Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Swats two shots in loss
Gafford totaled two points (0-1 FG, 2-4 FT), three rebounds, two blocks, one assist and one steal across 22 minutes during Wednesday's 128-110 loss to the Rockets.
Gafford didn't offer much on the offensive end in Dallas' season-opening loss. However, the big man recorded a game-high mark in blocks while chipping in a steal. He figures to operate as Dallas' starting center for now, though the eventual returns of Santi Aldama (knee) and Dereck Lively (foot) will likely eat into Gafford's playing time.

Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Chips in 10 points Wednesday
Washington ended with 10 points (4-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 0-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one block over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 128-110 loss to the Rockets.
Washington didn't deliver his most efficient shooting performance but was still one of five Mavericks players to score in double figures. He also tied for third on the team in rebounds. The 28-year-old forward should continue playing a steady role for Dallas in 2026-27.

Mavericks' Kyrie Irving: Adds 15 points in loss
Irving registered 15 points (6-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 128-110 loss to Houston.
Irving got his first taste of regular-season action since tearing his ACL in March 2025. The star point guard wasn't very aggressive in hunting his shot, though he didn't miss an attempt from inside the arc and finished as Dallas' fourth-leading scorer. The 34-year-old also tied for third on the team in rebounds.

Mavericks' Jett Howard: Doubtful for Friday
Howard (calf) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Pacers.
Howard is expected to miss a second consecutive contest due to right calf tightness. His potential absence wouldn't cause any significant waves in the rotation.

Mavericks' Caleb Martin: Missing second straight game
Martin (thumb) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Pacers.
Martin will miss a second consecutive contest as he continues recovering from a sprained right thumb. His next opportunity to make his season debut will come against the Spurs on Saturday in the back half of a back-to-back set.

Mavericks' Santi Aldama: Ruled out for Friday
Aldama (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Pacers.
Aldama has been progressing in his recovery from the right knee surgery he underwent in March. He was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice but will miss a second straight game to begin the regular season. The big man's next opportunity to suit up will come Saturday against San Antonio.

Mavericks' Tarik Biberovic: Remains out for Friday
Biberovic (heel) is out for Friday's game against Indiana.
Biberovic will miss a second straight game to begin the 2026-27 campaign due to right heel bursitis. His next chance to suit up will come Saturday versus the Spurs.

Mavericks' Dereck Lively: Remains without return timetable
Lively (foot) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Pacers.
Lively underwent right foot surgery last December and remains without a clear timetable to return. The big man can be considered week-to-week until the Mavericks offer an update on his status. In the meantime, Moussa Cisse and Morez Johnson are candidates for increased minutes.

Mavericks' Naji Marshall: Dishes out six dimes Wednesday
Marshall notched 16 points (7-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt), six assists, two rebounds and one steal across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 128-110 loss to the Rockets.
Marshall wasn't very productive from three-point range but turned in a solid performance from inside the arc. He finished as the Mavericks' third-leading scorer while pacing the club in assists. After starting 47 of his 74 regular-season appearances in 2025-26, Marshall figures to operate as one of Dallas' first men off the bench this season.

Mavericks' Marcus Sasser: Offers spark in loss
Sasser supplied 17 points (6-8 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal across 24 minutes during Wednesday's 128-110 loss to the Rockets.
Sasser delivered an impressive offensive performance in his regular-season debut with Dallas. He paced the bench in scoring and finished as the club's second-leading scorer behind Cooper Flagg (32 points). Sasser appears poised to maintain a steady role behind Kyrie Irving in the 2026-27 season.

Mavericks' Zaccharie Risacher: Records five steals in loss
Risacher ended Wednesday's 128-110 loss to Houston with four points (2-7 FG, 0-4 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists and five steals over 27 minutes.
Risacher salvaged what was otherwise a disappointing performance, recording a career-high five steals. The jury is still out when it comes to Risacher's projected value, although most are beginning to lose patience. He will get an opportunity to turn things around in Dallas, but will need to offer more on the offensive end, should he wish to play a consistent role. Assuming the steals are more of an anomaly than a regular occurrence, he remains a stream-level player only at this point.

Mavericks' Max Christie: Struggles in season opener
Christie racked up five points (2-8 FG, 1-7 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 128-110 loss to Houston.
Christie took his place in the starting lineup despite dealing with a minor foot concern. While it was good to see him on the floor, his production left a lot to be desired. He provides the team with a legit floor-spacing option, although he typically offers very little else outside of points and threes. On nights such as this, it's clear to see why he should be viewed as more of a stream-level player.

Mavericks' Cooper Flagg: Balls out despite loss
Flagg closed Wednesday's 128-110 loss to the Rockets with 32 points (10-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 11-13 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and three steals across 33 minutes.
Flagg was as advertised, getting it done on both ends of the floor despite what ended up being a comprehensive loss. While there is cause for concern when it comes to what Dallas might be able to achieve this season, it's clear that Flagg is going to be leading from the front, no matter what. His ADP settled in the 6-10 range across most formats, meaning a lot of fantasy managers could have their season riding on his production.

Mavericks' Zaccharie Risacher: Not starting Wednesday
Risacher won't start in Wednesday's game against Houston.
Risacher will move back to the bench to begin the 2026-27 campaign. However, with Santi Aldama (knee), Dereck Lively (foot) and Caleb Martin (thumb) unavailable, Risacher should be on the floor more than not on Opening Night.

Mavericks' Max Christie: Starting Wednesday
Christie will start Wednesday's game against the Rockets.
Christie will return to the starting lineup after being held out of Friday's preseason finale. As a result, Zaccharie Risacher will retreat to the second unit. In 68 regular-season starts last year, Christie averaged 12.6 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.4 triples, 2.0 assists and 0.6 steals in 29.5 minutes per contest.

Clayton signed a two-way contract with the Mavericks on Wednesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

The No. 18 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft appeared in 69 regular-season games (six starts) between the Jazz and Grizzlies in his rookie campaign, averaging 7.8 points, 4.0 assists, 2.0 rebounds and 0.6 steals while shooting 38.4 percent from the field in 20.4 minutes per contest.
