sitting in 12th place in the Eastern Conference, the Wizards may proceed with caution. Kispert had the greenest of lights Friday night as he set a new career-high for points, and he's cleared 30 minutes in six of his last seven games. His fantasy trajectory is pointing straight up.

Wizards' Corey Kispert: Struggles with shot in start
Rotowire
Kispert ended with nine points (3-10 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 118-104 loss to the Nuggets.
Kispert has started four of the last five games, partially due to Bradley Beal (knee) and Kyle Kuzma (ankle) missing time. The second-year guard had another opportunity, but he couldn't knock down shots, as he tied his season high with six missed threes. Kispert also failed to help in other categories and finished with a pedestrian box score. Even if Beal and Kuzma miss more time, Kispert will be tough to trust as a streaming option.
