Bilal Coulibaly will miss his fourth consecutive game with a left calf contusion against the Pelicans this Wednesday. In his absence, rookie Tre Johnson has been promoted to the starting lineup and could be a valuable asset in deeper fantasy leagues. Johnson’s role may continue to grow, particularly if the Wizards adjust their roster at the trade deadline.

In today’s matchup against the Celtics, Wizards’ guard Bilal Coulibaly left early due to lower left leg tightness and will not return. With the game out of reach and Coulibaly limited to 16 minutes, scoring one point and dishing out three assists, rookies Tre Johnson and Will Riley are expected to see increased minutes. If Coulibaly’s absence extends, Johnson could become the more valuable fantasy option moving forward.
