P.J. Washington (elbow) and Naji Marshall (hip) are questionable for Sunday’s game against the Bulls.

Washington and Marshall are poised to finish the 2025-26 season on the bench, as both players are doubtful for Sunday’s finale. The former has missed the Mavericks’ last three games, and the latter the last two. John Poulakidis and Tyler Smith have played rotation minutes in recent games, with the former logging 30 minutes in Friday’s loss to the Spurs.

Caleb Martin (foot) and Brandon Williams (illness) are doubtful for Sunday’s game against the Bulls.

Martin and Williams are on track to remain sidelined for the Mavericks’ regular-season finale. While the latter has missed the last three games, the former has not played since March 15. Ryan Nembhard started and logged 31 minutes in Friday’s loss to the Spurs, while AJ Johnson played 20 off the bench. Expect a similar approach on Sunday.

Daniel Gafford (rest) and Marvin Bagley III (shoulder) are doubtful for Sunday’s game against the Bulls.

Sunday’s game won’t impact anything beyond draft lottery odds, so the Mavericks are likely to put out a rotation that lacks most of the team’s proven players. With Gafford and Bagley considered doubtful for the regular season finale, Moussa Cissé should play plenty with veteran Dwight Powell also available to log rotation minutes at the five.

Jett Howard (ankle) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Celtics.

Injured during an April 3 win over the Mavericks, Howard has missed Orlando’s last four games. His availability does not significantly impact the team’s wing rotation now that Franz Wagner has returned from his ankle injury.

Jonathan Isaac (knee) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Celtics.

Isaac has not appeared in a game since spraining his left knee during a March 12 game against the Wizards. If he’s available for Sunday’s season finale, the veteran forward will give the Magic another option to work with in the frontcourt.

Dwight Powell provided a boost off the bench with four points (2-of-4 FGs), 11 rebounds, five assists, two steals and one block against the Spurs.

With Daniel Gafford (rest) out and Marvin Bagley (shoulder) exiting early, Powell ended up playing 24 minutes off the bench and contributing a well-rounded stat line. Moussa Cisse ended up playing 19 minutes and contributed seven points, eight rebounds, two steals and three blocks. The pair were able to provide strong minutes down low, and if Gafford and Bagley remain out for the season finale on Sunday, Powell and Cisse should fill the center minutes once again.

Cooper Flagg led the Mavericks with 33 points (13-of-25 FGs), six rebounds, five assists and three three-pointers in a 139-120 loss to the Spurs on Friday.

Flagg struggled in Wednesday’s loss to Phoenix, but he was able to get back on track in this game. Though they were on the wrong side of the scoreboard once again, Flagg was able to have another monster scoring performance to help strengthen his Rookie of the Year campaign. Flagg has been a fantasy star in his first season in the league, and he’ll continue to be one of the best players in fantasy basketball for the next 15 years. Whether or not he wins Rookie of the Year isn’t going to change that. He should be considered one of the most valuable players in dynasty leagues.

Paolo Banchero had 14 points (5-of-10 FGs, 3-of-6 FTs), nine rebounds, seven assists, two steals and one three-pointer in Friday’s win over the Bulls.

Banchero could’ve probably had a triple-double if he played a few more minutes. Nevertheless, the 23-year-old power forward led the Magic to victory over the Bulls as he was +21 in 27 minutes. He had 14 points on 10 attempts from the field, nine rebounds and seven assists. Banchero and the Magic didn’t have the year they’d hoped for this season, leading to him providing 11th-round per game value.

Franz Wagner had 25 points (8-of-13 FGs, 6-of-9 FTs), two rebounds, four assists and three three-pointers in the Magic’s 127-103 victory over the Bulls on Friday.

Wagner played only 23 minutes, but was very efficient with 25 points on 13 attempts from the field. Injuries limited the 24-year-old small forward to just 33 games this season, so it’s certainly a positive to see him finishing out the season healthy and productive. Orlando will close out the regular season on Sunday against Boston.

Marvin Bagley III (shoulder) won’t return to Friday’s game against the Spurs.

Bagley was dealing with a shoulder injury coming into the game and seemed to re-aggravate it in the first half of Friday’s game against the Spurs. He was quickly ruled out. Dwight Powell and Moussa Cisse should handle the center minutes for the rest of the game.

Marvin Bagley III (shoulder) is questionable to return to Friday’s game against the Spurs.

