Klay Thompson
Klay Thompson records 11th 200-3PT season
Sun, Apr 12, 2026, 4:59 PM
Klay Thompson amassed 12 points (4-of-10 FGs), one assist, one steal and four three-pointers in Sunday's win over the Bulls.
Analysis: Thompson played just over 10 minutes in Sunday's season finale, and that was enough time for him to add another accomplishment to his career résumé. With his four three-pointers, the veteran sharpshooter finished with 202 on the season. Thompson has 11 seasons with at least 200 three-pointers; only Stephen Curry (13) has more. Klay is under contract for the 2026-27 season, but the days of him being a must-roster player in fantasy leagues are in the rear-view mirror.
Caleb Martin
Caleb Martin, Brandon Williams downgraded to out
Sun, Apr 12, 2026, 1:09 PM
Dallas Mavericks
Caleb Martin (foot) and Brandon Williams (illness) are out for Sunday's game against the Bulls.
Analysis: Martin and Williams will remain out for the Mavericks' final game of the season. Due to injuries and the inability to carve out a consistent role when healthy, neither player did enough to land on fantasy managers' radars for the 2026-27 season.
Daniel Gafford
Daniel Gafford, Marvin Bagley ruled out vs. Bulls

Mavs PR
Daniel Gafford (rest) and Marvin Bagley III (shoulder) have been ruled out against the Bulls on Sunday.
Analysis: Both bigs were initially doubtful for this game, and they have now officially been ruled out. Moussa Cissé and Dwight Powell should fill the minutes at center for the season finale. Gafford's fantasy value in 2026-27 probably depends a lot on how healthy Dereck Lively is, but he has a chance to produce if given a path to major playing time.
P.J. Washington
P.J. Washington (elbow) downgraded to out vs. CHI
Sun, Apr 12, 2026, 1:00 PM
Dallas Mavericks
P.J. Washington (elbow) is out for Sunday's game against the Bulls.
Analysis: Counting Sunday, Washington missed four straight and seven of the Mavericks' final eight games of the season. The veteran forward appeared in 56 games, averaging 14.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.0 steals, 1.1 blocks and 1.4 three-pointers. Washington has averaged at least one steal and one blocked shot in each of his two full seasons with the Mavericks. Somehow under contract through 2029-30, Washington will remain a key cog in Dallas' rotation but has essentially settled in as a fringe fantasy starter.
Naji Marshall
Naji Marshall (hip) downgraded to out vs. Chicago
Sun, Apr 12, 2026, 12:57 PM
Dallas Mavericks
Naji Marshall (hip) is out for Sunday's game against the Bulls.
Analysis: Marshall's 2025-26 season has come to a disappointing end, as he missed the Mavericks' final three games. The forward made 74 appearances this season, averaging 15.2 points, 4.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.1 steals per game, which were all career-highs. He's under contract for 2026-27 at $9.4 million and should remain a nice reserve for the Mavericks with occasional fantasy value when injuries hit.
P.J. Washington
P.J. Washington, Naji Marshall doubtful vs. CHI
Sat, Apr 11, 2026, 10:16 AM
NBA Injury Report
P.J. Washington (elbow) and Naji Marshall (hip) are questionable for Sunday's game against the Bulls.
Analysis: Washington and Marshall are poised to finish the 2025-26 season on the bench, as both players are doubtful for Sunday's finale. The former has missed the Mavericks' last three games, and the latter the last two. John Poulakidis and Tyler Smith have played rotation minutes in recent games, with the former logging 30 minutes in Friday's loss to the Spurs.
Caleb Martin
Caleb Martin, Brandon Williams doubtful vs. CHI
Sat, Apr 11, 2026, 10:10 AM
NBA Injury Report
Caleb Martin (foot) and Brandon Williams (illness) are doubtful for Sunday's game against the Bulls.
Analysis: Martin and Williams are on track to remain sidelined for the Mavericks' regular-season finale. While the latter has missed the last three games, the former has not played since March 15. Ryan Nembhard started and logged 31 minutes in Friday's loss to the Spurs, while AJ Johnson played 20 off the bench. Expect a similar approach on Sunday.
Daniel Gafford
Daniel Gafford, Marvin Bagley doubtful vs. Chicago
Sat, Apr 11, 2026, 10:06 AM
NBA Injury Report
Daniel Gafford (rest) and Marvin Bagley III (shoulder) are doubtful for Sunday's game against the Bulls.
Analysis: Sunday's game won't impact anything beyond draft lottery odds, so the Mavericks are likely to put out a rotation that lacks most of the team's proven players. With Gafford and Bagley considered doubtful for the regular season finale, Moussa Cissé should play plenty with veteran Dwight Powell also available to log rotation minutes at the five.
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.
Marvin Bagley
Marvin Bagley (shoulder) won't return Friday
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
Marvin Bagley (shoulder) questionable to return
Fri, Apr 10, 2026, 2:54 PM
Mavs PR
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).
Caleb Martin
Caleb Martin (foot) remains out vs. San Antonio
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.
Daniel Gafford
Daniel Gafford (rest) remains out vs. San Antonio
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.
Klay Thompson
Klay Thompson (illness) ruled out vs. San Antonio
Fri, Apr 10, 2026, 11:49 AM
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.
