For the third time in his last four games, Washington was able to record a double-double. During this stretch, he is averaging 18 points, 9.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.3 blocks per game. He hasn’t shot efficiently, but the counting stats have been there, which has been helpful with Anthony Davis (calf) sidelined. Washington should continue to be a solid producer, but if AD is back to take on the Bucks on Monday, Washington’s value will take a hit.

Washington followed up his 29-point performance against the Rockets on Monday with a double-double in the loss to the Pelicans on Wednesday. The 27-year-old power forward had 15 points on 13 shots and grabbed 11 rebounds. Without Anthony Davis available, Washington will continue to see increased usage as he did last year when the Mavericks also dealt with a number of injuries.

After two straight poor shooting night which yielded a total of 15 points from Washington, he got back on track in a big way against Houston. He shattered his previous season-high of 18 points and recorded his first double-double of the year. Washington won’t have nights like this one often, but it was a strong performance from him. He’s now currently averaging a career-high in points, rebounds, assists and blocks, though that likely won’t continue. Still, it shows how his usage has increased with Kyrie Irving and Anthony Davis both sidelined.

With the Mavericks currently without Dereck Lively II and Daniel Gafford, they’ve needed Washington to step up defensively and on the glass. He’s grabbed at least nine rebounds in three of his last four, including a season-high 11 on Wednesday. Also, the Mavericks lost Anthony Davis (leg) during the first quarter, impacting Washington’s role and value. While he’s ranked well outside the top-150 in nine-cat formats, that’s due to an average of 3.0 turnovers per game. Washington, rostered in 41 percent of Yahoo! leagues, will be worth a look in standard leagues if Davis joins Lively and Gafford on the sideline.

Most of this stat line was fine for Washington. Three defensive stats, one rebound away from a double-double, efficient shooting. However, he fell one turnover shy of matching his career-high, which is never a benchmark anyone wants to approach. He only had two turnovers in the season opener, so this shouldn’t be a consistent issue for Washington. He’ll look to get back on track on Sunday against the Raptors.

Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd’s decision to start Cooper Flagg at point guard resulted in Washington moving into the starting lineup as part of a “jumbo” lineup. He was productive, finishing a steal shy of a complete stat line. Washington showed that he can provide solid fantasy value when allowed to start, but it’s fair to wonder how long that will last. Dallas didn’t just lose Wednesday’s game; it lost by 33 points. And there were clear signs that the team needed a traditional point guard on the floor to help the offense run smoothly. Returning to the bench would negatively impact Washington’s fantasy value, even if his minutes didn’t take much of a hit.

As reported on Wednesday afternoon, Flagg will start at point guard in his official NBA debut. The Mavericks will use a “jumbo” starting lineup, with Washington starting at the three and point guard D’Angelo Russell coming off the bench. Washington’s fantasy ceiling is raised with the starting opportunity, while Russell remains a hold with Kyrie Irving (knee) unavailable.

With D’Angelo Russell out against the Jazz, Washington gets the spot start in the Mavericks’ third preseason game alongside Flagg, Davis, Lively II and Klay Thompson. The super-sized starting unit could allow Flagg, the 2025 first-overall pick, to get reps as the team’s point guard. He’s scored in double figures in each of the first two preseason games and displayed rebounding and playmaking abilities in his minutes.

After serving as a full-time starter over his first two seasons with the Mavericks, Washington came off the bench in Dallas’ preseason opener. The veteran forward was productive in his new role, finishing as one of the team’s scoring leaders against the Thunder, despite logging limited minutes. Washington will likely remain as a reserve frontcourt player to begin the regular season, as he backs up Cooper Flagg. Still, he should play valuable minutes and could function as one of the more reliable second-unit players in the league.

