Davis was held out of Sunday’s regular season finale against the Grizzlies, as the Mavericks were locked into the 9/10 Play-In tournament game. The probable tag suggests he should be back in the lineup on Wednesday as Dallas looks to keep its season alive. Davis’s return will push Max Christie to the bench, as the Mavericks went small on Sunday.

Williams didn’t return after suffering an injury against the Grizzlies on Sunday. There’s a chance Williams be active for the play-in tournament, but Spencer Dinwiddie and Jaden Hardy will handle the point guard duties if he’s ruled out.

He struggled as a scorer in his first career start, but James was able to impact the game in other ways. He set new career highs for both assists and steals while playing a career-high 38 minutes. The Lakers rested their starters since this game had no impact on their place in the standings. It was good to get an extended look at the rookie, but he won’t be part of the rotation in the playoffs.

Hardy’s stat line was unsurprising to those familiar with his game. While the absences meant more opportunities for the third-year guard, his inefficiency limits Hardy’s fantasy ceiling. The Mavericks will play Sacramento in the play-in tournament on Wednesday, and Hardy is unlikely to be an impactful rotation member.

With the Lakers resting their key players for the postseason, Knecht was able to move into the starting unit and play an extended role. Knecht has been able to score a lot when he plays a large role, but he hasn’t been a large part of the Lakers’ rotation over the last few weeks. This was a strong way for him to close out his first regular season, but he will play sparingly in the playoffs.

Dallas rested most of its key rotation players, with Gafford being one of the exceptions. He only played 19 minutes on Sunday, but the stat line was undoubtedly helpful to fantasy managers in active leagues. Dallas will be the tenth seed in the West, meaning they’ll visit Sacramento on Wednesday. The winner will get to play for the eighth seed, while the loser will head home for the summer.

Williams started Sunday’s regular-season finale but strained his left oblique muscle during the first half. He has since been ruled out, finishing with four rebounds and one blocked shot in seven minutes. Jaden Hardy will likely absorb most of the minutes that would have gone to Williams, as Spencer Dinwiddie will be in the rotation for Wednesday’s play-in game against Sacramento.

It will be five new starters for the Lakers in the regular season finale with the rest of their typical opening unit sitting out to prepare for the playoffs.

Initially doubtful for Sunday’s regular-season finale, Lively is officially out.

Both players will be good to go in the regular season finale for the Lakers, which won’t have an impact on the standings with LA having already clinched the third seed in the West.

Vincent is questionable for Sunday’s game, which will not impact the Lakers’ playoff seeding. With Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves already out, Gabe could have the ultimate “green light” if he can play. However, he’s struggled with knee issues since joining the Lakers, so getting him additional rest before the postseason may be the team’s priority.

Finney-Smith is among the many Lakers’ rotation players who will sit out Sunday’s regular-season finale, which has no impact on the team’s playoff seeding.

The Lakers secured the third seed in the West with their win over the Rockets on Friday. Sunday’s rotation will look nothing like the core that will take center stage in the postseason next weekend.

James aggravated his strained left groin during the third quarter of Friday’s win over the Rockets. With that victory, the Lakers secured the third seed in the West, so there’s no need for LeBron to play on Sunday. Hachimura will also get some time off as the Lakers look to get everyone healthy for next week’s playoffs. Jordan Goodwin (foot) and Dalton Knecht should play plenty on Sunday, with the former considered probable on the initial injury report.

With the Lakers securing the third seed in the West with a win over Houston on Friday, most of their key rotation players will not play in Portland.

Bronny James may also play extended minutes due to the Lakers’ lengthy injury report.

Martin has not missed a game since March 25. While his production has not been elite, more opportunities should be available in Sunday’s regular season finale.

Thompson won’t play in Sunday’s regular season finale, and Lively appears unlikely to be available. Dallas is locked into the ninth-seed in the West, so most of the key players will not play.

The Mavericks are locked into the ninth-seed in the West, regardless of what happens on Sunday. Davis and Washington will get the day off ahead of next week’s matchup with the Kings, and they’ll need to win two games to reach the postseason. Daniel Gafford is not on the initial injury report, but fantasy managers should not expect to see him play too many minutes.

