Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (shoulder) doesn't carry an injury designation heading into Saturday's game versus the San Antonio Spurs. The 32-year-old didn't play in Thursday's two-point loss to the Utah Jazz because of a shoulder strain. As a result, Quentin Grimes entered the starting lineup and finished with 15 points, five assists, and one steal. But now that Irving is back on the floor, Grimes is no longer a starting fantasy option. In fact, he should be dropped from fantasy rosters altogether.
Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (knee) has been officially ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Utah Jazz. Washington was tagged as doubtful coming into this game due to a right-knee sprain. He will now miss his fifth game in a row due to the injury. Naji Marshall has been starting, and that will likely remain the case on Thursday. He posted a dud during their last game, but Marshall has finished with double-digit scoring in three of his last five games. He's a low-end streaming option while Washington is out.
Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (shoulder) has been ruled out ahead of Thursday's game against the Utah Jazz. Irving is dealing with a right shoulder strain that he likely suffered during Tuesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Luka Doncic will be asked to do the heavy lifting on offense with Irving unable to play. Also, Spencer Dinwiddie and Jaden Hardy should see increased playing time on Thursday. Both guards are solid fantasy options with this game being the only one on for Thursday's slate.
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (knee) has been cleared to suit up ahead of Thursday's game against the Utah Jazz. As expected, Doncic will play after being listed as probable coming into this game due to a right knee contusion. Doncic has been banged up at times throughout the season, but that hasn't stopped him from playing big minutes for the Mavs. He's coming off a 31-point performance on Tuesday and should be in all starting lineups ahead of tip-off on Thursday.
Dallas Mavericks power forward P.J. Washington (knee) will likely miss a fifth consecutive game on Thursday versus Utah. He has been listed on the injury report as doubtful. Washington has been out of commission due to a right knee sprain. The injury has given Naji Marshall a chance to run with the starters. He has averaged 10.8 points and 4.5 rebounds in the role. Utah plays at one of the fastest paces in the league and struggles on the glass, making this a very promising fantasy matchup for Marshall and the rest of the Mavericks.
