Dwight Powell Dwight Powell posts 4/11/5/2/1 line off bench
Fri, Apr 10, 2026, 5:28 PM
Dwight Powell provided a boost off the bench with four points (2-of-4 FGs), 11 rebounds, five assists, two steals and one block against the Spurs.
Analysis: With Daniel Gafford (rest) out and Marvin Bagley (shoulder) exiting early, Powell ended up playing 24 minutes off the bench and contributing a well-rounded stat line. Moussa Cisse ended up playing 19 minutes and contributed seven points, eight rebounds, two steals and three blocks. The pair were able to provide strong minutes down low, and if Gafford and Bagley remain out for the season finale on Sunday, Powell and Cisse should fill the center minutes once again. |

Fri, Apr 10, 2026, 3:02 PM
Marvin Bagley III (shoulder) won't return to Friday's game against the Spurs.
Analysis: Bagley was dealing with a shoulder injury coming into the game and seemed to re-aggravate it in the first half of Friday's game against the Spurs. He was quickly ruled out. Dwight Powell and Moussa Cisse should handle the center minutes for the rest of the game. |

Marvin Bagley III (shoulder) is questionable to return to Friday's game against the Spurs.
Analysis: Bagley has been managing a shoulder injury recently, but he tried to play through it for this game. However, there is a chance his night is over after just eight minutes. If that's the case, Dwight Powell and Moussa Cisse will fill the center minutes for the rest of this game. |

Dwight Powell Dwight Powell (hip) upgraded to available
Fri, Apr 10, 2026, 1:20 PM
NBA Injury Report
Dwight Powell (hip) is available for Friday's game against the Spurs.
Analysis: Powell is good to go after initially being questionable for Friday's game. He should slot in as the backup center, with Marvin Bagley III once again starting for Daniel Gafford (rest). |

Fri, Apr 10, 2026, 1:18 PM
NBA Injury Report
Caleb Martin (foot) is out for Friday's game against the Spurs.
Analysis: Martin last appeared in a game on March 15. His absence has recently freed up rotation minutes for Tyler Smith, who has not been productive enough to impact active fantasy leagues. |

Brandon Williams Brandon Williams (illness) remains out vs. Spurs
Fri, Apr 10, 2026, 1:15 PM
NBA Injury Report
Brandon Williams (illness) is out for Friday's game against the Spurs.
Analysis: Williams remains out for another game, which may result in AJ Johnson playing rotation minutes off the bench. Johnson logged 17 minutes in Wednesday's loss to the Suns, shooting 1-of-11 from the field. He is not worth the risk in active leagues. |

Marvin Bagley Marvin Bagley III (shoulder) upgraded to available
Fri, Apr 10, 2026, 1:07 PM
NBA Injury Report
Marvin Bagley III (shoulder) is available for Friday's game against the Spurs.
Analysis: Bagley is in line to make another start, as Daniel Gafford (rest) has been ruled out. For managers in active fantasy leagues, Bagley is definitely a player to roster as the Mavericks play out their remaining games. |

Fri, Apr 10, 2026, 1:07 PM
NBA Injury Report
Daniel Gafford (rest) has been ruled out against the Spurs on Friday.
Analysis: Gafford will miss a third straight game, though this time, it's due to rest. Marvin Bagley III should be in line for another start. He enters this game having scored at least 20 points in back-to-back games. |

Naji Marshall Naji Marshall (hip) downgraded to out vs. Spurs
Fri, Apr 10, 2026, 1:05 PM
NBA Injury Report
Naji Marshall (hip) is out for Friday's game against the Spurs.
Analysis: Marshall will miss a second consecutive game with a hip contusion. Ryan Nembhard started Wednesday's loss to the Suns, but it was John Poulakidis who offered the most value, as he scored a career-high 23 points off the bench. Both rookies should play plenty in Friday's game. |

P.J. Washington P.J. Washington (elbow) remains out vs. Spurs
Fri, Apr 10, 2026, 1:05 PM
NBA Injury Report
P.J. Washington (elbow) has been ruled out against the Spurs on Friday.
Analysis: Washington will remain out for a third straight game with this elbow injury. Khris Middleton should get another start in his place, though he only played 18 minutes in Wednesday's loss. John Poulakidas ended up playing 29 minutes off the bench. |

