Added to the Mavericks’ injury report on Friday afternoon, Russell will not be available for the matchup with the Nets. His absence does not change much from a fantasy standpoint, as Ryan Nembhard and Brandon Williams were ahead of D’Lo in the pecking order.

Gafford will miss a third straight game with a lingering right ankle injury. The absence of him and Dereck Lively II means that Dwight Powell will be part of the rotation, serving mainly as Anthony Davis’ backup. There’s no need to consider adding Powell with a healthy AD in the fold.

D’Lo is a late addition to the injury report, which doesn’t bode well for his chances of taking the court on Friday. He has averaged just 15.5 minutes across his last four outings, and if he is unable to go, Ryan Nembhard and Brandon Williams would presumably absorb his vacated minutes.

Thompson is available after sitting out Saturday’s win over the Rockets with a sore knee. His return likely means fewer minutes for D’Angelo Russell and Jaden Hardy, with the latter possibly falling out of the rotation entirely. Thompson is mainly an option for deep-league managers needing three-pointers.

Gafford has missed two straight and four of Dallas’s last five games as his right ankle continues to be an issue. With Dereck Lively II (foot) done for the season, the Mavericks will continue to start Anthony Davis at the center position. Dwight Powell will pick up rotation minutes off the bench if Gafford remains out.

Holmgren had his second game this season with at least four three-pointers, after making six three-pointers against the Hawks on October 25. The 23-year-old center has recorded at least eight rebounds in eight consecutive games as well. Holmgren also had at least 24 points in 25 minutes or less for the second consecutive game. He’s one of a few players on the Thunder that might have better numbers if the team didn’t have so many blowouts.

Gilgeous-Alexander showed once again that he’s one of the top players in the entire league on Wednesday. The 27-year-old point guard dropped 28 points on 15 attempts and only three free throws. The Suns were no match for the Thunder so Gilgeous-Alexander’s night was over after 27 minutes played. Oklahoma City is on an historic pace with a 24-1 record to begin the season.

Lively was reportedly seeking other opinions last week, which is never a positive sign. He’s expected to make a full recovery, but after appearing in just seven games, his third year in the NBA will end up as a lost one. Anthony Davis will be asked to spend more time at center, especially when Daniel Gafford isn’t available. There will also be extra minutes for Moussa Cisse and Dwight Powell, though only as depth pieces. Lively will only be 22 years old at the start of next season and will be an enticing option in fantasy hoops. However, he can be safely dropped in redraft leagues at this point.

Caruso will return from a four-game absence, where he will play a role off the bench on the wing. In a game with extra stakes due to the NBA Cup, Caruso could end up seeing a bump in minutes. However, with how deep OKC is, he has been difficult to rely on for fantasy production this season.

Williams isn’t always in a position to provide tangible fantasy value. However, the combination of blowout victories and some key injuries has freed up additional minutes for “Kenny Hustle.” He’s played at least 17 minutes in three straight games, with Sunday’s performance being the most productive. How much he plays moving forward depends partially on the availability of Isaiah Hartenstein, who has missed the last five games with a strained calf. There’s no need to add Williams ahead of what may be a two-game week for the Thunder, but he’s worth keeping an eye on in deeper leagues.

Sunday’s performance was the best for Wiggins since returning from an adductor strain that sidelined him for 11 games. And this was the third outing in which he made at least five three-pointers. Shooting 60 percent from the field, Wiggins has provided top-100 fantasy value over the past week, receiving a boost due to the absences of Luguentz Dort and Alex Caruso. He’ll continue to have added value if those two can’t play in Wednesday’s NBA Cup quarterfinal against the Suns.

In his fifth appearance of the season, Williams recorded a season-high point total on Sunday. The only thing missing from his final stat line was a blocked shot, but that should not concern any fantasy managers. Thus far, Williams is providing third-round fantasy value in eight-cat formats, which isn’t far away from his Yahoo! ADP of 26. Next up for J-Dub and the Thunder is an NBA Cup quarterfinal matchup with the Suns on Wednesday.

With Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (elbow) getting the night off, Holmgren was one of the players Oklahoma City relied on for added production on Sunday. However, with the Thunder blowing Utah’s doors off, he only played 23 minutes. Given Holmgren’s final line, there are undoubtedly some fantasy managers wondering what he could have done against a more formidable opponent. Next up for Oklahoma City is an NBA Cup quarterfinal against the Suns on Wednesday.

