Marvin Bagley Marvin Bagley III scores game-high 26 points
Fri, Mar 27, 2026, 6:58 PM
Marvin Bagley III amassed 26 points (11-of-14 FGs, 1-of-4 FTs), nine rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block and three three-pointers in Friday's win over the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: While Dwight Powell (four points, five rebounds, three assists and one steal in 21 minutes) served as the Mavericks' starting center on Friday, Bagley was on the court for longer. And he was excellent, scoring a season-high 26 points and finishing one rebound shy of a double-double. Bagley finished with a complete stat line, a reminder of what he's capable of despite coming off the bench on most nights. Dallas plays four games in Week 23, starting with a home-and-home against the Bucks on Monday and Tuesday. |

Naji Marshall Naji Marshall records 19/3/3/5 line vs. Portland
Fri, Mar 27, 2026, 6:57 PM
Naji Marshall accounted for 19 points (7-of-14 FGs, 5-of-7 FTs), three rebounds, three assists and five steals in Friday's win over the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Marshall has not provided much beyond points, rebounds and assists on most nights this season. That wasn't the case in Portland, as he recorded a career-high five steals, providing fantasy managers with an excellent bonus. While the Mavericks are done for Week 22, they'll play four games in Week 23, making Marshall a player worth rostering for championship week in Yahoo! default leagues. |

Caleb Martin (foot) is out for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Analysis: Friday's game will be the sixth that Martin has missed due to a strained plantar fascia in his right foot. As a result of his absence, players ahead of Martin in the rotation, including Naji Marshall and Cooper Flagg, have seen their playing time increase. |

P.J. Washington had 19 points (8-of-15 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 15 rebounds, one assist, one block and one three-pointer in Wednesday's loss to the Nuggets.
Analysis: Washington has now scored at least 18 points in five of his last six games. The 27-year-old power forward had a double-double with 15 rebounds. Washington has provided third-round per game value over the last two weeks. The Mavericks only have one more game this week, against the Trail Blazers on Friday. |

Dwight Powell DAL starts Marshall, Christie, Flagg, P.J., Powell
Wed, Mar 25, 2026, 3:44 PM
NBA Lineups
Naji Marshall, Max Christie, Cooper Flagg, P.J. Washington and Dwight Powell will start Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.
Analysis: The Mavericks will be without Daniel Gafford for Wednesday's game, as he has been ruled out with a shoulder injury. As a result, Powell starts, and he may be worth a look in deep leagues since Moussa Cissé (two-way contract) is inactive. |

Wed, Mar 25, 2026, 2:38 PM
NBA Injury Report
Brandon Williams (concussion) is available for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.
Analysis: Williams is available after missing the last three games with a concussion. His return may result in fewer minutes for Ryan Nembhard, but both should be part of the Mavericks' rotation. |

Wed, Mar 25, 2026, 2:33 PM
Daniel Gafford (shoulder) is out for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.
Analysis: Gafford left Monday's game against the Warriors with a right shoulder sprain and was subsequently ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets. Marvin Bagley III is a prime candidate for more minutes and usage in Gafford's absence Wednesday. |

Tue, Mar 24, 2026, 11:57 AM
NBA Injury Report
Brandon Williams (concussion) is questionable to play against the Nuggets on Wednesday.
Analysis: Williams has missed the last three games with a concussion, but he could return to take on Denver. Ryan Nembhard has taken on extra minutes with Williams unavailable, so he will lose out on minutes if Williams returns. |

Daniel Gafford Daniel Gafford (shoulder) questionable vs. Denver
Tue, Mar 24, 2026, 11:40 AM
NBA Injury Report
Daniel Gafford (shoulder) is questionable to play against the Nuggets on Wednesday.
Analysis: Gafford exited early on Monday with this right shoulder sprain that could force him to miss Wednesday's game against Denver. In that scenario, Marvin Bagley III would take on extra minutes at center, with Moussa Cisse and Dwight Powell filling out the other minutes down low. |

Tue, Mar 24, 2026, 11:25 AM
NBA Injury Report

Naji Marshall Naji Marshall logs 16 points, seven dimes vs. GSW
Mon, Mar 23, 2026, 7:10 PM
Naji Marshall finished Monday's loss to the Warriors with 16 points (7-of-15 FGs), six rebounds, seven assists, one steal and two three-pointers.
Analysis: The Mavericks went to overtime for a second straight game, and for the second time in a row, Marshall was one of Dallas' best scorers. Rebounding and playmaking for others were also key parts of his performance, but unfortunately, so were his season-high eight turnovers. Marshall has been, and will continue to be, one of the Mavericks' go-to offensive options down the stretch of the season. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect a drop in production. |

