Lively will miss a fourth straight game with a sprained right knee, and he does not have a clearly-defined timeline for his return. Daniel Gafford should start after returning to action on Saturday, but his minutes may be limited for injury management reasons. If so, Dwight Powell will remain in the rotation as the backup center.

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. With Cooper Flagg acting as the starting point guard and Brandon Williams also playing rotation minutes off the bench, Russell offers limited fantasy upside at best.

Poeltl is set to miss his third consecutive game with a lower back issue he’s battled since the preseason. The 30-year-old center didn’t travel with the team on a recent road trip for treatment reasons, but still isn’t ready to play. Collin Murray-Boyles and Sandro Mamukelashvii will handle the center duties in Poeltl’s absence and both are worth streaming.

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.

Ingram has now scored at least 20 points in four of the last five games. The 28-year-old small forward is poised for a big fantasy season with the Raptors, where he’s essentially atop the team’s hierarchy along with Scottie Barnes and RJ Barrett. Ingram’s had at least four assists in three consecutive games as well. The Raptors finish the week against the Grizzlies on Sunday.

Barnes failed to reach at least 20 points for the second time in his last three games. The 24-year-old small forward went just 1-of-4 from behind the three-point line after an 11-of-20 start from downtown to begin the year. Barnes’ usage continues to be solid alongside Brandon Ingram and RJ Barrett and with that better production should eventually follow.

Russell suffered a left knee contusion during Wednesday’s win over the Pacers, logging 20 minutes off the bench.

Saturday’s game will be Lively’s third missed due to a sprained right knee. The Mavericks will also be without Anthony Davis, who is recovering from a strained calf. Dwight Powell is healthy and will figure prominently in the frontcourt rotation, while Daniel Gafford (ankle) is questionable.

With Gafford being considered questionable for Saturday’s game, that’s a step in the right direction for a player who’s been listed as doubtful for being ruled out of recent contests. The Mavericks will be without Anthony Davis (calf) and Dereck Lively II (knee), so they can use Gafford in any capacity. If Gafford can’t play, Dwight Powell’s minutes will increase, and the Mavericks will have to go small when Powell isn’t on the floor.

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.

AD left Wednesday’s win over the Pacers early due to left leg soreness, and the injury will likely cost him at least one game. P.J. Washington is the most likely beneficiary of Davis’ absence from a fantasy perspective, and he should be picked up wherever available. Washington is rostered in only 41% of Yahoo! leagues and should be a popular streaming option on Saturday.

Poeltl has been dealing with a lower back issue since the preseason, and he did not play in Wednesday’s loss to the Rockets. He’ll miss a second straight game on Friday, remaining in Toronto for treatment reasons. The hope is that Poeltl will be available for Sunday’s game against the Grizzlies. Collin Murray-Boyles started against Houston, with Sandro Mamukelashvili as his primary backup. Both are worth streaming, with CMB offering a higher long-term fantasy upside.

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.

Williams rejoined the Mavericks after missing two games for personal reasons and stepped up with his best performance of the season. He notched his fifth career 20-point game while chipping in on the boards with seven rebounds. 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. Williams isn’t at the point where he needs to be rostered in fantasy, but Wednesday was a good night.

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. Washington, rostered in 41 percent of Yahoo! leagues, will be worth a look in standard leagues if Davis joins Lively and Gafford on the sideline.

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.

Davis played seven first-quarter minutes before exiting with a sore lower left leg. It’s unknown if this issue is connected to the bilateral Achilles tendinopathy he’s been dealing with, but the problem is severe enough to sideline AD for the rest of the night. Dwight Powell started the third quarter, but is only worth adding if Davis, Dereck Lively and Daniel Gafford are out for an extended period of time.

While the Raptors certainly have their issues, Ingram wasn’t one of them against the Rockets on Wednesday. The 28-year-old small forward had no trouble scoring on one of the league’s best defensive guards in Amen Thompson. Ingram has now scored at least 22 points in three of five games so far this year. As long as he’s healthy, Ingram is going to have fantasy success with Toronto.

Barnes’ 31 points tied Kevin Durant for the game-high. The 24-year-old small forward’s improved three-point shooting is the story so far this year. Barnes shot just 27.1 percent from behind the three-point line last year, but is 11-of-20 from long distance to begin the season. It’s an excellent development for Barnes and his fantasy managers if this is more than just a hot streak.

Davis, who has been dealing with bilateral Achilles tendinopathy, exited Wednesday’s game during the first quarter due to lower left leg soreness.

Barrett has gotten off to a dominant start to this season. Through four games, he’s averaging 21.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.5 three-pointers per game while shooting 61.8 percent from the floor. Knowing his career-best field goal percentage in a season is 49.5 percent, and that was an outlier when compared to his other seasons, he’ll certainly cool off as the season progresses. Still, this has been a fantastic start for him, and he’ll look to keep it going against the Rockets on Wednesday.

CMB made his debut for the Raptors on Sunday and was held scoreless in 13 minutes. However, he was fantastic in his 24 minutes off the bench in this one. He showcased the defensive production that made him an enticing prospect, and he was able to knock down shots from beyond the arc, which was the main question mark for him. This was a really encouraging performance for him, and it won’t be long before he’s a standard-league producer in fantasy hoops.

Davis recorded his second straight double-double, but it simply wasn’t enough as Oklahoma City’s smothering defense limited Dallas to just 37 percent from the floor and only 94 points. They shot just 30 percent (12-of-39) from three-point range in the low-scoring affair.

Flagg got his welcome to the NBA moment against the defending champion Thunder as he missed eight of his nine shots from the floor and Dallas failed to break the century mark. The 18-year-old prodigy may not have a worse game over the remainder of his rookie season as his all-around game should enable him to contribute as a playmaker even when his shot isn’t falling. There will be brighter days ahead for Flagg — and his fantasy managers — as he continues to adjust to life in the NBA. He became the fifth-youngest player in league history to score 20 or more points when he poured in 22 during Sunday’s win over the Raptors. Flagg had a shoulder wrap on when he was on the bench throughout the night. He expects to get scans on his left shoulder, but he expects to be available against the Pacers on Wednesday.

Poeltl played 19 minutes, finishing with four points, eight rebounds, four assists and one steal. Given the time Poeltl missed during the preseason, the minutes may have been limited due to the Raptors taking on San Antonio on Monday.

Ja’Kobe Walter’s absence due to an illness freed up additional minutes for Toronto’s reserve wings, and Gradey took advantage. Interestingly, he attempted twice as many free throws (eight) as three-pointers (four), which rarely happened last season. Gradey averaged 6.0 three-point and 2.9 free-throw attempts per game last season and had just two games in which he attempted at least eight free throws. Due to those stats, nights like Wednesday may not become the norm for Gradey. However, the Raptors will benefit if he can remain as aggressive as he was against the Hawks.

While there may be some concerns that Toronto is a little too heavy on wing scorers, everyone worked well together against the Hawks, with the Raptors putting up 138 points. Ingram has top-50 fantasy value potential; his concern is availability. Therefore, BI playing 27 minutes without issue may be more important than his points and rebounds.

Rarely a positive fantasy asset during his NBA career, Barrett was excellent in Wednesday’s season opener. He shot 75 percent from the field, made all five of his free throws and provided solid value across the board.

If Barrett can build on this performance, the high ADP will be justified.
