Dallas Mavericks DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (eye) finished with eight points, four rebounds, one steal, and one block in Saturday's loss to the Warriors. He played only 12 minutes before exiting for the rest of the contest after suffering a corneal abrasion in his left eye. Davis will be monitored closely on Sunday. He'll likely also undergo more testing. However, there's a chance he won't play on Monday against the Atlanta Hawks. If that's the case, Jaxson Hayes, who had seven points and 12 rebounds versus the Warriors, might enter the starting lineup, automatically giving him a significant boost in fantasy potential.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) and center Anthony Davis (Achilles) are both available ahead of Saturday's game against the Golden State Warriors. As expected, James and Davis will play after being on the injury report heading into this game. Both players are dealing with nagging injuries, but continue to play through them a majority of the time. The expectation is that James and Davis will have their normal workload on Saturday. Fantasy managers can go ahead and get him in their lineups.

Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (foot) is questionable for Sunday's contest against the Denver Nuggets. Exum is battling a plantar fascia sprain in his right foot. Exum started in Dallas' last game with Luka Doncic (ankle) out. However, if Exum cannot suit up on Sunday, Tim Hardaway and Jaden Hardy could have more minutes on the court. The 28-year-old missed 13 consecutive games earlier in the season with a knee injury.

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (Achilles) is expected to play against the Warriors on Saturday. The All-Star big man has collected a probable tag for the contest. Davis is set to feature in an 18th consecutive game, and he will have plenty to prove after getting outplayed by Domantas Sabonis in the previous matchup. In two previous games against the Warriors this season, Davis has put in outstanding performances, averaging 28.0 points, 14.0 rebounds, and 3.5 blocks.

Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (ankle) and center Anthony Davis (Achilles) were both spotted at the morning shootaround ahead of Wednesday's matchup against the Sacramento Kings. Carrying his usual probable tag, Davis is already likely to play through bilateral Achilles tendinopathy on Wednesday. James, on the other hand, is questionable with left ankle peroneal tendinopathy but can be tentatively placed on the right side of the designation with this development. The Lakers will release the final statuses of the two superstars closer to the 10:00 p.m. EST tip-off. This matchup sports a 238.5-point implied total, the highest on Wednesday's nine-game slate, so there's plenty of appeal from a DFS perspective.
