Dallas Mavericks DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (foot) will play on Tuesday versus Utah. The 31-year-old has been dealing with a foot injury for a while, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect this to go away anytime soon. Fortunately, he should continue to play, barring a setback. Davis has had an MVP-caliber season thus far, averaging a career-high 31.1 points with 11.2 boards and 2.0 blocks while shooting 42.9% from deep. Of course, he needs to be in any fantasy lineup imaginable. Davis could also thrive even more with Walker Kessler (hip) sidelined.

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (foot) is listed as probable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Utah Jazz. The foot injury is nothing new, so fantasy managers should expect to see his name on the injury report moving ahead. With that in mind, Davis has missed just one game so far this season after appearing in 76 during the 2023-24 campaign. He's played well, too, averaging a career-high 31.1 points with 11.2 rebounds, 2.0 blocks, and 42.9% shooting from behind the arc. As always, AD is a must-start, although his ceiling could be higher against the Jazz with Walker Kessler (hip) out again.

Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (knee) was upgraded to probable and is now listed as available to play for the Mavericks in their game Saturday against the San Antonio Spurs. Washington was initially listed as questionable due to a right knee sprain that forced him to miss the last five games. Mavericks coach Jason Kidd said that Washington won't play his full 36 minutes until he gets more games under his belt. Expect the 26-year-old to likely come off the bench today. Fantasy managers should take caution with inserting Washington into their lineups as Washington already was averaging just 9.4 PPG. Those needing more rebounding production should feel less hesitant as his average of 7.7 RPG can bring some decent fantasy value to the table.

Dallas Mavericks forward Naji Marshall (illness) is listed as active and will play on Saturday in the Mavericks' matchup against the San Antonio Spurs. Marshall was originally listed as questionable with an illness but he is feeling good enough to play through it. Marshall has been able to play in every game this season, averaging 8.5 PPG for the Mavericks, mostly off the bench. Fantasy managers with the 26-year-old should get him in their starting lineups. DFS managers may want to be a little more weary about getting Marshall into their lineups as there are likely better options available with more potential for a big game.

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (foot) is active for Saturday night's matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans. Davis had been listed as probable earlier in the day, so it would appear that his plantar fasciitis isn't bothering him enough to hold him out. AD is a must-start on Saturday in all fantasy formats, as he's averaging 31.1 points and 10.9 rebounds to start the season. The 31-year-old has succeeded often against his former team, and fantasy managers should expect yet another big game from him.
