P.J. Washington Won't Suit Up Versus OKC

Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (illness) won't play on Tuesday versus Oklahoma City. The former Hornet isn't feeling well, so he'll get a night off. Fortunately for Dallas, Naji Marshall (illness) is back from a four-game absence, which will help lessen the blow. Marshall will likely start in Washington's place, with the 26-year-old averaging 13.1 […]

Naji Marshall Returning On Tuesday Night

Dallas Mavericks forward Naji Marshall (illness) will play in Tuesday's game against OKC. He was under the weather, keeping him off the floor for the Mavs' previous four contests. But Marshall's return comes at the perfect time, with P.J. Washington (illness) and Maxi Kleber (illness) sidelined for Tuesday's meeting with the Thunder. The 26-year-old has […]

Jaden Hardy Misses Second Straight Game

Dallas Mavericks guard Jaden Hardy (ankle) will be out of the lineup for a second straight game on Tuesday versus Oklahoma City. The 22-year-old is nursing a right ankle sprain. Hardy hasn't played a consistent role in the Mavericks rotation, and his absence will not have a big impact on Tuesday. Spencer Dinwiddie and Quentin […]

Naji Marshall Considered Questionable For Tuesday's Cup Action

Dallas Mavericks forward Naji Marshall (illness) is considered questionable for Tuesday's NBA Cup quarterfinal against Oklahoma City. He's already missed four games because of an illness. There appears to be an illness bug going around in the Mavericks locker room. P.J. Washington (illness) is also considered questionable for Tuesday's game with an illness, and Maxi […]

DraftKings NBA DFS Picks for Today (Tuesday, 12/10/24): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Welcome back, Rotoballers! Tonight we have only two games on the slate. These articles focus on the best plays, typically more suited for cash games. However, some exceptions may apply, depending on the size of the slate. The key to succeeding in NBA DFS is making adjustments during the day as injury information becomes available. […]

Maxi Kleber Won't Play On Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks forward Maxi Kleber (illness) has been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Kleber will miss his second game in a row due to an illness. He remains day-to-day, but his absence won't have a huge impact on the rotation. Kleber has only been playing 17 minutes per game, […]

P.J. Washington Could Miss Tuesday's Game

Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (illness) is currently listed as questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Washington appears to have picked up a minor illness, so fantasy managers will likely have to wait to see how he feels closer to tip-off. The Mavs could be shorthanded for this game with Maxi […]

Jaden Hardy Ruled Out For Saturday

Dallas Mavericks guard Jaden Hardy (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Raptors. His next opportunity to return will be Tuesday against the Thunder. Hardy's playing time often fluctuates based on the health of the Mavericks' roster, but he's shown the ability to score in bursts, as evidenced by his 13 points […]

Maxi Kleber Sitting Out On Saturday

Dallas Mavericks forward Maxi Kleber (illness) will not suit up for Saturday's matchup against the Toronto Raptors. Kleber has been unproductive lately, failing to score in three of his past four games, so his absence shouldn't disrupt the Mavericks' rotation too much. In his stead, P.J. Washington and Quentin Grimes are expected to pick up […]

Jaden Hardy Unlikely To Play On Saturday

Dallas Mavericks guard Jaden Hardy (ankle) has been listed as doubtful on the injury report ahead of Saturday's encounter with Toronto. Hardy is battling a right ankle sprain and has logged only 10 total minutes across the previous two games. His role has been minuscule lately, so the Mavericks' rotation won't change much without Hardy […]

Naji Marshall To Remain Out On Saturday

Dallas Mavericks forward Naji Marshall (illness) will not be ready to return to the lineup on Saturday against Toronto. An illness will keep him out of action for a fourth straight game. Quentin Grimes and Spencer Dinwiddie have larger roles in the rotation with Marshall out. Both players have enjoyed strong stretches lately. Grimes has […]

Naji Marshall Out Again Thursday Versus Washington

Dallas Mavericks forward Naji Marshall (illness) will miss his third consecutive game due to an illness on Thursdays versus the Washington Wizards. Before being sidelined, Marshall had made the most of his opportunity as a starter while Klay Thompson was on the shelf, averaging 13.1 points and 4.0 rebounds. Once he's able to get back on the […]

Naji Marshall Still Under The Weather

Dallas Mavericks forward Naji Marshall (illness) will miss Tuesday's matchup versus the Trail Blazers, marking his second-straight absence. The former Pelican had been starting, mostly while Klay Thompson (foot) sat on the shelf. He has played well in such opportunities, averaging 13.1 points and 4.0 rebounds. But with Thompson returning for this one, Marshall's ceiling […]

Dereck Lively II Cleared To Meet The Grizzlies

Dallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively II (knee) will play on Tuesday night versus the Memphis Grizzlies. The 20-year-old has averaged 8.8 points, 7.1 assists, and 1.6 blocks during the 2024-25 campaign, so he hasn't been the most consistent source of production for fantasy managers. But his presence should lower the fantasy potential of Daniel Gafford, […]

Klay Thompson Back On Tuesday Night

Dallas Mavericks forward Klay Thompson (foot) will play on Tuesday night versus Memphis after missing the last four games because of plantar fasciitis in his left foot. The former Golden State Warrior has struggled to find his footing in his first season with the Mavs, averaging 13.2 points, the second-lowest of his career. He'll likely […]

FanDuel NBA DFS Picks for Today (Tuesday 12/03/24): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Group Play in the NBA Emirates Cup wraps up on Tuesday with a massive 11-game slate for DFS fantasy basketball on FanDuel. Some of these games won't have any impact on who advances to the Knockout Stage, but they do carry a little extra meaning since they are in-conference matchups and all 22 teams are […]

Dereck Lively II Uncertain For Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively II (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The big man has a chance to return after missing Sunday's game due to a right knee injury. Another absence would result in Daniel Gafford to continue seeing increased playing time. This season, Gafford is averaging […]

Kyrie Irving Set To Return On Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (shoulder) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Tuesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. Irving is set to return after missing Sunday's game due to right shoulder soreness. Fantasy managers should expect Irving to have his full workload on Tuesday. Jalen Hardy figures to have a reduced role […]

Klay Thompson Listed As Questionable For Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks guard Klay Thompson (foot) is listed as questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The veteran guard has missed the last four games due to plantar fasciitis in his left foot. Quentin Grimes has been starting in his place and has been taking advantage of the extra playing time. In fact, […]

Klay Thompson Out For Fourth Straight Game

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Klay Thompson (foot) will continue to sit against Portland on Sunday, missing a fourth straight game. The former All-Star is struggling to shake off a left foot injury.
