Wesley Matthews Ruled Out for Wednesday

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Wesley Matthews (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. The Mavs are likely going to be cautious with Matthews after he returned to early and re-aggravated his hammy. Dorian Finney-Smith should continue to draw starts, but he's not a trustworthy guy in terms of fantasy production.

Dirk Nowitzki Could Play in November

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Dirk Nowitzki (ankle) is getting closer to a return and could make his season debut by the end of November, according to head coach Rick Carlisle. The Mavs aren't setting an official date, but Nowitzki has been participating in shootaround and practices. Fantasy owners shouldn't get too excited about this news. The […]

DeAndre Jordan Continues Stellar Free Throw Shooting

Dallas Mavericks center DeAndre Jordan scored 17 points during Monday's road loss to the Memphis Grizzlies, adding in 20 rebounds and two assists. The most impressive part of Jordan has been his free throw shooting this season, and he continued his magnificent production at the line on Monday, making 5-for-6 to raise his season average […]

Luka Doncic Posts Double-Double

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Luka Doncic scored 15 points to go along with 10 rebounds, three assists, one block, three three-pointers and three turnovers during Monday's road loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. Doncic has recorded 3.9 turnovers per game this season, but if you are playing in an eight-category league or points league, that isn't a […]

Harrison Barnes Provides Empty Stat Line

Dallas Mavericks forward Harrison Barnes posted 10 points with one rebound, one assist and one three-pointer in 37 minutes on Monday. Barnes was a putrid 3-for-14 from the field and 1-for-7 from deep on an off night in all facets of his game. The 26-year-old dealt with a hamstring injury early in the season that […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Scores 19 Points

Dallas Mavericks guard Dennis Smith Jr. scored 19 points with three rebounds, five assists, two steals and three three-pointers on 6-for-15 shooting from the field. Smith Jr. has seen his percentage increase since his rookie season, but he continues to struggle from the free throw line, making only 65.2 percent of his attempts. The arrival […]

Wesley Matthews Remains Out Monday Night

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Wesley Matthews (hamstring) will sit out again Monday night against the Memphis Grizzlies. This was the expected result as Matthews was listed as doubtful before ultimately being a game-time decision. With J.J. Barea (groin) also out, Dorian Finney-Smith will most likely get all the minutes he can handle and would be a […]

Fantasy Basketball Waiver Wire Adds for Week 6

FanDuel NBA DFS Lineup Picks (11/19/18): Daily Fantasy Basketball Advice

Sorry for the late jump on the article, but I'll make this quick and as informative as possible. There is a lot of value tonight and I'll get to that, but we need to focus on the superstars. There's a common theme of top-tier players facing stingy defenses. Luckily this does nothing more than scare […]

Wesley Matthews is Doubtful on Monday

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Wesley Matthews (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The Grizzlies will have Matthews go through his pregame routine before making a decision. Hamstring issues have a tendency to linger, so fantasy owners should prepare to be without Matthews. Dorian Finney-Smith would continue to start without Matthews […]

J.J. Barea Won't Play Monday

Dallas Mavericks guard J.J. Barea (groin) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. This sounds like an issue that is going to sideline Barea for multiple games. Jalen Brunson and Devin Harris should see a few extra minutes with Barea sidelined. Dennis Smith Jr. might be able to get around 30 […]

Dwight Powell Ruled Out on Monday

Dallas Mavericks forward Dwight Powell (knee) has been ruled out of Monday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. He played through his knee issue on Saturday, but clearly he suffered some kind of setback. Maxi Kleber should benefit the most from the absence of Powell, but that doesn't mean much in terms of fantasy basketball.

DeAndre Jordan Collects Double-Double

Dallas Mavericks center DeAndre Jordan got back into the double-double column Saturday night against the Golden State Warriors with a 13-point, 10-rebound performance. After opening the season with six consecutive double-doubles, it’s just the third since then for Jordan. He attempted only five shots, so what you see is what you’ll get from the big […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Scores 14 Points In Win

Dallas Mavericks point guard Dennis Smith Jr. finished with 14 points during Saturday’s win over the Golden State Warriors. It was a nice return to form for Smith Jr. after his clunker earlier in the week against Utah. In addition to the scoring, Smith Jr. dished out six assists, bringing his season average up to […]

Luka Doncic Dazzles In Victory

Dallas Mavericks point guard/small forward Luka Doncic delivered a dazzling performance during Saturday’s win over the Golden State Warriors, finishing with 24 points, nine rebounds and four assists. He attempted 20 shots in the win, the most of his rookie season, as the 19-year-old wunderkind continues to key the Dallas offense. It’s not unreasonable to […]

