Russell has been third in the point guard pecking order for quite some time, so his absence from Thursday’s game will not affect fantasy basketball. Ryan Nembhard and Brandon Williams will handle the point guard role, with the player who has the “hot hand” seeing more action.

Russell has been splitting backup point guard minutes behind Brandon Williams, so there’s not much of a fantasy impact here. Ryan Nembhard would be the only backup if Russell sits, so that could make Nembhard useful in deeper fantasy formats, but he’d still likely be limited to about 25-28 minutes.

Davis will be back after a two-game absence. Daniel Gafford entered the starting lineup in his place, but he’ll likely return to playing a reserve role with AD back. Gafford should still play a large reserve role, but his upside will be capped by coming off the bench.

Green had a monster performance in Sunday’s OT loss to the Raptors before turning in a muted stat line in Monday’s comfortable victory over the Nets. He got back on track against the Hornets, falling just two rebounds shy of a triple-double. He’ll look to build on this strong showing when the Warriors host the Thunder on Friday.

Williams continues to come off the bench, but for the second time in three games, he played more than starting point guard Ryan Nembhard. After logging 30 minutes on Christmas Day, Williams hit that number on Monday. And he started the third quarter in place of Nembhard, who went scoreless with two rebounds and six assists in 17 minutes. Williams’ fantasy value would be more appealing if he were the starter, but it has been challenging for many managers to make sense of the Mavericks’ point guard rotation.

While Flagg recorded a complete stat line in Portland, he struggled to provide consistent scoring. There were brief periods when he showed why he currently leads all rookies in scoring, but Flagg could not get untracked. And the shooting struggles may have led him to attempt only three shots in the fourth quarter, all misses. With Anthony Davis out due to a groin injury, there’s room for Flagg to be more assertive offensively, and the Mavericks need him to be. He’ll look to bounce back when the Mavericks host Philadelphia on Thursday.

Making a second straight start in place of the injured Anthony Davis, Gafford finished Monday’s defeat with one of his best stat lines of the season. In addition to recording his second double-double, the Mavericks’ center was responsible for four defensive contributions, his best output since December 20 against the 76ers. Gafford did take a quick trip to the locker room during Monday’s game, but the 26 minutes played were the most for him since November 24. Hopefully, Monday’s performance serves as a catalyst for a player who has offered 11th-round fantasy value this season.

Having scored 14 points in the first half of Monday’s game, Christie went scoreless in the third quarter, shooting 0-of-2 from the field. The Mavericks guard rebounded nicely in the fourth, scoring 11 points on 4-of-4 shooting to help Dallas claw its way back into the game. The 25 points were a season-high for Christie, who matched his previous high with five three-pointers. While starting gives him a higher fantasy ceiling, that’s likely to change once Anthony Davis is cleared to return from a groin injury.

Curry came alive in the second half, scoring 17 points in the final two quarters on 5-of-8 shooting, including 3-of-6 from downtown. It was an impressive effort on the second night of a back-to-back after playing 41 minutes during Sunday’s overtime loss to the Raptors. The 37-year-old fantasy superstar has scored at least 23 points in seven of eight games since returning back on December 12.

Butler, who was a game-time decision in this one due to lower back soreness after playing 38 minutes during Sunday’s overtime loss to the Raptors, did most of his damage during a 13-point third quarter before going scoreless in the final stanza. The 36-year-old veteran, who got to the charity stripe for 12 free-throw attempts, delivered his usual combination of all-around production chipping in five boards, four assists and one steal.

Williams is set to return after a one-game absence due to a calf injury. The 26-year-old point guard should handle his usual workload Monday. In his last game against the Warriors, Williams had 26 points in 30 minutes.

Davis was initially questionable for Monday’s game, despite it being reported on Friday that he would miss “a few” games after injuring his groin on Christmas Day against the Warriors. Daniel Gafford should once again start at center, but the combination of limited playing time and production has lowered his fantasy ceiling.

Butler was a game-time call for Monday’s game with a sore lower back, but he’s good to go. Butler played 38 minutes in Sunday’s overtime loss to the Raptors; the Warriors could take steps to reduce his workload. If so, Gary Payton II could figure more prominently in the rotation after playing 12 minutes on Sunday.

Curry reached 39 points for the third time in seven contests since returning from a five-game absence back on December 12 and could’ve had an even bigger night in this one since he shot an uncharacteristic 36.4 percent (4-of-11) from three-point range. He made up for it by getting to the charity stripe for 11 free-throw attempts, his highest single-game total since November 12. The 37-year-old sharpshooter is averaging 28.9 points, 4.1 rebounds, 4.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.5 blocks through 23 games this season. The Warriors are back in action on Monday to complete a back-to-back with a showdown against the Nets before closing out a four-game week with matchups against the Hornets, Thunder and Jazz.

Green’s offensive abilities have never been his signature calling card. However, he managed to come through in this one with a surprising 20-point effort where he knocked down eight of his season-high 14 shot attempts, including 4-of-8 from three-point range. The mercurial 35-year-old defensive specialist isn’t much of a fantasy option at this stage of his career, averaging just 8.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.8 blocks through 26 games this season.

Curry underwent an MRI on his lower back that revealed a sciatic nerve issue. He will be re-evaluated around Jan. 11. Curry has already been sidelined for a couple weeks, but before that, he wasn’t part of the rotation. His continued absence won’t change much for the Warriors.

Thompson has made at least four three-pointers in two of his last three outings. However, while he did a good job on the boards as well, this isn’t enough to make the veteran guard much more than a specialist in deep category leagues. Even with the Mavericks playing four games in Week 11, Thompson can be left on the waiver wire.

