Initially questionable for Friday’s game, Russell will not be available. Brandon Williams’ status as the starting point guard does not change, but D’Lo being out should result in more minutes for fellow reserve Jaden Hardy. Hardy is not worth the streaming risk in this role.

Lively had four points and 10 rebounds in 18 minutes in Wednesday’s game against the Knicks. The 21-year-old center has been active for three of the last four Mavericks games following his return from a right knee injury. Lively and Daniel Gafford handle the center duties against the Pelicans on Friday.

This is a new illness for D’Lo, and his appearance on the injury report so late on a Friday means he should be considered a game-time call. Brandon Williams has started each of Dallas’ last six games and played well, but Russell’s absence could free up some additional playing time for Jaden Hardy off the bench.

Zubac only contributed in the points and rebounds categories, but fantasy managers will undoubtedly take the production. He’s up to nine double-doubles on the season, with Thursday’s 19 boards being a season-high. Due to the Clippers’ many injuries, Zubac and James Harden have been the team’s only reliable options for fantasy managers. The Clippers end Week 5 with a Saturday/Sunday back-to-back against the Hornets and Cavaliers, with the latter matchup setting up to be a challenging one for Zubac due to Cleveland’s tandem of Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen.

As has been the case for most of the season, Harden carried most of the offensive workload on Thursday, with Ivica Zubac being the only other Clipper in double figures. Harden has scored at least 31 points in three of his last four games, providing top-5 per-game value in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past week. The Clippers continue their road trip in Charlotte on Saturday, and that should be a good matchup for Harden.

Martin did not play in Wednesday’s loss to the Knicks, which factored into fellow reserve Naji Marshall logging 34 minutes. Martin hasn’t done enough to be rostered in fantasy leagues, but he may siphon a few minutes away from the more impactful Marshall.

Flagg is good to go after missing Wednesday’s loss to the Knicks. His return means Klay Thompson will head back to the bench after hitting three three-pointers and scoring 13 points. Thompson is rostered in only 15 percent of Yahoo! leagues, and for good reason, as he has struggled thus far.

Unfortunately, it seems that the 30-year-old will have to undergo a follow-up surgery on the same knee. It’s been a difficult career for Exum after being taken fifth overall in the 2014 NBA Draft. He appeared in 82 games in his rookie season, but then missed the following year with an injury and only appeared in more than 42 games once over the remaining five years before leaving the NBA to continue playing overseas. He came back to the league with the Mavericks last season and averaged 7.8 points, 2.9 assists, and 2.7 rebounds in 19.8 minutes per game.

This will now be the ninth game in a row that Leonard has missed with his multiple foot injuries. The Clippers are just 1-7 over the first eight games without him, and would certainly love to have him back on the court, especially with Bradley Beal (hip) and Derrick Jones Jr. (knee) also out. Nicolas Batum and Kobe Sanders will continue to see larger roles in his absence.

While Brandon Williams (9/2/4/1 with one three-pointer) continues to serve as the Mavericks’ starting point guard, there have been nights when Russell has been more useful to fantasy managers. Wednesday was one of those occasions, as the veteran guard was efficient as a scorer and distributor in the two-point defeat. Williams has been more valuable by a significant distance on the season as a whole, ranking five rounds higher than Russell, so Wednesday’s performance may not change too many minds in fantasy circles.

For the first time this season, the Mavericks were without Cooper Flagg (illness). While Klay Thompson (13/2/2 with three three-pointers) was the choice to move into the starting lineup, it was Marshall who proved more valuable to fantasy managers. And that development was unsurprising to fantasy managers, as Naji has been far more useful than Thompson in category leagues. Rostered in 17 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Marshall has been a 10th-round player in nine-cat formats. He’ll be worth streaming if Flagg remains out for Friday’s game against the Pelicans.

Due to injuries, the Mavericks have made two changes to their starting lineup. Cooper Flagg (illness) will miss a game for the first time, with Thompson returning to the starting five. The other change is Lively, who is back after missing Monday’s loss to the Timberwolves. His return means Moussa Cisse will head to the bench, but he isn’t guaranteed rotation minutes since Daniel Gafford is also available.

This one got out of hand quickly as Minnesota built a 32-point lead by the end of the third quarter. Flagg was one of the few bright spots for the injury-depleted Mavericks as he shot 60 percent from the floor and hit two of three from beyond the arc. It’s been an up-and-down rookie campaign so far, which isn’t unexpected as he acclimates to everyday life at the highest level on a Dallas squad that appears headed towards a potential full-scale teardown. Dallas will attempt to turn things around when they host the Knicks on Wednesday evening.

Zubac’s final stat line was modest, but the 7-footer did record his eighth double-double of the season on Monday. Six have been tallied over the last seven games, and just as crucial for fantasy managers is the playing time. During this seven-game stretch, Zubac has played an average of 34 minutes, even higher than his career-best mark of 32.8 last season. Brook Lopez, who was brought in to provide legitimate value as the backup center, hasn’t answered the call. On Monday, he played 14 minutes and finished with six points, one rebound and one three-pointer. Until that changes, Zubac will continue to clear 30 minutes, if not approach 35.

