Williams is officially available after the Mavericks listed him as questionable on the initial injury report. He’ll handle the starting point guard duties, with D’Angelo Russell serving as the primary backup. Ryan Nembhard (knee) is also available, but the rookie is unlikely to get the run needed to merit being rostered in redraft leagues.

Nembhard is available after a five-game absence with a sprained left knee. D’Angelo Russell (illness) is also available, so the rookie guard is unlikely to get the opportunities needed to impact fantasy basketball. However, Nembhard could crack the rotation if Brandon Williams (back) can’t go. Dallas’ starting point guard is a game-time decision.

Monday’s absence will mark the 14th straight missed game for Davis, as he continues to work his way back from a calf injury. The Mavericks have posted a 3-10 record since the injury and continue to have poor health luck to begin the season. Naji Marshall and P.J. Washington are two forwards who could continue to see increased opportunities with Davis out of the lineup. According to Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd, there’s hope that Davis will be able to practice on Wednesday.

Sharpe is set to miss his third game in a row with a strained right calf. The 22-year-old shooting guard is without a clear timetable to return at this point. Sidy Cissoko has started the last two games in Sharpe’s absence and figures to get another start Monday against the Bucks.

There weren’t a ton of bright spots for Portland in this one but Grant did his best to keep them within shouting distance by knocking down five of six shots, including three from downtown, to score 16 points in the opening half. The Trail Blazers close out a back-to-back on Monday night with a road tilt against the Bucks before facing the Spurs and Thunder again to finish off a three-game week.

Nembhard has missed Dallas’s last five games with a sprained left knee. His absence has not affected fantasy basketball, as rotation minutes have not been guaranteed for the rookie guard. Nembhard has appeared in five games this season with a high of 16 minutes.

Williams is dealing with lower back tightness, which is why he appears on the injury report. D’Angelo Russell (illness) is available, so he can absorb some of the minutes that would usually go to Williams if he cannot play. In this scenario, D’Lo would be worth picking up in deep leagues.

Russell sat out Saturday’s loss to the Grizzlies, with his playing time divvied up among multiple reserves due to Jaden Hardy struggling in his 12 minutes on the floor. Hardy will likely fall out of the rotation entirely on Monday, unless starting guard Brandon Williams can’t play. He’s questionable due to lower back tightness.

Davis is expected to be re-evaluated early this upcoming week, so a return could occur soon. However, that isn’t guaranteed. The doubtful tag for Monday suggests he won’t be available to play against the Heat. With Davis out, P.J. Washington and Naji Marshall are worth a look in deeper fantasy leagues and some standard leagues as well.

The Trail Blazers will be without Williams, who will sit due to left knee injury management.

Washington appeared to tweak something in his lower back on a shot attempt with just under five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter of Saturday’s game, immediately heading back to the locker room after exiting. The good news is that he was back on the bench for the finish. With Anthony Davis (calf) essentially out indefinitely, Washington has added value, even if his game isn’t exactly “fantasy-friendly.” Hopefully, his name won’t show up on the injury report for Monday’s game against the Heat.

With D’Angelo Russell (illness) ruled out, Williams surpassed the 30-minute mark for the first time in five games. He had a good night, shooting over 50 percent from the field and recording everything but a blocked shot in the 102-96 defeat. Rostered in 18 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Williams is ranked just outside the top-100 in eight-cat formats. He doesn’t have the highest ceiling, but Williams is worth a roll of the dice as long as he continues to start. Dallas plays three games in Week 6, beginning with the Heat on Monday.

Things got a bit heated during and after Saturday’s game, but that may have done Thompson some good. He recorded his first 20-point game of the season against the Grizzlies and hit a season-high six three-pointers. Thompson didn’t provide value in any other categories, a reminder that he doesn’t offer much in fantasy basketball beyond being a specialist at this stage in his career. The ceiling is slightly higher due to Dallas’ many injuries, but Klay should not be rostered in most leagues.

Russell has been downgraded from questionable to out, leaving the Mavericks light on options at point guard. Brandon Williams’ status as the starter is unchanged, but there will be more minutes available to Jaden Hardy. Hardy is not worth the streaming risk, even with the increased playing time.

With the Trail Blazers playing games on Sunday and Monday, Williams is likely to miss one for injury management reasons. Which game he misses likely depends on starter Donovan Clingan, who is also questionable for Sunday’s game with a sprained ankle. If Clingan plays, don’t be surprised if the Time Lord does not.

Clingan tweaked his left ankle during the first half of Friday’s win over the Warriors.

Who starts if Clingan can’t play depends on Williams. If the Time Lord is available, he’ll be the starter.

Sharpe will miss a second straight game with a strained right calf. While the Trail Blazers have not provided an exact return timeline for the guard, fantasy managers should plan for the possibility that Sharpe will remain out for a bit. Sidy Cissoko started Friday’s win over the Warriors, with him and Caleb Love providing excellent contributions. Look for them to take on similar roles on Sunday.

Less than a week after Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd said he hoped the rookie would only be out for two to three weeks, Nembhard is doubtful for Saturday night.

Russell missed Friday’s win over the Pelicans with an illness. Jaden Hardy had 11 points in 14 minutes off the bench and could get even more of an opportunity against the Grizzlies on Saturday if Russell were to be out again. Hardy still isn’t worth the risk to stream just yet.

Lively had four points in 18 minutes in the Mavericks’ win over the Pelicans on Friday night. The 21-year-old center is going to miss the second game of a back-to-back against the Grizzlies on Saturday for injury management reasons. Daniel Gafford will start at center with Lively out.

