Hartenstein continues to log a modest workload for the Thunder with the big man nursing a couple nagging injuries, but that didn't prevent him from putting up a huge stat line Saturday. He remains on pace for a 10th-round finish in nine-category fantasy formats on a per-game basis.

Miller made his first career start in Thursday's loss to New Orleans. While he struggled shooting the ball, he still finished the contest by amassing 11 points, eight boards, five assists and one steal. However, with Kawhi Leonard (ankle) available, Miller will head back to the bench.

Gafford will start Saturday's game against the Clippers.

Nembhard will come off the bench for Saturday's game against the Clippers.

Nembhard's streak of four consecutive starts will come to an end Saturday night. Max Christie, Naji Marshall, Cooper Flagg, P.J. Washington and Daniel Gafford make up the Mavericks' first unit. Nembhard averaged 7.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 7.3 assists across 25.8 minutes during his four-game start streak.

Dunn isn't part of the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Dallas, NBA writer Justin Russo reports.

Smart (groin) has returned to Saturday's game against the Magic, Khobi Price of The California Post reports.

Smart departed the contest in the second quarter and went back to the locker room after sustaining an apparent groin injury. However, he's been cleared to return and has checked back into the contest.