Bagley has been managing a shoulder injury recently, but he tried to play through it for this game. However, there is a chance his night is over after just eight minutes. If that’s the case, Dwight Powell and Moussa Cisse will fill the center minutes for the rest of this game.

Klay Thompson (illness) has been ruled out against the Spurs on Friday.

Thompson wasn’t initially on the injury report, but he will now be unavailable off the bench for a second straight game. AJ Johnson took on extra minutes off the bench on Wednesday and should again in this one, though he didn’t provide much value in a larger role.

Cooper Flagg (wrist) is available for Friday’s game against the Spurs.

Flagg is dealing with a sprained left wrist. The 19-year-old forward was initially listed as probable, so his availability isn’t much of a surprise. Flagg has two more games to make his case for what should be a very close Rookie of the Year vote with the Hornets’ Kon Knueppel.

Marvin Bagley III (shoulder) and Dwight Powell (hip) are questionable for Friday’s matchup with the Spurs.

Daniel Gafford and P.J. Washington are both doubtful, so if Bagley III and Powell end up sitting, Moussa Cisse could be in line for a big role in Dallas’ shorthanded frontcourt.

Klay Thompson (rest) is not on the injury report for Friday’s game against the Spurs.

Thompson will return to action on Friday after sitting out Wednesday’s loss to the Suns. His return may result in fewer minutes for AJ Johnson, who played 17 minutes on Wednesday but struggled.

Brandon Williams (illness) is doubtful for Friday’s game against the Spurs.

Williams missed both games of Dallas’ back-to-back, most recently sitting out Wednesday’s loss to the Suns. AJ Johnson played 17 minutes off the bench in Phoenix but shot 1-of-11 from the field. There isn’t much to gain from streaming him in active fantasy leagues.

P.J. Washington (elbow) is doubtful for Friday’s game against the Spurs.

Washington has missed the Mavericks’ last two games, and he’s on track to miss a third on Friday. While Khris Middleton started Wednesday’s loss to the Suns, he only played 18 minutes. Don’t expect much production from the veteran forward on Friday.

Caleb Martin (foot) is doubtful for Friday’s game against the Spurs.

Martin has not appeared in a game since March 15, and that’s unlikely to change on Friday. Tyler Smith has played rotation minutes recently, but he has not been productive enough to merit rostering in any active fantasy leagues.

Naji Marshall (hip) is doubtful for Friday’s game against the Spurs.

Marshall is on track to miss a second consecutive game as he deals with a hip contusion. While Ryan Nembhard moved into the starting lineup, John Poulakidis scored a career-high 23 points off the bench. For managers in active fantasy leagues needing scoring, Poulakidis will be worth a look.

Daniel Gafford (rest) is doubtful for Friday’s game against the Spurs.

Gafford has missed the Mavericks’ last two games, and he’s likely to miss a third on Friday. The good news is that the reason is rest, not the right shoulder injury he suffered during Sunday’s win over the Lakers. Marvin Bagley III should remain in the starting lineup, making him an appealing option for those in active fantasy leagues.

Cooper Flagg (wrist) is probable for Friday’s game against the Spurs.

Flagg suffered a sprained left wrist recently, but the probable tag suggests that he will play on Friday. And with the Rookie of the Year race between himself and Charlotte’s Kon Knueppel believed to be extremely close, Flagg will likely do all that he can to play in the Mavericks’ final two games.

Jett Howard (ankle) is out for Friday’s game against the Bulls.

Howard will miss a fourth consecutive game on Friday as he deals with a sprained left ankle. His continued absence will not significantly impact the Magic rotation.

John Poulakidas finished Wednesday’s loss to the Suns with 23 points (8-of-12 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), one rebound, one assist, one block and five three-pointers.

Poulakidas had the best game of his young NBA career on Wednesday. In just his 11th appearance, the rookie led all players in made three-pointers on the night, which helped him reach the 20-point mark as a scorer for the first time in his career. Poulakidas’s role could be reduced if the Mavericks’ injured wings return before the season ends. If not, he will likely get more opportunities to close the regular season strong.

Marvin Bagley III totaled 20 points (8-of-11 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), eight rebounds, two assists, one block and three three-pointers in the loss to the Suns on Wednesday.

Bagley made the start on Wednesday, replacing veteran center Dwight Powell in the opening unit. As a result, Bagley was one of the only two Mavericks players to score 20 or more points, doing so on very efficient shooting and a few three-pointers. The former second-overall pick has played well this season for the Mavericks and has now tallied 20 or more points in three of the last four games. He’s found a nice rhythm to end the season.

