Mavericks' Klay Thompson: Shooting slump continues
Klay Thompson had 12 points (4-13 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), four rebounds and two assists across 34 minutes during Friday's 114-113 loss to the Suns.Thompson has been relegated to the role of being a third option in the Mavs' offensive scheme behind Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, and he's definitively struggling to adjust to having fewer touches than ever in his career.

Mavericks' Klay Thompson: Scores 19 points in loss
Klay Thompson closed with 19 points (7-16 FG, 5-12 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 33 minutes during Saturday's 114-102 loss to the Suns.Most of Thompson's fantasy upside is tied to what he can do as a scorer, and even though two games are not enough to draw conclusions, it seems he's enjoying a solid start to life in Dallas. Thompson has scored more than 15 points in his first two outings this season and is shooting an impressive 11-for-22 from deep. Maintaining those numbers, even if there's a regression in the efficiency department, will keep him as a strong fantasy option across all formats.

Mavericks' Klay Thompson: Breaks record in Mavs debut
Klay Thompson posted 22 points (7-13 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and three steals in 26 minutes during Thursday's 120-109 victory over San Antonio.Thompson drained six of his 10 three-pointers in his debut with the Dallas Mavericks, and he established a franchise record for a team debut with that mark. Even though the Mavericks offense will run through Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, there's no question that having a third option of Thompson's caliber increases the team's upside on the offensive end of the court considerably. Even if he doesn't hover around the 20-point mark regularly, Thompson should provide decent fantasy upside in category-based leagues due to his three-point shooting and scoring potential, but his upside in standard formats will be tied to what he can accomplish in peripheral stats.
