Washington’s absence on Thursday will mark his second straight for the Mavericks, who will look to win their third straight game when taking on the Jazz. Naji Marshall replaced Washington in the starting unit in the team’s most recent game and will likely make another spot start.

Washington did not play in Tuesday’s win over the Kings, which moved Naji Marshall into the starting lineup. That should remain the case on Thursday, with Marshall’s fantasy ceiling being raised.

While Washington was present at Dallas’ pregame shootaround, he was still listed as doubtful for Tuesday’s game with a sprained right ankle. He’s officially out, which could result in Naji Marshall moving into the starting lineup. Marshall started the second half of Saturday’s win over the Rockets, and he would be worth streaming if allowed to start.

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.

Washington was back in the Mavericks’ lineup after sitting out Tuesday’s win over the Nuggets, and he made up for lost time with his fourth double-double of the season. All that his stat line was missing on Thursday was a three-pointer, a somewhat surprising development since he averages 1.5 per game on the season. Depending on what happens with Anthony Davis, who left the game with a groin injury, Washington could figure even more prominently in the Mavericks’ offense in the short term.

Washington was a game-time call after missing Tuesday’s win over the Nuggets. His return means that Jaden Hardy will head back to the bench after logging 28 minutes against Denver, eliminating most of his streaming value.

Washington missed Tuesday’s game against the Nuggets with a knee injury, joining Klay Thompson and Max Christie on the sidelines. With that trio out Tuesday, Caleb Martin played 25 minutes off the bench in the win over the Nuggets. Washington has a chance to return Thursday, which would squeeze Martin for minutes.

Washington will be sidelined for the second leg of this back-to-back, which leaves Dallas thin at forward. The combination of Washington, Klay Thompson (knee) and Max Christie (illness) being sidelined should open up a ton of extra minutes for Caleb Martin and could result in him starting.

Washington is dealing with right midfoot soreness, and he’ll get a questionable tag for the second leg of Dallas’ back-to-back set. If Washington is unable to go, Naji Marshall could see additional minutes, making him a favorable streaming candidate on Tuesday.

Washington filled the scoring and rebounding void that Anthony Davis (calf) left behind on Monday in his absence. The veteran forward produced mostly inside the arc en route to his first 20-point game of December, with his double-digit rebounds leading to double-double No. 3 on the season. His scoring total was second on the team behind Cooper Flagg’s 42 points, with the two combining for over half of the Mavericks’ points in the loss. Washington has had a good year, but his production has reached another level recently when Davis hasn’t been in uniform. If Davis is out again on Thursday against Detroit, expect Washington to put up good numbers.

While other Mavericks were more impactful as scorers, Washington recorded a complete stat line in Friday’s victory. And with Dereck Lively II (foot) done for the season, he stands to receive even more opportunities to provide solid fantasy value. Providing close to top-50 value over the past two weeks, Washington is now a top-100 player for the season. Rostered in 46 percent of Yahoo! leagues, P.J. is worth grabbing in 12-team leagues due to the opportunity that’s in front of him.

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.

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 is available after a four-game absence with a sprained right ankle. If he starts, Naji Marshall will be pushed to the bench, where his fantasy value takes a slight hit. That said, Marshall should still play plenty due to injuries to other Mavericks players.

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.

Washington will miss a third straight game after spraining his right ankle ahead of Saturday’s win over the Clippers. Naji Marshall has been the replacement in the starting lineup, which has raised his fantasy ceiling. At a minimum, he should already be rostered in 14-team leagues. If not, pick him up.

Washington has missed Dallas’ last two games with a sprained right ankle, opening up a place in the starting lineup for Naji Marshall. Marshall has offered solid late-round value this season, due in part to the many injuries that have affected the Mavericks’ rotation. He’s worth holding onto for the time being, even if Washington plays.

Initially questionable for Monday night, Washington will miss a second straight game after spraining his right ankle just before Saturday’s win over the Clippers. Naji Marshall replaced him in the lineup for that contest, and this may also be the case for Monday night. If so, that would raise Marshall’s fantasy ceiling.

Washington was a late scratch on Saturday after landing on a loose ball during warmups. Naji Marshall started in his place and would likely be in line for another start if Washington is unable to suit up. Marshall logged 37 minutes as a starter and would be worth streaming if Washington remains out.

Washington suffered a freak injury before Saturday’s game, landing on a loose ball during pregame warmups. Initially considered questionable, he has officially been ruled out. Naji Marshall moved into the starting lineup, giving his fantasy value a boost. He’ll be worth streaming if Washington misses additional time.

Washington has started every game but one for the Mavericks this season. While his fantasy value remains relatively low, the availability has given his rostership a slight boost. Rostered in 46 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Washington has provided seventh-round fantasy value in nine-cat formats over the past two weeks. And with Anthony Davis set to miss Saturday’s game against the Clippers, it wouldn’t be a bad idea for some managers in 12-team formats to stream Washington.

Washington was Dallas’ most productive player on Monday. He was the only one to score at least 20 points, and was one of three players on Dallas to pour in three makes from beyond the arc. The veteran forward also excelled on defense, accounting for nearly half of the team’s blocks. With Anthony Davis’ return seemingly near, it’ll be interesting to see whether Washington’s performance is affected. He’s averaging 22.0 points, 8.3 rebounds and 3.0 threes over the past three games.

Washington appeared to tweak something in his lower back on a shot attempt with just under five minutes remaining in the fourth quarter of Saturday’s game, immediately heading back to the locker room after exiting. The good news is that he was back on the bench for the finish. With Anthony Davis (calf) essentially out indefinitely, Washington has added value, even if his game isn’t exactly “fantasy-friendly.” Hopefully, his name won’t show up on the injury report for Monday’s game against the Heat.

With less than one week until Thanksgiving, Washington set the table early with a stat sheet-stuffing performance for fantasy managers as he drained five three-pointers and gobbled up nine rebounds, falling just shy of his third double-double of the season. The 27-year-old sharpshooter did most of his damage in the early stages of this one as he notched 14 points in the first half, but he managed to come up with a clutch rebound in the final seconds to deny the Pelicans any opportunity to hoist a potential game-tying shot at the buzzer.

Washington was one of three Mavericks starters to score at least 20 points in Sunday’s overtime victory, a step in the right direction for the forward. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, P.J. hasn’t benefited from the injuries to other Mavericks frontcourt players in terms of value. Rostered in 42 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Washington is ranked well outside the top-150 in nine-cat formats. However, Dallas’ four-game Week 5 makes him worth holding onto in deep leagues, especially with Anthony Davis still out.
