Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (ankle) has been cleared to play and is not on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's play-in game against the Sacramento Kings. The 26-year-old has faced health issues throughout the second half of the season and sat out Sunday's matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies to manage an ankle sprain. Washington went off for 28 points in his lone regular-season appearance against the Kings and enters the Play-In Tournament in fine form. He is shooting 42.9 percent from deep this month, averaging 12.3 points and 7.0 rebounds.
Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against Chicago after missing the last two games. Dallas is fighting to at least make the Play-In, so having Washington back in the lineup is excellent news. Anthony Davis (adductor) is also good to go. But with Daniel Gafford (knee), Kyrie Irving (knee), and Dereck Lively II (ankle) ruled out, the former Hornet should continue to get all the minutes he can handle while seeing a few extra looks at the basket.
Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (ankle) will not play on Thursday against the Orlando Magic. He has been ruled out for a second consecutive game due to a left ankle sprain. Naji Marshall figures to take on a larger role again with Washington unavailable. He had a career night with 38 points in Tuesday's matchup against the New York Knicks. The 27-year-old has been an efficient scorer throughout the month, notching 22.2 points on 53.7 percent shooting with 7.5 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 1.5 steals.
Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (ankle) is unavailable for Tuesday's matchup with the New York Knicks. Washington has been dealing with a sprained left ankle that will keep him out of the lineup. With the 26-year-old sidelined, players like Naji Marshall, Max Christie, Kessler Edwards and Klay Thompson will likely be relied upon to take extra minutes during Tuesday's contest. Fantasy managers may want to look at Marshall as an option this evening. He exploded for 22 points, four rebounds and two assists across 27 minutes coming off the bench on Monday against the Nets.
Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (ankle) will play on Sunday versus Philadelphia. The Mavs have struggled keeping players on the floor this season. Fortunately, the team will get Washington back from a seven-game absence caused by a sprained right ankle. The 26-year-old is having one of the best seasons of his career, averaging 14.0 points, 1.2 steals, and a career-high 8.1 rebounds. Kyrie Irving (knee) is done for the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign and Anthony Davis (adductor) remains out. As such, Washington has an excellent chance to lead the team in scoring on most nights for the foreseeable future. With his return, Kessler Edwards will presumably head back to the bench after averaging 8.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 44.8% shooting from deep in 15 starts this season.

He has been ruled out for a seventh consecutive game as Washington continues to nurse an ankle sprain. His next chance to return will come on Sunday in a matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers. Due to Washington's absence on Friday, Kessler Edwards and Dwight Powell will likely continue to receive additional playing time. Edwards has been a good streaming option for fantasy managers lately, averaging 15.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.0 steals over the past four games.
Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Friday's game against the Houston Rockets. Washington has missed the last six games and is in danger of missing another contest due to an ankle injury. His absence has resulted in Naji Marshall and Kessler Edwards seeing more playing time in the rotation. Marshall has been on a hot streak recently and is worth rostering in most 12-team formats right now. Edwards is worth a look as well, but is more of a low-end streaming choice. Both players would likely lose value if Washington is upgraded to available for this contest.
P.J. Washington Sits Out Another Contest Wednesday
Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks. He will sit out a second consecutive game after aggravating a right ankle sprain against the Bucks on Saturday.

Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Washington will take a seat after exiting early during Saturday's game due to a sprained right ankle. The absence of Washington should mean that Naji Marshall moves into the starting five. He figures to play at least 30 minutes which should result in decent streaming appeal until Washington is able to return to the court.
Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (ankle) won't play on Thursday versus Charlotte. The Mavs will now be down another big, with Washington joining Anthony Davis (adductor), Daniel Gafford (knee), and Dereck Lively II (ankle) on the shelf. It's also a huge blow for Dallas on the scoring end, considering the 26-year-old has averaged 14.2 points this season. Fortunately, Dwight Powell (hip) is available. However, he won't see more than 12 minutes of work. As a result, fantasy managers should expect more minutes for Kessler Edwards, Naji Marshall, and Olivier-Maxence Prosper. Still, Kyrie Irving remains the only trustworthy fantasy option on the roster at the moment.
