  • Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Available to play

    Gafford (shoulder) will be available to play Thursday against Boston. Gafford exited Tuesday's 118-116 loss to the 76ers with a stinger in his left shoulder, but he brushed off any concerns about it at Wednesday's practice. He's also not showing up at all on the injury report which is a good sign for his fantasy managers. Anthony Davis (abdomen) is questionable for Thursday, so there could be another game until we see how the frontcourt rotation shapes up.

  • Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Goes through practice

    Gafford (shoulder) was a full participant at Wednesday's practice, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports. Gafford exited Tuesday's 118-116 loss to the 76ers with a left shoulder injury, which the center described as a "stinger" after Wednesday's practice. The Mavericks will release their next injury report later Wednesday, but Gafford seems optimistic about playing Thursday against the Celtics.

  • Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Downplays injury after early exit

    Gafford said that he expects to be available for the Mavericks' next game Thursday in Boston after exiting with 3:20 in the fourth quarter of Tuesday's 118-116 loss to the 76ers with a left shoulder injury, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports. Gafford noted that the injury stemmed from him getting hit in the head, resulting in his neck jamming up before his left shoulder started to feel numb. The center said he could have played through the injury, but he remained on the bench for the closing minutes and finished with 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and two blocks in 33 minutes. While Gafford's comments about his injury are encouraging, his status will still need to be monitored leading up to Thursday. The Mavericks may have the recently acquired Anthony Davis (abdomen) available to make his team debut Thursday, and his presence could result in Gafford losing out on some playing time after he logged 30-plus minutes in seven of his last 10 appearances.

  • Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Exits early Tuesday

    Gafford exited with 3:20 remaining in the fourth quarter of Tuesday's 118-116 loss to the 76ers and headed to the locker room after sustaining an apparent left shoulder injury, Tim Bontemps of ESPN.com reports. Gafford finished with 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and two blocks across 33 minutes. The severity of the injury is unknown, but Anthony Davis (abdomen) and Kylor Kelley are candidates to start at center if Gafford is unable to play in the Mavericks' next game Thursday against the Celtics.

  • Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Not on injury report for Tuesday

    Gafford (ankle) is off the injury report for Tuesday's game against the 76ers. Gafford will suit up Tuesday after missing Sunday's loss to the Cavaliers due to left ankle soreness. The big man could share the frontcourt with Anthony Davis (recently traded) for the first time Tuesday, who is listed as questionable to make his Mavericks debut against Philadelphia. Over his last five appearances, Gafford has averaged 17.4 points, 10.0 rebounds, 3.6 blocks and 2.6 assists in 29.4 minutes per contest.

  • Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Won't play Sunday

    Gafford (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports. Following the aftermath of the Luka Doncic (calf) for Anthony Davis (abdomen) blockbuster trade, the Mavericks have ruled out Gafford, Kyrie Irving (shoulder) and P.J. Washington (knee) for Sunday's game against the top team in the NBA, leaving Dallas with a frontcourt rotation of Naji Marshall, Kessler Edwards, Olivier-Maxence Prosper and Kylor Kelley. Gafford's next chance to suit up will come Tuesday in Philadelphia. When Davis is available to make his Dallas debut and Gafford is healthy, head coach Jason Kidd expects both big men to start, especially while Dereck Lively (foot) is still sidelined.

  • Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Questionable against Cleveland

    Gafford (ankle) has been listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers. After a strong performance in Friday's win against the Pistons, Gafford may not play in Sunday's game in Cleveland due to left ankle soreness. The 26-year-old big man recorded a double-double in Detroit, finishing with 16 points, 10 rebounds, three assists and five blocks. The Mavericks are already shorthanded in the frontcourt with Dereck Lively (ankle) and Maxi Kleber (foot) out for a considerable amount of time, which means they could lean on P.J. Washington or Kylor Kelley to help shoulder the load in the paint.

  • Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Keeps surging with five swats

    Gafford posted 16 points (6-8 FG, 4-6 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and five blocks over 33 minutes during Friday's 117-102 loss to Detroit. Gafford was a menace down low Friday, recording his fifth game of the season with at least five swats to go with his eighth double-double of the year. The veteran big man's fantasy stock continues to skyrocket through his last seven appearances, where he's averaged 18.9 points, 11.0 rebounds, 4.0 blocks and 2.6 assists in 30.4 minutes per game while shooting 70.3 percent from the field. With Dallas' frontcourt ravaged by injuries, Gafford has a clear pathway to dominating the center minutes going forward.

  • Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Excellent two-way play

    Gafford finished Monday's 130-108 victory over the Wizards with 18 points (8-13 FG, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and five blocks over 24 minutes. Gafford has been making the most of the minutes he's earning in a depleted Mavericks frontcourt, and he's proving to be a reliable presence on both ends of the court for Dallas. Since moving to a starting role Jan. 15 during a 119-116 loss to the Pelicans seven games ago, Gafford is averaging 18.4 points, 10.4 rebounds, 3.3 blocks and 2.3 assists per game. With Dereck Lively (ankle) and Maxi Kleber (foot) out for at least a couple of months, Gafford should continue starting for the Mavericks.

  • Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Returns for second half

    Gafford returned to the floor for the Mavericks after suffering an apparent neck injury in the first half, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports. With the Mavericks dealing with several key players being in and out of the lineup this season, Gafford returning for the second half against the Thunder is a promising sign for Dallas. The 26-year-old big man is helping shoulder the load in the frontcourt with Dereck Lively (ankle) potentially out for the remainder of the regular season.

  • Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Leaves for locker room Thursday

    Gafford exited to the locker room after sustaining an apparent neck injury during the second quarter of Thursday's game against the Thunder, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports. Gafford stayed down on the court for an extended period, calling for the training staff after a scary fall. With the Mavericks thin at center, Maxi Kleber and Olivier-Maxence Prosper will likely see a bump in minutes the rest of the way if Gafford is unable to return.

  • Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Second straight double-double

    Gafford posted 14 points (6-11 FG, 2-2 FT), 12 boards, three blocks, two assists and one steal across 33 minutes of action in Wednesday's 115-114 loss to the Timberwolves. Gafford continued to capitalize on Dereck Lively's (foot) absence Wednesday, logging his third double-double in the four games that the latter's been sidelined. In that stretch, he's averaged 20.0 points, 11.3 rebounds and 3.5 blocks while shooting 76.2 percent from the field. With Lively expected to miss multiple months, Gafford has become an extremely attractive fantasy option. He'll look to keep rolling Thursday against the Thunder.

  • Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Season-best outing in double-double

    Gafford recorded 31 points (12-15 FG, 7-7 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists, six blocks and one steal over 34 minutes during Monday's 110-105 loss to the Hornets. Gafford dominated Monday's contest, putting forth his best outing of the season while leading all players in rebounds and blocks and finishing as one of two Mavericks with 30 or more points in a double-double performance. Gafford set season-high marks in scoring, rebounds and blocks while surpassing the 30-point mark for the first time. He has now recorded a double-double on four occasions, doing so in two of his last three contests.

  • Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Dominates in spot start

    Gafford accumulated 27 points (12-13 FG, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 119-116 loss to the Pelicans. Gafford took over the starting role, replacing Dereck Lively who was ruled out due to an ankle injury. After weeks of playing second fiddle to Lively, Gafford was able to showcase his talents, recording his first double-double in more than six weeks. As long as Lively is sidelined, Gafford should continue to log heavy minutes on a team clawing and scratching for every win in a loaded Western Conference.

  • Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Starting Wednesday

    Gafford will start Wednesday's game against the Pelicans. Gafford will join the first unit at center Wednesday for the Mavericks in the absence of second-year big man Dereck Lively, who is out with an ankle injury. Gafford is averaging 12.8 points, 6.1 rebounds and 1.6 blocks over 15 games as a starter this season.

  • Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Productive in second-unit role

    Gafford logged 13 points (5-8 FG, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one block across 19 minutes during Tuesday's 118-99 loss to Denver. Gafford had a decent stat line considering the minutes he played, and the big man posted his best scoring output since Dec. 28, when he had 15 points in a loss to the Trail Blazers. Gafford could be in line for a bigger role in the short term if Dereck Lively (ankle) ends up missing time following the injury he sustained Tuesday, particularly with the Mavericks playing the second leg of a back-to-back set Wednesday.

  • Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Full-go against Portland

    Gafford (ankle) is available for Thursday's game versus the Trail Blazers and won't operate on a minutes restriction, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports. Gafford has been upgraded from questionable to available Thursday after missing Dallas' previous contest due to a left ankle sprain. Gafford is averaging 9.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.9 blocks in 18.8 minutes across his last 10 appearances.

  • Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Questionable for Thursday

    Gafford (ankle) is questionable to play in Thursday's contest against Portland. Gafford missed Tuesday's matchup with the Lakers due to his left ankle sprain, and he is in danger of missing another contest. However, the fact Gafford is being listed as questionable is a positive sign after coach Jason Kidd initially said the center was "probably going to be out for some time," per Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com. Dereck Lively and Maxi Kleber will likely fill the big man minutes for the Mavericks if Gafford is ruled out again.

  • Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Out Tuesday

    Gafford (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Lakers. As expected, Gafford will be sidelined for the second leg of a back-to-back set after head coach Jason Kidd said following Monday's 119-104 loss to the Grizzlies that Gafford is "probably going to be out some time" with a sprained left ankle. Dereck Lively is likely to see boosted minutes as the Mavericks' starting center in the short term, while Dwight Powell and Maxi Kleber absorb the backup minutes that had previously fallen to Gafford.

  • Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Expected to miss time

    Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd said after Monday's 119-104 loss to the Grizzlies that Gafford is "probably going to be out for some time" after exiting with 8:26 remaining in the second quarter due to a sprained left ankle, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports. Gafford posted five points (2-3 FG, 1-3 FT), one rebound and one block in eight minutes before tweaking his ankle. He was able to walk off the court under his own power, but initial evaluations on Gafford's ankle injury apparently weren't favorable, given Kidd's post-game comments. A firmer timeline for Gafford's return should be available once he undergoes further testing, but fantasy managers can expect the reserve center to miss at least the Mavericks' remaining three games this week. While Gafford is sidelined, starter Dereck Lively will likely have a higher minutes ceiling, and Dwight Powell could move back into the rotation as a backup center. Maxi Kleber could also see more time at center after primarily being deployed as a reserve power forward this season.
