Daniel Gafford Fantasy Stats

Dallas Mavericks center Daniel Gafford (shoulder) is not on the injury report for Friday's matchup with the Orlando Magic. Gafford hurt his right shoulder in Tuesday's loss to Milwaukee, but he has quickly shaken off the injury. The 27-year-old big man can be infuriatingly inconsistent with his performances, but his average numbers were strong in March. Over 11 appearances, he posted 15.1 points and 9.2 rebounds in 23.5 minutes per game. From a fantasy perspective, Orlando tends to be stingy to centers, so Gafford will have a challenging matchup on Friday night.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
