Washington sprained his left ankle late in Tuesday’s win over the Nets. Caleb Martin could be moved into the starting lineup, and that’s before considering Khris Middleton (shoulder) being questionable for Thursday night. If Middleton joins Washington on the sidelines, Tyus Jones, Brandon Williams, and Klay Thompson could be in the mix to start.

Washington hobbled off the court after appearing to sprain his left ankle with just over one minute remaining in the fourth quarter. He’s one of the Mavericks players who have struggled to stay healthy this season, and the most recent injury could cost him some time. Dallas plays three games over the final four days of Week 18, starting with a back-to-back on Thursday and Friday against the Kings and Grizzlies. If Washington has to miss time, Caleb Martin (three points, five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 23 minutes) may be the replacement in the starting lineup.

After struggling with his shot in Friday’s loss to the Timberwolves, Washington was much better against the Pacers. In addition to recording his first 20-point game since January 28, the Mavericks’ forward recorded a complete stat line. Due to Dallas’ injuries, particularly Cooper Flagg’s, Washington has a higher fantasy ceiling. However, he’s rarely made good on that promise, with Sunday’s performance being an exception. Dallas begins a four-game Week 18 on Tuesday against the Nets.

While Washington did record his fifth double-double of the season, the poor percentages removed most of the luster from his final stat line. And that’s been an issue for the Mavericks’ forward. Over the past month, Washington has shot 39.8 percent from the field and 56.5 percent from the foul line. And with his numbers being modest on most nights, the only reason why Washington remains rostered in 42 percent of Yahoo! leagues is Dallas’ depleted rotation.

Washington took an inadvertent shot to the head from a teammate early in the fourth quarter of Saturday’s game and exited shortly thereafter. He’s been diagnosed with a head contusion; hopefully, the forward doesn’t have to enter the league’s concussion protocol. Dallas opens a three-game Week 16 on Tuesday against the Celtics.

Washington was moved into the starting lineup on Wednesday, as the Mavericks were without Cooper Flagg (ankle). He filled in admirably for the rookie, recording his first 20-point game since December 15. While Washington has not been a top-100 player this season, he isn’t far off, and the forward is capable of stepping up when the Mavericks are shorthanded. Dallas plays two more games in Week 15, and they’re likely to get Flagg back for Thursday’s game against the Hornets.

The Mavericks won’t have Cooper Flagg for Thursday’s game, which is their first of two in as many nights. As a result, Washington returns to the starting lineup, while Gafford replaces Dwight Powell. Also, Marshall will have a higher fantasy ceiling because Dallas is light on healthy playmakers.

Active after missing the previous three games, Washington was used in a reserve role on Thursday. The forward played 22 minutes, eight shy of the limit set by the team. Washington didn’t have a prolific scoring night, but he filled up the stat sheet, which was excellent for those who have him rostered in category leagues. Caleb Martin remained in the starting lineup but only played 19 minutes, going scoreless with two rebounds, one assist and two blocked shots. Those who streamed Martin when Washington was unavailable can move on.

Thursday’s game is the second in as many nights for the Mavericks, so Washington will not play for injury management reasons. Already a solid streaming option, Naji Marshall becomes even more attractive to fantasy managers. More scoring opportunities will also be available to Klay Thompson due to how shorthanded the Mavericks are.

Washington missed four games with an ankle injury but then was able to return on Wednesday and play 31 minutes against the Nuggets. The Mavericks may choose to sit him for the second leg of a back-to-back, which would open up more minutes for Dwight Powell and Klay Thompson.

Monday’s game against the Nets will be the fourth that Washington has missed with a sprained right ankle. Based on Kidd’s pregame comments, the Mavericks forward will miss at least three more. With Washington off the board for Week 13 and Anthony Davis (hand) also out, deep-league managers should strongly consider adding Naji Marshall if he’s sitting on the waiver wire.

Washington has missed Dallas’s last three games with a sprained ankle. With Anthony Davis sidelined for at least six weeks, Naji Marshall and Ryan Nembhard will likely be in the starting lineup if P.J. remains out.

Washington exited early from Saturday’s game against Houston and is expected to remain out against Sacramento. Naji Marshall started the second half of that game in his place and should remain in that role against the Kings. Marshall typically shines as a starter and should be streamed in that role.

Washington sprained his right ankle during the first quarter of Saturday’s game and has since been ruled out for the rest of the night. While Dwight Powell may enter the rotation, the Mavericks could choose to finish Saturday’s game with an eight-man rotation. There’s no need to add Powell following Saturday’s game.

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.
