P.J. Washington Fantasy Stats

Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (ankle) isn't ready to return to the lineup on Friday when the team visits the Oklahoma City Thunder. This will be the fourth straight game that Washington has sat out. Veteran forward Naji Marshall has started in Washington's place over the last three contests, averaging 15 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 4.3 assists. Washington's next chance to play will be Saturday night when the Mavericks host the Houston Rockets.

Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (ankle) will miss Wednesday's game against Miami after being ruled out despite taking part in the shootaround. Washington's absence leaves a clear lane for Naji Marshall, who logged nine points, seven rebounds, and six assists across 33 minutes in Monday's win over Denver. Marshall profiles as a short-term streamer for rebounds, defensive stats, and low-end scoring while Washington remains sidelined, especially with Dallas thin at the forward spots. His next chance to return comes Friday against Oklahoma City, the front end of a back-to-back set.

Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup with Miami, putting him at risk of a third consecutive absence. Naji Marshall has absorbed most of the power forward minutes, producing 12.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 3.0 assists across his last five games and playing 33 minutes Monday. His balanced stat profile and stable role keep him firmly in the short-term streaming mix. Managers should continue to hold Washington, with Marshall gaining the biggest boost if his ankle keeps him out.

Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game in Denver after missing Saturday's win over the Clippers. If he sits again, Naji Marshall is positioned to draw another start. Marshall has averaged 12.6 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 2.8 assists over his last five games while shooting 48.7 percent from the field, and he logged 18 points, eight rebounds, and three steals in 37 minutes on Saturday. He profiles as a low-end streamer, with Caleb Martin offering deeper-league appeal.

Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (ankle) won't play in Saturday's game against the Clippers. The 27-year-old was in line to suit up. However, he injured his ankle during pre-game warmups and was ruled out after the contest started. The Mavericks were already down Anthony Davis (calf), Dereck Lively II (foot), and Daniel Gafford (foot), meaning Dallas was without another big. Washington has played well this season, averaging a career-high 16.0 points with 7.8 boards, 2.3 assists, and 1.2 blocks. If he isn't available for Monday's game in Denver, Naji Marshall, who got the start on Saturday night, could continue to see more minutes.

Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (shoulder) will play on Sunday against Portland. He left Wednesday's loss to the Phoenix Suns because of a shoulder issue and didn't suit up on Friday for the NBA Cup meeting with the Clippers. However, now that Washington is back in the lineup, Naji Marshall will presumably head back to the bench, although he should remain involved, considering Anthony Davis (calf) will miss another game.

Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (shoulder) is probable for Sunday's matchup against the Portland Trail Blazers after exiting early against Phoenix and missing time. Over his last five games, he has averaged 13.0 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.0 steal, and 1.4 blocks in about 26 minutes. He is shooting 42.3 percent from the field and 25.0 percent from three during that stretch. When healthy, he typically plays in the low to mid 30s. With Anthony Davis (calf) doubtful, Washington should slide back into a primary frontcourt role, stabilizing Dallas' rebounding and secondary scoring. His return slightly caps the recent usage spikes for Naji Marshall and Daniel Gafford, but all three remain viable in standard leagues while the Mavericks stay shorthanded.

Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (shoulder) won't suit up for Friday's game versus the Los Angeles Clippers. The 27-year-old has averaged 14.7 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 1.3 blocks this season. He also appeared in all 12 of the Mavericks' contests throughout the 2025 campaign. Unfortunately, a shoulder injury suffered in Wednesday's loss to the Phoenix Suns will keep him out of the lineup. Fantasy managers will need to wait and see if he will return on Sunday against Portland. For now, Naji Marshall and Max Christie are the favorites to benefit on the offensive end.

Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Friday's NBA Cup game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Washington left Wednesday night's game against the Phoenix Suns after just five minutes of action due to a left shoulder strain. Dallas listing him as questionable could further harm a roster already hurt by injuries. Fellow frontcourt members Anthony Davis (calf) and Dereck Lively II (knee) are also questionable, potentially opening even more minutes. Forward Naji Marshall will see the strongest value increase if the 27-year-old is unable to suit up Friday, as he's been called upon to step up with so many frontcourt injuries. Washington is having a good season as the team's third-leading scorer, averaging 14.7 points and 7.6 rebounds per game, but missing time could harm his momentum.

Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington signed a four-year, $90 million contract extension on Thursday. The veteran had one year remaining on his former contract. However, the extension will keep him in Dallas for the entire 2025 campaign, at the very least. Washington finished last season by averaging 14.7 points, adding 7.8 rebounds, 1.1 steals, and 1.1 blocks. The Mavs have one of the deepest rosters in the National Basketball Association, which was bolstered even more after the team selected Cooper Flagg in the 2025 Draft. As a result, Washington will likely have his off nights, although he's worth adding to any fantasy roster, especially if there are injuries in Dallas throughout the year.
