Marvin Bagley III to Miss Second Straight Game

Dallas Mavericks forward Marvin Bagley III (shoulder) is ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Bagley will miss both legs of the back-to-back set due to a left shoulder injury. His next chance to play will come on Friday, so fantasy managers should check back ahead of that game. In the meantime, Dwight Powell figures to serve as the backup center to Daniel Gafford on Tuesday. Powell finished with nine points and eight rebounds across 24 minutes on Monday. Fantasy managers looking for a cheap DFS option might want to consider Powell, given he'll have an expanded role.

Klay Thompson is Resting on Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks guard Klay Thompson (rest) is heading to the bench ahead of Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. It's not shocking to see the Mavs resting the veteran Thompson during the second leg of this back-to-back set. He finished with five points, two assists, and two rebounds across 22 minutes of action on Monday. The Mavs are very thin on forward depth, so Khris Middleton will likely play a significant role. The veteran forward doesn't offer a ton of streaming appeal, but could be worth a look as a cheap DFS option.

Caleb Martin Remains Sidelined Monday

Dallas Mavericks forward Caleb Martin (heel) will remain sidelined for Monday's matchup against Minnesota, extending his recent stretch on the inactive list due to a right heel issue. The veteran wing last appeared March 15, finishing with five points, one rebound, and one three in eight minutes, and he has not held a meaningful fantasy role even when healthy. His continued absence mainly preserves rotation minutes for Khris Middleton and Klay Thompson, while Brandon Williams could also maintain deep-league streaming appeal. Martin can remain on waiver wires outside of very deep formats.

Marvin Bagley III Won't Play Vs. Minnesota

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Marvin Bagley III (shoulder) will not play Monday against Minnesota due to a left shoulder impingement after posting 26 points, nine rebounds, three assists, one steal, and one block in 27 minutes Friday. His absence should lock Daniel Gafford into heavy minutes and keep Dwight Powell in the rotation after Powell produced four points, five rebounds, and three assists in 21 minutes last game. Gafford, who has averaged 17.4 points and 10.4 rebounds over his last five, profiles as the safer fantasy play, while Powell is only a deep-league streamer for managers chasing rebounds.

Daniel Gafford Cleared to Play Monday

Dallas Mavericks center Daniel Gafford (shoulder) is available for Monday's game against Minnesota after missing two contests with a right shoulder sprain. He should immediately reclaim starting duties and push Dwight Powell back to a reserve role. Gafford has averaged 17.4 points, 10.4 rebounds, and 1.6 assists in 26.4 minutes over his last five games, giving him solid value in field goal percentage, rebounds, and blocks during the fantasy finals. His return gives Dallas a needed interior presence and makes Powell more of a fringe option only in very deep formats. Gafford should be rostered wherever available.

P.J. Washington, Naji Marshall Ruled Out Monday

Dallas Mavericks forwards P.J. Washington (illness) and Naji Marshall (illness) will not play Monday against Minnesota, leaving Dallas thin across the forward spots. Their absences should open short-term streaming appeal for Khris Middleton and Klay Thompson, who could see expanded minutes and usage. Middleton posted 11 points, one three-pointer, three rebounds, and five assists in 18 minutes in his last appearance, while Thompson logged seven points, two threes, two rebounds, three assists, and one block in 18 minutes last game. Brandon Williams and Ryan Nembhard could also see deeper-league value if Dallas leans smaller.

Khris Middleton Sits Out Friday's Game

Dallas Mavericks forward Khris Middleton (illness) won't suit up on Friday against the Portland Trail Blazers. He was a very late addition to the injury report due to illness. After a couple of big performances early in his Mavericks career, Middleton has posted fairly underwhelming averages of 11.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in 22.3 minutes with the team. Fellow veteran Klay Thompson may log more action on Friday due to his absence.

Daniel Gafford Unavailable for Friday

Dallas Mavericks center Daniel Gafford (shoulder) has been ruled out for Friday's matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers. The big man will miss his second straight game due to a shoulder injury he sustained during Monday's loss to Golden State. Marvin Bagley III and Dwight Powell will move up the depth chart, with one of them likely drawing the start in Gafford's place. Bagley is the better fantasy option, even if he comes off the bench.

Brandon Williams Available Wednesday Night

Dallas Mavericks guard Brandon Williams (concussion) will rejoin the lineup on Wednesday against the Denver Nuggets. He has missed three games due to a concussion. Williams has been an impactful bench piece for the Mavericks this season, averaging 12.8 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 3.8 assists in 22.0 minutes per game. Before being hurt on March 16 against New Orleans, Williams had scored 10-plus points in 14 consecutive outings.

Daniel Gafford Won't Play Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks center Daniel Gafford (shoulder) has been ruled out for Wednesday's clash against the Denver Nuggets. He was initially listed as questionable due to a right shoulder sprain. The big man suffered the injury in Monday's loss to Golden State. Marvin Bagley III and Dwight Powell will move up on the depth chart on Wednesday night, with one of them starting in Gafford's place. Bagley is the better fantasy option, even if he will be part of the second unit.

