Martin has not missed a game since March 25. While his production has not been elite, more opportunities should be available in Sunday’s regular season finale. That said, fantasy managers in active leagues would be better served to target Naji Marshall or Max Christie if either is on the waiver wire.

Thompson won’t play in Sunday’s regular season finale, and Lively appears unlikely to be available. Dallas is locked into the ninth-seed in the West, so most of the key players will not play. Naji Marshall, Max Christie and Brandon Williams will figure prominently on the perimeter, while Daniel Gafford should start if Lively does not play.

The Mavericks are locked into the ninth-seed in the West, regardless of what happens on Sunday. Davis and Washington will get the day off ahead of next week’s matchup with the Kings, and they’ll need to win two games to reach the postseason. Daniel Gafford is not on the initial injury report, but fantasy managers should not expect to see him play too many minutes.

Harden recorded the 80th triple-double of his career and made a few big plays late to help the Clippers secure the win. He also had a few rough plays down the stretch that nearly cost them, including two missed free throws and a turnover that gave the Kings the ball with two seconds left and a chance to win. It has been an excellent season for Harden, and he has really picked up his play recently as the Clippers push for a higher seed in the playoffs. They’ll take on the Warriors in the regular season finale on Sunday.

This was the 14th-straight double-double for Zubac, which is the longest active streak in the league and the fifth-longest streak this season. Only Domantas Sabonis (24, 18), Giannis Antetokounmpo (19) and Karl-Anthony Towns (18) have had longer double-double streaks this year. Zubac has had a fantastic season and has only improved as the year progressed. He’ll be candidate to make an All-Defensive team and is a big reason why the Clippers will have a chance to host in the first round of the playoffs.
LAC • Forward • #2

Leonard made his presence felt in the first half and entered the break with 20 points, which included a triple with one second left in the second quarter to give the Clippers a halftime lead. Leonard has been playing at a high level over the past month and is a big reason why the Clippers are one of the hottest teams in the league entering the postseason. They will play the Warriors on Sunday to wrap up the regular season in what will be a must-win game for both teams.
DAL • F-C • #3

AD may have struggled in his first game against his former team when the Mavericks hosted the Lakers on Wednesday, but that didn’t carry over into Friday’s performance whatsoever. He entered halftime on quadruple-double watch after contributing 12 points, seven rebounds, seven assists and six blocks in the first half. Unfortunately, he only added one more block in the second half, and he only played 30 minutes, though that can be attributed to the lopsided score. Davis should be in for another big night in the season finale in Memphis on Sunday before they take on the Kings in the Play-In Tournament next week.

Christie’s tenure with the Mavericks got off to a strong start, and while he wasn’t able to maintain that for most of March, he has been playing well entering the postseason. He has scored in double figures in five of his last six appearances, and this was Christie’s highest-scoring performance since March 19, when he also scored 17 points. Christie should be a solid reserve in the postseason, but it’s difficult to see him providing standard league value when Dallas is fully healthy next season.

This was Lively’s fourth appearance since he injured his ankle back in the middle of January. His 18 minutes in this game were the most he has played since prior to his injury, and while it wasn’t much more than he played in his previous three games, he was able to record his first double-double since January 9. He had a total of 12 points and eight rebounds in his last three games, and he was held without a rebounds against the Lakers on Wednesday. It’s good to see Lively playing well after such a lengthy absence.

Powell will be back after a one-game absence, which means that the Clippers will be at full strength in an important matchup for seeding in the West. Powell’s return will push Derrick Jones Jr. back to the bench and eliminate any streaming value that he held. Zubac will occupy his typical spot in the starting unit.

Harden recorded his second points/assists double-double in three games on Saturday, with the 14 helpers being the most he’s recorded in a game since March 4. Over the past month, The Beard has provided top-10 value in eight- and nine-cat formats. While the turnovers have decreased slightly, Harden’s scoring output has increased. He’s averaged 23.9 points per game over the past month, just over one point higher than his season average of 22.5. The Clippers end the regular season with a four-game Week 23, starting with the Spurs on Tuesday.
LAC • Center • #40

Zubac may not be a popular name in most mainstream conversations regarding the Most Improved Player award, but he deserves to be mentioned. The Clippers’ center is having a career year, and he was elite on Saturday. Zubac did not miss a shot from the field or the foul line, and the double-double was his 55th of the season. By comparison, he had 50 double-doubles in the prior two seasons combined. From a fantasy standpoint, Zubac has offered fourth-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past month.

