Paces team with 20 points
Riley chipped in 20 points (8-19 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Monday's 120-101 loss to the Lakers.
Analyse
Riley was unable to find his shot beyond the arc in the loss, but he was still able to deliver a serviceable line to lead the team. Bilal Coulibaly (heel) was held out of Monday's game, which earned Riley another start. Injuries throughout the roster have given Riley eight opportunities with the first unit over the past 10 games, and he's averaged a solid 15.7 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.1 assists over that span.

Starting versus Lakers
Riley will start Monday's game against the Lakers.
Analyse
The rookie first-rounder came off the bench in the Wizards' last two contests. However, with an extensive list of injuries for Washington, Riley will return to the starting lineup. The 20-year-old has played well in 13 starts this season, during which he has averaged 15.2 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 0.1 blocks and 0.8 steals in 33.5 minutes per tilt.

Another strong showing
Riley finished with 22 points (8-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, five assists and two steals over 29 minutes during Friday's 131-126 loss to Golden State.
Analyse
Riley has been one of the brightest spots for the Wizards this season, and his emergence as a reliable contributor after the All-Star break has been promising. Riley has scored at least 15 points in five of his last seven outings, and this 22-point output off the bench was his best scoring mark since he had 22 points in a loss to the Heat on March 10. Riley has been a popular addition in most fantasy formats, and the numbers back him up since he's averaging 15.0 points, 3.9 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game in 19 appearances since the All-Star break.

Analyse

Analyse
The 17-55 Wizards continue to take a long look at the rookie first-rounder, who submitted his second double-double of the campaign. Riley has started nine games in a row, averaging 14.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.9 three-pointers in 33.1 minutes per tilt.
