Dallas Mavericks DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Max Christie (shoulder) will be in the lineup on Monday against the Sacramento Kings. Christie was initially regarded as questionable for the game due to a shoulder sprain. This will be Christie's fourth appearance as a Maverick. He has looked great over his first few outings, averaging 17.7 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 3.0 assists. With P.J. Washington (ankle) joining Anthony Davis (adductor) on the sidelines, Christie may be asked to do a bit more offensively on Monday night.

Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's contest against the Sacramento Kings. With the team initially listing him as questionable for the game, there was hope that Washington could remain in the lineup after suffering an ankle sprain over the weekend against the Houston Rockets. However, Dallas has now downgraded him to out. Naji Marshall, Olivier-Maxence Prosper, and Kessler Edwards may land more significant roles in the rotation with Washington out. However, only Marshall has provided consistent fantasy value among these three players.

Dallas Mavericks forward Anthony Davis (adductor) won't play on Monday night versus Sacramento. AD made his Mavericks debut on Saturday versus the Rockets. He had an excellent showing, amassing 26 points, 16 rebounds, seven assists, and three blocks. Unfortunately, Davis suffered an adductor strain in that one and was ruled out for the remain of the contest. It's unknown how much time he'll miss. If P.J. Washington (ankle) suits up, he'll likely slide back to the four spot. But if Washington is also out, Naji Marshall, who had 16 points on Saturday, should continue to benefit from an offensive standpoint.

Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the visiting Kings. Washington returned for Saturday's win over the Rockets after missing three games. But he logged only 16 minutes due to a sprained ankle. With Anthony Davis (Adductor) sidelined, Washington could move back to the four spot if he's available. But either way, it appears Naji Marshall, who had 16 points on Saturday, could find his way back into the starting lineup.

Dallas Mavericks forward Anthony Davis (abdomen) is officially available for Saturday's meeting with Houston. It's a new era for the team, with AD arriving in Dallas from Los Angeles in exchange for Luka Doncic. As expected, he has had a quality year, averaging 25.7 points, 11.9 rebounds, 2.1 blocks, and 1.3 steals in 42 games with the Lakers. Davis had also remained relatively healthy until he suffered an abdomen strain during the Lakers January 28 loss to the 76ers. It may take him a few days to find his rhythm with his new squad. Yet, Davis should be extra motivated to produce, so an uptick in production could be on the horizon. Since he'll likely spend most, if not all, of his time at the four, category managers may also see a bump in three-point shooting. Davis' presence, along with P.J. Washington (personal, will likely result in Kessler Edwards and Dante Exum heading back to the bench, significantly capping their fantasy potential.