In the five games he played after being moved out of the starting lineup, Williams averaged 8.6 points while shooting 32.6 percent from the field. He had no such issues on Saturday, with the 20 points the most the Mavericks guard has scored in a game since October 29. Saturday’s performance won’t be enough to get Williams back on the radar in most fantasy leagues, as Ryan Nembhard continues to start. But he is worth keeping an eye on, as Williams appears to be locked into the backup role ahead of D’Angelo Russell.

Back in the lineup after a four-game absence, Washington recorded one of his best all-around lines of the season. While the scoring was modest, he did a good job on the glass and matched his career-high with five steals. However, this was Washington’s second game this season with more than two steals, so fantasy managers should not expect Saturday’s performance to become the norm. And Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd’s decision to stick with Naji Marshall (15/2/2/1 with one three-pointer) was good news for those who turned to him while Washington was out.

Flagg finished Saturday’s victory with a complete stat line, and his fantasy value continues to improve after a slow start to his rookie campaign. Over the past two weeks, the forward has provided fourth-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats. In addition to him getting more comfortable, Flagg has seemingly benefited from some solidity at the point guard position, with fellow rookie Ryan Nembhard (11/1/7/1 with one three-pointer) making the job his own recently.

Davis finished Saturday’s game with a stat line on par with what many have expected of him, but injuries have been a disappointing issue for him. However, he did play both games of this Friday/Saturday back-to-back, which is immense, given Davis’ struggles to stay healthy. Dallas only plays once during Week 8, which will give Davis and his teammates some time to get healthier.

Washington is back after a four-game absence, but his presence in the starting lineup does not come at Marshall’s expense. Instead, it will be Max Christie who heads to the bench after starting 21 consecutive games. While he will remain in the rotation, Christie’s already-low fantasy ceiling takes a hit with the change.

Washington has missed the last four games with a right ankle sprain. His status is up in the air for Saturday against the Rockets given his questionable listing. Naji Marshall would fill in again if Washington is ruled out and is worth rostering in deep leagues while Washington is sidelined.

Gafford injured his ankle against the Heat on Wednesday and subsequently missed Friday’s game against the Thunder. He’s unlikely to return Saturday given his doubtful listing. Anthony Davis is off the injury report, though, and should handle the majority of the center minutes for Dallas.

Holmgren made the most of his 23 minutes on Friday, tying a team-high in rebounds and finishing as one of OKC’s top-three scorers on the evening. He played his role well on both ends of the floor, with another blowout victory not requiring much individual production from the former Gonzaga Bulldog. Holmgren has scored at least 15 points in four straight games and flirted with a double-double in each — he’ll have a chance to earn one on Sunday against the Jazz.

Williams was steady in his fourth game of the season. He logged only 24 minutes, which was his lowest of the season, likely as a result of the large margin the Thunder led by before cruising to their 22nd win. In his minutes, Williams tied a team-high in rebounds and made contributions as a facilitator, all while finishing as one of OKC’s top scorers. He’s worked his way into the season rather well and should only become more productive the further he is removed from the wrist injury.

Once again, SGA dominated on the offensive end. The reigning MVP needed only 29 minutes of action and three quarters of basketball to reach the 30-point mark for the 19th time this season, which he did on extremely efficient shooting and with great production from the free-throw line. Gilgeous-Alexander also led the Thunder in assists and continues to lead OKC in its pursuit of a second NBA championship. The Thunder, with a 22-1 record, are on pace for the best regular-season record in NBA history.

Hardy came off the bench and notched his best scoring performance of the season. All of his production came in the second half once the score was lopsided and in favor of the Thunder. Still, he shot well in his 20 minutes of game action, particularly from beyond the arc, and finished as the Mavericks’ leading scorer on the evening. Regardless of Hardy’s strong outing on Friday, he’s not a player fantasy managers should be keeping tabs on at the moment.

A one-sided loss limited the 2025 first-overall pick to under 30 minutes of game action on Friday for the first time since mid-November. He shot poorly from beyond the arc and fell short of the 20-point mark, ending his streak of such games at three. Still, Flagg shot fairly well overall on relatively low volume and was one of Dallas’ best scorers on the evening. His impact elsewhere was minimal.

