Green is back after sitting out Wednesday’s loss to the Timberwolves, with his return pushing Nick Smith Jr. to the bench. The other change is Nurkic, who will fill the void left by Mark Williams. Nurkic is already rostered in most standard leagues, while Green hasn’t done enough to merit being rostered in most leagues.

Initially probable for Friday’s game, Ball and Green are officially available. They’ll take their usual places in the Hornets’ starting lineup, so fantasy managers must ensure that Ball is in their lineups before lock time. Green remains a player who does not need to be rostered in most leagues.

No surprise here as Smith Jr. was initially listed as probable with a right quad contusion. The 20-year-old shooting guard played 37 minutes against the Timberwolves Wednesday and could see a similar workload here.

Martin is available for his Mavericks debut against the Grizzlies Friday. He’s only set to play about 15 minutes, according to head coach Jason Kidd. The 29-year-old small forward should fit in just fine with Dallas given the amount of injuries the Mavericks are currently dealing with.

Prosper was already ruled out for Friday’s game against the Grizzlies with a wrist injury. The 22-year-old power forward is just another in what’s becoming a long line of Mavericks front court injuries. Dwight Powell, Kessler Edwards and Naji Marshall should all continue to play big minutes.

Due to a hip injury suffered while with the 76ers, Martin, acquired at the February trade deadline, has yet to make his Mavericks debut. Given the time missed, fantasy managers should not expect to see Martin play too many minutes. However, with the Mavericks being severely shorthanded, there will likely be opportunities for him to achieve fantasy relevance before the end of the season.

That will have Gafford being evaluated around March 21, which will have him miss at least eight more games. Dallas reported that Gafford has progressed well, but his return to the court may be dependent on the team’s success. They currently hold a 2.5 game lead over Phoenix in the standings for the 10th spot in the West. Dwight Powell should continue to start at center until Gafford returns, though Anthony Davis and Dereck Lively II have been progressing as well and will be evaluated weekly.

Dallas put out a press release saying that AD is “improving daily” and has been “cleared for more dynamic on-court movements.” The release also said that Lively is “progressing in his rehabilitation.” Lively has progressed to “individual on-court work.” Basically, both bigs are progressing well, and the Mavs will check in on them every week, which is what we were already expecting. Their return will likely be dependent on the team’s success. They currently sit 2.5 games ahead of Phoenix in the standings, but they may struggle to maintain their spot in the standings with all the injuries they are dealing with. Managers shouldn’t hold their breath waiting on AD or Lively to return this season, but Dallas will provide an update if something changes.

Martin hasn’t played since early January, but there is a chance that he makes his debut for Dallas against Memphis.

This will be a third-straight absence for Washington, which should lead to another start for Naji Marshall, who contributed 22 points, 10 rebounds, two assists and two there-pointers in 32 minutes against Milwaukee on Wednesday. Marshall is worth rostering as long as Washington is sidelined.

After attempting just four shots in Monday’s loss to the Kings, fantasy managers may not have felt good about Thompson, especially with Kyrie Irving (knee) done for the season. He got up 28 shots in Wednesday’s defeat, and the 28 points are the most Klay has scored in a game since December 15. Can Thompson create enough for himself to increase his fantasy value? We’re about to find out. The field goal percentage on Wednesday wasn’t great, but Klay getting up that many shots was encouraging to see.

Starting for the injured PJ Washington (ankle), Marshall was one of Dallas’ few bright spots on Wednesday. Over the last two games, he’s accounted for 40 points, 15 rebounds, eight assists, two steals and two three-pointers. While ranked outside the top 100 since the All-Star break, Marshall (26 percent rostered, Yahoo!) is worth picking up, even after Washington returns. Kyrie Irving (knee) is out for the season, and there have been rumblings that Anthony Davis (groin) could be shut down.

Starting for the injured Dante Exum (foot), Christie struggled with his shot on Wednesday. However, his time as a Maverick has been productive. Rostered in 29 percent of Yahoo! leagues, the third-year guard has been a 10th-round player in nine-cat formats since making his Mavs debut on February 4. Even if Exum is inserted back into the starting lineup upon returning from his foot injury, Christie is worth holding onto, as the Mavericks need his offense.

Dinwiddie started Wednesday’s game for the injured Kyrie Irving, who suffered a season-ending torn ACL on Monday. While he didn’t provide much value as a scorer, category league managers should be able to benefit from the assists and steals. Rostered in 31 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Dinwiddie is ranked outside the top 300 in eight- and nine-cat formats since the All-Star break. However, the situation makes him a player worth rolling the dice on in standard leagues.