It had been reported recently that the two sides were highly interested in getting a deal done this offseason, so Wednesday’s development is unsurprising. Washington was headed into the final season of his current deal, so the move solidifies his immediate future in Dallas as the Mavericks build around a core that now includes first overall pick Cooper Flagg. In his first full season with the team, Washington averaged 14.7 points, 7.8 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.1 steals, 1.1 blocks and 1.6 three-pointers per game. With the addition of Flagg, Washington will likely come off the bench, but he’s still capable of offering solid fantasy value as a versatile frontcourt option.

This was not the way Washington wanted to end his season, but he wasn’t alone. Both he and Dereck Lively II were held scoreless in this game despite both playing more than 20 minutes. Washington missed all five of his shot attempts, while Lively missed each of his two shots. Both found other ways to contribute in the box score, but this was an abysmal offensive performance for them. Washington and Lively will both be starters for Dallas again next season, and this one game isn’t enough for managers to be concerned about them next year, especially with Kyrie Irving coming back.

Washington and Martin have been upgraded from probable to available, and both played in Friday’s loss to the Clippers. Their roles should not change much, if at all. Washington will remain in the starting lineup, with Martin likely playing around 20 minutes off the bench.

Washington played 28 minutes in the first leg of the Mavericks’ back-to-back set with the Clippers, though he may have played more if it wasn’t a blowout. He should continue to start and play a large role in the rematch.

Washington will be back after a one-game absence, which means he will push Naji Marshall back to the bench. However, with Anthony Davis questionable, Marshall will have a chance to remain a starter even with Washington back.

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.

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. Washington has maintained his production even while playing alongside Anthony Davis. While he benefited from all the injuries the Mavericks have dealt with this season, Washington is a solid player who can still be counted on with Davis back.

Washington has missed two straight and is in danger of missing a third. If he’s sidelined, Naji Marshall should see additional playing time. Davis should be available and should see close to 30 minutes after logging 29 in his last game out.

Washington’s absence should mean increased playing time for Naji Marshall. Williams should see meaningful minutes and is worth streaming if you need him. He’s averaged 16.9 points, 4.0 rebounds and 4.8 assists across 26.9 minutes over his last eight games, including two starts.

Washington has been one of the Mavericks’ most productive scorers since returning from injury, while Brandon Williams has been demoted to a bench role. Naji Marshall could be poised to return to the starting lineup if Washington and Davis are ruled out. Jaden Hardy could benefit from Williams missing some time.

Washington sprained his right ankle during the second quarter of Monday’s game. While he did leave the game briefly, the Mavericks forward was on the court for the start of the third. This injury may cast some doubt on Washington’s availability for Tuesday’s game against the Knicks, especially with Anthony Davis (groin) not expected to play. That match is the first of three games the Mavericks will play to conclude Week 21.

Washington has scored at least 26 points in three straight games. With all the injuries the Mavericks are dealing with, the 26-year-old power forward has become the primary offensive option by default. Washington is set up nicely for this to continue in Week 21 as Dallas has four games coming up next week.

Washington had 29 points on Sunday in his return from an ankle injury. With the Mavericks missing so many players, he continues to be a primary option on the offensive end. The 26-year-old power forward had 26 points Wednesday as he led Dallas in points and shot attempts. That should be a common occurrence until the Mavericks have some players return from injury.

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.

Washington has missed the Mavericks’ last seven games with a sprained ankle, so Kessler Edwards has been the starter on most nights. If Washington is available, either he or Naji Marshall will return to the bench. Marshall offers a higher fantasy ceiling than Edwards, whether he starts or comes off the bench.

Washington has missed the Mavs’ last five games, but an upgrade to questionable is a step in the right direction. He will certainly return to the starting lineup when he is cleared to play, and if that happens on Wednesday, Kessler Edwards or Naji Marshall will likely be pushed to the bench.

This will be a third-straight absence for Washington, which should lead to another start for Naji Marshall, who contributed 22 points, 10 rebounds, two assists and two there-pointers in 32 minutes against Milwaukee on Wednesday. Marshall is worth rostering as long as Washington is sidelined.
