Mavericks' Dwight Powell: Remains out for Saturday
Powell (hip) remains out for Saturday's game against the Celtics.
Powell will miss a fourth straight game Saturday with a hip strain, and his next chance to suit up for the Mavericks arrives Monday against the Wizards. Although the veteran big man's absence against Boston won't have significant fantasy implications, Dallas should lean on Daniel Gafford from the first unit while Maxi Kleber handles the backup center role.

Hardy has missed the last three games for the Mavericks while nursing a right ankle injury. The 22-year-old's next chance to get back on the floor if he misses this game against the Celtics would be Monday against the Wizards.

Mavericks' Klay Thompson: Questionable for Saturday
Thompson (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against Boston.
Thompson is in jeopardy of missing his third consecutive contest due to a left ankle sprain. If the veteran sharpshooter joins Naji Marshall (illness) on the shelf, Olivier-Maxence Prosper and Kessler Edwards are candidates for increased roles.

Mavericks' Dante Exum: Still not cleared for contact
Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd said Thursday that Exum (wrist) hasn't yet been cleared for contact and is without a timeline for making his season debut, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports. "There is a lot of time between today and when he's supposed to come back," Kidd said of Exum.
Exum has been able to take part in pregame workouts with the Mavericks recently as part of his recovery program for the right wrist surgery he underwent in early October, but the 29-year-old has yet to make enough progress to gain clearance for practices or scrimmaging. His absence appears likely to stretch into February.

Mavericks' Olivier-Maxence Prosper: Season-high 14 points off bench
Prosper recorded 14 points (4-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-9 FT), three rebounds and one steal in 21 minutes during Thursday's 121-115 win over the Thunder.
Prosper lost his spot in Dallas' starting five to Spencer Dinwiddie against a smaller Thunder lineup, but that didn't stop him from scoring a season-high 14 points off the bench during a busy night at the foul line. Prosper has seen an uptick in playing time over his last six games, during which he's averaging 7.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 0.5 steals in 16.6 minutes. With the Mavericks' frontcourt dealing with several injuries at the moment, the 2023 first-rounder could continue witnessing a bump in minutes going forward.

Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Piles up career-high 19 rebounds
Washington had 22 points (6-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 19 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and three steals in 41 minutes during Thursday's 121-115 win over the Thunder.
With Daniel Gafford missing some action with an apparent neck injury, Washington dominated on the glass against an undersized Thunder frontcourt with a career-high 19 rebounds on the heels of producing a season-high 30 points Wednesday. While Washington's role on Dallas' offense primarily as a spot-up shooter can yield inconsistent results at times, that hasn't prevented him from staying very productive for the Mavericks. Over his past 10 games, the 26-year-old has averaged 17.0 points, 10.1 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.4 three-pointers.

Mavericks' Spencer Dinwiddie: Erupts for team-high 28 points
Dinwiddie ended Thursday's 121-115 win over Oklahoma City with 28 points (11-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound and three assists in 35 minutes.
After scoring in single digits in his previous two outings, Dinwiddie erupted with an efficient 28 points to lead the Mavericks but didn't make as big of an impact in the other areas of the box score. Although the veteran guard is playing a more prominent role in Dallas' rotation while Luka Doncic nurses a calf strain, Dinwiddie remains a fairly volatile fantasy option on a nightly basis. He's averaging 15.6 points, 4.4 assists, 3.8 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 1.6 three-pointers while shooting 29.2 percent from deep over his last nine games.

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' Olivier-Maxence Prosper: Returns to bench Thursday
Prosper will come off the bench in Thursday's game against Oklahoma City, Mavericks radio play-by-play broadcaster Chuck Cooperstein reports.
Kessler Edwards will supplant Prosper in the starting five on Thursday. The 22-year-old received his second start over his two-year career in Wednesday's win over Utah with Klay Thompson (ankle) and Naji Marshall (illness) sidelined, during which he recorded four points (2-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists across 25 minutes.

Grimes will come off the bench in Thursday's game against the Thunder, Mavericks radio play-by-play broadcaster Chuck Cooperstein reports.

Dinwiddie will return to the starting lineup Thursday against the Thunder, Mavericks radio play-by-play broadcaster Chuck Cooperstein reports.

Mavericks' Kessler Edwards: Making first start of season
Edwards is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Thunder, Mavericks radio play-by-play broadcaster Chuck Cooperstein reports.
The Mavericks will be depleted regarding their wing depth for this contest, so Edwards will start at small forward. Edwards has made 14 appearances off the bench this season, averaging a mere 3.6 minutes per contest.

Mavericks' Dereck Lively: Due for checkup in one month
The Mavericks announced Wednesday that Lively will be re-evaluated in four weeks after being diagnosed with a right ankle stress fracture.
Though Lively is due to be examined by doctors again in approximately one month, fantasy managers shouldn't expect the second-year center to be ready to play right away, even if his re-evaluation yields good news. Shams Charania of ESPN reported earlier Wednesday that Lively's injury is expected to keep him sidelined for around 2-to-3 months in total, making him a drop candidate in most redraft leagues with limited injured reserve spots. Daniel Gafford has started each of the last four games in Lively's stead and has played 30-plus minutes on three occasions while averaging 20.0 points, 11.3 rebounds, 3.3 blocks, 2.3 assists and 0.8 steals.