Saturday’s game went as well as the Clippers could have hoped regarding Leonard. For the first time this season, he played both games of a back-to-back. Also, Leonard was effective while on the court and only needed to play for 25 minutes. Kawhi has been on fire over the past month, providing top-10 value in eight- and nine-cat formats. The Clippers’ four-game Week 23 begins with a Tuesday/Wednesday back-to-back, and one of those games is against a team headed to the lottery in San Antonio. Although Saturday’s experience was positive, it isn’t guaranteed Leonard will be available for both ends of the Clippers’ final back-to-back of the season.
DAL • G • #31

Thompson shot 4-of-8 from three and did not provide much else of value to fantasy managers on Saturday. Over the past two weeks, the veteran sharpshooter is ranked outside the top 200 in eight- and nine-cat formats. Thompson has primarily been a points and three-pointers player this season, and his field goal percentage of 41.3 percent is the lowest of his career. Thompson managers whose leagues are active during Week 23 will have three games to work with, starting with Wednesday’s matchup against the Lakers.

Saturday’s game was Lively’s second since returning from a stress fracture in his ankle. As expected, there’s still some rust, and the Mavericks are taking a conservative approach to his workload. Lively only played 15 minutes, offering limited value during his time on the court. With Daniel Gafford (knee) sitting out, Kai Jones assumed the backup center responsibilities and had an excellent night. Shooting 9-of-9 from the field, he finished with 18 points, seven rebounds, one steal and three blocks. However, as good as this line was, fantasy managers whose leagues will be active next week don’t need to pick up Jones. Dallas plays on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, which should ensure that Lively and Gafford are available.

After sitting out Friday’s loss to the Clippers, Davis was back in the lineup for Saturday’s rematch. While the points and rebounds were solid, his efficiency left something to be desired. Not only did Davis shoot below 50 percent from the field, but he was also responsible for six turnovers. Over the past two weeks, he has been a ninth-round player in eight-cat formats, ranking just outside the top-100 according to Basketball Monster. For Davis managers whose leagues run through Week 23, the Mavericks play three games, all on the busiest days of the week (Wednesday, Friday and Sunday).

Davis and Lively have been upgraded from probable to available and should start alongside each other. Daniel Gafford (knee) is unavailable after starting on Friday, opening up a spot for Lively, while Davis will likely push Naji Marshall to the bench. Marshall is worth holding onto due to Dallas’s lack of depth.

Gafford is sitting out Saturday’s game because it is the Mavericks’ second in as many nights. Dallas will have suitable coverage for Gafford’s absence, with Anthony Davis and Dereck Lively II on track to play. Hardy sprained his right ankle during the fourth quarter of Friday’s loss to the Clippers. His absence should free up additional minutes for fellow reserve Max Christie, who is worth a look in deep leagues.

For the first time this season, Leonard is available for both games of a back-to-back. With the Clippers blowing out the Mavericks on Friday, he only needed to play 24 minutes. For the rematch, Leonard will be limited to 25-30 minutes. Derrick Jones Jr. and Bogdan Bogdanovic miss out on boosts to their respective fantasy values with Leonard in the lineup.

Unlike previous back-to-backs, the door is open for Leonard to be available for both ends. He only needed to play 24 minutes in Friday’s rout of the Mavericks, which may increase his chances of being available Saturday night. If Leonard does not play, Derrick Jones Jr. is the likely replacement in the lineup, while Ben Simmons would have an enhanced role off the bench.

Martin is once again listed as probable as he continues to manage his hip injury. He played 18 minutes on Friday and only contributed one rebound, one steal and two turnovers.

Gafford started on Friday in the first leg of the Mavericks’ mini-series with the Clippers, and there is a chance that he suits up for the second game.

Both players sat out the first night of the Mavericks’ back-to-back set with the Clippers, so their expected availability shouldn’t come as a surprise.

Zubac has recorded a double-double in ten straight games, with Friday’s effort pushing his tally to 54 for the season. The Clippers’ center continues to impress, and he has been a fourth-round player in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. Even better for the Clippers is Zubac played 27 minutes on Friday, the second time he’s failed to pass that number since the All-Star break. The Clippers are in a hotly contested race in the middle of the Western Conference, so any opportunity to get their starters additional rest will be welcomed.

Powell was solid on Friday, but fantasy managers were doomed when the game got out of hand by halftime. Over the past two weeks, he has only been an 11th-round player in nine-cat formats, five rounds lower than his season-long value. The decreased scoring output has been a factor, with Powell averaging 17.0 points per game over the past two weeks. By comparison, he’s averaging 22.2 points for the season. He’ll look to have a more productive night on Saturday when the Clippers host the Mavericks again.

While Leonard has not reached the point where he’ll be allowed to play both games of back-to-backs, the door has not been completely closed on his playing Saturday against the Mavericks. Following Friday’s victory, the Clippers’ star said, “We’ll see” when asked if he’ll be available. For fantasy managers, it would certainly be helpful if Leonard were to play, especially after logging 24 minutes on Friday.

