P.J. Washington Fantasy Stats

Dallas Mavericks forward/center P.J. Washington (head) exited Saturday's loss to Houston after sustaining a head contusion and did not return. He logged 25 minutes before leaving, finishing with nine points, four rebounds, one assist, and one steal, leaving his status uncertain for Tuesday's matchup against Boston. If Washington misses time, Dallas would lean more heavily on Naji Marshall and Daniel Gafford in the frontcourt. Marshall has averaged 19.2 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 3.6 assists over his last five starts, while Gafford offers steady rebounding and efficient scoring. Caleb Martin could see more minutes, though his fantasy value remains volatile.

Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (personal) will be held under 30 minutes during Thursday's game against the Golden State Warriors, according to Noah Weber. Washington is making his return on Thursday after missing each of the last three games due to personal reasons. The Mavs are going to take the cautious approach and limit Washington during his first game back in the rotation. They want to give him a game or two to build up his conditioning again. That could mean a few extra minutes for Caleb Martin or Dwight Powell during Thursday's game. Fantasy managers should still be safe to plug Washington into their lineups ahead of Thursday's tip-off.

Dallas Mavericks forward/center P.J. Washington (personal) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against New York and will miss a second straight game while addressing a personal matter, with Thursday against Golden State next on the schedule. His continued absence leaves Naji Marshall with increased playing time, and the versatile wing logged 16 points, five rebounds, and six assists in 29 minutes Saturday. Marshall's consistent minutes and multi-category contributions give him short-term fantasy relevance while Washington remains sidelined.

Dallas Mavericks forward/center P.J. Washington (personal) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Utah after being downgraded from probable while attending to a personal matter, with Monday against New York up next. His absence leaves Dallas short-handed and opens additional minutes across the forward spots. Naji Marshall has taken on a larger role and produced 22 points, six rebounds, and four assists in 23 minutes in the last game, keeping him firmly in the streaming mix. Caleb Martin added 14 points and six assists in 28 minutes, while Klay Thompson went for 26 points with six three-pointers in 23 minutes, emphasizing his scoring-first fantasy appeal.

Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's home game against Utah, as the team tries to manage his return from an ankle injury. Washington missed four games due to an ankle sprain but played 31 minutes in his return on Wednesday in the team's loss to the Bulls. His shot looked a little rusty, but if he plays on Thursday, he could be set up for a huge workload since Anthony Davis (finger) remains out, Cooper Flagg (ankle) and Max Christie (illness) are doubtful, and Daniel Gafford (ankle) is questionable. Washington will be an important update to watch for, since if he's out as well, there will be even more work for the value options in Dallas. Naji Marshall, Brandon Williams, Ryan Nembhard, and Jaden Hardy will all have to carry more of the scoring load if Washington joins the other Mavs' starters on the bench. On the other hand, if he plays, he'll get as much work as he can handle in a favorable matchup against the Jazz's banged-up frontcourt.

Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (ankle) has been upgraded to available for Wednesday's contest against the Denver Nuggets. The 27-year-old is ready to rejoin the action after missing four games with an ankle sprain. Washington will presumably head straight back to the first unit, and as a result, Naji Marshall may land on the bench. Still, Marshall has played a significant role all season, and Dallas will count on him to fill some of Max Christie's (illness) minutes.

Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (ankle) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Denver Nuggets. Although Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd announced Monday that Washington would be out for a week, his questionable designation hints he could be ready to play even sooner. If Washington misses a fifth consecutive game on Wednesday, Naji Marshall will continue to have additional fantasy value. He has been a starter in each of the last four games, averaging 17.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists, and 2.0 steals.

Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (ankle) is expected to return in a week, Noah Weber of The Smoking Cuban reports. Washington will miss a fourth consecutive game on Monday night against the Brooklyn Nets. Monday's update suggests that he will sit out at least three more games. Naji Marshall, Klay Thompson, and Caleb Martin will keep logging extra minutes while Washington remains sidelined. Of the trio, Marshall has delivered the steadiest fantasy production.

Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (ankle) will be absent for a third consecutive game on Saturday against the Chicago Bulls. He has landed on the shelf with a right ankle sprain and will get his next opportunity to return on Monday night in a meeting with the Brooklyn Nets. Naji Marshall is likely to keep his starting spot on Saturday and deserves fantasy attention. He is averaging 16.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.1 steals in a starting role this campaign.

Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (ankle) has been downgraded to out ahead of Thursday's game against the Utah Jazz. Washington will miss his second game in a row after spraining his ankle during Saturday's contest. The Mavs will likely use a committee approach with Klay Thompson, Naji Marshall, and Caleb Martin to fill the void on Thursday. Marshall posted 15 points, seven rebounds, and two steals in 32 minutes of action on Tuesday. He's looking like a viable streaming option while Washington is on the bench. Thompson could also be worth a look, but he's more of a low-end option at the moment.
