Wizards' Bilal Coulibaly: Scores 19 points off bench Monday
Coulibaly recorded 19 points (7-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, an assist, three steals and a block across 24 minutes off the bench in Monday's 131-122 preseason loss to the Nets.
Coulibaly provided an impressive two-way performance off Washington's bench, shooting 63.6 percent from the field while also notching strong numbers on the defensive end. This is a make-or-break year for Coulibaly, who's expected to open the season as a bench alternative after the Wizards drafted AJ Dybantsa with the first overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft. Coulibaly can be an intriguing fantasy option as long as he logs enough playing time, but his role remains uncertain this season after posting down numbers in the 2025-26 campaign, when he averaged 11.7 points, 4.3 boards and 2.6 assists per game -- all downgrades compared to 2024-25.

Wizards' Trae Young: Hands out 11 assists
Young finished with 11 points (1-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 8-8 FT), three rebounds, 11 assists and a steal across 28 minutes in Monday's 131-122 preseason loss to the Nets.
On one hand, Young struggled to find his shooting rhythm, making just one field goal and relying heavily on free throws for his scoring. However, the veteran point guard dazzled as a playmaker with 11 assists, even if the eight turnovers were concerning. Still, the fact that Young posted a double-double despite his offensive inefficiency is a great sign of him being ready for the start of the 2026-27 regular season. Young's passing volume remains an important fantasy asset, but his ball security and shooting efficiency will be worth monitoring. If he stays healthy, he should have a sizable role as the team's primary floor general in a dynamic lineup alongside AJ Dybantsa, Alex Sarr and Anthony Davis.

Wizards' AJ Dybantsa: Well-rounded stat line Monday
Dybantsa recorded 14 points (5-12 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists, a steal and a block across 25 minutes in Monday's 131-122 preseason loss to the Nets.
Dybantsa overcame a slow start to deliver an encouraging performance, becoming more involved offensively during the second half. His shooting efficiency remained inconsistent, but he contributed in several categories while grabbing four offensive rebounds. The rookie is slated to open the 2026-27 season as the Wizards' starting small forward and should see consistent playing time out of the get-go in his first year in the league.

Wizards' Tre Mann: Logs 12 minutes off bench
Mann finished with three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and one assist over 12 minutes in Monday's 131-119 preseason loss to the Nets.
Mann skipped Saturday's exhibition due to general soreness, but he was back in action Monday evening. Mann will battle Bub Carrington for the reserve minutes behind Trae Young, but he's not expected to have a significant role in the rotation.

Wizards' Khris Middleton: Remains out Monday
Middleton (rest) was unavailable for Monday's 131-122 preseason loss to Brooklyn, Greg Finberg of Wizardscentral.com reports.

Wizards' Kyshawn George: Nets 21 points on seven shots
George produced 21 points (6-7 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), one rebound, four assists and three steals over 25 minutes in Monday's 131-119 preseason loss to the Nets.
George was dialed in, missing only one shot while he was out there, and he was one of the few Washington players to finish with a positive plus-minus rating. George showed some impressive flashes last season, but he may struggle to assert himself in the offense when working alongside Trae Young, Anthony Davis, AJ Dybantsa and Alex Sarr.

Wizards' Deandre Ayton: Starting sans Davis

Davis logged 10 points (3-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal over 22 minutes during Saturday's 114-108 overtime win over the Pistons, but he'll take a seat Monday as the Wizards monitor his workload.

Wizards' Will Riley: All-around outing in preseason win
Riley notched 15 points (3-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 8-8 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block in 24 minutes during Saturday's 114-108 preseason win over the Pistons in overtime.
Riley didn't deliver his most efficient performance from the field. However, he got to the charity stripe often and didn't miss an attempt en route to a team-high-tying 15 points. The second-year forward also led the second unit in assists. Riley figures to compete with Khris Middleton (rest) and Justin Champagnie for playing time off the bench to begin the regular season.

Wizards' Tre Johnson: Gets hot off bench
Johnson recorded 15 points (5-9 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds and one assist in 19 minutes during Saturday's 114-108 preseason win over the Pistons in overtime.
After scoring five points on 2-for-6 shooting in Thursday's preseason-opening win over New York, Johnson bounced back Saturday. The second-year guard tied for the team lead in scoring and led all players in three-pointers made. The 20-year-old figures to begin the regular season in a bench role behind Kyshawn George.

Dybantsa recorded 14 points (4-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-10 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one steal across 23 minutes in Saturday's 114-108 preseason win over Detroit in overtime.
Dybantsa got to the charity stripe often but wasn't very efficient. Still, the rookie first overall pick tied for second on the team in scoring and finished second in rebounds behind Anthony Davis. Dybantsa has scored in double figures in back-to-back games to begin the preseason, totaling 25 points, nine rebounds, five steals and four assists in 46 minutes.

Wizards' Anthony Davis: Double-doubles in preseason win
Davis logged 10 points (3-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal over 22 minutes during Saturday's 114-108 overtime win over the Pistons.
All of Davis' production came in the first half, with the veteran big man observing the entire second half from the bench. He's scored in double digits in limited playing time across his first two preseason games, and Davis will likely continue to operate under a minutes restriction to keep him fresh ahead of the Wizards' regular-season opener against the Bucks on Wednesday, Oct. 21.

Wizards' Deandre Ayton: Not starting Saturday

Mann is out for Saturday's game against the Pistons due to general soreness, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Sarr underwent a procedure in mid-June to repair a fracture in his right foot, and he's progressed enough in his recovery to make his preseason debut Saturday. He'll likely operate under a heavy minutes restriction, but it's a positive sign to see the third-year big man on the floor before the 2026-27 regular season commences.
