Dallas Mavericks DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Dallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively II (ankle) and guard Dante Exum (foot) have both been ruled out for their Tuesday night game against the Memphis Grizzlies. This is going to be Lively's third consecutive game missed and it's Exum's fourth. They're both still dealing with sprains but Lively's is his ankle while Exum is dealing with a right Plantar sprain. The bigger blow to the team is Lively while the rest of the big men seem to be a revolving door. As they both remain out, Dwight Powell and Josh Green should both receive more opportunities in the starting lineup. Green has the better potential, so fantasy managers can look towards him for streaming options.

The Portland Trail Blazers announced on Monday that further advanced imaging on center Moses Brown's (wrist) injured left wrist demonstrated a non-displaced fracture of his scaphoid. Surgery is planned for this week, and a timeline for a return will be determined once the procedure is completed. It's rough timing for the Blazers, who continue to be without starting big man Deandre Ayton (knee). Portland is going to need Jerami Grant to handle more playing time at the five for the time being, while Duop Reath is representing the most popular waiver-wire add in Yahoo fantasy leagues on Monday. In eight games without Ayton this season, Reath is supplying 12.0 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 1.8 three-pointers per game and dropped a 15-point, 13-board double-double in 41 minutes during Sunday's road win over the Brooklyn Nets.

Miami Heat guard/forward Caleb Martin (ankle) looks set to miss another game on Monday, as the team has tagged him doubtful for a clash with the Rockets. Miami has been five games without him already as Martin recovers from a right ankle sprain. The Heat also won't have Jimmy Butler (toe) on Monday, so it's likely Nikola Jovic will log another start. He's had four starts overall across the season, averaging 8.0 points and 6.3 rebounds in the role. Jovic tends to be very inconsistent and will be a risky choice for fantasy managers on Monday.

Charlotte Hornets forward P.J. Washington (foot) was forced to exit the team's game on Friday with a right foot sprain after playing just six minutes. Now, he's ruled out for their game on Monday against the Chicago Bulls and there isn't an exact timetable for his return. This could end up being a one-game absence to allow him to get a bit more rest, but fantasy managers will have to stay tuned for those updates. Since he and Mark Williams (back) will both be out, Nick Richards, Nathan Mensah, and JT Thor will split time at center while Miles Bridges and Brandon Miller will handle the minutes at power forward and small forward.

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (ankle) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried as Davis has become a regular on the injury report. Despite that, Davis hasn't missed a game since December 15, so there is a good chance he'll be out there on Sunday. If he sits, Christian Wood figures to start and have a bigger role in the rotation. Wood could be a possible streaming option if he starts, but Davis is likely to suit up.
