Dallas Mavericks DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Dallas Mavericks forward Anthony Davis (abdomen) won't make his team debut against the Boston Celtics on Thursday. It seemed unlikely that Davis would be ready to play, so Saturday seems like the target date for his Mavs debut. It'll be interesting to see how the Mavs work out their rotation with Davis, P.J. Washington, and Daniel Gafford all on the court together. Naji Marshall should continue seeing increased playing time until Davis is in the mix. Marshall is worth a look after a 19-point outing on Tuesday, but his fantasy value will quickly be reduced once Davis is playing.

Dallas Mavericks power forward P.J. Washington (personal) will not be in the lineup on Tuesday against the Philadelphia 76ers. After missing Sunday's blowout loss against the Cleveland Cavaliers with a knee issue, Washington was initially expected to return to the lineup on Tuesday. However, he will end up sitting out a second straight game, with personal reasons cited for his absence. Anthony Davis (abdomen) isn't ready for his Mavericks debut and Dereck Lively II (ankle) remains on the shelf, meaning Dallas will be shorthanded in the frontcourt Tuesday night. Olivier-Maxence Prosper logged 31 minutes on Sunday and looks set for a heavy workload again.

According to Shams Charania of ESPN, the Philadelphia 76ers traded guard/forwardCaleb Martin(hip) to the Dallas Mavericks for Quentin Grimes and Philadelphia's 2025 second-round pick back to the 76ers, according to sources. Martin was listed as questionable earlier for Tuesday's game due to a hip injury. However, he is unavailable until the trade becomes finalized and won't play against his former teammates on the Sixers this evening. Currently, it is unclear if Martin is still dealing with a hip issue and where he stands in the Mavs rotation with several new players added to the mix recently. Moving forward the 29-year-old will likely be a limited fantasy contributor until he is healthy and acclimated with his new team.

Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward Caleb Martin (hip) practiced on Monday and is listed as questionable for Tuesday's clash against the Dallas Mavericks. He has missed nearly a month of action, sitting out 12 games. However, the questionable tag suggests that Martin could be ready to return on Tuesday. If he remains out, Justin Edwards will continue to roll with the starters. The 21-year-old rookie has been one of only a few bright spots for the 76ers during a frustrating campaign, averaging 9.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists, and 1.3 steals as a first-unit member.

Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (knee) is off the injury report heading into Tuesday's game against Philadelphia. The 26-year-old didn't play on Sunday versus the Cavaliers because of a sore knee. As a result, Olivier-Maxence Prosper entered the starting lineup and finished with 10 points, six rebounds, and two steals. But with Washington back in the equation, Prosper can be removed from fantasy lineups. On the other hand, Washington remains a must-start, especially since Anthony Davis (abdomen) won't make his Mavericks debut on Tuesday.