Cooper Flagg totaled 11 points (4-of-19 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), 12 rebounds, six assists, one steal and one block in the loss to the Suns on Wednesday.

Flagg logged one of his worst scoring games of the season on Wednesday. He shot the ball poorly and failed to make a three-pointer, while only getting three points from the charity stripe. Yet the rookie forward didn’t let his scoring struggles stop him from contributing in other areas. He was the only Mavericks player to collect double-digit rebounds, and his six assists were among the best on the team. Flagg will have a chance to close his rookie season on a higher note, as Dallas will play against San Antonio on Friday and Chicago on Sunday.

Cooper Flagg, Ryan Nembhard, Khris Middleton, Max Christie and Marvin Bagley III will start on Wednesday against the Suns.

The Mavs will roll out a different starting unit on Wednesday’s second game of a back-to-back. With Naji Marshall injured, Nembhard steps into a starting role to provide Dallas with additional ball-handling and playmaking, while Bagley takes over the starting center spot. The Mavs will miss the playoffs for a second consecutive season, but should come away from the 2025-26 campaign happy with how their first-overall pick, Cooper Flagg, has performed during his rookie season.

Desmond Bane accounted for 18 points (7-of-13 FGs, 3-of-3 FTs), three rebounds, six assists, one steal, one block and one three-pointer in Wednesday’s win over the Timberwolves.

After scoring 25 points or more in three consecutive games, Bane was limited to 18 on Wednesday. However, he shot the ball efficiently and tied for the team lead in assists as part of a complete stat line. Bane has played consistently well recently, which is precisely what he and the Magic wanted heading into the postseason.

Franz Wagner (knee) tallied 17 points (7-of-13 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), two assists, one block and one three-pointer in Wednesday’s win over the Timberwolves.

Wagner shot the ball well on Wednesday, but of greater concern for him and the Magic was his third-quarter left knee injury. The good news is that Franz returned to action later in the quarter, finishing with 22 minutes played. However, given the amount of time he missed due to the high left ankle sprain suffered in early December, the last thing the Magic needed was to see Wagner injured again. It would be unsurprising if his minutes remained limited for the final two games of the regular season.

Paolo Banchero finished Wednesday’s win over the Timberwolves with 20 points (8-of-11 FGs, 3-of-5 FTs), eight rebounds, six assists, one steal and one three-pointer.

Banchero led seven Magic players in double figures on Wednesday, with the victory moving Orlando to within a game of Toronto in the loss column for sixth place in the East. The top six teams avoid the Play-In Tournament, which could be critical for the Magic given the recent returns from injury for Franz Wagner and Anthony Black. Orlando has two more games to play in the regular season, starting with the Bulls on Friday.

Caleb Martin (foot) is out for Wednesday’s game against the Suns.

Martin remains out for another game, which frees up minutes for players like Tyler Smith. Smith is unlikely to do enough to provide reliable value in active fantasy leagues.

P.J. Washington (elbow) will miss Wednesday’s game against the Suns.

Washington will miss a second straight game as he continues to deal with an elbow injury. The versatile forward has put up stats similar to last season, although his three-point shooting efficiency has regressed. In his absence, veteran Khris Middleton could receive another start.

Klay Thompson (rest) is out for Wednesday’s game against the Suns.

Thompson will get Wednesday night off after playing 26 minutes in Tuesday’s loss to the Clippers. Khris Middleton is available, and there may also be more minutes available to AJ Johnson off the bench.

Naji Marshall (hip) is out for Wednesday’s game against the Suns.

Marshall, who fell hard on his hip during Tuesday’s loss to the Clippers, will join the long list of Mavericks sidelined for Wednesday’s game. John Poulakidis should once again play rotation minutes off the bench, and Ryan Nembhard could move into the starting five.

Daniel Gafford (shoulder) will miss Wednesday’s game against the Suns.

Gafford will miss his second game in as many days, as the Mavericks gear up for the second game of a back-to-back on Wednesday. Gafford has dealt with injuries all season long, appearing in only 55 games this season. His absence should lead to more minutes for Marvin Bagley III.

Jalen Suggs, Desmond Bane, Franz Wagner, Paolo Banchero and Wendell Carter Jr. will start Wednesday’s game against the Timberwolves.

Wagner is back after sitting out Monday’s win over the Pistons. His return means that Tristan da Silva will come off the bench.

