Klay Thompson

DAL Shooting Guard #31

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Klay Thompson had 20 points (7-of-15 FGs), four rebounds, one assist and six 3-pointers against the Pelicans on Wednesday.

After Thompson returned from a sprained left ankle to play 24 minutes against the Wizards Monday, he was able to play 29 minutes against the Pelicans Wednesday. The 34-year-old shooting guard doesn’t contribute much outside of points and threes, which was the case again Wednesday. With Dallas having an off-day Thursday, Thompson should be available again Friday against the Pistons.
PJ Washington

DAL Power Forward #25

PJ Washington had 25 points (10-of-20 FGs), 14 rebounds, eight assists, one block and four 3-pointers against the Pelicans on Wednesday.

Washington has perhaps benefited more from teammates missing games than any other player in the league. Luka Doncic has missed his share of games this year. While Kyrie Irving was back Wednesday, Dereck Lively II and Maxi Kleber were both out. Washington was just two assists shy of a triple-double against the Pelicans. The 26-year-old power forward only took one less shot than Irving and led the team in assists, showing that he’s a priority in the offense. His fantasy ceiling has certainly been raised given the injuries Dallas is dealing with.
Kyrie Irving

DAL Point Guard #11

Kyrie Irving had 25 points (10-of-21 FGs), nine rebounds, six assists, one steal and three 3-pointers in the Mavericks’ 137-136 victory over the Pelicans on Wednesday.

Irving has scored 22 points or more in six of his last seven outings, with Monday’s blowout of the Wizards being the exception. Over the past two weeks, the Mavericks guard has provided top-30 per-game value in 8-cat formats. While others have stepped up after Luka Doncic’s injury, Irving has led the way, benefiting fantasy managers. Dallas plays two more games during Week 14.
Dante Exum

DAL Shooting Guard #0

Dante Exum (wrist) is out for Wednesday’s game against the Pelicans.

Exum was initially doubtful for Wednesday’s game, so the chances of him making his season debut were slim. He’ll remain out for at least one more game, but his absence does not impact fantasy basketball.
Naji Marshall

DAL Small Forward #13

Naji Marshall (illness) is available for Wednesday’s game against the Pelicans.

Marshall is set to return Wednesday from a four-game absence due to an illness. The 27-year-old small forward’s return will cut into the extra minutes Kessler Edwards and Quentin Grimes had over the past four games.
Dante Exum

DAL Shooting Guard #0

Dante Exum (wrist) is listed as doubtful to play against the Pelicans on Wednesday.

Exum underwent surgery on his right wrist in October, and he has yet to suit up for Dallas this season. They’re dealing with plenty of injuries right now, so his return would be a welcomed one. He isn’t expected to play against New Orleans, but he is inching closer to playing.
Naji Marshall

DAL Small Forward #13

Naji Marshall (illness) is questionable to play against New Orleans on Wednesday.

Marshall has missed their last four games with an illness, which has opened up extra minutes for Kessler Edwards and Quentin Grimes. Edwards isn’t a player to consider streaming in fantasy basketball, but Grimes has had some solid games recently, especially from beyond the arc.
Olivier-Maxence Prosper

DAL Power Forward #8

Olivier-Maxence Prosper played 25 minutes in Monday’s win over the Wizards, tallying 20 points (7-of-11 FGs, 4-of-6 FTs), five rebounds, one assist, and two 3-pointers.

Blowouts tend to produce unexpected stat lines, which was the case for Prosper on Monday. The second-year forward matched his career-high with 20 points, shooting 7-of-11 from the field. While Dallas’ many injuries have freed up minutes for O-Max, he still isn’t at the point where fantasy managers should consider adding him.
Daniel Gafford

DAL Center #21

Daniel Gafford amassed 18 points (8-of-13 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), eight rebounds, three assists, and five blocks in 24 minutes in Monday’s 130-108 win over Washington.

Gafford continues to flourish for the Mavericks and fantasy managers. He’s blocked at least three shots in four of his last five outings and recorded one or more in 19 straight. Over the past two weeks, Gafford has provided top-20 per-game value in 8-cat formats. He’s rostered in 84% of Yahoo leagues, and that number is low, given Dallas’ many injuries in the frontcourt. Dereck Lively II, Maxi Kleber, and Dwight Powell are all out, and new signing Kylor Kelley (one point and four rebounds) isn’t going to take minutes away from Gafford.
PJ Washington

DAL Power Forward #25

PJ Washington finished Monday’s win over Washington with 19 points (9-of-14 FGs, 0-of-1 FTs), nine rebounds, three assists, two steals, one block, and one 3-pointer in 25 minutes.

Washington recorded a complete stat line on Monday, and the game being a blowout meant he got to watch the entire fourth quarter from the bench. His fantasy value has been consistent, with PJ being an 8th-round player over the past two weeks in 8-cat formats. Luka Doncic’s absence with a strained calf has given Washington more scoring opportunities, raising his fantasy ceiling. And now, with Dereck Lively II, Maxi Kleber, and Dwight Powell also injured, Washington has even greater importance to the Mavericks.
