Dallas Mavericks DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (Achilles) is expected to suit up for Thursday's game against Washington, with the team listing him as probable for the favorable matchup. Davis shook off an illness to log 36 minutes of action on Wednesday in a battle with the Clippers, and it looks like he's good to go again versus the Wizards, despite remaining on the injury report with his old Achilles issue. The nine-time All-Star has played in 10 consecutive games, including both games of two recent back-to-backs. Bigs have feasted against the Wizards all season, and it could be a massive outing for Davis, especially if LeBron James (ankle) takes the night off.

Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (knee) will return to action on Wednesday versus Toronto. He'll be returning after a 13-game absence. It's not completely clear which role Exum will have, as there have been a lot of changes in Dallas since the last time he saw action. It's likely Exum will also be limited minutes-wise after being sidelined for over a month.

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (Achilles, illness) looks ready to go for Wednesday's battle against the Clippers, as the team has listed him as probable for the contest. Davis continues to deal with bilateral Achilles tendinopathy, and he wasn't at Tuesday's practice due to an illness, but the health issues likely won't keep him off the court on Wednesday. Davis has seen a lot of success against the Clippers this season, averaging 25.0 points and 10.7 rebounds in the matchup with 60.4 percent shooting.

Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (knee) will remain sidelined for Tuesday's contest against Cleveland. However, according to Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News, there's a "good chance" Exum returns on Wednesday when the team completes a back-to-back versus Toronto. Exum has featured just twice since Jan. 1 and looks set to return to action in a bench role. He has averaged 5.1 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 1.6 assists as a reserve in 2023-24.

Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (knee) has been listed as doubtful for Tuesday's matchup against Cleveland. He's missed 12 straight games but has been back in practice and doesn't appear to be far away from returning. However, his return on Tuesday still looks unlikely. Exum won't have to wait long for his next chance to return, as Dallas starts a back-to-back and faces Toronto on Wednesday.
