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.

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.

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.

Daniel Gafford Resting Friday Against Cavaliers

Dallas Mavericks center Daniel Gafford (rest) will sit out Friday's matchup against Cleveland as part of a maintenance plan during a back-to-back. His absence should create a short-term streaming opportunity for Marvin Bagley III, who posted six points, nine rebounds, and two blocks in 19 minutes off the bench in his last outing and could see a larger role. Dwight Powell may also pick up situational minutes. With P.J. Washington (ankle) still sidelined, Bagley profiles as a viable deep-league rebounds-and-blocks streamer.

Daniel Gafford Ready to Rock Sunday

Dallas Mavericks center Daniel Gafford (ankle) has been removed from the injury report and will return to the lineup on Sunday against the Toronto Raptors. Gafford has been nursing a right ankle injury and didn't play on Friday against Boston as Dallas wrapped up a back-to-back set. With Gafford and Marvin Bagley (neck) out, Moussa Cisse entered the rotation on Friday, logging 26 minutes off the bench. He could be out of the lineup again on Sunday. Gafford produced a double-double in his last appearance and has averaged 9.9 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.1 blocks, and 1.0 steals since the All-Star break.

Daniel Gafford Won't Play on Friday

Dallas Mavericks center Daniel Gafford (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Boston Celtics. As expected, Gafford will head to the sideline after being listed as doubtful for this game due to an ankle injury. This is likely the Mavs being cautious with Gafford after he played 25 minutes during Thursday's contest. The expectation is that Gafford will be back for Sunday's game, but fantasy managers should check back for an update this weekend. The Mavs are thin at the center spot, which means Dwight Powell and Moussa Cisse could play heavy minutes. Powell could be worth a look as a deep league streaming option on Friday.

Daniel Gafford Ruled Out Thursday vs. Kings

Dallas Mavericks center Daniel Gafford (ankle) will sit out Thursday's game against Sacramento due to right ankle injury management. With P.J. Washington (ankle) also sidelined, Dallas is thin up front. Marvin Bagley III is the clear streaming target after posting 22 points, five rebounds, and one assist in 20 minutes off the bench in the last win. He should approach 24 to 28 minutes if inserted into the starting group. Naji Marshall and Khris Middleton could see added frontcourt usage, while Bagley profiles as a short-term points and rebounds boost.

Daniel Gafford Doubtful Versus Kings

Dallas Mavericks center Daniel Gafford (ankle) is doubtful for Thursday's matchup against Sacramento as he manages a right ankle injury. With Dallas on a back-to-back, the expectation is that Gafford could return Friday against Memphis, but he is unlikely to suit up in this opener. Marvin Bagley III is positioned to start after producing 22 points and five rebounds in 20 minutes last game. Bagley becomes a short-term streaming option, while Naji Marshall and Max Christie could absorb added rebounding chances if Gafford sits.
