Naji Marshall Naji Marshall contributes 22 points vs. Spurs
Wed, Nov 4, 2026, 7:10 PM
Naji Marshall produced 22 points (9-of-12 FGs, 1-of-1 FTs), five rebounds, three assists, one block and three three-pointers in Wednesday's loss to the Spurs.
Analysis: The Mavericks had no answer for Victor Wembanyama and looked set to get blown out. However, Marshall got going in the second half, shooting 7-of-9 from the field and scoring 17 points. Marshall remains a player who can be rostered in deep leagues, even though he'll come off the bench on most nights. |
Kyrie Irving Kyrie Irving hits five triples, scores 29 points
Wed, Nov 4, 2026, 7:04 PM
Kyrie Irving amassed 29 points (9-of-27 FGs, 6-of-8 FTs), seven rebounds, five assists, one steal and five three-pointers in Wednesday's loss to the Spurs.
Analysis: Active after sitting out Monday's loss to the Kings, Irving played 36 minutes in the 112-111 thriller. He had a chance to put the Mavericks ahead in the final seconds of regulation, but the shot missed. Irving has provided excellent fantasy value so far, but availability remains a concern. |
P.J. Washington PJ Washington drops 21 points, double-double
Wed, Nov 4, 2026, 6:51 PM
PJ Washington accounted for 21 points (7-of-18 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), 10 rebounds, three assists, one block and three three-pointers in Wednesday's loss to the Spurs.
Analysis: Washington recorded his second double-double of the season, with his stat line including a season-high 21 points. The Mavericks forward has struggled with his shooting so far, making 39.8 percent of his field-goal attempts. Those struggles and inconsistent defensive production explain why Washington's current fantasy value doesn't align with his ADP. |

Grant Afseth
Santi Aldama (knee) is out for Wednesday's game against the Spurs.
Analysis: Initially listed as questionable for Wednesday's game, Aldama was downgraded to doubtful early Wednesday afternoon. He's now out, so the Mavericks will have to wait at least one more game for the 7-footer to make his debut for the team. |

Brad Townsend
Santi Aldama (knee) is now doubtful to play against the Spurs on Wednesday.
Analysis: Aldama was initially listed as questionable, giving him a chance to make his debut for the Mavericks. However, it looks like he'll be waiting at least one more game before that happens. Their next game is against the Jazz on Friday. |

Kyrie Irving Kyrie Irving (knee) removed from injury report
Tue, Nov 3, 2026, 12:14 PM
NBA Injury Report
Kyrie Irving (knee) is off the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Spurs.
Analysis: Irving did not play in Monday's loss to the Kings, with Caleb Martin replacing him in the starting lineup. With Max Christie (hip) out, Martin could stay in the starting five even after Irving's return. |
Max Christie Max Christie (hip) ruled out Wednesday vs. SAS
Tue, Nov 3, 2026, 12:12 PM
NBA Injury Report
Max Christie (hip) is out for Wednesday's game against the Spurs.
Analysis: Christie exited Monday's loss to the Kings during the first quarter and did not return. While Walter Clayton Jr.'s playing time increased, the Mavericks were also without Kyrie Irving (knee). With Kyrie off the injury report, Clayton's minutes will likely decrease. |

Santi Aldama Santi Aldama (knee) questionable Wednesday
Tue, Nov 3, 2026, 12:01 PM
NBA Injury Report
Santi Aldama (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Spurs.
Analysis: Aldama is still waiting to make his Mavericks debut, and that could happen on Wednesday. His role in the team's frontcourt rotation is still unclear, so fantasy managers don't need to rely on Aldama yet. |
Daniel Gafford Daniel Gafford scores 15 first-half points vs. SAC
Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 4:47 PM
Daniel Gafford accumulated 20 points (9-of-10 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), seven rebounds, one steal and one block in Monday's loss to the Kings.
Analysis: The Kings struggled to find an answer for Gafford in the second quarter, when he tied his career-high for points in a quarter with 11. He didn't produce much in the second half, but many fantasy managers will take that final stat line from DG. With Dereck Lively II and Santi Aldama still sidelined, Gafford has played nearly 24 minutes per game. And so far, his production has exceeded his preseason ADP by a safe distance. |

