Blair returned from suspension against the Magic on Thursday, but didn't get into the game for the Wizards.

Analysis:

Nene, who was also suspended for the first game of the season, started at power forward and Drew Gooden picked up most of the minutes at the position off the bench. Nene played 34 minutes in his debut, which likely won't be a consistent mark for him given his injury history. Still, owners will want to continue to monitor the minutes distribution at power forward for the Wizards.
