Caleb Martin to Miss Ninth Straight Game

Dallas Mavericks forward Caleb Martin (foot) will not play in Friday's game against the Orlando Magic due to a right plantar fascia strain, extending his absence to nine games. His continued absence should allow Max Christie, Khris Middleton, and Klay Thompson to absorb extra wing minutes. Middleton remains the most interesting fantasy option after finishing with eight points, five rebounds, and two assists in 22 minutes last game. Christie posted three points and three rebounds in 26 minutes, limiting his appeal. Middleton looks like the safest deep-league streamer, while Thompson remains a situational three-point option.

Marvin Bagley III to Miss Third Straight Game

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Marvin Bagley III (shoulder) will not play in Friday's game against the Orlando Magic, marking his third straight absence. Dwight Powell should continue to handle backup center minutes behind Daniel Gafford, though his fantasy appeal remains limited after posting three points, three rebounds, and one steal in 15 minutes last game. Gafford is the clearer beneficiary for managers needing efficient big-man production. Powell is only a desperation option in very deep leagues.

P.J. Washington to Miss Third Straight Game

Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Orlando Magic. This marks the third game in a row that Washington will sit out due to a lingering illness. His next chance to play will come on Sunday versus the Los Angeles Lakers. The absence of Washington should mean increased playing time for Klay Thompson and Khris Middleton. Neither player offers great streaming value, but Thompson is the better choice between the two due to his ability to shoot from beyond the arc.

Daniel Gafford Ready to Face Magic

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.

Marvin Bagley III Unlikely to Play Friday

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Marvin Bagley III (shoulder) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Magic and could miss a third straight contest. His likely absence should keep Daniel Gafford locked into steady frontcourt minutes, while Dwight Powell may continue to serve as the primary backup after posting three points, three rebounds, and one steal in 15 minutes last game. Bagley posted 26 points, nine rebounds, three assists, one steal, and one block in his last game, but the injury makes him tough to rely on. Gafford remains the safer fantasy option for rebounds and blocks.

P.J. Washington May Miss Third Straight Game

Dallas Mavericks forward/center P.J. Washington (illness) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Magic and appears on track to miss a third straight contest. His expected absence should keep Khris Middleton in a steady role after he logged eight points, one three-pointer, five rebounds, and two assists in 22 minutes as a fill-in starter last game. Naji Marshall, recently cleared from the injury report, could also see expanded opportunities after posting 19 points, three rebounds, three assists, and five steals in his last appearance. Marshall could be worth streaming, while Middleton offers deeper-league value.

Marvin Bagley III to Miss Second Straight Game

Dallas Mavericks forward Marvin Bagley III (shoulder) is ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. Bagley will miss both legs of the back-to-back set due to a left shoulder injury. His next chance to play will come on Friday, so fantasy managers should check back ahead of that game. In the meantime, Dwight Powell figures to serve as the backup center to Daniel Gafford on Tuesday. Powell finished with nine points and eight rebounds across 24 minutes on Monday. Fantasy managers looking for a cheap DFS option might want to consider Powell, given he'll have an expanded role.

Klay Thompson is Resting on Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks guard Klay Thompson (rest) is heading to the bench ahead of Tuesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks. It's not shocking to see the Mavs resting the veteran Thompson during the second leg of this back-to-back set. He finished with five points, two assists, and two rebounds across 22 minutes of action on Monday. The Mavs are very thin on forward depth, so Khris Middleton will likely play a significant role. The veteran forward doesn't offer a ton of streaming appeal, but could be worth a look as a cheap DFS option.

Caleb Martin Remains Sidelined Monday

Dallas Mavericks forward Caleb Martin (heel) will remain sidelined for Monday's matchup against Minnesota, extending his recent stretch on the inactive list due to a right heel issue. The veteran wing last appeared March 15, finishing with five points, one rebound, and one three in eight minutes, and he has not held a meaningful fantasy role even when healthy. His continued absence mainly preserves rotation minutes for Khris Middleton and Klay Thompson, while Brandon Williams could also maintain deep-league streaming appeal. Martin can remain on waiver wires outside of very deep formats.

