Dallas Mavericks DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (foot) may return from a one-game absence after receiving a questionable tag on the injury report for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies. The 29-year-old missed Wednesday's game due to a foot contusion but could already be ready to play again. In 13 games this season, Exum averages 9.2 points, 3.3 assists, and 1.6 rebounds per game. With the lengthy injury list, Exum could step right into a large role, and may even draw a start alongside Spencer Dinwiddie. If he doesn't suit up, Max Christie should continue to see big minutes.

Dallas Mavericks forward Caleb Martin (hip) has drawn a questionable tag for Friday's game against the Memphis Grizzlies after missing the last 25 games with a hip strain. Martin hasn't debuted in a game for his new team yet with his last game being January 10 when he was still a member of the Philadelphia 76ers. This questionable tag is the most promising status he's had on the injury report since then. It's unclear if he'd be under a minutes restriction or not. If he does return, the two players that would be impacted the most would be Max Christie and Naji Marshall.

Dallas Mavericks guard/forwardCaleb Martin (hip) is doubtful for Wednesday's matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks. Martin was recalled from the G League's Texas Legends on Tuesday after practicing with the team. The 29-year-old has been out of action since January 10th due to a right hip strain. If Martin doesn't play against the Bucks, his next chance to suit up is Friday against the Grizzlies. Martin has yet to debut for the Mavericks since being acquired via trade.

According to NBA reporter Chris Haynes, Dallas Mavericks guardJaden Hardy(ankle) will be out of action against the Milwaukee Bucks and could miss a period of time due to spraining his right ankle on Monday against the Kings. With Hardy out and Kyrie Irving(knee) done for the remainder of the season, Spencer Dinwiddie will see extra minutes on the floor, which could significantly impact his fantasy production as more scoring opportunities will likely come his way.

Dallas Mavericks guard/forwardDante Exum(foot) won't play against the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday. The severity of the injury is unclear, but Exum is dealing with a right foot contusion. Exum's next chance to suit up comes on Friday against the Grizzlies.