Friday’s victory secured the three-seed in the West for the Lakers, which would mean a second-round matchup with Houston if both teams got out of the first round. For that reason, Finney-Smith’s last two performances against the Rockets were notable. After shooting 6-of-11 from three in the Lakers’ March 31 win over Houston, he was 6-of-8 on Friday. From a fantasy standpoint, Finney-Smith provided the three-pointers and steals on Friday that many managers expect from him. We’ll see if he plays against Portland on Sunday, as nothing will be on the line for the Lakers.

Reaves and the Lakers were excellent on Friday, shooting nearly 61 percent from the field. Reaves made 66.7 percent of his attempts, finishing one block shy of a complete stat line. With Friday’s victory securing the three-seed for the Western Conference playoffs, it’s possible that Reaves does not play in Sunday’s regular season finale in Portland. If he gets the day off, Jordan Goodwin (3/6/3 with one three-pointer) and Gabe Vincent (one rebound, one assist and one steal) are two players whose playing time would increase.
LAL • Forward-Guard • #77

The shorthanded Rockets, who played Friday’s game without four starters, had no answer for Doncic. He shot well over 50 percent from the field and did not see any action during the fourth quarter. Friday’s victory secured the three-seed for the Lakers, which may factor into Doncic’s availability for Sunday’s game in Portland. With LeBron James injuring his leg during the third quarter, that may be reason enough to sit Doncic for the regular season finale.
LAL • Forward • #23

James suffered an apparent left leg injury during the third quarter of Friday’s game, exiting with 7:27 remaining. He did not return, with some wondering if the 40-year-old tweaked the groin injury that sidelined him for seven games in mid-March. However, the heating pad applied to James’ leg appeared to be on his quad. Following the game, Lakers coach JJ Redick said LeBron was “fine.” Friday’s victory secured the three-seed in the West, so there’s no reason for James to play in Sunday’s game against the Trail Blazers. Expect plenty of Dalton Knecht after the rookie only logged four minutes against the Rockets.

AD may have struggled in his first game against his former team when the Mavericks hosted the Lakers on Wednesday, but that didn’t carry over into Friday’s performance whatsoever. He entered halftime on quadruple-double watch after contributing 12 points, seven rebounds, seven assists and six blocks in the first half. Unfortunately, he only added one more block in the second half, and he only played 30 minutes, though that can be attributed to the lopsided score. Davis should be in for another big night in the season finale in Memphis on Sunday before they take on the Kings in the Play-In Tournament next week.

Christie’s tenure with the Mavericks got off to a strong start, and while he wasn’t able to maintain that for most of March, he has been playing well entering the postseason. He has scored in double figures in five of his last six appearances, and this was Christie’s highest-scoring performance since March 19, when he also scored 17 points. Christie should be a solid reserve in the postseason, but it’s difficult to see him providing standard league value when Dallas is fully healthy next season.

This was Lively’s fourth appearance since he injured his ankle back in the middle of January. His 18 minutes in this game were the most he has played since prior to his injury, and while it wasn’t much more than he played in his previous three games, he was able to record his first double-double since January 9. He had a total of 12 points and eight rebounds in his last three games, and he was held without a rebounds against the Lakers on Wednesday. It’s good to see Lively playing well after such a lengthy absence.

For just the second time this season and the first since November 27, James did not attempt a free throw in Sunday’s game. However, he was efficient, shooting over 50 percent from the field and committing just two turnovers in the Lakers’ 126-99 victory. Over the past two weeks, James has provided top-25 value in eight- and nine-cat formats, unsurprising production for the future Hall of Fame forward. The Lakers play four games for managers whose leagues will be active during Week 23, starting with the Thunder on Tuesday.

The Lakers finished Sunday’s victory with six double-digit scorers, including Reaves. He’s scored at least 20 points in three straight games and six of his last seven. Over the past two weeks, Reaves has provided top-20 value in eight- and nine-cat formats. Managers in leagues that will be active next week who have him rostered will be pleased that the Lakers play four games during Week 23. They begin their final week of the regular season with a rematch with Oklahoma City on Tuesday.

