Washington aggravated his sprained right ankle during Saturday’s loss to the Bucks, forcing an early exit. Naji Marshall played 30 minutes on Saturday and will likely return to the starting lineup as Washington’s replacement. He’s worth streaming as long as Washington is out.

Butler is on track to return after sitting out Saturday’s loss to the 76ers with a mid-back sprain. Post, who replaced him in the starting lineup, is also probable for Monday’s game. The rookie will come off the bench with Butler back on the court as Draymond Green shifts into the starting center role.

Marshall’s stat line was underwhelming on Saturday outside of the assists and steals. However, PJ Washington’s right ankle flared up, and the Mavericks’ forward was ruled out after playing for 15 minutes. While Washington was on a restriction (25-30 minutes), his premature exit meant more playing time for Marshall. He’ll likely be back in the starting lineup if Washington misses time. In 15 starts this season, Naji has averaged 11.1 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.9 three-pointers in 26.9 minutes.

Thompson has been effective for fantasy managers needing three-point production recently, as he’s made three or more in seven straight and nine of his last 10 games. Since the All-Star break, the veteran sharpshooter has provided seventh-round value in nine-cat formats. While that’s noticeably better than Thompson’s season-long production, his ceiling is limited, with the Mavericks being as shorthanded as they currently are. Dallas begins a four-game Week 18 on Monday against the Kings.

After putting up a double-double in his first start as a Maverick on Thursday, Brown had another solid night on Saturday. The negative for the few who have him rostered is the lack of defensive stats, especially after Brown tallied three steals and two blocks against the Hornets two nights prior. Rostered in 11 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Brown should be rostered in deep leagues while under contract with the Mavericks. However, his 10-day contract expires on Sunday, so fantasy managers willing to take the risk should avoid rushing to use a transaction to add Brown.

Saturday was supposed to be when Irving received additional help offensively as PJ Washington returned from an ankle injury. Unfortunately, he only played 15 minutes due to his ankle flaring up. Irving was once again left to shoulder a significant amount of the offensive workload, and he has now scored 30 points or more in five of his last seven games. Since the All-Star break, Irving has provided top-10 value in eight- and nine-cat formats and can sustain that production level. However, the Mavericks must get healthy as they slip down the Western Conference standings.

GP2’s impact usually doesn’t show up in the box score, but he played well against Philadelphia. He tied his season-high for points and contributed solid value in rebounds and assists in just 23 minutes. Six of his 15 points came in the final seven minutes of the game to help Golden State keep the game close in the fourth quarter, though they weren’t able to secure the win. This was a strong performance from Payton II, but he isn’t a player to consider rostering in standard leagues.

The encore to Curry’s 56-point explosion on Thursday was a strong double-double, though it wasn’t enough to extend Golden State’s winning streak with Jimmy Butler (back) out of the lineup. Still, Curry was able to set a new season-high for assists and record his seventh double-double of the season and his first since January. Curry has provided top five value in nine-cat leagues over the past two weeks and will look to keep that going into their upcoming four-game week, which will begin in Charlotte on Monday.

After replacing Moses Moody in the starting lineup in the second half on Thursday, Post got the starting nod on Saturday, though it was in place of Jimmy Butler, who was sidelined with a back injury. Post took advantage of the opportunity and was Golden State’s second-leading scorer for a second straight game. It’s unclear if he’ll remain in the starting lineup when Butler returns, but he ranks just outside the top-100 in nine-cat leagues over the last two weeks and would have some streaming upside if he remains in that role.

Washington’s right ankle has had him on the injury report regularly in recent weeks, and it will force him to exit early from Saturday’s game. Naji Marshall should close the game out in place of Washington and should start against the Kings on Monday if Washington remains out.

Jones, the 19th overall pick in the 2021 draft, was recently waived by the Clippers to free up a standard contract slot for Jordan Miller. Per Haynes, the plan is for Jones to sign a two-way deal with the Mavericks after he clears waivers. This transaction won’t impact fantasy basketball, but there may be minutes available to Jones with Anthony Davis, Daniel Gafford and Dereck Lively II out with injuries.

