P.J. Washington Jr. DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (knee, illness) left during the first half of Wednesday's game against the Rockets and was unable to return, but the veteran forward may be able to play on Friday after getting a questionable tag for the home matchup against Cleveland. Washington missed one game on the Mavs' recent road trip due to suspension but returned with a strong game on Monday with 28 points against the Kings. He had just six points and three rebounds when he left after just 16 minutes on Wednesday, and he could get more work while the Mavs look to fill in for Luka Doncic (calf). If Washington is unable to play, Maxi Kleber (oblique) would get more work if he can play through his own questionable tag. If both veterans are out, Dwight Powell and Olivier-Maxence Prosper would have to fill in more minutes at power forward.

Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (knee) exited Wednesday night's game early and will not return. The team is stating that Washington exited with a right knee sprain. The 26-year-old missed time earlier this season with a knee issue so experiencing another knee injury should be a cause for concern for fantasy managers. With Dallas already dealing with a lengthy list of injuries, Washington missing time could be hurtful to their roster. In his absence, expect Maxi Kleber to get more playing time.

Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington will miss Saturday's meeting with the Trail Blazers. Fortunately, he isn't injured. However, he was involved in a physical altercation in Friday's game against Phoenix, resulting in Washington, forward Naji Marshall, and Suns center Jusuf Nurkic all getting ejected and suspended. With Marshall only sidelined for only one game, the Mavs could turn to Maxi Kleber to fill the void. However, Kleber is not a reliable fantasy option, although he can have some good showings for those needing to take a risk.

Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (illness) won't play on Tuesday versus Oklahoma City. The former Hornet isn't feeling well, so he'll get a night off. Fortunately for Dallas, Naji Marshall (illness) is back from a four-game absence, which will help lessen the blow. Marshall will likely start in Washington's place, with the 26-year-old averaging 13.1 points in seven starts during the 2024-25 campaign.

Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (illness) is currently listed as questionable ahead of Tuesday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Washington appears to have picked up a minor illness, so fantasy managers will likely have to wait to see how he feels closer to tip-off. The Mavs could be shorthanded for this game with Maxi Kleber (illness) already ruled out for this game. That being said, Dereck Lively II, Daniel Gafford, and even Dwight Powell could see more minutes in the rotation. Lively is the best fantasy option out of the bunch, assuming Washington is out.
