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.

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.

Dinwiddie’s excellent run as the Mavericks’ starting point guard continued Wednesday. The 31-year-old had another double-double with 14 points and 10 assists. Dinwiddie has had a double-double in two of his last three games. He’s been a top-50 fantasy player over the last two weeks and could be one of the better waiver wire finds of the end of the season.

While the Mavericks’ trade for Davis was widely panned and mocked, the 32-year-old power forward turned in a vintage performance Wednesday against the Hawks. He was a machine down low with 34 points, 15 rebounds and five blocks. He did all that damage in just 30 minutes as he’s coming off an adductor injury. Davis was his dominant self for the first time since returning from the injury. Ideally, we’d see this version of Davis more regularly over the Mavs’ final few games of the regular season, though they do have a back-to-back coming up, so AD will likely get one night off.

The Mavericks have made two changes to their starting lineup for Wednesday’s game. Marshall is starting for PJ Washington, who is unavailable due to illness. The other change is Lively, who will start his first game back from a stress fracture in his ankle. While limited to 15 minutes, he will replace Daniel Gafford in the starting five.

Initially probable for Wednesday’s game, Martin played 21 minutes off the bench in Monday’s loss to the Nets. He’ll likely shoulder a similar workload against Atlanta, as the Mavericks should be as healthy as they’ve been since the trade deadline. Martin is a player who many fantasy managers can afford to leave on the waiver wire.

While Davis was initially probable for Wednesday’s game, Lively has not appeared in a contest since January 14. AD will likely be limited to 25-28 minutes, while Lively will play no more than 15. Daniel Gafford is also available, which will help account for the remaining minutes.

Washington missed multiple games with an ankle injury last week and is now set to miss Wednesday’s game with an illness. With he 26-year-old power forward out, Naji Marshall could move into the starting lineup and would be worth streaming in deeper formats.

Caldwell-Pope is on a heater from deep, having shot 10-of-12 from beyond the arc in his last two games. Tuesday’s three-point tally of seven was a season-high, surpassing the six he made in a November 27 win over the Bulls. The issue is that Caldwell-Pope does not provide much value outside of points and three-pointers; he’s a liability in fantasy leagues when those shots aren’t falling. Over the past two weeks, KCP has provided 10th-round value in nine-cat formats, four rounds better than his season-long production.

On Tuesday, Wagner and Paolo Banchero became the first duo in Magic history to score 20 points or more in nine straight games. Averaging 23.1 points, 6.3 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game, Franz has provided sixth-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. The issue for fantasy managers has been the lackluster defensive production, with Wagner averaging 0.5 steals and 0.1 blocked shots. However, this isn’t a massive deal for category league managers who receive solid output from other players in those categories.

Banchero combined with teammate Franz Wagner to make history on Tuesday, as they became the first duo in Magic history to score 20 points or more in nine straight games. Also, this is the second-longest such streak for a duo aged 23 years or younger in NBA history. Remove the turnovers, and Banchero has been a top-50 player in eight-cat formats over the past two weeks. He’s shooting nearly 49 percent from the field during this stretch, which has helped compensate for the 3.8 turnovers per game.

Sidelined for nine of Orlando’s last 10 games with a toe injury, Anthony returned to the rotation on Tuesday. He was used in a reserve role, as the team is taking a cautious approach after an aggravation of the initial toe injury sidelined Anthony for seven of those nine games. He filled the stat sheet, but those who have him rostered took a hit in the field goal percentage category. Anthony’s return meant fewer minutes for Cory Joseph (6/2/1 with two three-pointers) and Anthony Black (4/2/3/3), who played 18 and 20 minutes, respectively. The Magic play their final game of Week 22 in Washington on Thursday, so managers who have any of these guards rostered will want to free up that roster spot for the weekend.

Following a seven-game absence, Anthony will be back to take on San Antonio. He had been a consistent starter at point guard, but he came off the bench in the last game he played, which was a return from a two-game absence. Anthony will come off the bench in this one, allowing Cory Joseph to continue to start. However, Joseph and Anthony Black will lose out on minutes with Anthony available.

ESPN’s Tim MacMahon reported Lively is “trending toward” a return this week, and that could come against Atlanta. It will have been 2.5 months since Lively last played, so managers should expect him to be on a strict minutes restriction. However, between Lively and Daniel Gafford, there may not be many minutes left over for Kai Jones at center.