Marvin Bagley III Won't Play Vs. Minnesota

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Marvin Bagley III (shoulder) will not play Monday against Minnesota due to a left shoulder impingement after posting 26 points, nine rebounds, three assists, one steal, and one block in 27 minutes Friday. His absence should lock Daniel Gafford into heavy minutes and keep Dwight Powell in the rotation after Powell produced four points, five rebounds, and three assists in 21 minutes last game. Gafford, who has averaged 17.4 points and 10.4 rebounds over his last five, profiles as the safer fantasy play, while Powell is only a deep-league streamer for managers chasing rebounds.

Daniel Gafford Cleared to Play Monday

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.

P.J. Washington, Naji Marshall Ruled Out Monday

Dallas Mavericks forwards P.J. Washington (illness) and Naji Marshall (illness) will not play Monday against Minnesota, leaving Dallas thin across the forward spots. Their absences should open short-term streaming appeal for Khris Middleton and Klay Thompson, who could see expanded minutes and usage. Middleton posted 11 points, one three-pointer, three rebounds, and five assists in 18 minutes in his last appearance, while Thompson logged seven points, two threes, two rebounds, three assists, and one block in 18 minutes last game. Brandon Williams and Ryan Nembhard could also see deeper-league value if Dallas leans smaller.

Khris Middleton Sits Out Friday's Game

Dallas Mavericks forward Khris Middleton (illness) won't suit up on Friday against the Portland Trail Blazers. He was a very late addition to the injury report due to illness. After a couple of big performances early in his Mavericks career, Middleton has posted fairly underwhelming averages of 11.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in 22.3 minutes with the team. Fellow veteran Klay Thompson may log more action on Friday due to his absence.

Daniel Gafford Unavailable for Friday

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.

Brandon Williams Available Wednesday Night

Dallas Mavericks guard Brandon Williams (concussion) will rejoin the lineup on Wednesday against the Denver Nuggets. He has missed three games due to a concussion. Williams has been an impactful bench piece for the Mavericks this season, averaging 12.8 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 3.8 assists in 22.0 minutes per game. Before being hurt on March 16 against New Orleans, Williams had scored 10-plus points in 14 consecutive outings.

Daniel Gafford Won't Play Wednesday

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.

Daniel Gafford Iffy Against Denver

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.

Caleb Martin, Brandon Williams Remain Out Monday

Dallas Mavericks forward Caleb Martin (heel) and guard Brandon Williams (concussion) won't play on Monday against the Golden State Warriors. Martin has been ruled out after being listed as questionable on the initial injury report, while the team has downgraded Williams from doubtful to out. Dallas will be without both players for the third consecutive game. Overall, Martin will miss his fourth straight contest. With the duo missing from the rotation, Ryan Nembhard, Klay Thompson, and Khris Middleton have an opportunity to play larger roles off the bench.

Brandon Williams Unavailable Against Hawks

Dallas Mavericks point guard Brandon Williams (concussion) won't play on Wednesday against the Atlanta Hawks, as the team has downgraded him from doubtful to out. Williams is in concussion protocol after being hurt during Monday's loss to New Orleans. The 26-year-old has been Dallas' most productive reserve this season, averaging 12.8 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 3.8 assists in 22.0 minutes per game. With Williams sidelined, Ryan Nembhard and AJ Johnson are in a position to get more work in the backcourt.

Caleb Martin Remains Out Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks forward Caleb Martin (foot) has been downgraded from questionable to out on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's meeting with the Atlanta Hawks. He will sit out a second straight game due to a sore right foot. Martin's absence will leave around 15 minutes to be filled in the rotation. Veterans Khris Middleton and Klay Thompson might be more involved in the action on Wednesday, but they haven't produced consistent fantasy value this season.
