Naji Marshall Naji Marshall dishes out six assists vs. NOR
Mon, Dec 22, 2025, 4:41 PM
Naji Marshall produced 15 points (7-of-10 FGs), five rebounds, six assists and one three-pointer in Monday's loss to the Pelicans.
Analysis: As long as Marshall is in the starting lineup, he's worth rostering in 14-team leagues and some 12-team leagues as well. He didn't record any defensive stats in Monday's defeat, but the Mavericks wing has been a top-100 player over the last two weeks. Marshall will look to build on that production when Dallas hosts Denver on Tuesday. |

Klay Thompson Klay Thompson his five triples, scores 20 points
Mon, Dec 22, 2025, 4:40 PM
Klay Thompson finished Monday's loss to the Pelicans with 20 points (7-of-17 FGs, 1-of-3 FTs), five rebounds, one assist, one steal and five three-pointers.
Analysis: Thompson came out hot on Monday, making some wonder if a âturn back the clockâ performance was in store. Unfortunately, after shooting 7-of-12 from the field in the first half, the veteran wing missed all five of his attempts in the second half. Thompson's final stat line was good, but Monday served as a reminder both of what he's capable of and how much more difficult it is for him to sustain that production over the course of a game. |

Anthony Davis Anthony Davis posts 35/17/2/1/1 line vs. Pelicans
Mon, Dec 22, 2025, 4:40 PM
Anthony Davis accumulated 35 points (16-of-28 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), 17 rebounds, two assists, one steal, one block and one three-pointer in Monday's loss to the Pelicans.
Analysis: After scoring two points in a December 5 loss to the Thunder, Davis has tallied at least 24 in four of his last five appearances. Monday's performance was the best of the bunch, with the Mavericks forward/center recording a season-high point total and extending his double-double streak to four games. With Daniel Gafford (three points, five rebounds and two steals in 14 minutes) still limited, all of Davis' minutes were played at the five on Monday. That's been the norm recently, and the center position may be where AD is most valuable to fantasy managers, even if he prefers to play the four. |

Max Christie Max Christie (illness) out Monday vs. Pelicans
Mon, Dec 22, 2025, 12:41 PM
Max Christie (illness) is out for Monday's game against the Pelicans.
Analysis: Christie was initially listed as questionable with an illness, but will miss the game against the Pelicans Monday. The 22-year-old guard has played less than 20 minutes in each of his last two game. Christie's absence won't significantly impact fantasy basketball. |

Klay Thompson Klay Thompson (knee) available Monday vs. NOR

Jim Eichenhofer
Klay Thompson (knee) is available for Monday's game against the Pelicans.
Analysis: Thompson was initially questionable for Monday's game, but he'll be available. The veteran wing has been better since moving to the bench, but he still offers limited fantasy value. There's no need to roster Thompson in 12-team leagues. |

Klay Thompson Klay Thompson (knee) questionable Monday vs. NOR
Sun, Dec 21, 2025, 10:23 AM
NBA Injury Report
Klay Thompson (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Pelicans.
Analysis: A sore left knee also landed Thompson on the injury report ahead of Saturday's loss to the 76ers, a game in which he played 18 minutes. He'll likely take on a similar workload if he's able to play against the Pelicans. If not, Jaden Hardy could enter the rotation, but he is not worth the streaming risk. |

NBA Injury Report
Max Christie (illness) is questionable for Monday's game against the Pelicans.
Analysis: Christie most recently played 14 minutes in Saturday's loss to the 76ers. He'll likely take on a similar workload on Monday if he's available, and that doesn't move the needle in fantasy basketball. |

Anthony Davis Anthony Davis has 24 points in loss to 76ers
Sat, Dec 20, 2025, 4:13 PM
Anthony Davis had 24 points (11-of-20 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 15 rebounds, two assists and one block against the 76ers on Saturday.
Analysis: Davis played 37 minutes in the overtime win over the Pistons on Thursday, but only had 15 points on 18 attempts. The 32-year-old power forward bounced back with a better offensive effort Saturday. Davis had 24 points on 11-of-20 from the field. The Mavericks have four games in Week 10, starting with a matchup with the Pelicans on Monday. |

Klay Thompson Klay Thompson (knee) available Saturday vs. PHI

Ky Carlin
Klay Thompson (knee) is available for Saturday's game against the 76ers.
Analysis: Thompson is dealing with a sore left knee, but he's healthy enough to play. He's played between 19 and 21 minutes in his last three appearances; fantasy managers should expect the same on Saturday. The playing time has not been enough to make Thompson a player worth holding onto in standard redraft leagues. |

Ky Carlin
Anthony Davis (illness) is available for Saturday's game against the 76ers.
Analysis: Davis was initially probable for Saturday's game, so the status upgrade is unsurprising. He'll occupy his usual place in the starting lineup. Make sure he's in your active lineups before tipoff. |