Daniel Gafford Daniel Gafford (shoulder) won't return vs. Warriors
Mon, Mar 23, 2026, 6:18 PM
Mike Curtis
Daniel Gafford (shoulder) won't finish Monday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: Gafford left the game late in the fourth quarter and was replaced by Klay Thompson. The veteran center was ultimately ruled out for the remainder of the way during the overtime period, ending the night with 20 points (8-of-8 FGs, 4-of-8 FTs), seven rebounds, five assists, one steal, and one block. If he's forced to miss any time, Marvin Bagley III could see an increase in minutes and production. |

Caleb Martin Caleb Martin (heel) downgraded to out vs. Warriors
Mon, Mar 23, 2026, 3:04 PM
NBA Injury Report
Caleb Martin (heel) is out for Monday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: Martin's absence has led to some of the Mavericks' other wings logging heavy minutes in recent games. Cooper Flagg, P.J. Washington and Naji Marshall all played at least 37 minutes in Saturday's overtime loss to the Clippers. They're likely to take on heavy workloads against the Warriors. |

Brandon Williams Brandon Williams (concussion) ruled out vs. GSW
Mon, Mar 23, 2026, 3:01 PM
NBA Injury Report
Brandon Williams (concussion) is out for Monday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: Williams was initially doubtful for Monday's game, making it unlikely he would be available. His continued absence likely means more minutes for rookie Ryan Nembhard, even if he comes off the bench. Nembhard played 31 minutes in Saturday's loss to the Clippers, which is enough to make him worth a look in deep leagues. |

Brandon Williams Brandon Williams (concussion) doubtful vs. GSW
Sun, Mar 22, 2026, 6:10 PM
NBA Injury Report
Brandon Williams (concussion) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: Williams has missed the last two games after entering the league's concussion protocol, and he's likely to miss a third on Monday. Ryan Nembhard did not start Saturday's overtime loss to the Clippers, but he did play 31 minutes. Look for his playing time to remain reasonably high for at least one more game. |

Caleb Martin Caleb Martin (heel) questionable vs. Golden State
Sun, Mar 22, 2026, 12:59 PM
NBA Injury Report
Caleb Martin (heel) is questionable for Monday's game against the Warriors.
Analysis: Martin has missed Dallas's last three games, which has factored into Ryan Nembhard playing more minutes off the bench. Nembhard logged 31 minutes in Saturday's overtime loss to the Clippers, finishing with 13 points and nine assists. |

P.J. Washington P.J. Washington hits three triples, scores 21
Sat, Mar 21, 2026, 5:45 PM
P.J. Washington recorded 21 points (7-of-14 FGs, 4-of-5 FTs), six rebounds, one steal and three three-pointers in Saturday's loss to the Clippers.
Analysis: Washington has scored at least 20 points in three of his last four appearances, and he put up solid percentages in Saturday's overtime defeat. However, like teammate Naji Marshall, his value in category leagues is somewhat limited due to the production outside of points and rebounds. Washington has provided seventh-round value over the past two weeks, which may be his ceiling as far as fantasy basketball is concerned. |

Naji Marshall Naji Marshall finishes OT defeat with 28 points
Sat, Mar 21, 2026, 5:44 PM
Naji Marshall amassed 28 points (11-of-23 FGs, 5-of-7 FTs), three rebounds, four assists, two steals and one three-pointer in Saturday's loss to the Clippers.
Analysis: Marshall has scored at least 25 points in three of his last four games, and he got up 23 shots on Saturday. That kind of volume can help compensate for the limited defensive production, as was the case against the Clippers. Even with the increased scoring, Marshall's category league value remains low. That said, managers in points leagues should be more willing to roll the dice on him, even with the Mavericks limited to three games in Week 22. |

Caleb Martin Caleb Martin (heel) downgraded to out vs. Clippers

Noah Weber
Caleb Martin (heel) is out for Saturday's game against the Clippers.
Analysis: Maartin will miss a third consecutive game as he continues to recover from a right heel contusion. His absence will not affect fantasy basketball, but it shrinks the Mavericks' wing rotation by one. |
