Porzingis will have a couple of days to rest up before the Wizards take on the Bucks on Tuesday.

Wizards' Kristaps Porzingis: Questionable Sunday
Rotowire
Porzingis (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Knicks, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.
Porzingis is coming off a one-game absence due to an illness. He was a partial participant at Saturday's practice, so he is seemingly trending in the right direction. Still, his final status will depend on how he feels closer to tip-off. Some combination of Deni Avdija, Taj Gibson and Anthony Gill would presumably be in line for extra minutes if he is ultimately ruled out again.

Rotowire
Porzingis is questionable for Friday's game against the Magic due to a non-COVID illness, Ava Wallace of The Washington Post reports.

Wizards' Kristaps Porzingis: Big double-double against Boston
Rotowire
Porzingis ended Tuesday's 130-111 victory over the Celtics with 32 points (14-21 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 13 rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal in 34 minutes.
It's Porzingis' first double-double since March 5 and his 20th of the season -- just the third time in his career he's reached that mark. The 27-year-old has scored at least 20 points in six straight games, averaging 26.0 points, 7.7 boards, 3.5 assists, 2.3 threes, 1.5 blocks and 1.0 steals over that stretch while shooting 57.7 percent from the floor, 46.7 percent from beyond the arc and 95.7 percent from the free-throw line as the Wizards try to claw their way back into the playoff picture.
Wizards' Kristaps Porzingis: Carries shorthanded Wizards in loss
Rotowire
Porzingis totaled 26 points (9-17 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two steals across 34 minutes during Sunday's 114-104 loss to the Raptors.
Porzingis was Washington's go-to player on offense due to the absences of Kyle Kuzma (ankle) and Bradley Beal (knee), and the Latvian big man responded by putting up his fifth straight game with at least 20 points. Injuries have plagued Porzingis throughout this career, but he has missed just one game in March while averaging 23.9 points and 7.4 rebounds across 32.6 minutes per contest in that span (13 games).

Wizards' Kristaps Porzingis: Posts great line in limited action
Rotowire
Porzingis finished with 23 points (7-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 7-7 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and four blocks in 28 minutes during Friday's 136-124 victory over the Spurs.
Despite no extensive garbage time and Porzingis committing zero fouls, the big man was still limited to 28 minutes. However, he came through with an excellent line. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on the Wizards and Porzingis down the stretch. They could easily fall out of the Play-In race entirely, and Porzingis got pulled early during Wednesday's loss to the Nuggets after a few quick fouls and saw just 22 minutes. Bradley Beal is dealing with a knee sprain and is day-to-day, so the team's fate is trending in the wrong direction. It's encouraging Porzingis has been so aggressive in limited minutes, though.
Porzingis logged 25 points (11-17 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists over 22 minutes during Wednesday's 118-104 loss to Denver.
Porzingis made his first six shots of the game, scoring 13 of the Wizards' first 16 points. He ran into foul trouble in the first half, however, limiting his minutes and taking a potential monster game off the table. The rest of the night ended up being disappointing for Porzingis, who saw his streak of five straight games of multiple blocked shots come to an end. He also posted his lowest rebound total since Dec. 12.

After sitting out Saturday's contest due to illness, Porzingis looked pretty healthy Tuesday as he led the Wizards in scoring. He also snapped out of a brief shooting funk that had seen him go just 1-for-14 from three-point range over his prior three games. Through 10 games in March, the 27-year-old big is averaging 23.7 points, 7.8 boards, 2.9 assists, 2.2 threes, 1.8 blocks and 1.1 steals while shooting 50.0 percent from the floor.

This was just another day in the office for Porzingis, but his strong play wasn't enough to prevent the Wizards from losing their fourth game out of their last five. Porzingis has been on fire for his fantasy managers at the ideal time, as he's been a top-15 player in nine-category leagues over his last nine games with 23.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.1 steals, 1.8 blocks and 2.1 three-pointers.

Porzingis struggled shooting the ball in Sunday's loss and had one of his worst statistical games of the entire season. The big man has failed to reach the double-digit scoring mark only twice on the year, with the other occasion coming all the way back on Dec. 23, when he scored a season-low seven points.