Bridges had made multiple 3-pointers in three straight games and eight of his last nine games entering play Wednesday. The 26-year-old small forward struggled against the Timberwolves as he went 1-of-8 from behind the 3-point line. Bridges had a fine game otherwise as he was still able to drop 23 points, pull down nine rebounds and dish out five assists. He’s provided top-20 value since the All-Star break, though fantasy managers have to hope he’s not shutdown come the fantasy playoffs.

Ball was hardly efficient with 28 points on 28 shots against the Timberwolves. Still, the 23-year-old point guard was just four assists shy of a double-double. Ball was the Hornets only chance of staying in the game as he was -1 in 36 minutes in the 15-point loss to Minnesota. He turned the ball over six times for the third straight game as Ball’s value continues to be significantly higher in eight-category leagues.

Exum and Hardy played in Monday’s loss to the Kings, with the former in the starting lineup. With Kyrie Irving (knee) out for the season, the Mavericks could not afford to lose Exum and Hardy.

Washington will miss a second straight game after aggravating the right ankle sprain that sidelined him for Dallas’ final three games before the All-Star break.

Hardy sustained an ankle injury during Monday night’s game against the Kings. The 22-year-old point guard was set to see additional minutes in the absence of Kyrie Irving, but he’ll find himself joining Irving on the sideline for now.

Irving injured his knee in the first quarter of Monday night’s game against the Kings. The 32-year-old point guard was helped to the locker room as he was unable to put any weight on his left leg. The torn ACL for Irving is just another in a long line of injuries for the Mavericks this season as Anthony Davis, Dereck Lively III and Daniel Gafford are also sidelined. It’s possible depending on the severity of the tear that Irving will not be ready for the start of the 2025-26 season. With Irving out, Spencer Dinwiddie and Max Christie should be added in most leagues and Jaden Hardy will see additional minutes.

Williams has recorded a double-double in four straight games, laying to rest any injury-related concerns after the Lakers rescinded their trade with the Hornets. The third-year center is ranked just outside the top-50 in eight- and nine-cat formats since the All-Star break, with the lone concern being back-to-backs. Of course, the Hornets end Week 18 with a Friday/Saturday back-to-back, so this will likely be a three-game week for Williams instead of four.

Initially probable due to illness, Bridges had one of his best offensive games of the season on Monday night. He matched his season-high with 36 points, and the Hornets forward has shot 50 percent or better from the field in three of his four 30-point outings. Since the All-Star break, Bridges has provided top-20 value in eight- and nine-cat formats. Fantasy managers who have him rostered hope Bridges won’t be shut down before (or during) the playoff weeks. The Hornets didn’t shut him down last season; hopefully, that will be the case as this season approaches its conclusion.

Ball did more of the usual on Monday, recording a complete stat line, albeit with subpar efficiency. The turnover count was more problematic than the field-goal percentage, as the Hornets point guard was responsible for six for the second-straight game. Of the 38 games Ball has played this season, he’s had at least four turnovers in 17. Due to the turnover category, there’s nearly a two-round difference in Ball’s value in eight- and nine-cat formats. In addition to boosting his fantasy value, LaMelo cleaning up the turnovers would likely improve the Hornets’ chances of winning games.

Irving injured his left knee with a little under three minutes remaining in the first quarter. Diagnosed with a sprained left knee, he will not return.

Due to a combination of injuries and Moses Brown’s 10-day contract expiring, the Mavericks have made three changes to their lineup.

However, PJ Washington’s right ankle flared up, and the Mavericks’ forward was ruled out after playing for 15 minutes.

Thompson has been effective for fantasy managers needing three-point production recently, as he’s made three or more in seven straight and nine of his last 10 games. Since the All-Star break, the veteran sharpshooter has provided seventh-round value in nine-cat formats.

With the drama of the failed trade behind him, Williams has put together two consecutive fantastic stat lines. This was Williams’ second straight 20-point double-double and his seventh of the season. The defensive production and sky high field goal percentage were an added bonus, though not uncommon from Williams this season.

Green did a little bit of everything in this game, though it seemed like it was going to be a much bigger performance than it ended up being. Green entered halftime with 13 points, but Charlotte didn’t turn to him much after the break. Green is a solid starter for the Hornets, but he hasn’t been much of a contributor in fantasy basketball. Managers shouldn’t rush to the waiver wire after a performance like this since he hasn’t been able to produce in the box score consistently this season.
