The Mavericks are without Daniel Gafford and Marvin Bagley III for Friday’s game, so Powell will be the starting center. While he offers a limited fantasy ceiling, the veteran forward/center will play plenty due to Dallas’s lack of interior depth.

Coward and Hendricks sat out Wednesday’s loss to the Trail Blazers, as it was Memphis’ second game in as many nights. The former’s return will likely mean fewer minutes for Jahmai Mashack, while the latter may siphon minutes away from GG Jackson and Olivier-Maxence Prosper.

Bagley III is still working his way back from a neck strain, and he’s likely to miss a fifth straight contest. Gafford will get the night off for the second leg of Dallas’ back-to-back set, which isn’t too surprising. With both bigs expected to miss this one, expect Dwight Powell and P.J. Washington to see additional run.

While Middleton was responsible for six turnovers, the overall production made up for subpar showings in his prior two games. The veteran forward led all Mavericks starters with 19 points, and the seven assists matched his high in a Dallas uniform. While Middleton did play both games of the Mavs’ most recent back-to-back, he was limited to 19 minutes in the second game, a February 27 loss to the Grizzlies.

Thompson had a big night in Orlando, hitting a season-high seven three-pointers on 12 attempts. The 24 points were two shy of his season-high, with the Mavericks’ wing recording his first 20-point game since January 17. Thompson played 26 minutes on Thursday, and it’s not guaranteed he’ll be available for Friday’s game against the Celtics. If Klay sits, AJ Johnson could re-enter the rotation after picking up a DNP-CD on Thursday.

Two nights removed from playing 28 minutes in his first game back from a sprained ankle that sidelined him for three contests, Washington played 33 minutes without issue on Thursday. The Mavericks’ forward, who recorded a complete stat line, has averaged 15.8 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.0 steals, 0.6 blocks and 1.6 three-pointers per game since the All-Star break.

Flagg made his return to the Mavericks’ lineup after missing eight games with a left midfoot sprain, with the 26 minutes being one more than his stated limit. The rookie shot 6-of-17 from two, which hurt his field-goal percentage, but he did record a complete stat line. Before the game, it was reported that Flagg could play more on Friday in Boston if everything checks out health-wise. The fact that he’s playing the second game of a back-to-back this soon is great news for fantasy managers.

This has Morant being re-evaluated around March 19, which means he will miss at least two months with this injury. There is a chance he returns shortly after, but this could be nearing the end of the fantasy playoffs in many leagues. Memphis still has plenty of depth at point guard, with Ty Jerome, Scotty Pippen Jr., Cam Spencer and Walter Clayton Jr. also playing large roles with Morant out.

Williams was downgraded to questionable earlier in the day and has now officially been ruled out. The returns of Cooper Flagg and Naji Marshall could’ve bumped Williams to the bench regardless, but if they opt for a traditional point guard in the starting unit, Ryan Nembhard would be next in line, and he should see extra minutes regardless.

Williams had been listed as probable, so the downgrade is not the best news. The Mavericks will also play on Friday night, so the team could sit Williams for the first leg of a back-to-back. If they do, the Mavericks would likely start Ryan Nembhard and give AJ Johnson more minutes.

Because it was the team’s second game in as many nights, the Grizzlies played Wednesday’s game without Ty Jerome and Scotty Pippen Jr. Those absences freed up a few more opportunities for Spencer, even if he was still used in a reserve role. The second-year guard’s seven assists were the most in a game for him since February 20, when Spencer dished out ten in a win over the Jazz. While Jerome, Pippen and Javon Small (11/7/5/2/1 with one three-pointer) may boast higher ceilings since they’ve been in the starting lineup when available, deep-league managers should not sleep on Spencer.

On the same day that he agreed to a multi-year contract that ensured he would be available for the rest of the season, Prosper recorded a solid stat line that only lacked a blocked shot. Given how shorthanded the Grizzlies are in the frontcourt, O-Max should play plenty the rest of the season, even if he’s being used out of position. Rostered in 12 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Prosper has been close to a top-100 player since the All-Star break.

Rostered in 19 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Wells’ production has picked up since the All-Star break. He has been an eighth-round player in eight-cat formats, according to Basketball Monster. That may not seem like much, but it is a significant improvement on Wells’ output earlier this season. The Grizzlies play once more in Week 19, as they host the Clippers on Saturday.

The 2023 first-round pick wasn’t able to find his footing in Dallas, but he has played well enough to earn a full contract with Memphis. Over the past two weeks, he has averaged 12.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.4 steals per game. O-Max has benefited from numerous injuries and trades, so he likely won’t make much of a fantasy impact next season. However, he’ll hold some value during silly season over the final month of the year.

Edey was incredibly effective when he was on the floor, and he is considered an important part of the Grizzlies’ future. Hopefully he’ll be healthier next season after logging just 11 games this year. He played 66 games as a rookie, so there is reason for optimism entering next season.

Back in the lineup after a two-game absence, Jerome logged 24 minutes against the Timberwolves. Fellow backcourt starter Scotty Pippen Jr. (8/3/5/1 with one three-pointer) also played 24 minutes, and both could be held out of Wednesday’s game against the Trail Blazers. If so, that would mean more opportunities for Walter Clayton Jr. (9/1/9/2 with one three-pointer) and Cam Spencer (10/2/4/1 with one three-pointer) to show what they can do.

Appearing in a game for the first time since February 9, Coward was used in a reserve role against the Timberwolves. The rookie wing played 24 minutes, an unsurprising number, given the time missed. Memphis hosts Portland on Wednesday, so fantasy managers should plan for the possibility of Coward not playing. If he sits, Rayan Rupert (13/6/1/1/1 with two three-pointers in 24 minutes) could see his playing time increase.

A double-digit scorer in 13 of his last 14 appearances, Wells has averaged 15.3 points on 53.2 percent shooting from the field since the All-Star break. While the production outside of points and three-pointers was lean on Tuesday, the second-year wing has been a top-100 player since the break. Rostered in 18 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Wells is worth a look in deeper leagues if he’s still on the waiver wire. The only issue is that Memphis plays just two more games in Week 19, starting with the Trail Blazers on Wednesday.

This was a third straight start for Williams, but he has been a consistent source of offense for a while. He has scored at least 10 points in eight straight games and in 14 of his last 15 appearances. Over half of his points came from the free throw line in this game, and he has been able to get to the free throw line at a high rate this season. He’ll continue to carry Dallas offensively until Cooper Flagg returns.

Following a three-game absence with an ankle injury, Washington was back in the starting unit against Charlotte. He played 28 minutes, which is slightly below his season average, though this was a blowout. He wasn’t very productive, and he didn’t register any defensive stats, which have been his bread and butter this season. However, he should continue to play a big role for Dallas, with this six-game road trip continuing in Orlando on Thursday.
