Mavericks' Brandon Williams: Iffy for Thursday
Williams is questionable for Thursday's game against the Magic due to low back tightness.
Williams finished with 22 points (7-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-8 FT), three rebounds, two steals and one rebound across 28 minutes in Tuesday's 128-113 loss to the Knicks, but he continues to deal with a back injury, so his status for this matchup is uncertain. Williams has been playing well on an expanded role in recent weeks, however, averaging 17.4 points, 3.7 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game in nine outings since the beginning of March.

Mavericks' Caleb Martin: Questionable for Thursday
Martin (hip) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Magic.
Martin has missed five games in a row due to a right hip strain, and while the questionable tag sheds some light on his potential availability, a decision on his status will be made closer to Thursday's 7 p.m. ET tipoff. He's been limited to just five appearances since the All-Star break, so he doesn't have a lot of fantasy upside regardless of the format of your league.

Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Remains out for Thursday
Washington (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Magic.
Washington will miss a second straight game for the Mavericks while nursing a sprained left ankle. Dallas will likely continue to lean on Naji Marshall to shoulder the load in the frontcourt in Orlando.

Mavericks' Anthony Davis: Questionable against Orlando
Davis (adductor) has been listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Magic.
After missing Tuesday's loss to the Knicks, Davis has a chance to play Thursday in Orlando. The superstar big man finished with 12 points, six rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block in the win over the Nets on Monday after missing 18 straight games for Dallas with an adductor injury.

Mavericks' Brandon Williams: Produces well in expanded minutes
Williams (back) finished with 22 points (7-11 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-8 FT), three rebounds, two steals and one rebound across 28 minutes in Tuesday's 128-113 loss to the Knicks.
Listed as questionable heading into the day while he managed lower-back tightness, Williams was cleared shortly before tipoff and ended up taking on a heightened role on offense while Anthony Davis (adductor) and P.J. Washington (ankle) sat out the second half of a back-to-back set. Both players could return to action Thursday in Orlando, so Williams will likely be headed for a downturn in playmaking opportunities after he ranked second on the Mavericks in usage (28.5 percent) on Tuesday. Dallas could even make Williams inactive Thursday, as he's able to suit up in just two more games for Dallas over the rest of the season while he remains signed to a two-way contract. As such, the Mavericks could be selective with when they choose to make Williams available over their final nine games.

Mavericks' Kessler Edwards: Poor numbers in spot start
Edwards was charged with a foul and logged four rebounds while recording no other statistics over 19 minutes in Tuesday's 128-113 loss to the Knicks.
After he was inactive for the Mavericks' previous two contests, Edwards returned to action Tuesday and moved into the starting five while Anthony Davis (adductor) rested for the second leg of a back-to-back set. Edwards offered limited production during his time on the court, and it's now likely that he's made his last appearance of the season for Dallas. He's now been active for 50 games at the NBA level this season, the maximum amount allotted to players on two-way contracts. Due to their salary-cap situation, the Mavericks are unable to sign Edwards or one of their other two-way players (Brandon Williams and Kai Jones) to a standard NBA contract until April 10, when the team will only have two games left in the regular season. Edwards will likely continue to play with the G League's Texas Legends in the meantime, but if his time with Dallas is in fact over, he'll finish the season with averages of 4.2 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 0.6 three-pointers in 15.2 minutes per contest over 40 appearances.

Mavericks' Klay Thompson: Muted performance in loss
Thompson provided six points (2-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one assist in 22 minutes during Tuesday's 128-113 loss to the Knicks.
Thompson is trending in the wrong direction for Dallas, and he couldn't take advantage of the extra usage with Anthony Davis taking the night off. Over his last five games, Thompson has been shooting 33.8 percent from the field for 12.0 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.6 three-pointers in 27.5 minutes.

Mavericks' Jaden Hardy: Shines off bench
Hardy closed with 15 points (7-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two rebounds and two steals across 23 minutes during Tuesday's 128-113 loss to New York.
With Anthony Davis getting the night off for injury maintenance, Hardy was able to soak up some extra reps off the bench. He had scored a combined four points in 23 minutes of his previous two contests, so fantasy managers will need to see this kind of production when the Mavericks are closer to full strength to warrant a pickup in most cases.

Mavericks' Max Christie: Struggles continue Tuesday
Christie closed Tuesday's 128-113 loss to the Knicks with six points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal over 31 minutes.
Christie ended with another unproductive showing, scoring single digits for the fourth time in the past seven games. Despite playing a sizeable role for his new team, Christie has been underwhelming, to say the least. He has averaged 30.8 minutes per game over the past 16 games, putting up 9.0 points, 0.9 steals and 1.6 three-pointers.