Wendell Carter Jr. (nose) and Jamal Cain (calf) are available for Wednesday’s game against the Timberwolves.

Carter and Cain are good to go after being listed as questionable on the initial injury report. The former will take on his usual duties as the starting center, while the latter may pick up some rotation minutes off the bench.

Daniel Gafford (shoulder) is doubtful for Wednesday’s matchup with the Suns.

Gafford will miss a second straight game after sustaining a shoulder injury on Sunday, and Marvin Bagley should get the start in his absence. Moussa Cisse could provide some useful minutes off the bench.

Klay Thompson (rest) and Caleb Martin (foot) are doubtful for Wednesday’s matchup with the Suns.

The Mavericks’ injury list for the second leg of their back-to-back set is quite extensive, and with Brandon Williams (illness) also doubtful, Dallas could turn to Max Christie, Khris Middleton and John Poulakidas. Cooper Flagg should shoulder a heavy offensive workload.

P.J. Washington (elbow) and Naji Marshall (hip) are doubtful for Wednesday’s matchup with the Suns.

Dallas will be missing a number of key players, which should pave the way for Khris Middleton to see more playing time. Dallas could also give more minutes to Tyler Smith and John Poulakidas.

Cooper Flagg had 25 points (9-of-25 FGs, 6-of-6 FTs), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and one three-pointer in Tuesday’s loss to the Clippers.

Flagg was coming off scoring 45 and 51 points in his last two games, respectively. The 19-year-old small forward was highly efficient in those games, unlike Tuesday when he had 25 points on 25 attempts from the field. Flagg has provided fourth-round per game value in his potentially Rookie of the Year campaign and he’s only going to get better from here.

Cain, who suffered a left calf contusion during Monday’s win over the Pistons, played 11 minutes off the bench before exiting. His absence would not significantly impact fantasy basketball, as Franz Wagner and Tristan da Silva are available.

Jett Howard (ankle) is out for Wednesday’s game against the Timberwolves.

Wednesday’s game will be the third that Howard has missed with a sprained left ankle. Franz Wagner and Tristan da Silva are available, so the Magic will have the depth needed to account for Howard’s continued absence.

Franz Wagner (ankle) is off the injury report for Wednesday’s game against the Timberwolves.

Wagner did not play in Monday’s win over the Pistons, as it was Orlando’s second game in as many days. His return will push Tristan da Silva to the bench.

Wendell Carter Jr. (nose) is questionable for Wednesday’s game against the Timberwolves.

Carter suffered a fractured nose during Monday’s win over the Pistons, with the injury limiting him to 18 minutes. If he can’t play on Wednesday, Goga Bitadze is the likely replacement in the starting five.

Jalen Suggs recorded a double-double on Monday with 12 points (4-of-9 FGs), six rebounds, 12 assists, three steals, one block and two three-pointers against the Pistons.

Suggs has been a fantasy stud when healthy all season, but he has added a new element to his game recently. This was his fourth straight game with at least eight assists, and he set a new career high for dimes in this one. Of course, he still contribute value across the board, just as he has all season. Utilizing Suggs as a playmaker just makes Orlando even more dangerous entering the postseason. He’s currently averaging career highs in assists and steals, and he’ll continue to stuff the stat sheet as the regular season comes to a close.

Desmond Bane lit up the Pistons with 25 points (9-of-17 FGs), three rebounds, one assist, two steals, three blocks and four three-pointers on Monday.

Bane has been on fire during Orlando’s three-game win streak, averaging 26.3 points, 2.0 steals, 1.3 blocks and 3.3 triples per game. His first season in Orlando go off to a shaky start, but he has been a fantasy stud during the second half of the season, which has helped the Magic stay afloat despite numerous injuries. With three games left until the postseason, Bane’s continued hot shooting will be pivotal to Orlando’s chances of avoiding the play-in tournament.

Paolo Banchero led the Magic with 31 points (10-of-16 FGs, 10-of-10 FTs), five rebounds, three assists, three steals and one three-pointer in a 123-107 win over the Pistons on Monday.

This type of performance from Banchero was great to see. He was incredibly efficient, which led to Orlando’s third straight win. He had a double-double on Sunday, but before that, he had a four-game stretch where he averaged just 12.3 points. This is the type of player they’ll need him to be if they want to make any noise in the postseason. Banchero has improved as a free throw shooter this season, which was on full display in this game. He still has holes in his fantasy game, but he’s certainly capable of filling up the box score.

