Nurkić has missed Utah’s last two games, allowing Kevin Love to fill the void at center. Love would get another start if the 7-footer can’t play, but he may remain in the rotation regardless, given the opponent and his absence from the initial injury report.

Bailey has missed seven of Utah’s last eight games, resulting in Cody Williams getting a few opportunities to start. While Williams may remain in that role even if Bailey plays on Monday, he is not worth the risk in redraft leagues.

Markkanen did not play in Saturday’s loss to the Hornets, in which Utah suffered a historic 55-point beating. He’ll be back on the floor against the Cavaliers, pushing Taylor Hendricks to the bench.

Collier finished one assist shy of a double-double on Saturday, with his playing time receiving a bump due to Utah losing by a franchise-record 55 points. With Keyonte George (four points, two rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block in 23 minutes) having the best season of his brief NBA career, Collier’s fantasy upside is limited. However, he’s worth a look in deep leagues for managers needing assists.

Sensabaugh’s offensive performance was the lone bright spot for the Jazz in Saturday’s 150-95 defeat. Scoring isn’t an issue for the third-year wing, but he has offered minimal value outside of points and three-pointers. Over the past two weeks, Sensabaugh has an eight-cat value ranked outside the top-150. While playing time shouldn’t be an issue for him when the silly season rolls around, the category-league value will be limited.

Plus/minus is an imperfect stat, but Williams made the kind of history that no player wants on Saturday. His rating of minus-60 was the worst in league history (spanning 30 years of play-by-play data). He shot the ball relatively well, but the overall production wasn’t there for a player making his second consecutive start. Williams will have more opportunities between now and the end of the season, but he isn’t worth stashing for the “silly season.”

Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd was ejected from Saturday’s game six minutes in, and it’s fair to wonder how this may have affected Flagg. The rookie had a rough night in Chicago, committing five turnovers in his 28 minutes on the floor. The good news for fantasy managers is that Flagg has had more good nights than bad, so he should not have much difficulty bouncing back. Especially with three of Dallas’ four Week 13 games coming against Brooklyn and Utah (they play the Jazz twice).

Marshall’s final stat line was solid, even if it didn’t keep the Mavericks from being on the wrong side of a blowout loss. Unfortunately, his fantasy prospects have taken a hit recently, due to a lack of defensive production and poor foul shooting. The Mavericks’ injuries open the door for Marshall to provide greater fantasy value, so he is worth the risk in deeper leagues.

Nembhard was back in the starting lineup on Saturday, as the Mavericks were without P.J. Washington and Anthony Davis due to injury. The rookie point guard was productive, with the six assists being the most in a game for him since December 29. Nembhard’s opportunities were also boosted due to Brandon Williams being out, so fantasy managers will want to keep Saturday’s production in perspective. The Mavericks play four games in Week 13, starting with the Nets on Monday.

Lauri Markkanen is not available for Saturday’s game, opening up a spot in the starting lineup. Hendricks will fill the void in a move that raises his fantasy ceiling. Kyle Filipowski should still play rotation minutes, but coming off the bench does decrease his value.

The Mavericks won’t have P.J. Washington or Anthony Davis for Saturday’s game, which will return Nembhard to the starting lineup. Since Brandon Williams is also out, these changes should raise Nembhard’s fantasy ceiling.

Nurkić will miss a second straight game. Kevin Love started in his place on Thursday and would have some streaming appeal on a day with only six games if he starts again. Kyle Filipowski should also be in line for more minutes.

Markkanen is getting Saturday night off. His absence should lead to more minutes for some of Utah’s younger players, most notably Kyle Filipowski. Filipowski, who should be even more valuable during the “silly season,” is worth streaming where available.

Bailey was only able to play ten minutes in Wednesday’s loss to the Thunder, his first game back after missing five with a strained hip flexor. The rookie did not play on Thursday against Dallas, so Cody Williams played 22 minutes as a starter. Look for something similar on Saturday, and Williams is not worth streaming.

Due to an illness, Williams had to leave Thursday’s loss to the Jazz after playing nine minutes. His absence on Saturday should mean more minutes for Ryan Nembhard, who played 22 minutes against Utah. The rookie still has not returned to the point where he should be streamed in fantasy leagues, but that may change later in the season.

Davis injured his left hand during the fourth quarter of Thursday’s loss to the Jazz. According to Charania, a second opinion on the injury’s severity will be sought. If surgery is required, Davis could miss “a number of months.” With the Mavericks’ forward/center being the subject of trade rumors, an extended absence would likely put those to rest. As for Dallas’ approach to the rest of the season, losing Davis could affect Kyrie Irving’s return from the ACL tear he suffered last March. Dallas’s first-round pick in June’s draft is the last one that they’ll have complete control over until 2031, so the front office could decide that punting on the rest of this season is in the franchise’s best interest.

Calayton Jr. is enjoying a nice stretch to begin the new calendar year. Thursday’s solid performance gives him back-to-back games with double-digit points and four three-pointers. He logged north of 20 minutes in each of these games, which, notably, weren’t garbage-time minutes. The former national champion with the Florida Gators seems to be firmly in the nightly rotation at this point, with each productive performance likely helping him maintain his spot.

George had a relatively average game production-wise, finishing with fewer than 20 points for only the 12th time this season and less than two three-pointers for the 11th time. He was his usual productive self as a facilitator, leading Utah in assists for the game. And he was also active on defense, finishing as Utah’s leader in steals, ultimately helping his final line stand out a bit more. George has been stellar throughout his third NBA season and should continue to perform well moving forward.

Markkanen followed up his 29-point, 13-rebound double-double against OKC with another high-scoring performance against the Mavs. Inefficient three-point shooting and struggles from the free-throw line ultimately were the only things to slow his production. Markannen led all scorers and was the only player to take the floor and finish with multiple blocks. He’ll be back at it on Saturday against the Hornets.

Thompson needed just 13 shots to tie season-highs in points and three-pointers on Thursday. His production didn’t come in bunches; it was spread throughout the game, with at least five points in each quarter. Additionally, the four-time NBA champion set a new season-high in assists and finished second on the team in that department. Thompson’s second season in Dallas has featured several highs and lows, but Thursday’s game marked a trend in the right direction after failing to score in double figures in the three previous games.

Flagg came within two assists of his first-career triple-double, as he collected double-digit rebounds for the fourth time this season, and reached 25 points or more for the seventh time. The rookie sensation also came through on the defensive end — there, he finished with four stocks and tied a career-high in steals. Flagg has enjoyed a stellar first NBA season. His trajectory could lead him to become one of the most productive fantasy players for years to come.

Davis was effective in his 35 minutes of game action, finishing as one of three Mavericks players to score at least 20 points and one of two to collect double-digit rebounds. Thursday’s double-double marked his 13th of the season. However, the veteran big man exited the floor late in the fourth quarter after suffering a hand injury and didn’t return. His status moving forward will certainly be worth monitoring from a fantasy basketball standpoint.

Williams played nine minutes in the first half, tallying two points (1-of-4 FGs), three rebounds and one assist. His absence for the rest of the night may result in a few more minutes for Ryan Nembhard, but that isn’t guaranteed. In recent games, Nembhard has not been productive enough to merit being rostered in most fantasy leagues.