Klay Thompson Klay Thompson (knee) questionable vs. Philly
Fri, Dec 19, 2025, 11:16 AM
NBA Injury Report
Klay Thompson (knee) is questionable to play against the 76ers on Saturday.
Analysis: Thompson has been off the injury report ahead of the Mavs' last few games, but there is a chance he is sidelined against Philadelphia. If that happens, Max Christie will see a nice bump in minutes off the bench. |
|
Anthony Davis Anthony Davis (illness) probable vs. Philadelphia
Fri, Dec 19, 2025, 11:11 AM
NBA Injury Report
Anthony Davis (illness) is probable to play against the 76ers on Saturday.
Analysis: AD is under the weather, but it isn't expected to keep him out of the lineup. Davis will look to extend his double-double streak to three games despite the illness. If something changes, Daniel Gafford will likely get the start in his stead. |

Anthony Davis Anthony Davis plays 37 minutes in overtime win
Thu, Dec 18, 2025, 5:58 PM
Anthony Davis had 15 points (7-of-18 FGs), 14 rebounds, two assists, three blocks and one three-pointer against the Pistons on Thursday.
Analysis: Davis was initially questionable with a calf injury after missing Monday's loss to the Jazz. The 32-year-old power forward ended up playing 37 minutes in the overtime win over the Pistons. Davis continues to be in and out of the lineup with injuries, but he was able to showcase his skills against one of the contending teams that might be interested in trading for him against the Pistons Thursday. Dallas will be back in action on Saturday against the 76ers. |

Brandon Williams Brandon Williams (Achilles) available Thursday
Thu, Dec 18, 2025, 12:57 PM
Brandon Williams (Achilles) is available for Thursday's game against the Pistons.
Analysis: Williams is back after missing Monday's game against Utah with a sore right Achilles tendon. With D'Angelo Russell (illness) also available, Williams should come off the bench as one of the reserve point guards. |
|
D'Angelo Russell D'Angelo Russell (illness) available Thursday
Thu, Dec 18, 2025, 12:55 PM
Christian Clark
D'Angelo Russell (illness) is available for Thursday's game against the Pistons.
Analysis: Russell is available after a two-game absence and should be in the rotation. However, with Brandon Marshall also available and Ryan Nembhard being the starting point guard, D'Lo is unlikely to get the opportunities needed to affect fantasy basketball. He should not be rostered in most leagues. |

Naji Marshall Marshall (illness) available Thursday vs. Pistons
Thu, Dec 18, 2025, 12:54 PM
Naji Marshall (illness) is available for Thursday's game against the Pistons.
Analysis: Marshall was added to the injury report as questionable with an illness Thursday afternoon, but is ultimately available for the matchup with the Pistons. The 27-year-old small forward should be in the starting lineup and play without limitations. |
|
Anthony Davis Anthony Davis (calf) available Thursday vs. DET
Thu, Dec 18, 2025, 12:52 PM
Noah Weber
Anthony Davis (calf) is available for Thursday's game against the Pistons.
Analysis: Davis was initially questionable for Thursday's game after sitting out Monday's overtime loss to the Jazz. His return likely means that Daniel Gafford will head to the bench, and he's unlikely to surpass 17 minutes due to a lingering ankle injury. |

Naji Marshall Naji Marshall (illness) questionable Thursday
Thu, Dec 18, 2025, 7:32 AM
NBA Injury Report
Naji Marshall (illness) is questionable for Thursday's matchup with the Pistons.
Analysis: Marshall's late addition to the injury report puts him in danger of sitting out Thursday against Detroit. If Marshall ends up sidelined, Max Christie could get a significant boost. Christie has been playing well as of late and has standalone value when Marshall is available, but he'll be even better if the latter is out. |

D'Angelo Russell D'Angelo Russell (illness) now questionable
Wed, Dec 17, 2025, 11:37 AM
NBA Injury Report
D'Angelo Russell (illness) has been downgraded to questionable for Thursday's game against the Pistons.
Analysis: Russell was initially considered probable for Thursday night after missing the last two games, but he's now questionable. Whether his availability affects fantasy basketball depends on Brandon Williams (Achilles), who's also questionable. If Williams can't play but Russell can, more rotation minutes would be available to the veteran point guard. |
|
D'Angelo Russell D'Angelo Russell (illness) probable vs. Detroit
Wed, Dec 17, 2025, 7:32 AM
Mike Curtis
D'Angelo Russell (illness) is probable to play against the Pistons on Thursday.
Analysis: Russell is expected to be back after a two-game absence and will likely return to playing his typical reserve role where he sees minutes in the teens. Brandon Williams (Achilles) is questionable, so if he doesn't play, Russell could see a bump in minutes, though it likely won't make him worth streaming. |
