Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd was ejected from Saturday’s game six minutes in, and it’s fair to wonder how this may have affected Flagg. The rookie had a rough night in Chicago, committing five turnovers in his 28 minutes on the floor. The good news for fantasy managers is that Flagg has had more good nights than bad, so he should not have much difficulty bouncing back. Especially with three of Dallas’ four Week 13 games coming against Brooklyn and Utah (they play the Jazz twice).

Marshall’s final stat line was solid, even if it didn’t keep the Mavericks from being on the wrong side of a blowout loss. Unfortunately, his fantasy prospects have taken a hit recently, due to a lack of defensive production and poor foul shooting. The Mavericks’ injuries open the door for Marshall to provide greater fantasy value, so he is worth the risk in deeper leagues.

Nembhard was back in the starting lineup on Saturday, as the Mavericks were without P.J. Washington and Anthony Davis due to injury. The rookie point guard was productive, with the six assists being the most in a game for him since December 29. Nembhard’s opportunities were also boosted due to Brandon Williams being out, so fantasy managers will want to keep Saturday’s production in perspective. The Mavericks play four games in Week 13, starting with the Nets on Monday.

Smith was back in the Bulls’ rotation after a two-game absence, and the playing time wasn’t too far removed from his season average (17.7 mpg). He didn’t shoot the ball well, but the rebounds and blocks will be helpful for deep-league managers who have Smith rostered. The Bulls begin a four-game Week 13 with a back-to-back on Tuesday and Wednesday, so there may be some questions regarding Smith’s availability.

Matching up with Cooper Flagg for the first time this season, Buzelis had a good night. However, it could have been much better for the second-year forward, who missed all five of his three-point attempts. As a result, Buzelis failed to record his third consecutive 20-point game. The most significant issue for Buzelis in fantasy basketball recently has been the foul line, where he has made 66.7 percent of his attempts over the past two weeks. He’s shooting 77.2 percent for the season, so there shouldn’t be too much concern about a player offering top-100 fantasy value.

For the first time this season, Vučević has recorded double-doubles in three consecutive games. The Bulls spread the wealth offensively on Saturday, with seven players scoring in double figures. Vooch supplemented his double-double with a few assists and three “stocks,” the most in a game for him since December 21. Shooting 55.4 percent from the field, Vučević has been close to a top-25 player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks.

For the first time this season, Dosunmu has scored at least 20 points in consecutive games. His overall stat line was excellent, with the Bulls’ guard having an efficient night at the office. Add in the assists and steals, and this was a good way for Dosunmu to end Week 12. The Bulls begin a four-game Week 13 with a back-to-back on Tuesday and Wednesday. How high Dosunmu’s fantasy ceiling is depends partly on the availability of Josh Giddey (hamstring), who should be re-evaluated soon, per the timeline provided at the time of his injury.

The Bulls ended their three-game losing streak on Saturday, with offensive balance being the reason. White led seven Bulls in double figures with 22 points, making his first start since December 29. When available, his fantasy value has not met the expectations of fantasy managers, with White ranked just inside the top-150 in eight-cat formats. The Bulls begin a four-game Week 13 in Houston on Tuesday, and that’s the first game of a back-to-back.

The Mavericks won’t have P.J. Washington or Anthony Davis for Saturday’s game, which will return Nembhard to the starting lineup. Since Brandon Williams is also out, these changes should raise Nembhard’s fantasy ceiling.

Collins has been out since late December with a sprained left big toe. Bulls head coach Billy Donovan said on Saturday that the 6-foot-11 forward/center suffered a “pretty significant sprain” and will remain in a walking boot for the foreseeable future. Surgery isn’t currently on the table, but the team has been seeking additional opinions on Collins’ injury. Chicago will continue to rely on Jalen Smith to absorb most of the backup center minutes.

Due to an illness, Williams had to leave Thursday’s loss to the Jazz after playing nine minutes. His absence on Saturday should mean more minutes for Ryan Nembhard, who played 22 minutes against Utah. The rookie still has not returned to the point where he should be streamed in fantasy leagues, but that may change later in the season.

Smith has missed Chicago’s last two games due to concussion protocols.

If Smith can play on Saturday, Olbrich will likely fall out of the rotation entirely.

Davis injured his left hand during the fourth quarter of Thursday’s loss to the Jazz. According to Charania, a second opinion on the injury’s severity will be sought. If surgery is required, Davis could miss “a number of months.” With the Mavericks’ forward/center being the subject of trade rumors, an extended absence would likely put those to rest. As for Dallas’ approach to the rest of the season, losing Davis could affect Kyrie Irving’s return from the ACL tear he suffered last March. Dallas’s first-round pick in June’s draft is the last one that they’ll have complete control over until 2031, so the front office could decide that punting on the rest of this season is in the franchise’s best interest.

Thompson needed just 13 shots to tie season-highs in points and three-pointers on Thursday. His production didn’t come in bunches; it was spread throughout the game, with at least five points in each quarter. Additionally, the four-time NBA champion set a new season-high in assists and finished second on the team in that department. Thompson’s second season in Dallas has featured several highs and lows, but Thursday’s game marked a trend in the right direction after failing to score in double figures in the three previous games.