Davis had his worst performance of the season on Friday. In 24 minutes, he tallied more assists than he did points, and contributed just one made shot on the evening before finishing as the only Mavericks starter to score in single digits. His lone impact from a fantasy basketball standpoint came as a facilitator, where he notched a season-high in assists. It was otherwise a performance the veteran center will hope to quickly move on from. He’ll have a chance to bounce back against the Rockets on Saturday, should he be available to play.

Lively has been sidelined since November 21 and has no concrete return timeline. With the third-year center still dealing with discomfort and swelling in his right foot, he should be considered out indefinitely until the Mavericks announce otherwise.

How Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd chooses to handle his point guard rotation has been unpredictable for most of this season. However, he may have found his answer in Nembhard. After dishing out ten assists in Monday’s win over the Nuggets, the rookie established a new season-high with 13 on Wednesday, and he only committed one turnover. In four starts, Nembhard has 30 assists and five turnovers. While Brandon Williams (7/2/2 in 14 minutes) and D’Angelo Russell (10/3/2 with two three-pointers in 15 minutes) played rotation minutes off the bench, Nembhard logged 34 as the starter. He’s worth rolling the dice on, especially with the Mavericks having two more games on their Week 7 schedule.

While his overall field-goal percentage wasn’t great, Thompson knocked down another five three-pointers on Wednesday. Since shooting 1-of-7 from deep in the Mavericks’ November 21 win over the Pelicans, the veteran guard/forward has made at least three three-pointers in six straight games. Thompson’s overall fantasy value remains low, but his recent run from three (3.9 three-pointers per game over the past two weeks) gives him some value in deep category leagues.

Davis didn’t have the best night shooting the basketball, and his injured right ring finger may be an issue. That said, he still shot 50 percent from three and was highly impactful as a rebounder and shot-blocker. And with Daniel Gafford (ankle) exiting Wednesday’s game during the second half, the Mavericks may need Davis to spend more time at the center position than he may prefer. Just as concerning as Davis’ finger is the schedule, as the Mavericks end Week 7 with a back-to-back. He did not play both games of Dallas’ most recent back-to-back (November 28-29).

Flagg extended his streak of games with at least 20 points to three with another solid performance on Wednesday. Over the past two weeks, the rookie forward has provided top-50 value in eight-cat formats. Flagg started slowly, but he’s picked up the production by the game, most recently earning Western Conference Rookie of the Month honors. Given Dallas’ many injuries, Flagg will be asked to do a lot, even if his days as a point guard seem to be over.

Gafford continues to attempt to play through a lingering right ankle injury. Unfortunately, he had to leave Wednesday’s game during the third quarter and has since been ruled out for the rest of the night. With Dallas’ Week 7 slate concluding with a Friday/Saturday back-to-back, the few who have Gafford rostered should anticipate him missing at least one of those games. With Dereck Lively also out, that means more Anthony Davis at the center position as long as he’s able to play back-to-backs, which may not be the case.

Gafford is available after a two-game absence, giving the Mavericks a welcome infusion of depth in the frontcourt. He may start alongside Anthony Davis, which would shift AD to the four.

While Williams said after Tuesday’s victory that he still hasn’t reached the point where he’s entirely comfortable on the floor, the Thunder forward’s production has improved from game to game. His scoring output has increased every time out, with J-Dub recording his first 20-point stat line in his third game back from offseason wrist surgery. And while he missed all four of his three-point attempts, the percentages from the field and the foul line were encouraging. Williams has attempted only five three-pointers across three games, and that may be the aspect of his offensive game that takes the most time to get back to speed. But he’s clearly on the right track.

Oklahoma City’s win streak hit 13 games on Tuesday, and Holmgren has seven 20-point games during the run. On Tuesday, he shot 66.7 percent from the field and was a steal shy of a complete stat line. Over the past month, he has provided sixth-round value in nine-cat formats. That doesn’t align with Holmgren’s Yahoo! ADP (26), but it’s not like he’s been a disappointment in fantasy basketball. Plus, the skill set is such that he’s capable of going on a run that would get his value closer to preseason expectations.

While the Warriors used increased defensive intensity and various looks to get back into Tuesday’s game, their inability to slow down the reigning MVP was the difference. After Pat Spencer hit a shot with 4:54 remaining to give the Warriors a one-point lead, Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder went on an 8-0 run to take the lead for good, with the MVP responsible for five of those points. Regarding season-long fantasy value, only Nikola Jokić and Victor Wembanyama have been better than SGA, and the latter is currently out with a calf injury.