Hardy was productive in 29 minutes, but his Friday night came to a painful end during the fourth quarter. He stepped on a Clippers’ player’s foot and sprained his right ankle. Requiring assistance to get back to the locker room, Hardy could not put any weight on his right leg. At a minimum, fantasy managers should assume he will not be available for Saturday’s rematch with the Clippers. Between Hardy’s injury and Klay Thompson (illness) exiting during the first half, Max Christie (11/6/1/1 with one three-pointer in 33 minutes) should play plenty on Saturday, possibly as a starter.

Dinwiddie has reached double figures in four straight and 12 of his last 13 games. Since moving into the starting lineup on March 19, the Mavericks’ guard has provided fifth-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats. Dinwiddie hasn’t been the most reliable fantasy option for most of his career. Still, the current injury situation in Dallas makes him a must-roster player for Saturday’s game against the Clippers. He’s rostered in 52 percent of Yahoo! leagues, so managers in shallow leagues can find Dinwiddie on the waiver wire.

After scoring 14 points on 6-of-13 shooting in his prior two games, Marshall benefited from the Mavericks playing without Anthony Davis on Friday. He’s scored 20 points or more 16 times this season, 15 more than his prior four seasons combined. While Davis may be available for Saturday’s rematch with the Clippers, Dallas watched Klay Thompson (illness) and Jaden Hardy (ankle) exit Friday’s game due to injury. Marshall will have a higher fantasy ceiling if they’re unavailable, even if Davis plays.

Wednesday’s game was the first for Lively since January 14, as he had been sidelined with a stress fracture in his right ankle. While he was immediately inserted into the starting lineup, the second-year center was limited to 16 minutes. With the Mavericks ending Week 22 with a Friday/Saturday back-to-back against the Clippers, fantasy managers should anticipate Lively sitting out one of those games. While capable of providing value in the rebound and blocked shot categories, the minutes restriction limits Lively’s ceiling for what is championship week in many fantasy leagues.

While Bogdanovic has been a solid addition to the Clippers’ roster, his production has tailed off over the past two weeks. During this stretch, he’s ranked outside the top 200 in eight- and nine-cat formats. Wednesday was one of Bogdanovic’s good nights, but he’s only reached double figures in four of his last eight appearances. He remains rostered in 60 percent of Yahoo! leagues, but that’s due more to the expectations for Bogdanovic while he was with the Hawks than what he’s done recently.

Surprisingly, Harden’s double-double on Wednesday was his first since March 16. However, despite the decrease in assist production, The Beard has been a first-round player in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. Harden has shot 45.7 percent from the field during this stretch, more than five percentage points higher than his 40.1 percent shooting over the course of the season. If he can maintain the improved efficiency through the Clippers’ final two games of Week 22, Harden may be able to carry some fantasy managers to a championship.

This has been a career year for Zubac, who deserves to be included in Most Improved Player conversations. The Clippers center recorded his 53rd double-double of the season on Wednesday, and the six assists were the most in a game for him since March 16. Over the past two weeks, Zubac has provided fourth-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats. The Clippers play two games against the Mavericks to end Week 22, and those matchups may be more challenging since Daniel Gafford and Dereck Lively II have rejoined the Dallas rotation.

Leonard has scored 20 points or more in 10 straight games and has the look of a player primed to put on a show during the postseason. The Clippers forward has rewarded those who patiently awaited his return from offseason knee surgery, and The Klaw could prove to be a league winner. Over the past two weeks, Leonard has been a first-round player in eight- and nine-cat formats. The lone negative for fantasy managers is the Clippers’ schedule, as they end Week 22 with a Friday/Saturday back-to-back against the Mavericks, which means Leonard will likely sit out one of those games.

Marshall has made quite a few starts this year with all the injuries the Mavericks have dealt with. He got another start Wednesday with PJ Washington (illness) out. The 27-year-old small forward wasn’t nearly as effective in this game as prior starts as he scored just six points on six field goal attempts in 35 minutes, though Marshall made up for it by dishing out eight assists. He’ll continue to have value in deeper formats when inserted into the starting lineup.

The 25-year-old point guard wasn’t credited with any steals in his last four games entering play Monday, in fact the seven steals were as many as Harden had in his last eight games before Monday. It’s a nice bonus for fantasy managers to an otherwise pedestrian stat line. Harden will drag down your field-goal shooting percentage in fantasy leagues, but the assists and charity stripe help often make up for it. The steals are just an added bonus.

Zubac closed out the month with his second game in March with at least 20 rebounds. He even played 38 minutes on the second night of a back-to-back to get there.

Leonard returned to the starting lineup after sitting out Sunday’s game against the Cavaliers. The 33-year-old small forward wasn’t efficient on offense and missed all six of his three-point attempts.
