P.J. Washington (ankle) will not play on Thursday against the Orlando Magic. He has been ruled out for a second consecutive game due to a left ankle sprain.
Naji Marshall figures to take on a larger role again with Washington unavailable. He had a career night with 38 points in Tuesday's matchup against the New York Knicks. The 27-year-old has been an efficient scorer throughout the month, notching 22.2 points on 53.7 percent shooting with 7.5 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 1.5 steals.

P.J. Washington (ankle) is unavailable for Tuesday's matchup with the New York Knicks. Washington has been dealing with a sprained left ankle that will keep him out of the lineup. With the 26-year-old sidelined, players like
Naji Marshall,
Max Christie,
Kessler Edwards and
Klay Thompson will likely be relied upon to take extra minutes during Tuesday's contest. Fantasy managers may want to look at Marshall as an option this evening. He exploded for 22 points, four rebounds and two assists across 27 minutes coming off the bench on Monday against the Nets.

P.J. Washington (ankle) will play on Sunday versus Philadelphia. The Mavs have struggled keeping players on the floor this season. Fortunately, the team will get Washington back from a seven-game absence caused by a sprained right ankle. The 26-year-old is having one of the best seasons of his career, averaging 14.0 points, 1.2 steals, and a career-high 8.1 rebounds.
Kyrie Irving (knee) is done for the remainder of the 2024-25 campaign and
Anthony Davis (adductor) remains out. As such, Washington has an excellent chance to lead the team in scoring on most nights for the foreseeable future. With his return,
Kessler Edwards will presumably head back to the bench after averaging 8.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 44.8% shooting from deep in 15 starts this season.

P.J. Washington (ankle) will miss Friday's contest against the Houston Rockets. He has been ruled out for a seventh consecutive game as Washington continues to nurse an ankle sprain. His next chance to return will come on Sunday in a matchup against the Philadelphia 76ers. Due to Washington's absence on Friday,
Kessler Edwards and
Dwight Powell will likely continue to receive additional playing time. Edwards has been a good streaming option for fantasy managers lately, averaging 15.0 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.0 steals over the past four games.