NBA Injury Report
Klay Thompson (illness) has been ruled out against the Spurs on Friday.
Analysis: Thompson wasn't initially on the injury report, but he will now be unavailable off the bench for a second straight game. AJ Johnson took on extra minutes off the bench on Wednesday and should again in this one, though he didn't provide much value in a larger role. |

Marvin Bagley Marvin Bagley III, Dwight Powell questionable
Fri, Apr 10, 2026, 7:09 AM
NBA Injury Report
Marvin Bagley III (shoulder) and Dwight Powell (hip) are questionable for Friday's matchup with the Spurs.
Analysis: Daniel Gafford and P.J. Washington are both doubtful, so if Bagley III and Powell end up sitting, Moussa Cisse could be in line for a big role in Dallas' shorthanded frontcourt. |

Thu, Apr 9, 2026, 12:41 PM
NBA Injury Report
Klay Thompson (rest) is not on the injury report for Friday's game against the Spurs.
Analysis: Thompson will return to action on Friday after sitting out Wednesday's loss to the Suns. His return may result in fewer minutes for AJ Johnson, who played 17 minutes on Wednesday but struggled. |
|
Brandon Williams Brandon Williams (illness) doubtful vs. Spurs
Thu, Apr 9, 2026, 12:30 PM
NBA Injury Report
Brandon Williams (illness) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Spurs.
Analysis: Williams missed both games of Dallas' back-to-back, most recently sitting out Wednesday's loss to the Suns. AJ Johnson played 17 minutes off the bench in Phoenix but shot 1-of-11 from the field. There isn't much to gain from streaming him in active fantasy leagues. |
|
P.J. Washington P.J. Washington (elbow) doubtful vs. San Antonio
Thu, Apr 9, 2026, 12:28 PM
NBA Injury Report
P.J. Washington (elbow) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Spurs.
Analysis: Washington has missed the Mavericks' last two games, and he's on track to miss a third on Friday. While Khris Middleton started Wednesday's loss to the Suns, he only played 18 minutes. Don't expect much production from the veteran forward on Friday. |
|
Caleb Martin Caleb Martin (foot) doubtful vs. San Antonio
Thu, Apr 9, 2026, 12:21 PM
NBA Injury Report
Caleb Martin (foot) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Spurs.
Analysis: Martin has not appeared in a game since March 15, and that's unlikely to change on Friday. Tyler Smith has played rotation minutes recently, but he has not been productive enough to merit rostering in any active fantasy leagues. |
|
Naji Marshall Naji Marshall (hip) doubtful vs. San Antonio
Thu, Apr 9, 2026, 12:18 PM
NBA Injury Report
Naji Marshall (hip) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Spurs.
Analysis: Marshall is on track to miss a second consecutive game as he deals with a hip contusion. While Ryan Nembhard moved into the starting lineup, John Poulakidis scored a career-high 23 points off the bench. For managers in active fantasy leagues needing scoring, Poulakidis will be worth a look. |
|
Daniel Gafford Daniel Gafford (rest) doubtful vs. San Antonio
Thu, Apr 9, 2026, 12:14 PM
NBA Injury Report
Daniel Gafford (rest) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Spurs.
Analysis: Gafford has missed the Mavericks' last two games, and he's likely to miss a third on Friday. The good news is that the reason is rest, not the right shoulder injury he suffered during Sunday's win over the Lakers. Marvin Bagley III should remain in the starting lineup, making him an appealing option for those in active fantasy leagues. |

Marvin Bagley Marvin Bagley III starts, drops 20 points on PHX
Wed, Apr 8, 2026, 6:54 PM
Marvin Bagley III totaled 20 points (8-of-11 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), eight rebounds, two assists, one block and three three-pointers in the loss to the Suns on Wednesday.
Analysis: Bagley made the start on Wednesday, replacing veteran center Dwight Powell in the opening unit. As a result, Bagley was one of the only two Mavericks players to score 20 or more points, doing so on very efficient shooting and a few three-pointers. The former second-overall pick has played well this season for the Mavericks and has now tallied 20 or more points in three of the last four games. He's found a nice rhythm to end the season. |

Caleb Martin Caleb Martin (foot) downgraded to out vs. Phoenix
Wed, Apr 8, 2026, 2:49 PM
Dallas Mavericks
Caleb Martin (foot) is out for Wednesday's game against the Suns.
Analysis: Martin remains out for another game, which frees up minutes for players like Tyler Smith. Smith is unlikely to do enough to provide reliable value in active fantasy leagues. |