Davis should be good to go once again, though he will likely remain on a restriction of 25-28 minutes. He hasn’t been his typical dominant self over the Mavericks’ last four games, but he will look to get back on track against a Hawks team that will be playing the second leg of a back-to-back.

Dinwiddie has had an excellent stretch as the starting point guard for Dallas. He has started at point guard for their last seven games and has had at least seven assists in six of those. He has also scored in double figures in 10 of their last 11 games. Monday’s performance wasn’t his best as a scorer, but he still ranks inside the top-50 in nine-cat leagues over the past two weeks and will look to keep that going over their final three games of the week, starting against the Hawks on Wednesday.

AD was expected to be on a 25-28 minutes restriction for this game, and he ended up playing a little more than 28 minutes. Head coach Jason Kidd tried to get every minute out of AD that he could, but it wasn’t enough for Dallas to get a home win over the tanking Nets. In his four games since returning from a six-week absence, Davis has averaged 14.3 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists and one block while shooting 37.7 percent from the floor and 55.6 percent from the free throw line in 28.5 minutes per game.

Gafford was expected to be restricted to 15-20 minutes, and head coach Jason Kidd used him for 19 minutes in his first game since February 9. It wasn’t enough for Dallas to get the win, but Gafford was able to lead them in scoring, which was good to see in his first game in nearly two months. Gafford should see a similar workload against the Hawks on Wednesday and then will likely only play one leg of their back-to-back on Friday and Saturday. He has been able to provide excellent value in limited action throughout his career, so it isn’t surprising that he was able to do that in his first game back.

Wagner struggled from the field, including a 1-of-7 showing from behind the three-point line. The 23-year-old small forward has missed at least four three-point attempts in each of his last five games. Wagner has still scored at least 20 points in each of his last eight games, but he’s shot under 50 percent from the field in five of them. It’s been a tough shooting stretch, but Wagner has been a top-50 fantasy player on the season.

The 22-year-old power forward was 1-of-8 from behind the three-point line. Banchero is just 3-of-18 from behind the three-point line combined over his last three games. He’s also turned the ball over at least six times in two of his last three games. Banchero’s value in nine-category leagues, where he’s just outside the top-50 players over the last two weeks, has taken a hit with those high-turnover games.

Lively was upgraded to questionable ahead of this game, but his return will be delayed for at least one more game.

If it’s not Wednesday against the Hawks, Lively could play in one leg of the Mavs’ mini-series with the Clippers on Friday and Saturday. With Daniel Gafford returning on Monday, Kai Jones could be pushed out of the rotation soon.

Washington returned after missing two games with an ankle injury. He looked like the same guy as he had 19 points and seven rebounds against the Bulls Saturday.

Dinwiddie’s play has been exceptional of late as he’s provided top-75 fantasy value over the last two weeks. The 31-year-old point guard has been the primary beneficiary of Kyrie Irving’s absence as he’s getting to run the show in Dallas. Dinwiddie’s scoring can fluctuate, but he’s a reliable assist man with at least seven assists in six of his last seven games. He should be rostered in all leagues at this point.

Houstan has made at least four three-pointers in four games this season, and he matched his previous high on Saturday with six. Also, he managed to provide some value in the rebound and assist categories. However, Saturday’s performance is insufficient to make Houstan a player worth targeting. He’s been an inconsistent shooter, and the limited production outside of points and triples makes him a difficult player to trust in most fantasy leagues.

Carter has scored 12 points or more in five of his last seven appearances. While this would not be a significant deal for most starters, it is for a player who has battled inconsistency for most of the season. However, even with the increased scoring output, Carter remains a player who cannot be trusted in 12-team leagues. Over the past two weeks, he’s ranked outside the top 200 in eight- and nine-cat formats. Backup Goga Bitadze (12/10/5/1/1 in 18 minutes) has been better, but his overall fantasy value hasn’t been much to brag about. With Orlando’s three-game Week 22 ending on Thursday, there isn’t much to gain from rostering either in standard leagues.

Wagner has scored 20 points or more in seven straight games, his longest streak since late January.

Banchero did not see any action during the fourth quarter, as the Magic led by 32 points after three quarters.

Over the past two weeks, Banchero has provided fourth-round value in eight-cat formats, and his nine-cat value is just outside the top-50.