Doncic continues to take better care of the basketball, committing only two turnovers in Saturday’s 126-99 victory. Add in the efficient shooting, and this was one of his better all-around performances since joining the Lakers in February. The good news for Doncic managers whose leagues run through Week 23 is that the Lakers still have seeding to play for, so availability should not be an issue for him. Los Angeles plays four games, starting with the Thunder on Tuesday.

Thompson shot 4-of-8 from three and did not provide much else of value to fantasy managers on Saturday. Over the past two weeks, the veteran sharpshooter is ranked outside the top 200 in eight- and nine-cat formats. Thompson has primarily been a points and three-pointers player this season, and his field goal percentage of 41.3 percent is the lowest of his career. Thompson managers whose leagues are active during Week 23 will have three games to work with, starting with Wednesday’s matchup against the Lakers.

Saturday’s game was Lively’s second since returning from a stress fracture in his ankle. As expected, there’s still some rust, and the Mavericks are taking a conservative approach to his workload. Lively only played 15 minutes, offering limited value during his time on the court. With Daniel Gafford (knee) sitting out, Kai Jones assumed the backup center responsibilities and had an excellent night. Shooting 9-of-9 from the field, he finished with 18 points, seven rebounds, one steal and three blocks. However, as good as this line was, fantasy managers whose leagues will be active next week don’t need to pick up Jones. Dallas plays on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, which should ensure that Lively and Gafford are available.

After sitting out Friday’s loss to the Clippers, Davis was back in the lineup for Saturday’s rematch. While the points and rebounds were solid, his efficiency left something to be desired. Not only did Davis shoot below 50 percent from the field, but he was also responsible for six turnovers. Over the past two weeks, he has been a ninth-round player in eight-cat formats, ranking just outside the top-100 according to Basketball Monster. For Davis managers whose leagues run through Week 23, the Mavericks play three games, all on the busiest days of the week (Wednesday, Friday and Sunday).

Hardy was productive in 29 minutes, but his Friday night came to a painful end during the fourth quarter. He stepped on a Clippers’ player’s foot and sprained his right ankle. Requiring assistance to get back to the locker room, Hardy could not put any weight on his right leg. At a minimum, fantasy managers should assume he will not be available for Saturday’s rematch with the Clippers. Between Hardy’s injury and Klay Thompson (illness) exiting during the first half, Max Christie (11/6/1/1 with one three-pointer in 33 minutes) should play plenty on Saturday, possibly as a starter.

Dinwiddie has reached double figures in four straight and 12 of his last 13 games. Since moving into the starting lineup on March 19, the Mavericks’ guard has provided fifth-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats. Dinwiddie hasn’t been the most reliable fantasy option for most of his career. Still, the current injury situation in Dallas makes him a must-roster player for Saturday’s game against the Clippers. He’s rostered in 52 percent of Yahoo! leagues, so managers in shallow leagues can find Dinwiddie on the waiver wire.

After scoring 14 points on 6-of-13 shooting in his prior two games, Marshall benefited from the Mavericks playing without Anthony Davis on Friday. He’s scored 20 points or more 16 times this season, 15 more than his prior four seasons combined. While Davis may be available for Saturday’s rematch with the Clippers, Dallas watched Klay Thompson (illness) and Jaden Hardy (ankle) exit Friday’s game due to injury. Marshall will have a higher fantasy ceiling if they’re unavailable, even if Davis plays.

Reaves has had back-to-back games with at least 30 points buoyed by magnificent three-point shooting efforts. He’s 15-of-25 from behind the three-point line over the last two nights.

Doncic’s 35 points were the most he’s had in a game since dropping 45 points on the Bucks on March 13. The 26-year-old point guard went 10-of-21 from the field including four made three-pointers, but also got the foul line 11 times and made all of his free throw attempts. Doncic only turned the ball over twice and hasn’t had more than three turnovers in a game his last seven times out on the court. He’s closing the season on a high note after a rocky middle of the season that included an injury and trade to the Lakers.
