McBride finished with six points (2-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and two rebounds in 16 minutes during Thursday's 111-109 preseason loss to Washington.

McBride had difficulty finding his shooting touch, connecting on just one of his five three-point attempts. The reserve guard should continue providing New York with perimeter defense and outside shooting, though his fantasy production will likely fluctuate depending on his playing time and offensive opportunities behind Jalen Brunson.

Mann finished with six points (2-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and four assists in 16 minutes during Thursday's 111-109 preseason victory over New York.

Mann struggled with his shot but provided solid rebounding and playmaking off the bench. The veteran guard also committed three turnovers, and his role in Washington's backcourt remains uncertain with Trae Young and several younger guards competing for opportunities. Mann could provide scoring and assists when given sufficient playing time, though consistent fantasy production may be difficult to achieve.

Johnson recorded five points (2-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt) and one rebound in 18 minutes during Thursday's 111-109 preseason victory over New York.

Johnson struggled to establish an offensive rhythm, attempting just six shots while contributing little outside the scoring column. The young guard will look to build consistency during Washington's remaining preseason games, but the Wizards' crowded backcourt could make regular playing time difficult to secure.

Riley finished with two points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one steal in 19 minutes during Thursday's 111-109 preseason victory over New York.

Riley struggled to generate much offense but connected on a go-ahead floater early in the fourth quarter that helped Washington complete its comeback. The young forward should have opportunities to demonstrate his scoring potential throughout the preseason, though he faces considerable competition for regular-season minutes.

Champagnie recorded 12 points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, two steals and two blocks in 19 minutes during Thursday's 111-109 preseason victory over New York.

Champagnie delivered one of Washington's more productive all-around performances, contributing efficiently on offense while collecting four combined steals and blocks. His ability to provide defensive production and complementary scoring could help him maintain a role in the Wizards' wing rotation, although competition for minutes remains significant.

Coulibaly finished with two points (1-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt), five rebounds and one assist in 19 minutes during Thursday's 111-109 preseason win over New York.

Coulibaly endured a difficult shooting performance, connecting on just one field-goal attempt while committing two turnovers. The young wing will look to establish a more consistent offensive rhythm during Washington's remaining preseason contests, though his defensive versatility should continue to help him compete for substantial regular-season minutes.

Carrington recorded 11 points (3-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 17 minutes during Thursday's 111-109 preseason win over New York.

Carrington shot efficiently from the field and beyond the arc, although he committed four turnovers against just one assist. With Trae Young running Washington's offense, Carrington may have fewer opportunities to handle the ball this season, making his preseason development as an off-ball contributor particularly important.

Minott recorded four points (1-5 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-5 FT), three rebounds and one assist in 18 minutes during Thursday's 114-108 preseason victory over Philadelphia.

Minott endured a difficult shooting performance, converting just one field-goal attempt and missing four of his five free throws. The 23-year-old forward also committed two turnovers while seeing time off the bench. Minott will look to bounce back during Brooklyn's remaining preseason contests as he competes for minutes in a crowded forward rotation.

James recorded 10 points (1-1 FG, 8-8 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one steal in 18 minutes during Thursday's 114-108 preseason loss to Brooklyn.

James made his first appearance in a Philadelphia uniform after joining the franchise during the offseason, taking just one field-goal attempt while focusing primarily on facilitating the offense. The 41-year-old forward played exclusively in the first half and converted all eight of his free-throw attempts. James figures to remain a significant fantasy contributor in his 24th NBA season, though his scoring opportunities could decrease alongside Tyrese Maxey, Joel Embiid and Jaylen Brown.

Edwards finished with seven points (3-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt), five rebounds and one block in 17 minutes during Thursday's 114-108 preseason loss to Brooklyn.

Edwards struggled from beyond the arc but contributed on the glass while seeing 17 minutes off the bench. The 22-year-old forward faces increased competition for playing time following Philadelphia's offseason additions of LeBron James and Jaylen Brown. Edwards will need to make the most of his remaining preseason opportunities as he competes for a consistent reserve role.
