Kyshawn George scores 22 points with 4 blocks in Wizards win

Fantasy basketball: George's 36-minute outing against Chicago was his best game of the season and well above his usual output, making him a streaming target.

By Fantasy Roundup Staff · October 25, 2026

Kyshawn George posted 22 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 blocks on 8-for-17 shooting and 6-for-8 from the line in 36 minutes as a starter in Washington's 124-120 win over Chicago on Saturday, October 24.

The performance produced 49.3 fantasy points against 30.7 a game over last season (48 games), driven by six more minutes and nine more field goal attempts than his usual workload. George is averaging 17.0 points, 5.7 rebounds and 3.7 assists through three games this season while shooting 54.7% true shooting on 29.3% usage, and the combination of volume and defensive production makes him a strong streaming option in both nine-category and points formats.

Kyshawn George

George's 22 points were seven higher than his 14.8-point average last season, when he also managed 5.1 boards, 4.5 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.9 blocks in 29.0 minutes a game as a full-time starter. The 36 minutes represented his highest total of the young season and came with a significant uptick in shot attempts, while the four blocks equalled his previous single-game high and brought his season average to 1.7 a game.

Washington has one game left this week, on Saturday on the second night of a back-to-back, where George's expanded role should keep him in the streaming conversation. The second-year forward offers value in rebounds and defensive stats alongside improving scoring efficiency, though his lack of threes (0.7 a game this season) limits his ceiling in some builds. Add him where streaming spots are available and start him through the weekend.

What to do

• Stream Kyshawn George in both nine-category and points leagues for his Saturday back-to-back appearance.