Anthony Black returned to the lineup on Monday and finished with 14 points (4-of-11 FGs), one rebound, two assists, two steals and one three-pointer against the Pistons.

In his first game since March 7, Black was limited to just 15 minutes off the bench. He had no problem being aggressive on offense with 11 shot attempts and seven free throw attempts during his time on the floor. Black would have been a candidate to win the Most Improved Player award if he hadn’t missed so many games over the past month. Still, he’ll be a pivotal piece for Orlando entering the postseason now that they’re the healthiest they’ve been since the beginning of the season.

Wendell Carter Jr. (neck) is doubtful to return to Monday’s game against the Pistons.

Carter has been listed as doubtful to return with about six minutes left in this game. Goga Bitadze is in the game to close things out, though Moritz Wagner may also see an uptick in minutes if Carter ends up missing more time beyond this.

Jamal Cain (calf) is doubtful to return to Monday’s game against the Pistons.

Cain isn’t expected to return to this game after suffering a left calf contusion. He contributed three points, two rebounds and one assist in 11 minutes. If Cain is forced to miss time moving forward, his minutes will likely be split between Franz Wagner, Anthony Black and Tristan da Silva.

Jalen Suggs, Desmond Bane, Tristan da Silva, Paolo Banchero and Wendell Carter Jr. will start against the Pistons on Monday.

With Franz Wagner (ankle) sitting out the second leg of this back-to-back, da Silva will return to the starting unit for one game. He has been productive as a starter this year and should continue to produce in a larger role in this game.

Anthony Black (core) is available to play against the Pistons on Monday.

Black was ruled out for this game at first but was upgraded to questionable earlier in the day and has now officially been cleared to suit up. He’ll likely play a limited role off the bench, which will prevent him from making much of an impact on the box score. However, it is good news for Orlando with the postseason starting next week, with this being the healthiest they’ve been in a while. Jevon Carter will likely play a smaller role with Black back.

Anthony Black (core) is now probable for Monday’s game against the Pistons.

After missing Orlando’s last 16 games with a left lateral abdominal strain, Black is on track to return on Monday. If he does play, that would mean fewer minutes for Jevon Carter. That said, managers in active fantasy leagues should anticipate Black’s minutes being limited.

Anthony Black (core) is questionable for Monday’s game against the Pistons.

Initially ruled out for a 17th consecutive game, Black is now questionable to play on Monday. If available, his playing time is likely to be limited, as the Magic guard has been out for a month.

Jett Howard (ankle) is out for Monday’s game against the Pistons.

Howard will miss a second consecutive game as he deals with a sprained left ankle. Jamal Cain played 28 minutes off the bench in Sunday’s win over the Pelicans and should take on a similar workload on Monday.

Anthony Black (core) is out for Monday’s game against the Pistons.

Black has not appeared in a game since March 7, and he’s running out of opportunities to get in some game time before the postseason. Jevon Carter has played rotation minutes off the bench and should continue to do so while Orlando awaits Black’s return.

Franz Wagner (ankle) is out for Monday’s game against the Pistons.

Monday’s game is Orlando’s second in as many nights, so Wagner’s sitting is not a major surprise. His absence means a return to the starting lineup for Tristan da Silva, who is worth rostering in active fantasy leagues.

Paolo Banchero amassed 23 points (6-of-14 FGs, 11-of-15 FTs), 16 rebounds, six assists, two steals and one blocked shot in Sunday’s win over the Pelicans.

After scoring 30 points in a March 26 win over the Kings, Banchero averaged 12.3 points on 34.0 percent shooting in the next four games. He snapped out of that funk nicely on Sunday, recording a double-double as part of a complete stat line. Recording his 25th double-double, Banchero matched his season-high with 16 rebounds.

Desmond Bane finished Sunday’s win over the Pelicans with 27 points (8-of-19 FGs, 8-of-11 FTs), six rebounds, four assists, one steal, one block and three three-pointers.

For the first time in three weeks, Bane has recorded consecutive 20-point games. The Magic guard, who shot 3-of-8 from beyond the arc, recorded a complete stat line in 34 minutes. Bane’s final two games of Week 23 were certainly useful to fantasy managers. For those competing in leagues that run through Week 24, the Magic play four games, starting with the Pistons on Monday.

Jett Howard (ankle) is out for Sunday’s game against the Pelicans.

A late addition to Orlando’s injury report, Howard will not play on Sunday due to a sprained left ankle. His absence leaves the Magic with one less option on the wings, but it does not affect fantasy basketball.
