Dallas Mavericks DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (shoulder) is off the injury report ahead of Tuesday's clash with the 76ers. The 32-year-old appeared in eight games leading up to Sunday's loss to the Cavs. However, he wasn't available for that one due to shoulder soreness. The Mavericks' front office made a bold move recently, with the team acquiring Anthony Davis (abdomen) from the Lakers in exchange for Luka Doncic (calf). It's unknown how Davis' presence will impact Irving's production. But with AD out on Tuesday, it will be business as usual for Irving.

Dallas Mavericks center Daniel Gafford (ankle) is off the injury report heading into Tuesday's matchup with the 76ers. The 26-year-old wasn't available for Sunday's loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. But with Anthony Davis (abdomen) not ready to make his Mavericks debut, Gafford should be back in the middle on Tuesday night. He has played well in 24 starts during the 2024-25 campaign, averaging 15.0 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 2.3 blocks. It's hard to tell how Davis' arrival will impact Gafford's workload. However, it's reasonable to assume he'll see a dip in minutes and production. For now, he remains worthy of a spot in any fantasy lineup.

Dallas Mavericks center Anthony Davis (abdomen) won't play on Tuesday against Philadelphia. AD suffered an abdominal strain before the blockbuster trade that sent him to the Mavericks and Luka Doncic to the Lakers. While he could be back on the floor at some point soon, his Mavs debut will need to wait. With Daniel Gafford (ankle), who didn't play on Sunday versus the Cavs, off the injury report, he remains a viable starting option for fantasy managers. But Gafford's outlook won't be as favorable once Davis is ready to roll.

Dallas Mavericks center Anthony Davis (abdomen) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Philadelphia. AD suffered an abdominal strain before the trade that sent him to the Mavericks and Luka Doncic to the Lakers. It was originally reported that he was expected to miss at least a week. With that in mind, there's a good chance Davis won't be ready to make his debut for his new team. If that's the case, Daniel Gafford (ankle), who didn't play on Sunday versus Cleveland, will get the start in the middle. But if Davis is available, Gafford's fantasy outlook won't be as favorable.

Dallas Mavericks guard Max Christie is available for Tuesday's matchup with the 76ers. Christie was involved in the blockbuster trade involving Luka Doncic and Anthony Davis. It will be his first game for the Mavs after he averaged 8.5 points, 2.7 rebound, and 1.4 assists in 46 games with the Lakers. It's unknown how much action Christie will see. However, the 21-year-old appears to have a bright future, so he's worth stashing on fantasy rosters even if he gets off to a slow start with his new squad.