Daniel Gafford Iffy Against Denver

Dallas Mavericks center Daniel Gafford (shoulder) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Denver after leaving Monday's overtime loss with a right shoulder injury. His availability could affect Dallas' frontcourt rotation if he is unable to play. Marvin Bagley III could see increased minutes after finishing with nine points and three assists in 15 minutes off the bench Monday. Dwight Powell did not play in that contest but could re-enter the rotation if depth is needed. Bagley may be worth a look in deep leagues if Gafford misses time.

Caleb Martin, Brandon Williams Remain Out Monday

Dallas Mavericks forward Caleb Martin (heel) and guard Brandon Williams (concussion) won't play on Monday against the Golden State Warriors. Martin has been ruled out after being listed as questionable on the initial injury report, while the team has downgraded Williams from doubtful to out. Dallas will be without both players for the third consecutive game. Overall, Martin will miss his fourth straight contest. With the duo missing from the rotation, Ryan Nembhard, Klay Thompson, and Khris Middleton have an opportunity to play larger roles off the bench.

Brandon Williams Unavailable Against Hawks

Dallas Mavericks point guard Brandon Williams (concussion) won't play on Wednesday against the Atlanta Hawks, as the team has downgraded him from doubtful to out. Williams is in concussion protocol after being hurt during Monday's loss to New Orleans. The 26-year-old has been Dallas' most productive reserve this season, averaging 12.8 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 3.8 assists in 22.0 minutes per game. With Williams sidelined, Ryan Nembhard and AJ Johnson are in a position to get more work in the backcourt.

Caleb Martin Remains Out Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks forward Caleb Martin (foot) has been downgraded from questionable to out on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's meeting with the Atlanta Hawks. He will sit out a second straight game due to a sore right foot. Martin's absence will leave around 15 minutes to be filled in the rotation. Veterans Khris Middleton and Klay Thompson might be more involved in the action on Wednesday, but they haven't produced consistent fantasy value this season.

Daniel Gafford Available Wednesday Against Atlanta

Dallas Mavericks center Daniel Gafford (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against the Hawks after missing three games and should reclaim his usual role in the starting lineup. He posted 22 points, 14 rebounds, one assist, and one block in 27 minutes in his last appearance and provides efficient scoring and rebounding when active. His return likely cuts into Marvin Bagley III's minutes, pushing him back to deep-league status. Gafford shapes up as a strong fantasy option for managers needing rebounds and field-goal percentage, while P.J. Washington could see fewer small-ball center minutes.

Daniel Gafford Won't Play Against Pelicans

Dallas Mavericks center Daniel Gafford (illness) won't be in the lineup for Monday's tilt against the New Orleans Pelicans. He has been downgraded from doubtful to out due to illness, keeping Gafford sidelined for a second straight game. With Gafford out, P.J. Washington had a big game in the frontcourt against Cleveland on Sunday. Meanwhile, Marvin Bagley III has a clearer route to playing time, but he was only on the court for 16 minutes in Sunday's matchup. Gafford's next chance to return will be Wednesday against the Atlanta Hawks.

Klay Thompson Unvailable on Monday

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Klay Thompson (rest) will miss Monday's matchup with the New Orleans Pelicans. The 36-year-old veteran forward is out for tonight's contest for rest purposes. He was also out of action during Sunday's 130-120 win over the Cavs. His next chance to return to the floor is on Wednesday at home versus the Hawks. With Thompson sidelined, fantasy managers can look to 34-year-old sharpshooter Khris Middleton as a potential streaming option as he should continue to see extra minutes this evening.

Caleb Martin Good to Go Versus Cavaliers

Dallas Mavericks forward Caleb Martin (finger) is available for Friday's game against Cleveland and could see a slight uptick in minutes with P.J. Washington (ankle) sidelined, and Daniel Gafford also out for rest. Martin has held a limited role this season, averaging 3.9 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 1.4 assists, but deeper leagues may find short-term value if his workload pushes closer to the 20-minute range. He finished with two points, three rebounds, one assist, and one block in 15 minutes Thursday. Marvin Bagley III and Khris Middleton remain the preferred streaming targets, leaving Martin as a deeper league flier.

Naji Marshall • SF • Mavericks

Naji Marshall Cleared to Play Friday

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Naji Marshall (foot) will be available for Friday's game against Cleveland after playing through recent soreness. The 28-year-old has carved out a steady role this month, averaging 9.2 points, 3.2 assists, and 2.6 rebounds in 25.0 minutes across his last five appearances. With P.J. Washington (ankle) sidelined and Daniel Gafford resting, Marshall should see more frontcourt involvement and could take on a slightly larger offensive role alongside Khris Middleton, who should help shoulder more of the scoring. Marshall, Middleton, and Marvin Bagley III all profile as viable streaming options in deeper formats.

P.J. Washington Out Friday Against Cleveland

Dallas Mavericks forward/center P.J. Washington (ankle) will miss Friday's game against Cleveland after being listed as doubtful following Thursday's win over Memphis, where he finished with 12 points, 10 rebounds, one assist, and one block in 28 minutes. His absence should push Khris Middleton into a larger role after the veteran erupted for 35 points with eight three-pointers, two rebounds, one assist, and two steals in 25 minutes off the bench last game. Middleton profiles as a strong scoring and three-point streaming option, while Marvin Bagley III and Caleb Martin (finger) could also see modest workload bumps.
