Dallas Mavericks DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Dallas Mavericks forward Anthony Davis (adductor) will play on Monday night versus the Brooklyn Nets. AD was listed as doubtful on Sunday night, so most had assumed he wouldn't be out there. However, he'll return to the floor after being sidelined since February 8, his first game as a Maverick. With Dallas down Daniel Gafford (knee) and Dereck Lively II (ankle), Davis may need to hold things down at the five. But there's also a chance Kai Jones remains in the middle, with Davis moving over to the power forward spot. Either way, the former Laker will likely see a minutes cap, making him a risky option for fantasy managers.

Dallas Mavericks guard Brandon Williams (back) is considered probable to play on Monday against the Brooklyn Nets. The 25-year-old has been a popular fantasy waiver wire pickup ever since Kyrie Irving (knee) went down with a knee injury. In his last seven games, Williams averages 17.1 points, 4.9 assists, 3.9 rebounds, 1.7 steals, and 1.3 threes across 28.0 minutes per game. His fantasy value may not be as high as it once was, but he should still receive a sizeable chunk of minutes off of the bench since Dante Exum (hand) and Caleb Martin (hip) both remain sidelined.

Dallas Mavericks forward Anthony Davis (groin) is listed as doubtful ahead of Monday's game in Brooklyn. AD has appeared in only one game since his trade from Los Angeles to Dallas, amassing 26 points, 16 rebounds, seven assists, and three blocks during the Feb. 8 matchup with the Houston Rockets. Unfortunately, he re-injured his hip in that one and hasn't been on the floor since. It's possible Davis is back in action at some point in the next week, assuming he isn't cleared to suit up on Monday. Still, fantasy managers may not see him back to 100 percent for a while. If Davis is officially ruled out against the Nets, Klay Thompson, Naji Marshall, P.J. Washington, and Spencer Dinwiddie will likely remain more productive than usual.

Christian Clark of The Athletic reports that Dallas Mavericks guard/forwardKlay Thompson (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. Thompson is a late scratch due to an illness. The 35-year-old hasn't been out of action since February 13th. The Mavs are already withoutAnthony Davis(adductor) andKyrie Irving(knee) and to make matters worse, Brandon Williams(hamstring) is also sidelined. However, Jaden Hardy (ankle) has been cleared to play tonight after missing seven consecutive contests with an ankle injury.

Dallas Mavericks point guard Brandon Williams (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Indiana Pacers. He is dealing with tightness in his left hamstring and will miss the action after initially being listed as questionable for the matchup. Williams has joined a long list of absentees, though the return of Jaden Hardy will slightly improve the Mavericks' situation. Meanwhile, Spencer Dinwiddie and Max Christie could have a very busy night in the backcourt against Indiana.