This wound up being a thrilling showdown between the next generation of up-and-coming stars for a pair of cellar-dwelling Western Conference squads with Flagg serving as the Mavericks’ primary offensive catalyst throughout the night. The 18-year-old prodigy showed zero signs of rust following a one-game absence due to illness earlier this week, knocking down 12 of 15 shots from inside three-point range, while routinely getting into the paint to take advantage of his size, athleticism and shot-creating ability. He was especially clutch in the late stages of this one, scoring 21 of his points in the second-half. He’s in the midst of an extremely strong stretch, averaging just under 22 points per-game over his last three contests, delivering fourth-round value for fantasy purposes during that span.

With less than one week until Thanksgiving, Washington set the table early with a stat sheet-stuffing performance for fantasy managers as he drained five three-pointers and gobbled up nine rebounds, falling just shy of his third double-double of the season. The 27-year-old sharpshooter did most of his damage in the early stages of this one as he notched 14 points in the first half, but he managed to come up with a clutch rebound in the final seconds to deny the Pelicans any opportunity to hoist a potential game-tying shot at the buzzer.

Christie knocked down five of nine shots, including three from downtown, as part of a 17-point second-half eruption to power Dallas to a comeback win. He drained a pair of free throws in the closing seconds to give the Mavericks a three-point advantage which they didn’t relinquish. The 22-year-old guard is averaging a career-high 5.8 three-point attempts through 17 games, shooting an absurdly high 46.9 percent so far. There’s some regression looming, but he’s going to have plenty of opportunities for the injury-depleted Mavericks in the coming months.

Those big moments that Love came up big in as a collegian at North Carolina and Arizona may have helped him on Friday. The rookie guard had the best night of his NBA career, which included him hitting multiple three-pointers in crunch time. Love’s stat line only lacked a blocked shot, and he may become a factor in deep leagues due to the absences of Jrue Holiday and Scoot Henderson. They’ll be out multiple weeks, with Holiday closer to a return based on the timelines provided by the Trail Blazers on Friday.

Not only did Clingan record his fourth double-double of the season on Friday, but he also finished with his first 20-point game. Portland dominated the boards in San Francisco, with the center tandem of Clingan and Robert Williams III making the difference. The “Time Lord” played 20 minutes off the bench, finishing with an 8/11/2/0/3 stat line, and he was on the court in crunch time. Clingan is providing fourth-round value in nine-cat formats, three rounds higher than his Yahoo! ADP. Regardless of which center closes games, he’s the preferred option for fantasy basketball.

While the Trail Blazers navigate their schedule without multiple rotation players, Avdija continues to flourish. He finished Friday’s victory with his fifth double-double of the season, and the 13 assists were a career-high. With Jrue Holiday (calf) set to be re-evaluated in one to two weeks, and Scoot Henderson (hamstring) in two to four, it will be Avdija running the show for the Trail Blazers. That raises his fantasy ceiling, which was already high, considerably.

Camara notched his first 20-point game of the season on Friday and was one of four Trail Blazers to score at least that many points. Interestingly, he did not provide any defensive stats against the Warriors, making it the third time this season he’s completed a game without a steal or a blocked shot. While he’s still rostered in 42 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Camara remains ranked well outside the top-100 in eight- and nine-cat formats. That said, holding onto him with Jrue Holiday and Scoot Henderson out for multiple weeks isn’t a bad idea.

Grant was initially probable for Friday’s game, and his availability takes on added importance with Jrue Holiday (calf) set to miss at least another one to two weeks.

Holiday was initially listed as questionable for Friday’s game against the Warriors, but he won’t be available after missing the last two games with a right calf strain. The 35-year-old guard is set to miss at least the next 1-2 weeks after the latest update from the team. With Shaedon Sharpe (calf) also out, the Trail Blazers will be significantly shorthanded. Jerami Grant, Kris Murray and Deni Avdija all stand to see increased usage and minutes.

Henderson has yet to appear in a game this season, as he suffered a torn left hamstring during an individual workout before the start of training camp. As recently as Tuesday, he told The Athletic that he still wasn’t doing much movement. Henderson has been limited to stationary shooting and some ball-handling drills, so it’s crucial to keep in mind that the two-to-four-week timeframe is for a re-evaluation of the injury. With Jrue Holiday (calf) out at least one to two weeks, expect to see plenty of Deni Avdija on the ball. Caleb Love should continue to play rotation minutes off the bench, and he’s worth tracking in deep leagues.

Clingan was dominant on the glass against the Bulls, recording a career-high rebound total. Even better for fantasy managers was that the second-year center recorded a complete stat line with solid percentages. So far, Clingan has exceeded his Yahoo! ADP (84) in eight- and nine-cat formats, closing in on the top-50 in the latter. With Robert Williams’ availability still being an issue and rookie Yang Hansen not ready to contribute consistently, Clingan’s value will increase if he’s able to play 30 minutes or more. Wednesday’s game was the second this season in which he logged at least 30 minutes.

After enjoying an excellent first season in Portland, Avdija has been elite to begin his second campaign in Rip City. He finished Wednesday’s crushing defeat with his first triple-double of the season and third of his career, all of which were recorded since Deni was traded to Portland. No Jrue Holiday or Shaedon Sharpe on the court meant more was expected of Avdija, and he was up to the task. He’s rostered in 99 percent of Yahoo! leagues, so he won’t be found on many waiver wires. The question now is whether fantasy managers should sell high or ride the wave.

Back in the starting lineup after sitting out Tuesday’s loss to the Suns, Grant enjoyed his best offensive outing of the season. However, the season-high 33 points were the only highlight. Grant also provided solid value in the rebound and assist categories, a good sign for a player whose production in those categories has been deficient in prior seasons. He’s still providing top-100 value in eight- and nine-cat formats and can benefit from Shaedon Sharpe’s absence if the guard remains sidelined.

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.
