Pinson

This game went about as well as it should’ve for Dallas. After opting to not try and make the play-in, Dallas ended their season with a blowout loss to a tanking team. It ended up being the right decision, since OKC won their final two games, and now Dallas has a very good chance at securing a top ten pick. Pinson had a small role early in the season, but he hasn’t played much since February. He set career-highs in this game for points, rebounds, assists and 3-pointers. Jaden Hardy led the team with 25 points with seven of their eight players that played scoring in double figures. It will be a much longer summer than their last one was, and they’ll need to make some moves to get back to the postseason next year.

THJ had a solid first half, going for six points, seven boards, two assists and two triples across 16 minutes, but a tight right hammy will keep him sidelined for quarters 3 and 4. Expect Josh Green to continue soaking up minutes and usage, with Jaden Hardy, Theo Pinson and Reggie Bullock getting some extra playing time as well.

Ntilikina has been dealing with a sore left knee for a little while now. His absence leaves the Mavericks light on the perimeter, as Josh Green (elbow) is also out. Theo Pinson and McKinley Wright IV may get some minutes on the back end of the rotation, but neither is worth streaming.

With THJ out of action, we’d expect a bump in minutes for the likes of Josh Green, Theo Pinson, Spencer Dinwiddie and even Facundo Campazzo. Christian Wood will likely take on a larger role on offense alongside Luka Doncic.

Pinson played 7.8 minutes per game last season in 19 appearances. He missed so many games with a broken right finger, and he didn’t play much when he returned. He’s mostly remembered for always wearing street clothes that were the same color at the opposing team’s jersey during the postseason. He won’t see the court enough to impact fantasy hoops.

Pinson has only played in one game since January. While this is great news for him, this won’t have an impact on fantasy hoops.

This is your (close to) monthly update on Pinson, who wasn’t a consistent member of the Mavericks rotation when healthy. Consider him to be out indefinitely until the Mavericks say otherwise.

He’s typically a non-factor in the rotation, so his playing status is meaningless in terms of fantasy hoops. We won’t update him again until he’s made progress with the injury, but he’s safe to leave on the waiver wire in all formats.

Pinson will miss his fourth straight game, however, he isn’t a rotation player, and this news won’t affect fantasy.

While an important figure in the Mavericks locker room, Pinson has no kind of impact when it comes to fantasy basketball. The broken finger won’t impact his ability to fire up his teammates, or his fantasy value.
