Hits for 18 in Philly
Coulibaly totaled 18 points (7-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and two assists in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 131-110 loss to the 76ers.
Analyse
The third-year forward didn't deliver much in secondary categories, but Coulibaly still scored in double digits for the eighth time in nine games since returning from a minor ankle sprain. Over that span, he's averaging 13.4 points, 6.0 boards, 2.1 assists, 1.9 steals, 1.1 threes and 1.0 blocks. Coulibaly could be one of the players who benefits once Trae Young officially joins the roster, if he becomes one of the primary connections for the All-Star point guard.

Career-high five steals in win
Coulibaly posted 14 points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and five steals over 34 minutes during the Wizards' 120-112 win over the Magic on Tuesday.
Analyse
Coulibaly finished as the Wizards' fourth-leading scorer and was two rebounds shy from registering his first double-double of the season, but he made his presence felt mostly on the defensive end with a career high in steals. It's been an up-and-down season for the third-year pro due to multiple injuries, but in eight games since Dec. 23, he has averaged 12.9 points, 6.6 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.0 threes, 2.1 steals and 1.1 blocks over 27.6 minutes per game.

Seasons-high four steals
Coulibaly totaled 11 points (2-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 7-8 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, two blocks and four steals in 29 minutes during Friday's 119-99 victory over the Nets.
Analyse
Coulibaly delivered six combined steals and blocks, somewhat negating the fact that he continues to struggle with his shot. Despite scoring double digits in six straight games, he has shot just 39.4 percent from the floor during that time. Assuming you can absorb his inefficient shooting, Coulibaly is worth rostering in standard leagues, specifically for those in need of defensive contributions.
