Houston Rockets forward Marquese Chriss (knee) is not expected to be ready to participate once training camp opens. The 25-year-old is still working his way back from knee surgery, which could sideline him heading into the regular season. He was traded to Houston earlier in the offseason, but isn't a great fit for this team. The Rockets have a logjam at forward, which is bad news for Chriss. It's possible he doesn't even have a role in the rotation once he's healthy. Chriss didn't bring much to the table last season, so he can be ignored heading into draft day.
The Mavericks have traded forward Marquese Chriss to Houston in exchange for Christian Wood. The Rockets are also receiving Trey Burke, Sterling Brown, Boban Marjanovic, and the No. 26 overall selection in the NBA Draft. Chriss hasn't lived up to expectations since entering the league back in 2016 and finished last season by averaging only 4.5 points and 3.0 rebounds. It's unlikely the 24-year-old will receive much work during his second stint in Houston, so unless he gets more playing time, he won't have much value for managers in any fantasy format.
Dallas Mavericks forward Marquese Chriss (knee) won't suit up against the Kings on Saturday. This is hardly a surprise, primarily since the 24-year-old has been out since mid-February because of right knee soreness. However, the Mavs will also be without Maxi Kleber (foot), who will miss his second consecutive game, so the team will unquestionably look to Dwight Powell and Davis Bertans to fill the void. Powell has a higher ceiling. Yet, Bertans can surprise managers if he can get minutes versus Sacramento, which is possible if Luka Doncic (toe), Trey Burke (shoulder), and Sterling Brown (illness) don't play.
Dallas Mavericks forward Marquese Chriss (knee) won't be in the lineup on Saturday for the rematch with the Clippers. The 24-year-old is dealing with right knee soreness, an injury that forced him to leave Thursday's game early. Chriss has averaged five points and nearly four boards per outing since joining the team, and while he doesn't play a ton, his absence should open up more minutes for Maxi Kleber and Dwight Powell, making them both a bit more relevant from a fantasy standpoint.
Dallas Mavericks forward Marquese Chriss (knee) was forced to exit early during Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He finished with two rebounds and only lasted five minutes before exiting due to right knee soreness. The Mavericks have a rematch against the Clippers on Saturday. Fantasy managers should consider Chriss questionable for that game. Maxi Kleber and Dwight Powell would see increased roles if Chriss is forced to sit out. Kleber has slightly more fantasy value, but fantasy managers will have to wait and see what happens with Chriss after the game.
Forward/center Marquese Chriss signed a two-year deal with the Dallas Mavericks. The veteran has appeared in 13 games for the team already this season, averaging 6.5 points and 3.7 rebounds throughout 11.3 minutes of work. However, unless Kristaps Porzingis or Maxi Kleber were to succumb to an injury at some point, Chriss doesn't possess much fantasy value. To make room, the Mavs waived center Willie Cauley-Stein, who had been out since late November because of personal issues.
Golden State Warriors center Marquese Chriss has suffered a broken right leg and will miss the rest of the 2020-21 season. Chriss was an interesting sleeper coming into the season after averaging 9.3 points and 6.2 rebounds per game last season. With Chriss done, expect the Warriors to rely even more on rookie center James Wiseman, who has averaged 24.5 minutes per game so far, with averages of 18.5 points, 7.0 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks per contest.
Warriors See Marquese Chriss As Building Block For Future
Golden State Warriors center Marquese Chriss had a surprising breakout campaign for the organization during the 2019-2020 season. The team reportedly sees Chriss as a building block for the future of their organization. There have been rumors that the Warriors were interested in Memphis center James Wiseman with a top five pick. However, it appears that the organization trusts that Chriss can continue to produce for them. He averaged 13.4 points, 7.8 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.4 blocks over the last 20 games before the NBA went on hiatus. Chriss could have reliable fantasy value next season, assuming he does start at center for the Warriors in 2020-2021.
Golden State Warriors power forward/center Marquese Chriss continued his excellent play on Sunday when he tallied his second double-double in four games in the loss to the Wizards. Chriss scored 12 points on 6-for-8 shooting from the floor and added 13 rebounds with two blocks and two assists, but he did commit five turnovers in the process. Chriss has been excellent as of late with averages of 13.8 points and 8.0 rebounds over the month of February and make sure he is not available in your league.
Marquese Chriss Leads Warriors In Scoring Tuesday Night
Golden State Warriors forward/center Marquese Chriss shook off a questionable tag on Tuesday and scored a team-high 21 points in a 112-94 loss to Sacramento. He also registered a double-double with 10 rebounds, adding three assists and shooting 8-for-10 from the floor in 25 minutes of action. Chriss has suddenly looked like an NBA player this month, shooting over 61 percent from the field and nearly averaging a double-double with 15.4 points and eight rebounds. His success includes a big 26-point performance against the Lakers, against whom the Warriors will play again on Thursday.
