Wednesday’s game will be Lively’s fifth missed game with a knee injury. Daniel Gafford is available and will start, but his minutes may still be restricted. However, he needs to be rostered no matter how many minutes he can play against the Pelicans.

After two straight poor shooting night which yielded a total of 15 points from Washington, he got back on track in a big way against Houston. He shattered his previous season-high of 18 points and recorded his first double-double of the year. Washington won’t have nights like this one often, but it was a strong performance from him. He’s now currently averaging a career-high in points, rebounds, assists and blocks, though that likely won’t continue. Still, it shows how his usage has increased with Kyrie Irving and Anthony Davis both sidelined.

Two days after Russell set a new season-high for scoring, he provided offense off the bench in a different form by setting a new season-high for assists. Though Russell is still in a reserve role, he’ll continue to be important on offense until Kyrie Irving (knee) returns to the lineup, which is still months away. He’ll have inefficient nights like this one, but he’ll still play a large role consistently; he has played at least 29 minutes in four of the Mavericks’ last five games.

Prior to the game, Mavericks coach Jason Kidd said Gafford would remain on a minutes restriction of 15-18 minutes. However, he ended up playing 25 minutes in this one despite playing through right ankle discomfort in the second half. He tweaked the same ankle that had him sidelined to start the season, though he downplayed it after the game. It doesn’t seem like it will be an issue moving forward and exceeding the minutes restriction is a good sign that he’ll be more available moving forward.

Williams, who started Sunday’s win over the Pelicans in place of the ill Luguentz Dort, is dealing with a sprained left shoulder. The impact of JayWill’s potential absence hinges upon Dort’s availability, as he is also questionable for Tuesday night. If Dort returns, Williams’ opportunities will decrease, especially with Chet Holmgren (back) available.

Dort did not play in Sunday’s win over the Pelicans, so the Thunder inserted Jaylin Williams into the starting lineup. Williams is also questionable for Tuesday’s game with a shoulder injury, so the Thunder may have to go even deeper into their bench if JayWill and Dort cannot play. Aaron Wiggins, Isaiah Joe and Cason Wallace are healthy, and all would have increased fantasy value if Dort sits.

Mitchell is dealing with a bilateral glute contusion, hence his appearance on the initial injury report for Tuesday’s game.

If Mitchell cannot play, Isaiah Joe will figure more prominently in the rotation.

The Thunder remained undefeated on the season, and Gilgeous-Alexander led the way with another game of at least 30 points scored — his sixth time going over 30 in the first seven games of the season. The reigning league MVP was very efficient on Sunday, finding a good chunk of production from the free-throw line and ultimately saw his night end after just 30 minutes, thanks to a large OKC lead during the fourth quarter. SGA has gotten off to another strong start to begin the season and could very well find himself in MVP talks again.

Wallace has been one of the league’s most active defenders so far through the first couple of weeks of the season. He notched a season-high in steals on Sunday, which marked the third time this season he’s collected at least four steals in a game. He also made multiple three-pointers and finished Sunday’s contest as one of eight Thunder players to score in double figures. The third-year guard has followed a nice sophomore campaign with a productive start to Year 3.

Hartenstein nearly recorded his first-ever triple-double on Sunday, but a lopsided Thunder win limited him to just 26 minutes of game action. In his time on the floor, he impressed in all phases of the game and helped OKC remain unbeaten on the season. The veteran center has scored in double figures in four of the first seven games of the season while reaching double-digits in rebounds in five of the first seven games. He’s picked up where he left things last season, which was a career-best for him.

Dieng played six first-half minutes before being sidelined by a calf contusion. He finished with three points, one rebound, one assist, one blocked shot and one three-pointer.

Williams will slide into the starting lineup to replace Luguentz Dort, who is sidelined due to an illness.

Injured during the first week of the preseason, Gafford made his season debut on Saturday. He was restricted to 15-18 minutes, and the Mavericks center started and played 17. Dwight Powell (five points, six rebounds and one assist) played 19 minutes off the bench, which may be the split for the Mavericks’ centers for the next few games. Gafford’s fantasy value moving forward will depend on how his ankle responds following games, and when Dereck Lively II (knee) and Anthony Davis (calf) are healthy enough to play. The Mavericks have a four-game Week 3 without a back-to-back, which may bode well for Gafford’s availability.

Christie has now reached double figures in four straight games, the first time he’s done that since his first seven games as a Maverick in February. Rostered in just five percent of Yahoo! leagues, he’s providing solid late-round value in 12-team formats. Christie isn’t a must-roster player, but Dallas’ four-game Week 3 makes him a low-risk player, especially with Anthony Davis (calf) expected to miss a few more weeks.