Washington is back after missing Thursday’s win over the Hornets, which means Naji Marshall will head to the bench. However, PJ is restricted to 25-30 minutes, so the hit Marshall takes may not be as severe as some fantasy managers may have anticipated. Brown will get another start at the center position as the Mavericks continue to play without Anthony Davis, Daniel Gafford and Dereck Lively II.

The lone change is Post, who will make his first start since February 12. He steps in for Jimmy Butler, who will not play in Saturday’s game due to back spasms. Post’s perimeter shooting ability gives him the ability to provide some value, but he’ll face a difficult matchup on the other end with Andre Drummond.

This will be Butler’s first absence since being traded to Golden State, and it opens up a spot in the starting lineup. Either Buddy Hield or Gary Payton II will likely fill the void, with both taking on extra minutes.

Knox receives his second 10-day contract from the surging Warriors, who have won four straight games coming out of the All-Star break. The 25-year-old has appeared in four contests for Golden State, averaging just seven minutes per-game off the bench.

While he hasn’t done much statistically since signing with the Warriors, Knox has proven to be a good fit in his limited role. As a result, he’ll get another 10-day contract, and the former lottery pick may stick with the Warriors for the rest of the season after this deal expires.

Washington did not play in Thursday’s win over the Hornets, with Naji Marshall replacing him in the starting lineup. While Marshall shot 1-of-11 from the field, he remains a worthwhile streamer when allowed to start. Olivier-Maxence Prosper only played four minutes off the bench on Thursday.

Butler struggled in Thursday’s win over the Magic, scoring just five points, and a mid-back strain likely was a factor. He’s questionable to play against the 76ers, and a potential absence would leave a significant hole in the Warriors’ starting lineup. Gary Payton II is a possible replacement due to the need to account for Tyrese Maxey and Paul George defensively.

Irving continues to carry the load for Dallas on both ends of the floor, but this time, it led to a win after two straight losses. Irving’s production on the defensive end recently has been an excellent boost for fantasy managers; he is averaging two steals and two blocks over the Mavs’ last three games. Of course, the offensive production continues to be there, though his shooting percentage has been slightly down recently. That can be attributed to Irving being the focal point of opposing defenses due to the other injuries that Dallas is dealing with, which is something that could haunt the Mavericks for the rest of the season with Luka Doncic gone and Anthony Davis injured.

Brown, who signed a 10-day contract with Dallas on February 19, made his third appearance and first start for the Mavericks on Thursday. He didn’t provide much value in his first two games, but he was a streaming superstar on a night with only five games. Brown split the center minutes with Dwight Powell, who contributed six points, six rebounds and three assists in 16 minutes off the bench. Brown may be worth streaming against the Bucks on Saturday, unless he isn’t brought back on a second 10-day deal.

Marshall entered the starting lineup on Thursday in place of PJ Washington, who was sidelined with an ankle injury. Marshall has generally been productive as a starter this season, but he struggled to get any shot to go down on Thursday. Still, he was able to provide some solid value in rebounds and assists, though that was the extent of his contributions to fantasy managers in this game. If Washington remains out against the Bucks on Saturday, Marshall should start again and hopefully have a more productive night offensively.

This was an uncharacteristically quiet performance for Butler, though it was his second in a row. He only had six points on Tuesday, though that can be attributed to it coming in a blowout win where he only played 28 minutes. This low-scoring outing was partially because he shot poorly, partially because Stephen Curry carried the offensive load with 56 points. Butler clearly isn’t going to force the issue when he doesn’t need to. He should be more productive in Philadelphia on Saturday.

Post replaced Moses Moody in the starting lineup to begin the second half and ended up being one of the few Warriors not named Stephen Curry to have a productive night. The production hasn’t come consistently, but Post has had some solid scoring nights in recent weeks. This was one of the best games of his young career, but it is difficult for managers to trust him at this point. He holds more value in dynasty formats than he does in standard leagues.

