Marquese Chriss Makes Final Cut
Marquese Chriss made the cut for the regular season roster, according to Shams Charania. Chriss played very well in the preseason and the Warriors will need him to open the season. Willie Cauley-Stein (foot) is sidelined, so there will be minutes for Chriss in the rotation. He's more of a deep league guy than anything else, but we'll see what Chriss can do. Alfonzo McKinnie has been waived by the team, clearing room for Chriss on the roster.

Marquese Chriss Heading Back To Houston
Marquese Chriss to Houston in exchange for Christian Wood. The Rockets are also receiving Trey Burke, Sterling Brown, Boban Marjanovic, and the No. 26 overall selection in the NBA Draft. Chriss hasn't lived up to expectations since entering the league back in 2016 and finished last season by averaging only 4.5 points and 3.0 rebounds. It's unlikely the 24-year-old will receive much work during his second stint in Houston, so unless he gets more playing time, he won't have much value for managers in any fantasy format.

Marquese Chriss Not Available Against Sacramento
Marquese Chriss (knee) won't suit up against the Kings on Saturday. This is hardly a surprise, primarily since the 24-year-old has been out since mid-February because of right knee soreness. However, the Mavs will also be without Maxi Kleber (foot), who will miss his second consecutive game, so the team will unquestionably look to Dwight Powell and Davis Bertans to fill the void. Powell has a higher ceiling. Yet, Bertans can surprise managers if he can get minutes versus Sacramento, which is possible if Luka Doncic (toe), Trey Burke (shoulder), and Sterling Brown (illness) don't play.

Marquese Chriss Won't Play Versus The Clippers
Marquese Chriss (knee) won't be in the lineup on Saturday for the rematch with the Clippers. The 24-year-old is dealing with right knee soreness, an injury that forced him to leave Thursday's game early. Chriss has averaged five points and nearly four boards per outing since joining the team, and while he doesn't play a ton, his absence should open up more minutes for Maxi Kleber and Dwight Powell, making them both a bit more relevant from a fantasy standpoint.

Marquese Chriss Exits Early On Thursday
Marquese Chriss (knee) was forced to exit early during Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He finished with two rebounds and only lasted five minutes before exiting due to right knee soreness. The Mavericks have a rematch against the Clippers on Saturday. Fantasy managers should consider Chriss questionable for that game. Maxi Kleber and Dwight Powell would see increased roles if Chriss is forced to sit out. Kleber has slightly more fantasy value, but fantasy managers will have to wait and see what happens with Chriss after the game.