Max Christie Max Christie (hip) will not return Monday vs. SAC
Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 3:32 PM
Grant Afseth
Max Christie (hip) will not return to Monday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: Christie played eight minutes before leaving Monday's game with a right hip injury. Walter Clayton Jr. replaced him to start the third quarter, and Christie's absence may also free up minutes for Marcus Sasser. |
Caleb Martin DAL starts Flagg, Christie, Martin, PJ, Gafford
Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 1:39 PM
NBA Lineups
Cooper Flagg, Max Christie, Caleb Martin, PJ Washington and Daniel Gafford will start Monday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: The Mavericks won't have Kyrie Irving for Monday's game, which opens a spot in the starting lineup. Martin will fill the void, which raises his fantasy ceiling. However, that isn't enough to make him a worthwhile streamer in most leagues, since there are 15 games on Monday's schedule. |

Kyrie Irving Kyrie Irving (knee) downgraded to out vs. SAC
Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 12:14 PM
Mavs PR
Kyrie Irving (knee) has been ruled out against the Kings on Monday.
Analysis: Irving was downgraded to doubtful earlier in the day and has now officially been ruled out. He has been fantastic this season, and a rest night in this one will help him stay fresh, even if this isn't part of a back-to-back. Naji Marshall is a candidate to replace Irving in the starting lineup. |

Santi Aldama Santi Aldama (knee) downgraded to out Monday
Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 12:11 PM
Dallas Mavericks
Santi Aldama (knee) is out for Monday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: While Aldama is nearing a return to the court, he isn't ready yet. His continued absence won't affect fantasy basketball, since his role in the Mavericks' frontcourt rotation remains unclear. |

Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 9:28 AM
NBA Injury Report
Kyrie Irving (knee) is doubtful for Monday's matchup with the Kings.
Analysis: Irving isn't expected to play, which means Naji Marshall could replace him in the starting lineup. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Irving's status moving forward, as it's unclear if this absence is serious or a maintenance day. |

Kyrie Irving Kyrie Irving (knee) questionable Monday vs. SAC
Sun, Nov 1, 2026, 11:55 AM
NBA Injury Report
Kyrie Irving (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: Irving has missed one game this season, the Mavericks' October 24 loss to the Spurs. That game was part of a back-to-back, so it's somewhat surprising to see Irving on the report for injury-management reasons. If he can't play, Naji Marshall could replace him in the starting lineup. |

Sun, Nov 1, 2026, 11:51 AM
NBA Injury Report
Santi Aldama (knee) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Kings.
Analysis: Aldama, once again listed as doubtful on an initial injury report, has not played a game this season. Mavericks head coach Dusty May said Friday that the forward/center is âvery closeâ to making his season debut, but that may not happen on Monday based on his status. |

Kyrie Irving Kyrie with 35 and 9 assists over the Rockets
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 5:02 PM
Kyrie Irving puts up 35 points (12-of-19 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), four rebounds, nine assists, and five 3-pointers in 116-111 win over the Rockets.
Analysis: kyrie is showing that he still has it despite missing the entire season last year. He likely won't be as efficient or score that many points every game, but he's been one of the most efficient scoring guards in NBA history. As long as the Mavericks keep winning, his place on this team becomes more and more secure. |

Daniel Gafford Daniel Gafford with 18/7 in 26 minutes in win
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 4:54 PM
Daniel Gafford scored 18 points (6-of-7 FGs, 6-of-9 FTs), seven rebounds, two assists, and two blocks on Friday.
Analysis: It was a very good performance from Gafford in this one despite being dunked on by Kevin Durant. It is notable that in the final couple minutes, he did roll his right ankle, was limping and was helped to the locker room. He did come back a minute later but it is something to monitor if he pops up on the injury report at some point. |
Xavier Cooks Sergio De Larrea will be reevaluated in a week
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 12:36 PM
Noah Weber
Dusty May: Sergio De Larrea (knee) will be re-evaluated in one week.
Analysis: Sergio had one good game against the Spurs where he got 21 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists before going down in the next game with a knee sprain. He wasn't in the rotation before Cooper Flagg got hurt, so it will be something to monitor when De Larrea gets back. |

Santi Aldama Santi Aldama (knee) downgraded to out Friday
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 12:16 PM
Grant Afseth
Santi Aldama (knee) is out for Friday's game against the Rockets.
Analysis: Unfortunately, Aldama's Mavericks debut will have to wait for at least one more game. His continued absence won't significantly affect Dallas' rotation, since it's unclear where he'll fit. During his pregame availability, Mavericks head coach Dusty May said that Aldama is âvery closeâ to making his debut after getting in a few practices with the Mavericks' G League affiliate. |