Steph didn’t get much help in this game, but he really didn’t need it. Curry scored nearly half of Golden State’s points to help them win their fifth straight game. He set a new season-high for both points and three-pointers, and this ended up as the fourth-highest scoring game of his legendary career. This was the third time in Curry’s career that he hit at least 12 three-pointers in a game, which puts him in a tie with Klay Thompson for the most such games. Curry was quiet in Tuesday’s win, which can mostly be attributed to the blowout keeping his minutes down. However, he has scored at least 25 points in eight of the Warriors’ last 10 games.

PJ Washington is out, leaving the frontcourt rather thin. Marshall will replace him, and the Mavs will go with a different look at center, replacing Kessler Edwards with Brown. Dante Exum is available, but he’ll come off the bench. Brown could provide some value as a blocks and rebounds streamer.

Washington will miss a game for the first time since before the All-Star break, which will open up a spot in the starting unit. Olivier-Maxence Prosper is a candidate to fill the void, but Naji Marshall will likely be the best fantasy option with Washington out, regardless of who starts.

Washington has not missed a game since the All-Star break, but his ankle injury lingers. Powell played 16 minutes on Tuesday in his first game in just over one month. Washington’s availability is more impactful to fantasy basketball, especially with Anthony Davis (groin) out. There’s no need to roster Powell if he’s available to play.

Thompson was relatively quiet during the first three quarters and then heated up during the fourth. He scored 11 of his 22 points in the final frame, but the Mavericks were unable to get over the hump. The 22 points are the most Thompson has scored in a game since February 6, when he dropped 25 on the Celtics. Given how shorthanded the Mavericks are, with Anthony Davis among the absentees, they’ll need more consistent production from Klay. If he can provide that, fantasy managers will also benefit.

Before Tuesday’s game, Mavericks coach Jason Kidd said Powell would be limited to 10-12 minutes in his first game back from a hip injury. He played 16 minutes and replaced Kessler Edwards (four points and three rebounds in 13 minutes) in the lineup to begin the third quarter. Powell did not provide much value outside of rebounds, and that isn’t enough to make him worth streaming while the Mavericks are shorthanded in the frontcourt. However, consistent rotation minutes won’t be an issue for Powell as long as he remains healthy.

Irving was magnificent on Tuesday, and he has now scored 30 points or more in four of his last five outings. Since February 5, the Mavericks guard has been a top-10 player in eight- and nine-cat formats. With Anthony Davis (groin) out, even more of the offensive workload has fallen on Irving’s shoulders. And to the delight of fantasy managers, he’s answered the call. Dallas plays twice more during Week 17, starting with the reeling Hornets on Thursday.

On the other side of Luka Doncic facing his former team for the first time was Christie, a second-round pick of the Lakers in 2022. Overall, he’s played well since being traded to Dallas. However, Christie has scored 12 points on 5-of-18 shooting in his last two appearances. In his first seven games as a Maverick, the third-year guard averaged 17.1 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.1 steals and 2.4 three-pointers, shooting 51.9 percent from the field and 84 percent from the foul line. Christie will look to snap out of his mini-slump when the Mavericks host Charlotte on Thursday.

The game against the Hornets got out of hand fast and most of the Warriors’ key players played 20 minutes or less. This impacted Hield less than most. He was able to have a good game as he poured in 16 points and four three-pointers in only 20 minutes. Hield’s fantasy value is limited coming off the bench, but he’s a reliable scorer and three-point specialist.

While it wasn’t a huge game for Curry, it was a pretty good effort from the 36-year-old point guard in just 24 minutes in a game that got out of hand early. He seems revitalized since the Warriors’ acquisition of Jimmy Butler prior to the trade deadline. Golden State is rolling with four wins in a row and six wins in their last seven games.
