Washington had a solid night’s worth of production on Monday, as he shot efficiently from the floor on relatively limited shot attempts. He still converted over half of his looks to fall just short of the 20-point mark and tied a team-high in made three-pointers. There was nothing spectacular about Washington’s numbers from a fantasy standpoint, but he had a decent final line, all things considered.

Flagg put together another balanced performance on Monday. In the loss, he shot the ball fairly well from the field before finishing as one of two Mavericks to score at least 20 points, and led all Dallas players in rebounds in the process. The do-it-all rookie forward was also productive as a passer against the Pelicans before the final horn sounded. Add in his three stocks, and he comes away with a productive night from a fantasy standpoint.

Marshall led all scores in Monday’s Mavericks-Pelicans matchup, as he finished with a season-high in shot attempts. He reached the 30-point mark for the sixth time this season and also came up just a couple of rebounds and a few assists shy of a triple-double. Marshall has taken a big step on the offensive end this season in what’s been a career-best year for him. There’s no reason for fantasy managers to expect a role change or sudden dip in production down the stretch of the season.

Williams played just five minutes before having to leave Monday’s game after taking a shot to the side of the head. Starting point guard Ryan Nembhard may see his playing time increase with Williams done for the night, giving his value a slight boost.

Martin is a late addition to the injury report, and he could sit out the second leg of Dallas’ back-to-back set. If that happens, more minutes should be available for Khris Middleton, Naji Marshall and Brandon Williams.

Thompson sat out Sunday, and he’s expected to miss both legs of Dallas’ back-to-back set. His absence won’t have a significant impact on fantasy basketball, given Thompson’s role with the rebuilding Mavs.

Gafford is expected to miss a third straight game, and Marvin Bagley III could see an uptick in playing time as a result. Bagley III started the first of Gafford’s absences and came off the bench in his last game out. Dallas may go with P.J. Washington at center again, giving Washington a boost against New Orleans.

After sitting out Friday’s loss to the Cavaliers, Washington was one of the difference-makers in Sunday’s rematch. Not only did he record his first 20-point game since February 22, but he also finished with his first 20-point double-double since mid-December. Add in the defensive stats, headlined by five steals, and this was an excellent end to Week 20 for Washington. However, with the Mavericks playing on Monday, a three-game Week 21 could be two for P.J.

Flagg’s double-double on Sunday was his tenth of the season, and second in his last four games. Add in the rebounds and assists, and this was a very good performance for the rookie. However, the upcoming schedule is a concern. Dallas plays three games in Week 21, starting with the Pelicans on Monday. Flagg played both games of the Mavericks’ most recent back-to-back, but that isn’t guaranteed to be the case this time around.

Marshall was one of three Mavericks starters in double figures as they avenged Friday’s loss to the Cavaliers. While his scoring output was excellent, fantasy managers with Marshall on their rosters will also be pleased with the rebounds and assists. He hasn’t been the best category-league option, but Naji’s role has made him worth the risk in 12-team leagues. The Mavericks begin a three-game Week 21 on Monday in New Orleans.

Washington is back after missing Friday’s loss to the Cavaliers. However, he replaces Marvin Bagley III in the starting lineup, serving as the small-ball center. Nembhard gets another start, which is good news for those who streamed him on Friday.

Martin is good to go after initially being listed as probable. While he may pick up a few more minutes off the bench, his availability does not affect fantasy basketball.

While Thompson’s absence does not affect fantasy basketball, Gafford’s absence means Marvin Bagley III will remain in the starting lineup. Bagley is worth streaming as long as he’s allowed to start.

Washington is on track to play after sitting out Friday’s loss to the Cavaliers. His return would likely push Ryan Nembhard to the bench, eliminating most of the rookie’s streaming value.

Martin is back on the injury report due to a sprained finger on his right hand, but the probable tag suggests that he’ll be available. While the veteran forward provides depth on the wing, especially with Klay Thompson (rest) unlikely to play, there isn’t much to gain in fantasy leagues from rostering Martin.

After sitting out Thursday’s win over the Grizzlies, Thompson returned on Friday and played 16 minutes in a loss to the Cavaliers. Sunday’s rematch is the first of two games in as many nights for the Mavericks, so the veteran guard is likely to miss at least one.

Gafford did not play in Friday’s loss to the Cavaliers, and he’s on track to miss Sunday’s rematch as well. Marvin Bagley III would get a second consecutive start, and he would be someone worth streaming for Sunday’s action.

For the first time since a January 10 loss to the Bulls, Nembhard was back in the Mavericks’ starting lineup on Friday. The rookie guard logged 27 minutes, the most in a game for him since that start against Chicago. While it’s challenging to put complete trust in Nembhard, even with the nine assists, he’ll have value for deep-league managers seeking assists during the silly season.

After failing to crack the 20-point threshold in any of his prior five appearances, Flagg did so on Friday. The rookie recorded 25 points on good percentages, and category league managers will be pleased with the five assists as well. Dallas plays once more in Week 20, a Sunday rematch with the Cavaliers in Cleveland.

The Mavericks are without P.J. Washington and Daniel Gafford for Friday’s game, freeing two spots in the starting lineup. Nembhard and Bagley move into the starting five, with the latter offering a higher short-term fantasy ceiling.

The Mavericks will be down two frontcourt starters for Friday’s game, as Washington and Gafford will not play the second game of the team’s back-to-back. Marvin Bagley III and Khris Middleton are potential replacements in the starting lineup, and both players would receive boosts to their fantasy values if promoted.

Thompson will return for the second leg of Dallas’ back-to-back set after resting on Thursday. He could be in line for some additional run with P.J. Washington (ankle) doubtful, but Thompson’s production has been hit-or-miss for most of the 2025-26 campaign.

Gafford continues to play some of his best ball of the season, posting a season-high in points on Thursday en route to a fourth straight double-double. The veteran center has been limited by injuries throughout the season, but is in good form as the fantasy basketball playoffs near. For those looking to take a low-risk, potentially high-reward swing, Gafford is rostered in only 26% of Yahoo! leagues.

Flagg was held under 20 points for the fifth straight game on Thursday, shooting below 40.0 percent from the field for a second consecutive time. The rookie forward has remained in a shooting slump since returning in early March from a foot sprain. He did, however, notch at least five rebounds and assists for the fifth time in as many games. But while his well-roundedness has provided a solid floor, fantasy managers hope he can find his touch and deliver some efficient, high-scoring performances.

The veteran forward stole the show against Memphis, needing only 25 minutes off the bench to set a new season-high in points. The near-40-point outing came on efficient shooting, with a spectacular three-point display the key to his success. Thursday marked the first time he’d reached 30 points in a regular-season game since the 2022-23 season, when he was still playing for the Bucks. Middleton has now logged back-to-back games of at least 15 points and will have a chance to land a third on Friday against the Cavaliers.

As expected, Thompson will miss the first leg of this back-to-back, though he should return to play the Cavaliers on Friday. Caleb Martin should take on extra minutes off the bench, though he isn’t a strong fantasy option.
