Due to injuries, Williams has been a must-add player in deep leagues, providing third-round value in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. A hamstring issue is why he appears on the Mavericks’ injury report, but he’s also running out of games as a two-way player. Jaden Hardy (ankle) may return from his ankle injury on Wednesday, which may impact Williams’ availability.

Hardy and Jones have been out with their respective injuries since March 3. Getting them back will give the Mavericks some much-needed depth at their respective positions. Due to Dallas’ lack of healthy bigs, Jones may have a higher fantasy ceiling despite Hardy being the player with a standard contract.

Paul continues to provide valuable leadership for the Spurs, and he finished Monday’s defeat with eight assists. However, the playing time has decreased. Paul has not surpassed 25 minutes in any of his last six appearances and hasn’t played 30 or more since February 25. With Victor Wembanyama and De’Aaron Fox out for the rest of the season and Paul’s minutes decreasing, it’s fair to wonder if he’ll be shut down at some point. However, CP3 is still playing and can provide value in the rebound and assist categories.

Since the All-Star break, Vassell has been a top-50 player in nine-cat while sitting just outside that threshold in eight-cat formats. Monday’s performance was good for the Spurs guard, who scored at least 17 points in three straight and four of his last five outings. As long as Vassell logs starters’ minutes, he’ll remain a valuable player to have rostered. Especially with De’Aaron Fox done for the rest of the season.

Since the Spurs lost De’Aaron Fox to season-ending finger surgery, Castle has averaged 22.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 0.7 steals and 2.0 three-pointers per game as a starter. While the rookie has only been an 11th-round player in eight-cat formats during this three-game stretch, the opportunity is such that Castle should be picked up in standard leagues. He’s at 55 percent rostered in Yahoo! leagues, and the Spurs are scheduled to play three more games during Week 20.

Sochan and Lakers forward Jarred Vanderbilt received their marching orders with 6:27 remaining after getting into an altercation. Sochan responded to a Vanderbilt forearm by hitting him with the ball, and the Lakers forward responded with a shove. Both players were grabbed by their respective teammates but were ejected for their actions. Sochan finished with 15 points, three rebounds, one assist and one three-pointer in 26 minutes.

Davis and Hardy will continue their rehab in the G League, but there’s no timetable for a return to game action with the parent club. With Dallas’ Play-In chances quickly crumbling and no chance to be competitive in the postseason, the Mavs will almost assuredly keep Davis and Hardy sidelined through the end of the 2024-25 campaign.

After scoring 26 points in consecutive games at the beginning of Week 19, Thompson fell into a mini-slump, scoring 19 points on 7-of-25 shooting against the Spurs and Rockets. The veteran sharpshooter found his groove on Sunday, shooting nearly 67 percent from the field and scoring 21 points. Thompson’s situation isn’t the best due to the Mavericks’ many injuries, but he’ll have no problem getting up shots. The problem for fantasy managers is the schedule, as Dallas plays two games during Week 20 and 10 total during weeks 20 through 22.

Unlike Brandon Williams (11/2/2/1/1 in 32 minutes), who remains on a two-way contract, Christie has no such contract concerns. That makes him the superior choice for deep-league fantasy managers despite coming off the bench on Sunday. Neither player should be considered a must-add for Week 20, as the Mavericks only play two games. But if anyone is going to be targeted in deep leagues, it should be Christie before Williams.

Marshall continues to shine for the Mavericks, performing well on Sunday despite PJ Washington returning from a sprained ankle. Naji has scored 20 points or more in two straight and six of his last seven outings, and he has provided top-100 value in eight- and nine-cat formats since the All-Star break. The only issue in the short term is Dallas’ upcoming schedule, as they’ll only play two games during Week 20. Fantasy managers who can afford to hold onto Marshall should strongly consider doing so.
DAL • F • #25

After missing seven games with a sprained ankle, Washington made up for lost time Sunday afternoon. The 29 points were the most he’s scored in a game since January 22, and the double-double was Washington’s first since January 31. Due to the Mavericks’ many injuries and the team still locked in a race for a play-in spot, PJ should have a neon-green light on the offensive end of the floor. That would undoubtedly benefit those who have him rostered, even with the Mavericks only playing two games during Week 20.

Martin has played in the Mavs’ last five games, but he hasn’t been able to make much of an impact in the box score. PJ Washington’s return should help make up for the absence of Martin, but everyone available for Dallas should play a significant role.

Rostered in 36 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Johnson has provided respectable fantasy value since the All-Star break. He has been a 10th-round player in nine-cat formats since the break, averaging 16.6 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.6 three-pointers per game. While Johnson doesn’t possess the upside of teammate Stephon Castle, injuries to other players have made him worthy of a look in 12-team leagues. And the Spurs have a good upcoming schedule, as they’ll play 12 games over weeks 20 through 22.

Like teammate Devin Vassell, Castle did not shoot the ball well on Saturday. The good news for those who have him rostered is that the rookie dished out seven assists, his highest tally since March 1. Since the All-Star break, Castle is ranked just inside the top 200 in eight-cat per-game value. Under normal circumstances, there would be no reason for 54 percent of Yahoo! league managers to roster the rookie. However, with De’Aaron Fox and Victor Wembanyama done for the season, Castle is worth the risk in 12-team leagues.

Vassell’s field goal percentage was subpar, but the overall stat line was one that many fantasy managers would live with. Since the All-Star break, the Spurs wing has been a fourth-round player in nine-cat formats, rewarding those who did not drop Vassell in a panic while he struggled. And with De’Aaron Fox (finger) done for the season, the ball will be in Vassell’s hands more as the Spurs conclude their season. He can potentially be a league-winner, provided the shooting accuracy improves.

