Wizards' John Wall: Scores 21 in Saturday's loss

Wall scored 21 points (8-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 5-7 FT) while adding five assists, three rebounds and one steal in 37 minutes during Saturday's 112-100 loss to the Spurs.

Analysis:

Despite indications from coach Scott Brooks that the Wizards would relax Wall's workload during their Friday/Saturday back-to-back set, the point guard ended up logging 37 and 39 minutes, respectively, in those contests. Fantasy owners certainly won't complain about Brooks neglecting to limit Wall's workload, as the 26-year-old has looked fabulous over his last six games, averaging 24.8 points, 9.2 assists, 3.8 boards, 1.8 three-pointers and 1.7 steals. The Wizards are just 3-3 over that stretch, but Wall is used to getting less-than-ideal support from his teammates at this point.