For the second straight game, Nembhard was limited to 17 minutes. However, unlike Thursday, the Mavericks did not have Brandon Williams. Naji Marshall (11/2/1/1 with one three-pointer in 26 minutes) replaced the rookie in the lineup to begin the third quarter, and there lies the risk in rostering Nembhard. Even with the move into the starting lineup, he has not consistently played starters’ minutes.

With no Anthony Davis in the Mavericks’ lineup, there will be room for Washington to do a bit more offensively. On Saturday, he took as many shots as Cooper Flagg. While that may not be optimal, that approach does raise Washington’s fantasy ceiling. If he’s on your league’s waiver wire, don’t hesitate to add Washington, especially with the Mavericks playing four games in Week 11.

With Anthony Davis (groin) out, there’s even more room for Flagg to exert his influence on the offensive end of the floor. That may have made Saturday’s performance somewhat disappointing for fantasy managers, even with the rookie scoring 23 points while shooting over 50 percent from the field. Flagg only attempted 13 shots on the day after putting up 21 in each of his two previous outings. That isn’t all on the rookie, of course, but there should not be games in which Max Christie (12 attempts) puts up almost as many shots as Flagg. Dallas opens a four-game Week 11 in New Orleans on Monday.

Saturday’s game is the first for the Mavericks since losing Anthony Davis to a minor groin strain. Gafford moves back into the starting lineup, but his fantasy ceiling will only be affected if he’s able to play more minutes. As a starter, he has averaged 23.1 minutes per game. Moussa Cissé and Dwight Powell will be available to fill out the rotation at the center position. Also of note is Christie moving into the starting lineup, with Naji Marshall being pushed to the bench.

Charania’s report indicates Dallas is taking a cautious approach, so the injury may not be severe, but they will continue to evaluate him daily. Max Christie started the second half of Thursday’s game in place of Davis, but that was likely a matchup-based decision.

After totaling 13 points on 4-of-12 shooting in Dallas’ Monday/Tuesday back-to-back, Williams rebounded with his best performances of the season. The 26 points were a season-high for the guard, who played 30 minutes off the bench. Starter Ryan Nembhard (four points, one rebound and two assists in 17 minutes) struggled, resulting in more playing time for Williams. Thursday was another example of why it’s challenging to rely on either of the Mavericks point guards in fantasy, although Nembhard’s status as the starter gives him the slight edge.

Washington was back in the Mavericks’ lineup after sitting out Tuesday’s win over the Nuggets, and he made up for lost time with his fourth double-double of the season. All that his stat line was missing on Thursday was a three-pointer, a somewhat surprising development since he averages 1.5 per game on the season. Depending on what happens with Anthony Davis, who left the game with a groin injury, Washington could figure even more prominently in the Mavericks’ offense in the short term.

The good news is that Marshall reached double figures for the tenth consecutive game. The bad is that the stat line was meager outside of points and rebounds. And the limited production is why Marshall is ranked just outside the top-100 over the last two weeks. If Anthony Davis (groin) misses time, the Mavericks are going to need even more from Marshall. For that reason, he’s worth holding onto if you’ve been rostering him.

Four days after turning 19 years old, Flagg made his Christmas Day debut. While it ended in defeat and Anthony Davis (groin) limped off with another injury, the rookie certainly made a positive impression. Flagg shot over 50 percent from the field and provided solid value in the rebound and assist categories against the Warriors. Depending on how long Davis is out, the Mavericks will have to rely even more on their prized rookie. Dallas ends its Week 10 schedule in Sacramento on Saturday.

Thursday’s performance was a reminder that Melton does not need to be a starter to provide tangible fantasy value. He played 24 minutes off the bench against the Mavericks, recording a complete stat line. Melton’s field-goal percentage wasn’t the best, but his getting up a season-high 14 shots was encouraging. Hopefully, he can build on this effort, as the Warriors guard averaged 3.4 points on 14.3 percent shooting in the five games prior.

Thursday’s game was the first for Horford since December 4, and the veteran center did not wait to make a positive impression. He hit his first four three-point attempts, scoring 12 points in the first quarter. Horford did not provide much beyond the game’s first 12 minutes, logging only 11 minutes on the day. For that reason, there’s no need to add him, especially with a Sunday/Monday back-to-back on the horizon.

Butler’s all-around game was on display Thursday afternoon, with the veteran forward finishing one rebound and one assist shy of a triple-double. For the season, he has been a third-round player in eight- and nine-cat formats.

Curry has traditionally struggled on Christmas Day, and he had a rough evening shooting the basketball. However, the Warriors guard still led the team in scoring, with a perfect night at the foul line boosting the final point total.

The Warriors hit the road for a Sunday/Monday back-to-back against the Raptors and Nets.

After totaling eight points on 3-of-14 shooting in his two previous games, Moody enjoyed one of his best nights of the season on Monday. This was his first game with at least 20 points in over a month and fifth of the season. While his fantasy value remains relatively low, with Moody sitting outside the top-150 in eight-cat formats, he’s done enough to earn consistent playing time. That keeps him on the radar in some deep leagues, especially when he’s playing starters’ minutes.

Butler got off to a good start on Monday, scoring 16 first-half points. With Stephen Curry shooting 3-of-13 from the field, the veteran forward stepped up at a good time. With Curry getting hot in the third quarter, Butler took a back seat, so the final stat line was a bit underwhelming when considering what could have been. While he is providing third-round value in eight-cat formats this season, Butler’s production has felt underwhelming at times. He’ll look to put together four elite quarters on Thursday when the Warriors face the Mavericks.
