Maximilian Kleber is Questionable for Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks forward Maximilian Kleber (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Kleber has missed two games in a row due to a lingering knee issue. Both Dwight Powell and Dorian Finney-Smith would see a few extra minutes if Kleber is unable to play.

Luka Doncic is Expected to Play on Tuesday

Dallas Mavericks forward Luka Doncic (hip) is expected to play in Tuesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Doncic has apparently improved after sitting out Sunday's game versus the Clippers, according to head coach Rick Carlisle. Dorian Finney-Smith will lose value and minutes assuming Doncic returns. Fantasy owners should check back for an update on […]

Dwight Powell Cleared To Play Sunday

Dallas Mavericks power forward/center Dwight Powell has been given the green light to appear in Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Powell had previously been tagged as questionable due to left knee effusion, but he’ll suit up for a chance at potentially a few more minutes of run with Maximilian Kleber ruled out. Powell […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Set To Play Sunday

Dallas Mavericks point guard Dennis Smith Jr. has been cleared to play in Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Clippers, having previously been listed as questionable due to a sprained right wrist. With Luka Doncic sidelined, Smith Jr. is likely to have full reins on point guard duties, along with potentially more shots to go […]

Maximilian Kleber Listed As Out For Sunday’s Game

Dallas Mavericks power forward Maximilian Kleber will miss Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Clippers due to a knee injury. Head coach Rick Carlisle doesn’t believe the issue to be serious, but his absence could make for some increased frontcourt run for the likes of Dorian Finney-Smith and Dwight Powell. This makes two straight contests […]

Luka Doncic Ruled Out On Sunday

Dallas Mavericks point guard/small forward Luka Doncic will be held out of Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Clippers due to a right hip strain. This will mark the first game missed in the career of Doncic, who is coming off a season-low six-point performance against the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday. Should Dennis Smith […]

Dwight Powell Tagged As Questionable For Sunday

Dallas Mavericks power forward/center Dwight Powell is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Clippers due to left knee effusion. Powell doesn’t get very much run (16.1 minutes per game), but he’s efficient when he does so, coming off a 17-point, seven-rebound effort Friday. Even then, he remains a deep league stream […]

Maximilian Kleber Listed As Questionable For Sunday

Dallas Mavericks power forward Maximilian Kleber is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Clippers due to right knee soreness. Kleber previously sat out Friday versus the Los Angeles Lakers, missing his first contest of the season.

Dennis Smith Jr. Tabbed As Questionable For Sunday

Dallas Mavericks point guard Dennis Smith Jr. is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Clippers due to a sprained right wrist. Smith has been able to suit up for each of the past two contests despite his aching wrist, so it doesn’t seem as if he's a huge concern to miss […]

Luka Doncic Questionable To Play Sunday

Dallas Mavericks point guard/small forward Luka Doncic has been listed as questionable for Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Clippers due to a strained right hip.

Dallas Mavericks forward Maximilian Kleber (knee) has been listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. He'll join Dwight Powell (knee) and Dennis Smith Jr. (wrist) on the injury report. The Mavs are banged up, so Dorian Finney-Smith and Harrison Barnes could be looking at extra minutes on Friday. Fantasy owners should […]

Devin Harris Scores 20 Points In 15 Minutes

Dallas Mavericks point guard Devin Harris dialed back the clock to his days of scoring like an All-Star during Wednesday’s win over the Houston Rockets, pouring in 20 points on 6-for-8 shooting -- including 5-for-6 from deep -- in just 15 minutes of action.

Wesley Matthews Has Quiet Night In Victory

Dallas Mavericks shooting guard Wesley Matthews scored 11 points during Wednesday’s win over the Houston Rockets. Matthews logged 23 minutes and aside from those 11 points on 5-of-9 shooting, didn’t do much else by way of statistical contribution. There was an assist, but that was the extent of it, marking the third time this season […]

Harrison Barnes Hits Trio Of Threes In Win

Dallas Mavericks small forward Harrison Barnes continued to fire from long range during Wednesday’s win over the Houston Rockets, knocking down a trio of triples en route to finishing with 13 points.

J.J. Barea Delivers Third Double-Double Of Season

Dallas Mavericks point guard J.J. Barea needed just 18 minutes to record a double-double against the Houston Rockets on Wednesday. It’s the third double-double off the bench this season for Barea, who finished with 13 points and 12 assists, while also adding three rebounds for good measure. Despite averaging fewer than 20 minutes per game, […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Contributes Across The Board

Dallas Mavericks point guard Dennis Smith Jr. did a little bit of everything during Wednesday’s win over the Houston Rockets, playing a team-high 31 minutes while finishing with 10 points, five rebounds, five assists and four steals.

Doncic drilled a trio of threes, making it seven consecutive games in which he has had multiple threes made. The […]

DeAndre Jordan Logs Just 24 Minutes

Dallas Mavericks center DeAndre Jordan saw only 24 minutes of action during Wednesday’s win over the Houston Rockets. That total marks the second-fewest minutes logged by Jordan this year, with the other instance coming in a 50-point blowout. Jordan delivered a 13-point, seven-rebound evening Wednesday, hitting 4-of-5 shots from the floor, but it’s concerning for […]

Dwight Powell Will Return To The Court Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Dwight Powell (knee) will play Wednesday night against the Houston Rockets after missing three straight games. It's unclear if Powell will have a minutes restriction, but he usually plays limited minutes of the bench so he should resume his normal role. Maxi Kleber will see reduced time with the return of Powell, […]

Dennis Smith Jr. is Expected to Play on Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks point guard Dennis Smith Jr. (wrist) is expected to play in Wednesday's game against the Houston Rockets. Smith was a full participant in shootaround on Wednesday and said himself that he was going to play. He missed Saturday's contest, but it appears he's only going to miss one game. Dorian Finney-Smith would return […]

Dwight Powell Participates in Wednesday's Shootaround

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Dwight Powell (knee) was a full participant during Wednesday's shootaround. He's missed the last three games due to a lingering knee issue, but it appears he could return on Wednesday.