Flagg came within two assists of his first-career triple-double, as he collected double-digit rebounds for the fourth time this season, and reached 25 points or more for the seventh time. The rookie sensation also came through on the defensive end — there, he finished with four stocks and tied a career-high in steals. Flagg has enjoyed a stellar first NBA season. His trajectory could lead him to become one of the most productive fantasy players for years to come.

Davis was effective in his 35 minutes of game action, finishing as one of three Mavericks players to score at least 20 points and one of two to collect double-digit rebounds. Thursday’s double-double marked his 13th of the season. However, the veteran big man exited the floor late in the fourth quarter after suffering a hand injury and didn’t return. His status moving forward will certainly be worth monitoring from a fantasy basketball standpoint.

Williams played nine minutes in the first half, tallying two points (1-of-4 FGs), three rebounds and one assist. His absence for the rest of the night may result in a few more minutes for Ryan Nembhard, but that isn’t guaranteed. In recent games, Nembhard has not been productive enough to merit being rostered in most fantasy leagues.

A late addition to the Bulls’ injury report, Huerter will not be available to provide production as a spot starter. Coby White (calf) is off the injury report after sitting out Wednesday’s loss to the Pistons, so he can slide into the spot left vacant due to Huerter’s absence.

Williams had been listed as questionable earlier in the day but was upgraded after going through a shootaround. The 26-year-old posted 18 points, two rebounds, and two assists in 27 minutes on Tuesday. He may see a slight reduction in minutes on Thursday, which would potentially mean a slightly larger role for Ryan Nembhard in this one.

Over his last two games, Vučević has grabbed a total of 31 rebounds. While Detroit’s Isaiah Stewart outplayed him, the veteran center’s double-double will please those who have him rostered. Vučević’s fantasy ceiling may be limited, but he still offers a high floor. The lingering question is whether he’ll be on the move before the February trade deadline.

The Bulls did not have Coby White or Josh Giddey for Wednesday’s game, and that usually results in a higher ceiling for Dosunmu. He didn’t start against Detroit, but the reserve guard shot 66.7 percent from the field and led the way offensively for Chicago. Rostered in 23 percent of Yahoo! leagues, he has been a top-100 player over the past two weeks. Dosunmu is worth holding onto until the Bulls’ perimeter rotation returns to full strength.

Buzelis has now scored at least 20 points in three of his last four games. However, recent injuries to Josh Giddey and Coby White have not resulted in the forward having a higher fantasy ceiling.

Williams entered Tuesday shooting a career-worst 18.8 percent from beyond the arc. However, his struggles did not prevent Cooper Flagg from passing the ball to the Mavericks’ guard, whose three-pointer with 33.9 seconds remaining proved to be the game-winning shot. Just as encouraging for the few who did not drop Williams is that his playing time has been solid recently. Despite coming off the bench, he’s played at least 24 minutes in five straight games, while Ryan Nembhard (three rebounds and four assists) has lost significant playing time and been bumped to the bench. For those who held onto Williams, keep doing so.

Davis didn’t have a good night shooting the basketball, but rebounds and blocked shots helped compensate. The 16 rebounds were one shy of his season-high, and the Mavericks’ forward/center has blocked seven shots over his last two games. With Daniel Gafford (10 points, 13 rebounds, one steal and one blocked shot) in the starting lineup, Davis can lurk more defensively, giving more opportunities to block shots from the weak side. While being the lone big on the floor may boost Davis’ offensive value, sharing the court with another big helps him defensively.

Flagg’s second stint as the primary playmaker in Dallas’ starting lineup has gone well. Through two games, the rookie has recorded 12 assists with just three turnovers. One of his six helpers on Tuesday set up Brandon Williams’ game-winning three-pointer with 33.9 seconds remaining. If Flagg can continue on this path of efficient playmaking, reaching his Yahoo! ADP (42) before the season concludes should not be difficult. There was an injury scare during Tuesday’s game, as Flagg left during the third quarter after banging knees with Sacramento’s Precious Achiuwa. However, after some time on the exercise bike, the rookie was back on the court later in the quarter.

Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd’s decision to drop Ryan Nembhard to the bench did not result in Williams being moved into the starting lineup. However, he played 24 minutes, while Nembhard (five points, three assists and one three-pointer) played 13. Neither guard has been exceptionally reliable in fantasy basketball this season, with both ranked outside the top-200 in eight- and nine-cat formats. For that reason, fantasy managers should not rush to add either, especially ahead of a three-game Week 12.

The decision to replace Ryan Nembhard in the starting lineup with Daniel Gafford (9/8/1/0/2 in 19 minutes) pushed Davis to his preferred power forward role, and he had one of his most impactful games of the season. In addition to recording his 11th double-double of the season, the Mavericks’ forward/center tallied a season-high five blocked shots. Davis is more comfortable at the four, but how much he gets to play there depends on Gafford’s availability. The Mavericks play three games in Week 12, starting with the Kings on Tuesday.
