Thompson is back after missing Saturday’s win over the Wizards. Having struggled to begin the season, the veteran guard came off the bench in the two games Dallas played before his absence. He should remain in that role and is not worth rostering in 12-team leagues right now.

Lively has missed Dallas’s last five games with a knee injury, and it appears likely that he’ll miss a sixth on Monday. How impactful his absence will be depends on Daniel Gafford’s availability, who’s questionable with a sprained ankle. If Gafford cannot play but Anthony Davis (calf) can, AD will play most of his minutes at center. If both sit, it will likely be “Moussa Cissé time” in Milwaukee.

Despite exiting Friday’s game against the Grizzlies early due to a sprained right ankle, Gafford started and played 19 minutes on Saturday. If he’s unable to play, the Mavericks may need to call on Moussa Cissé to fill the void, as Anthony Davis is questionable and Dereck Lively II is doubtful. Cissé played 19 minutes and contributed nine rebounds and three blocked shots on Saturday.

D’Angelo Russell got the start at point guard for Dallas, but Williams ended up playing more minutes and was more productive in the box score. Mavericks coach Jason Kidd has been mixing up the starting lineup recently to try and find a combination that works with Anthony Davis (calf) unavailable.

For the third time in his last four games, Washington was able to record a double-double. During this stretch, he is averaging 18 points, 9.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.3 blocks per game. He hasn’t shot efficiently, but the counting stats have been there, which has been helpful with Anthony Davis (calf) sidelined. Washington should continue to be a solid producer, but if AD is back to take on the Bucks on Monday, Washington’s value will take a hit.

Flagg logged only 27 minutes in the fairly one-sided contest between the Mavs and Grizzlies on Friday. In his time on the floor, the 2025 first-overall pick shot efficiently from the field and reached double figures in scoring for the eighth time over his first nine regular-season games of his career. Flagg has yet to log any truly jaw-dropping stat lines during his rookie season. Rather, he has been a consistent scorer and rebounder who has shown that he can be relied upon for nightly impact on both ends of the floor.

Christie led the Mavericks in scoring on a night in which no Dallas players hit the 20-point mark. He also scored in double figures for his seventh consecutive game and continues to shoot the ball well in the process. The fourth-year guard has found a nice rhythm and is comfortably in the Mavericks’ starting lineup at the moment. Assuming his role remains the same, he may be a player worth rostering in fantasy leagues, especially for those managers looking for efficient shooting and three-point production.

Thompson remained solid for the Pistons on Friday, getting involved in several areas of the game to help key Detroit’s fifth straight win. The versatile wing scored six of his points in the opening frame and also collected a pair of steals to set the tone early. He collected multiple steals for the fourth time this season and logged his sixth game with at least one steal and block.

On the heels of a dominant 20-point, 20-rebound performance against the Jazz, Duren once again logged a massive double-double on Friday in a Pistons victory. The fourth-year center utilized efficient shooting to reach the 30-point mark for the second time this season while collecting double-digit rebounds for the fifth time. He has made a massive leap as a scorer this year, which has been aided by improvements in volume and accuracy from the free-throw line. His strong start to the season has played a big role in Detroit’s early success.

Cunningham was fantastic in Friday’s win. He tallied at least 30 points for the third straight game and was one of two Pistons to hit that scoring mark against the Nets. Cunningham also notched double-digit assists for the second straight game en route to consecutive double-doubles.