Martin’s minutes restriction has increased since his Mavericks debut on March 9. He most recently played 23 minutes in Friday’s loss to the Rockets. Jones has missed the last six games with a strained quad. Getting these two back will improve Dallas’ frontcourt depth, but neither will likely significantly impact fantasy basketball with PJ Washington (ankle) available.

Due to the team’s many injuries, Williams has recently been a key contributor for the Mavericks. A top-50 player since the All-Star break, the two-way contract guard is probable for Sunday’s game.

Washington has missed the Mavericks’ last seven games with a sprained ankle, so Kessler Edwards has been the starter on most nights.

Fantasy managers that dropped Castle after the Spurs acquired De’Aaron Fox must be kicking themselves now. The 20-year-old shooting guard had to hit the bench after San Antonio’s acquisition of Fox. He still had some good games, but his ceiling was certainly lower. Now with Fox out for the rest of the season, Castle will start again and has a chance to be a difference maker down the stretch of the season and in the fantasy playoffs.

Powell replaced Max Christie in the starting five for Friday’s game, and the Mavericks may have been better off sticking with the smaller lineup. The veteran center offered little value in his role, while Christie (two points, four rebounds) shot 1-of-13 from the field. Add in Kessler Edwards (12 points, six rebounds, one steal, four blocks and two three-pointers) having a productive night, and there’s no need to consider streaming Powell for Sunday’s game against the 76ers.

As of Friday night, the Mavericks had not decided on Williams’ contract status. As a two-way player, he is approaching the 50-game maximum for games he has been active in. Williams’ performance against the Rockets and Dante Exum’s exiting with a broken left hand could improve Brandon’s chances of sticking for the remainder of the season. He isn’t worth holding for Dallas’ two-game Week 20, but Williams should be streamed for Sunday’s game against the 76ers.

Inconsistent since the All-Star break, Dinwiddie has been more productive over the Mavericks’ last three games. He scored 20 or more in two outings, including Friday’s loss to the Rockets. Dinwiddie has never been a great player to have rostered in category leagues, but he’s worth the risk currently out of necessity. The Mavericks were already down multiple contributors, and they lost Dante Exum to a broken hand during the first half of Friday’s game. Dinwiddie is worth adding for Sunday’s game against the 76ers, but the Mavericks only play two games during Week 20.

Marshall has been one of the few bright spots for the Mavericks in the disastrous post-trade deadline portion of the schedule. He’s scored 20 points or more in five of his last six outings and has provided seventh-round value in eight- and nine-cat formats. Injuries to multiple players, including PJ Washington and Kyrie Irving, have bolstered Marshall’s value, but he deserves credit for taking advantage of his opportunity. The only negative regarding fantasy basketball is that Dallas only plays two games during Week 20.

Exum injured his hand during the first half of Friday’s game against the Rockets. Unfortunately, that could be his last action of the season, with Charania reporting that Exum suffered a broken bone in his left hand. His absence means more playing time for Spencer Dinwiddie and Brandon Williams. In Williams’ case, he only has a few games remaining on his two-way contract. The Mavericks must give him an extended deal to ensure he’s available for all their remaining games.

Fox scored at least 30 points for the first time in 17 games since he was acquired by the Spurs before the trade deadline.

Fox played 41 minutes Wednesday, but he had played less than 30 minutes in two of the previous four games.

Vassell had been quieter over San Antonio’s last two games after scoring 37 points last week, but he got back on track as a scoring option on Monday. His slump appears to be over, and he has contributed value in other areas, which has helped his fantasy impact. He has averaged 18.5 points, five rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.6 steals and 2.8 three-pointers per game over the last two weeks, which ranks inside the top-40 in nine-cat scoring. He should continue to be a strong option for the rest of the season.

Johnson came up big in the second half of Monday’s game, scoring 20 of his 28 points after the break. That wasn’t enough for San Antonio to get the win, but he did tie his season-high for scoring, which he has now reached three times this season. Johnson isn’t a great option in category formats, but he is more than capable of getting hot and knocking down a ton of shots. They play Dallas again on Wednesday, and Johnson will look to keep the offensive production going.

Despite being a consistent starter, Barnes has been a non-factor in fantasy basketball this season. He’s an efficient player that can hit some three-pointers, but he doesn’t help in any individual category. However, he was unconscious as a scorer in Monday’s loss. His two missed field goal attempts were both three-pointers, meaning he made all eight of his two-point attempts. He didn’t enjoy that same success at the free throw line as he made just one of his three shots. This was an excellent performance from him, but there is a reason that he is rostered in just 13 percent of Yahoo! leagues despite playing 27.4 minutes per game.

Castle has scored 20 points or more in five of his last six appearances, and Sunday’s performance was efficient. The rookie guard did not commit a turnover in his 28 minutes on the floor, the second time he’s done so since the All-Star break. While the weekend in San Francisco may have worn Castle down some, he’s bounced back from a slow start to the “second half.” Rostered in 46 percent of Yahoo! leagues, the Spurs guard has been a 10th-round player in eight- and nine-cat formats over his last six.

Fox had a good night shooting the basketball, making 66.7 percent of his attempts. However, it wasn’t enough to keep the Spurs from getting blitzed in Minneapolis, the team’s seventh loss in nine games. While there may be a desire to give Fox all the time he needs to place his imprint on the roster, it’s fair to wonder if the Spurs will either decrease his minutes or hold him out of the occasional game as the season winds down.