While Flagg’s numbers were solid, he struggled at times to deal with Detroit’s physicality. He’s shooting just 37.3 percent from the field thus far, but all isn’t lost for the rookie. Flagg is ranked just outside the top-100 in nine-cat formats, thanks to solid averages across the board and a low turnover number (1.8 per game). And it hasn’t helped that the Mavericks have struggled with injuries, most notably Anthony Davis. Flagg will be fine, but fantasy managers will have to find a way to compensate for his low field-goal percentage for a bit.

Russell has hit double figures in three of his last four games, surpassing 20 points twice. Saturday’s performance was the best of the bunch, with the 31 points being the most he’s scored in a game since March 8, 2024, as a member of the Lakers (44 vs. Milwaukee). D’Lo was expected by many to begin the season as a starter, but Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd’s decision to toss the keys to Cooper Flagg may have caught the veteran by surprise. He’s recently looked more comfortable in his role, giving Dallas needed production off the bench as they play without Anthony Davis. The Mavericks play four games during Week 3, starting with the Rockets on Monday.

Gafford is available after missing more than a month with an ankle injury suffered during the first week of the preseason. However, while he is in the starting lineup, Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd said during his pregame availability that Gafford will be limited to 15-18 minutes. Dwight Powell will still get rotation minutes due to how banged-up the Mavericks are in the frontcourt. The other four starters are unchanged.

Russell is available after initially being listed as questionable with a left knee contusion. He’ll take on his usual role off the bench, likely playing within 22 and 25 minutes.

Gafford is still yet to appear in a game this year due to his ankle injury. While it’s unclear how many minutes he could play in his season debut, the 27-year-old big man is going to be active tonight and we can’t say the same about Anthony Davis (calf) and Dereck Lively II (knee). There’s certainly the opportunity for Gafford to play heavy minutes with the Mavericks shorthanded.

Davis left Wednesday’s win over the Pacers during the first quarter with what was described at the time as lower left leg soreness. He has since been diagnosed with a low-grade left calf strain and will miss at least two games: Saturday vs. Detroit in Mexico City and Monday at Houston. With Dereck Lively II and Daniel Gafford also dealing with injuries, the Mavericks must rely on a combination of Dwight Powell and smaller lineups that don’t include a legitimate center. Powell isn’t a great fantasy option, but he’s worth considering in deep leagues due to the Mavericks’ lack of healthy choices.

Rostered in 32 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Mitchell has been one of the biggest surprises in fantasy basketball thus far. He’s providing fifth-round value in 12-team formats, which is excellent production for a player barely on anyone’s radar during the preseason.

The Thunder were without Chet Holmgren for a second consecutive game on Thursday. After attempting just three shots in Tuesday’s win over the Kings, Hartenstein was more active on the offensive end of the floor against the Wizards, scoring a season-high 17 points. Despite his low free-throw percentage (54.5), Harteinstein isn’t too far outside the top-100 in nine-cat formats. He remains a must-roster player, especially in leagues that have two-center lineups.

Gilgeous-Alexander, who led the NBA in scoring last season, has scored 30 points or more in five of Oklahoma City’s first six games. The Wizards didn’t have an answer for the reigning league MVP, as he shot 55 percent from the field and did not commit a turnover.

After playing eight minutes or less in Dallas’ first three games, Powell picked up the dreaded DNP-CD in Monday’s loss to the Thunder. However, Powell’s name was called with Anthony Davis (leg) joining Dereck Lively II and Daniel Gafford on the sideline during the first quarter of Wednesday’s game. And the veteran answered, recording season-highs in points, rebounds and blocked shots. He only attempted six shots, but a 10-of-12 night at the foul line boosted Powell’s point total. There’s no need to add him, but that could change if the Mavericks are forced to play without Davis, Lively and Gafford.

His playing time was also notable, with Williams playing 22 minutes off the bench while D’Angelo Russell (14/2/5/1 with one three-pointer) logged 20.

With the Mavericks currently without Dereck Lively II and Daniel Gafford, they’ve needed Washington to step up defensively and on the glass. He’s grabbed at least nine rebounds in three of his last four, including a season-high 11 on Wednesday. Also, the Mavericks lost Anthony Davis (leg) during the first quarter, impacting Washington’s role and value. While he’s ranked well outside the top-150 in nine-cat formats, that’s due to an average of 3.0 turnovers per game.

After struggling mightily in Monday’s loss to the Thunder, Flagg was considerably better against the Pacers. Not only did he shoot over 50 percent from the field, but the first overall pick also recorded his second double-double. All that was missing from Flagg’s final stat line was a steal, and he did not attempt a three-pointer after going 0-of-3 on Monday. If Anthony Davis (leg) misses time after exiting Wednesday’s game during the first quarter, the Mavericks may put even more on Flagg’s plate offensively.

This one was a low-scoring slugfest as both teams struggled to get anything going offensively. The reigning MVP knocked down just one three-pointer as Oklahoma City shot 20 percent (6-of-30) from distance in an ugly win. Perhaps the most incredible statistical nugget from this one is that Gilgeous-Alexander only went to the line once in the contest.
