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. |

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. |

Kyrie Irving Kyrie Irving (knee) doubtful Monday vs. SAC
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. |
|
Santi Aldama Santi Aldama (knee) doubtful Monday vs. SAC
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. |
Naji Marshall Naji Marshall will play Friday against Rockets
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 12:13 PM
Mavs PR
Naji Marshall (illness) will play Friday against the Houston Rockets.
Analysis: Naji missed the past couple games with an illness, but he should step right back into the role he had. Look for Zaccharie Risacher and Caleb Martin to take a reduction in their minutes. |

Naji Marshall Naji Marshall (illness) upgraded to probable Fri.
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 10:23 AM
NBA Injury Report
Naji Marshall (illness) is now probable for Friday's game against the Rockets.
Analysis: Initially questionable for Friday's game, Marshall is on track to return after a two-game absence. Marcus Sasser (22 minutes), Walter Clayton Jr. (15 minutes), and Caleb Martin (14 minutes) all played rotation minutes in Wednesday's win over the Thunder. Their playing time may decrease if Marshall is cleared to play. |

Xavier Cooks Sergio de Larrea (knee) out again vs. Houston
Thu, Oct 29, 2026, 12:16 PM
NBA Injury Report
Sergio de Larrea (knee) has been ruled out against the Rockets on Friday.
Analysis: This will be a second straight absence for de Larrea, who exited early from Monday's win over Miami. Walter Clayton Jr. and Marcus Sasser should continue to be the guard options off the bench behind Kyrie Irving. |
|

Thu, Oct 29, 2026, 12:13 PM
NBA Injury Report
Santi Aldama (knee) is doubtful to play against the Rockets on Wednesday.
Analysis: Aldama is getting closer to making his season debut, but it isn't expected to be against Houston. Assuming nothing unexpected happens, his next chance to play will be on Monday against the Kings. |
|
Naji Marshall Naji Marshall (illness) questionable vs. Houston
Thu, Oct 29, 2026, 12:09 PM
NBA Injury Report
Naji Marshall (illness) is questionable to play against the Rockets on Friday.
Analysis: Marshall has missed the Mavs' last two games with an illness and is in danger of missing a third. In that scenario, Marcus Sasser, Walter Clayton Jr. and Caleb Martin would all continue to take on a few extra minutes off the bench. |
P.J. Washington P.J. Washington has 18 points, nine boards in win
Wed, Oct 28, 2026, 6:43 PM
P.J. Washington had 18 points (7-of-16 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), nine rebounds, one block and two three-pointers against the Thunder on Wednesday.
Analysis: Washington has now had at least 18 points, at least nine rebounds, at least two three-pointers and at least one block in three of his last four games. He'll easily pay off his draft cost if he keeps up this level of production. |

Naji Marshall Naji Marshall (illness) downgraded to out Weds.
Wed, Oct 28, 2026, 1:45 PM
Dallas Mavericks
Naji Marshall (illness) is out for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.
Analysis: Marshall is officially out after the Mavericks downgraded him to doubtful on Wednesday afternoon. This will be the second straight game he's missed, and players like Walter Clayton Jr. and Caleb Martin could absorb the available minutes. |
|
Kyrie Irving Kyrie Irving (knee) available Wednesday vs. OKC
Wed, Oct 28, 2026, 1:43 PM
Kyrie Irving (knee) is available for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.
Analysis: Irving was initially listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Thunder, but has since been cleared to play. After playing 33 minutes in Monday's win over the Heat and having the day off Tuesday, Irving should be ready to go against one of the top defenses in the league. |
