Not starting Saturday
Riley won't start against the Raptors on Saturday, Blake Murphy of Sportsnet.ca reports.
Analyse
The rookie first-rounder got the spot start in Thursday's loss to Atlanta but will slide to the second unit with Kyshawn George (knee) back in the lineup. Over his last five outings off the bench, Riley has averaged 10.2 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 21.0 minutes per tilt.

Cleared to play Saturday
Riley (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Raptors.
Analyse
Riley popped up on Friday's injury report due to a right ankle contusion, but the rookie first-rounder has been given the green light to play in Saturday's home contest. He started Thursday's 126-96 loss to the Hawks on Thursday and finished with 14 points, 10 rebounds, four assists and one steal over 36 minutes, marking the first double-double of his NBA career.

Questionable with bruised ankle
Riley is questionable for Saturday's game against Toronto with a right ankle contusion.
Analyse
Fresh off securing his first career triple-double in Thursday's loss to the Hawks, Riley is at risk of sitting out for the first time since Jan. 9. The possible absence of Riley would likely get Bilal Coulibaly in the streaming mix in all leagues, with Justin Champagnie also being a candidate for an amplified role in this scenario.

Tallies first career double-double
Riley logged 14 points (6-17 FG, 2-7 3Pt), 10 rebounds, four assists and one steal across 36 minutes during Thursday's 126-96 loss to the Hawks.
Analyse
Riley drew the third start of his NBA career Thursday, and he took full advantage of the opportunity. He was one of four Washington players to score 14 points, and he paced the Wizards with 10 rebounds. However, Riley will presumably relinquish his starting role once Kyshawn George (knee) is cleared to return, which could come as early as Saturday against Toronto.

Starting Thursday
Riley will start Thursday versus the Hawks.
Analyse
Riley will fill in for Kyshawn George, who is nursing a knee injury, and he'll be joined in the first unit by Bub Carrington, Tre Johnson, Bilal Coulibaly and Tristan Vukcevic. Riley played well in his previous two starts this season with averages of 17.0 points, 2.0 assists, 2.5 triples and 2.0 swipes per contest, so he's on the radar as a potential streamer Thursday evening.

Sees 31 minutes Sunday
Riley finished Sunday's 129-112 loss to the Hornets with 11 points (4-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal across 31 minutes.
Analyse
After logging just 12 and four minutes in his previous two outings, Riley cracked the 30-minute mark for the third time this season and delivered a decent all-around performance. The rookie forward has flashed legitimate upside when given extended run. In 10 games with at least 25 minutes, Riley is averaging 14.2 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 2.0 threes and 1.3 steals, although it remains difficult to trust any player in the Wizards rotation right now.