Dorian Finney-Smith Excels During 40-Minute Performance

Dallas Mavericks small/power forward Dorian Finney-Smith reaped the benefits of the absence of Wesley Matthews during Saturday’s game against the Golden State Warriors, logging 40 minutes in his sixth start of the year. In addition to a key bucket late, Finney-Smith finished with 13 points, five rebounds, three assists and two steals, finishing out the […]

Harrison Barnes Ties Season-High With 23 Points

Dallas Mavericks small forward Harrison Barnes poured in 23 points during Saturday’s win against the Golden State Warriors. In addition to the strong scoring performance, Barnes also logged a season-high 37 minutes, a good sign moving forward for his season-long owners. His next matchup comes Monday against the Memphis Grizzlies, who have been notoriously stingy […]

Luka Doncic is Expected to Play on Saturday

Dallas Mavericks forward Luka Doncic (shoulder) went through full practice on Friday, but is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Doncic had an X-ray on Wednesday and the results came back clean, so he's expected to play on Saturday. Fantasy owners should check back for an update on Saturday.

Wesley Matthews Listed as Out for Saturday

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Wesley Matthews (hamstring) is listed as out for Saturday's game against the Golden State Warriors. He returned on Wednesday, but aggravated his hamstring. Hamstring issues have a tendency to linger, so it wouldn't be surprising to see Matthews miss a few games. Dorian Finney-Smith should start in his place, but he doesn't […]

Dwight Powell is Questionable for Saturday

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Dwight Powell (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Powell was dealing with a knee issue during the preseason, but hasn't missed a regular season game yet. Maxi Kleber would likely gain Powell's minutes if he's forced to sit out. Fantasy owners should check back later […]

NBA Waiver Wire: Standard League Adds (Week 5)

We are no into week 5 and like most our fantasy teams, NBA teams are still figuring out the direction they plan to head as we hit the grueling part of the regular season. Younger players that have yet to adapt to the conditioning of the season will slowly start to fall off, opening the […]

NBA Crisis Management - Keeping Steady Through Tough Situations

This past weekend I had the pleasure of attending a campus experience day at a top tier business school, a truly memorable experience that I enjoyed throughout. One of the coolest parts of the experience was being able to take in a mini lecture to get a taste of life at the school, and our […]

Buy, Sell, or Hold: Nikola Vucevic and Goran Dragic

Looking to trade your way to fantasy stardom? Or you just aren't sure what to do with your guy who is completely over or underperforming? If you're looking to get another opinion on who to target in a trade as a buy-low target or you own either Nikola Vucevic or Goran Dragic and you're wondering […]

J.J. Barea Provides Scoring Off Bench

Dallas Mavericks point guard J.J. Barea poured in 14 points in just 19 minutes of action during Wednesday’s win over the Utah Jazz. Barea cut into the playing time off Smith Jr. on Wednesday, although don’t count on that being the case on a regular basis. With that being said, it’s the fourth straight game […]

Dwight Powell Plays Season-High 26 Minutes

Dallas Mavericks power forward/center Dwight Powell reaped the benefits of his team’s 50-point win over the Utah Jazz on Wednesday. Powell was certainly an integral part, finishing +34 during his 26 minutes on the floor. He had been quiet since his hot start to the year, but put together a line of 14 points, five […]

Dennis Smith Jr. Held In Check Against Jazz

Dallas Mavericks point guard Dennis Smith Jr. had a quiet night during Wednesday’s win against the Utah Jazz. Despite the blowout, Smith Jr. finished shooting 3-for-9 from the field with just seven points, adding four rebounds, three assists and a steal. It marks just the third time this season Smith Jr. has finished in single […]

DeAndre Jordan Attempts Just Three Shots

Dallas Mavericks center DeAndre Jordan was quiet on the offensive end during Wednesday’s win over the Utah Jazz. Due to the nature of the Mavs’ 50-point victory, Jordan was needed for just 22 minutes of action. A stout matchup against Jazz center Rudy Gobert surely factored in, but it’s hard to blame Dallas for keeping […]

Luka Doncic Plays Career-Low 25 Minutes

Dallas Mavericks point guard/small forward Luka Doncic played the fewest minutes of his rookie season during Wednesday’s win over the Utah Jazz. Doncic saw just 25 minutes, but was able to stuff the stat sheet in his time on the floor with 13 points, six rebounds, two assists, two steals and a block to his […]

Harrison Barnes Scores Team-High 19 Points

Dallas Mavericks small forward Harrison Barnes led the way with 19 points during Wednesday’s win over the Utah Jazz. Barnes entered play Wednesday having averaged 10.5 points against the Jazz in two earlier meetings this season, but had an efficient 6-for-11 performance from the field. He added four rebounds and two assists, and is set […]