Mavericks' Dwight Powell: Logs 21 minutes in loss
Powell had four points (1-2 FG, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals over 21 minutes during Tuesday's 128-113 loss to New York.
Powell delivered another underwhelming performance, scoring single digits for the sixth straight game. In fact, to this point, he has scored double-digits only once all season, averaging 2.2 points and 2.3 rebounds in 10.1 minutes per game.

Mavericks' Naji Marshall: Scores career-high 38 points
Marshall finished Tuesday's 128-113 loss to the Knicks with 38 points (17-25 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-5 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal over 38 minutes.
Marshall continued his breakout season, going off to the tune of 38 points, marking a career high. The Mavericks have fumbled their way through an injury-ravaged season, forcing Marshall into a sizeable role. In 26 games over the past two months, he is averaging 16.7 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.0 three-pointers in 30.0 minutes per contest. If the season were to end today, these would be by far the best numbers of his career.

Mavericks' Kessler Edwards: Starting sans Davis
Edwards will start in Tuesday's game against the Knicks, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.
The two-way forward will receive the starting nod due to Anthony Davis (thigh) being sidelined. Edwards has been inactive for the club's last two outings, as he is one matchup away from reaching the maximum number of games allotted to two-way players. After Tuesday's game, the 24-year-old is expected to rejoin the club's G League affiliate, the Texas Legends, for the remainder of its season. However, the Mavericks could sign Edwards to a standard contract starting April 10, so there remains a possibility that he could suit up for the parent club again this year.

Mavericks' Naji Marshall: Back in first unit Tuesday
Marshall is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Knicks, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.
With P.J. Washington (ankle) and Anthony Davis (adductor) both sidelined, Marshall will get a chance to rejoin the starting group Tuesday. The move to the first unit should give Marshall plenty of streaming appeal, as he's averaged 22.7 points, 8.7 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.3 steals in 36.8 minutes over nine games as a starter this month.

Mavericks' Brandon Williams: Good to go Tuesday
Williams (back) is available for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.
Williams will suit up for a third consecutive contest after being listed on the injury report due to lower back tightness. The two-way guard has received increased playing time of late due to several injuries to key contributors, and over his last five outings (one start), he has averaged 15.4 points, 3.8 assists, 3.4 rebounds and 1.4 steals across 24.6 minutes per contest.

Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Won't play vs. New York
Washington (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.
Washington won't be in the lineup for the Mavericks on Wednesday while dealing with a sprained left ankle. Naji Marshall will likely get the starting nod in New York, with Max Christie, Klay Thompson and Kessler Edwards potentially getting more minutes on the floor to help pick up the slack.

Mavericks' Brandon Williams: Questionable Tuesday
Williams (back) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.
Williams is being listed on the Mavericks' injury report for the third straight game due to lower back tightness. Though he was able to play 18 and 19 minutes in both of the past two contests, Williams could be a candidate to sit Tuesday in the second leg of a back-to-back set. A two-way player, Williams is eligible to be active for just three games at the NBA level for the rest of the season, so the Mavericks could opt to give him a breather Tuesday in order to manage his games count.

Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Iffy for Tuesday
Washington (ankle) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.
Following a seven-game absence due to a left ankle sprain, Washington appeared in each of the last four contests, logging at least 30 minutes on each occasion. While Washington isn't dealing with any reported setbacks with the ankle, the Mavericks are heading into a back-to-back set for the first time since his return, and he could be in line for a maintenance day after handling a 31-minute workload in Monday's 120-101 win over the Nets. With Anthony Davis (adductor) already ruled out Tuesday, the Mavericks would likely lean more heavily on Naji Marshall, Max Christie, Klay Thompson and Kessler Edwards to fill minutes at forward if Washington also ends up sitting.

Mavericks' Caleb Martin: Another absence coming
Martin (hip) will not play Tuesday against the Knicks.
Martin will miss his fifth consecutive contest due to a right hip strain, an injury that previously kept him out for nearly two months before he made his Mavericks debut earlier this month. The Mavericks will continue to evaluate Martin on a game-by-game basis, but the team hasn't provided an indication regarding whether or not he's on track to play during its ongoing four-game road trip.

Mavericks' Anthony Davis: Confirmed out Tuesday
Davis (adductor) won't play Tuesday against the Knicks.
In his return during Monday's 120-101 win over the Nets following an 18-game absence due to a left adductor strain, Davis logged 12 points (6-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block across 27 minutes. He'll sit out the second leg of the Mavericks' back-to-back set, but assuming he experienced no setbacks coming out of Monday's game, he should be ready to play again Thursday in Orlando.