Harden had two opportunities to win the game in the final seconds, but both three-point attempts missed the mark. That may have been an appropriate conclusion to what was an inefficient and frustrating night for “The Beard.” Harden shot 2-of-12 from three and wasn’t much better inside the arc, shooting 28 percent overall. A perfect night at the foul line boosted the final point total, but he’s been asked to shoulder a heavy workload due to the Clippers’ injuries. Fantasy managers who have Harden rostered have to hope that he doesn’t get worn down.

Sanders made his first professional start on Monday and delivered solid offensive production. He shot just under 50 percent from the field and notched season-highs in points and three-pointers. While the production outside of those categories was lackluster, Sanders logged 30 minutes. With Cam Christie (two points and one blocked shot) playing 12 minutes and Kobe Brown picking up a DNP-CD, that may bode well for Sanders in the short term. He still isn’t worth adding in most leagues, but place the rookie on your watchlists.

The Clippers will be without Jones for at least six weeks after he suffered a Grade 2 MCL sprain during Sunday’s loss to the Celtics. Sanders, a second-round pick out of Nevada who has averaged 13.8 minutes in five appearances, will fill the void on Monday. Given the rookie’s limited production thus far, fantasy managers will be better off adding Sanders to their watchlists instead of going “all in” immediately. Last week, Lue mentioned Sanders, Jordan Miller (who’s currently out with a hamstring injury), Cam Christie and Kobe Brown as players who would play more, so there will be competition for those minutes.

Despite playing on an ankle that still doesn’t appear to be fully healthy, Gafford was excellent in his 31 minutes on the court Sunday night. A double-digit scorer in three straight appearances, the Mavericks center notched his first 20-point game of the season. Add in the blocked shots, and Sunday was a good night to have Gafford rostered. He has already played both games of a back-to-back this season, which may bode well for Gafford’s availability for Monday’s game against the Timberwolves. However, he did admit after the game that he aggravated the ankle injury during overtime. Gafford, who said the plan was to travel to Minnesota for Monday’s game, should be considered questionable after logging a season-high 31 minutes.

After shooting 1-of-3 from the field in the first half, Flagg was far more assertive. He shot 4-of-5 from the field in the third quarter, and the rookie forward hit two key shots in the extra period to help Dallas pull away.

Things appear to be looking up for Flagg.

Washington was one of three Mavericks starters to score at least 20 points in Sunday’s overtime victory, a step in the right direction for the forward. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, P.J. hasn’t benefited from the injuries to other Mavericks frontcourt players in terms of value. Rostered in 42 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Washington is ranked well outside the top-150 in nine-cat formats. However, Dallas’ four-game Week 5 makes him worth holding onto in deep leagues, especially with Anthony Davis still out.

After struggling mightily to begin the season, Thompson may be getting back on track. He’s reached double figures in three straight games, making at least four three-pointers in each. At this stage of his career, Thompson is more of a specialist than a player who can provide solid fantasy value across multiple categories. And that’s unlikely to change anytime soon, especially with Max Christie (14/4/4/1 with three three-pointers) taking Klay’s place in the starting lineup. Dallas plays four games during Week 5, starting with Minnesota on Monday.

Harden’s surreal 32-point second half was the driving force behind the Clippers’ late rally, as he nearly willed them to an improbable comeback win in Boston. He buried a pair of clutch three-pointers in the final 10 seconds to make it a one-point game with two seconds left, but missed a potential game-tying trey at the buzzer — a sequence that somehow felt like the perfect microcosm of his entire career. The 36-year-old scoring machine has topped 30 points in three of his last four contests. The Clippers will continue their seven-game road trip this week with stops in Philadelphia, Orlando, Charlotte, and Cleveland.

Zubac has been a double-double machine this season, accomplishing the feat seven times through 13 contests. The 28-year-old center had little trouble exploiting Boston’s lack of interior size and depth by repeatedly going to work against Neemias Queta and Luka Garza. The Clippers probably should’ve gone to him more frequently in this one, but they did get 17 points in 30 minutes from fellow big man John Collins. He should continue to see an increase in opportunities on the offensive end of the floor while Kawhi Leonard remains out with knee and ankle injuries.

Having missed the Mavericks’ last eight games with a strained left calf, Davis was evaluated over the weekend. While progress is being made, he’ll be out for at least another 7-10 days. With Mavericks governor Patrick Dumont making it clear in the aftermath of GM Nico Harrison’s firing that he doesn’t want Davis to play until there’s no chance of aggravating the calf strain, it may be a while before AD is back on the court.

In his first appearance of the season, Miller had a fantastic performance off the bench.

With Bradley Beal (hip) back on the sideline, Collins made his first start since joining the Clippers this offseason. While he was in the role many fantasy managers expected him to fulfill, the former Hawks forward struggled against the team that selected him in the 2017 draft.

He’s still rostered in 84 percent of Yahoo! leagues, with Beal’s injury putting some fantasy managers in a holding pattern.

Zubac recorded his fifth double-double in 10 games on Monday, continuing to provide solid fantasy value at the center position. Something to watch moving forward is Big Zu’s playing time, as he’s logged at least 30 minutes on five occasions. During the preseason, Clippers head coach Tyronn Lue said he wanted Zubac to play fewer minutes after he averaged 32 per game in 2024-25. However, offseason signing Brook Lopez (nine points, two assists, one block and two three-pointers) has not done enough to give the Clippers the two-headed monster they desired at the center position. If Zubac can consistently hit or exceed 30 minutes, his chances of making good on his Yahoo! ADP (41) increase.
