Thompson provided nine points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt), three rebounds and one steal in 23 minutes during Thursday's 124-104 loss to the Lakers.
After getting a day of rest Tuesday, Thompson was back in his usual role Thursday. The Mavericks likely won't be playing for much down the stretch, so it's really hard to get excited about Thompson's outlook.

Rotowire
Thompson (rest) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Phoenix.
Thompson isn't listed with an injury, but Dallas may opt to rest the veteran wing Tuesday.

If Thompson sits, additional minutes could open up for recently acquired Khris Middleton, who's in line to make his team debut.

Rotowire
Thompson logged 16 points (6-15 FG, 4-11 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 27 minutes during Thursday's 123-121 loss to Charlotte.
Thompson returned to the rotation after missing the loss to the Timberwolves on Wednesday and notched his best scoring output since dropping 23 points against the Jazz on Jan. 17. The veteran sharpshooter is not the player he once was, but he might be useful in category-based leagues due to his three-point shooting. He's making 3.5 threes per game and hitting 43.7 percent of his attempts since the beginning of January.

Rotowire
Thompson (knee) won't play in Wednesday's game against Minnesota, per Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com.
The veteran sharpshooter is sitting out the front end of this back-to-back set with left knee soreness. Head coach Jason Kidd is optimistic that Thompson will be able to suit up Thursday against the Hornets. The banged-up Mavericks should turn to Caleb Martin to soak up extra minutes Wednesday, and Jaden Hardy is an option to enter the rotation and handle decent run off the bench.

Mavericks' Klay Thompson: Catches fire from deep
Rotowire
Thompson totaled 26 points (10-18 FG, 6-13 3Pt), one rebound, six assists, one block and one steal across 23 minutes during Thursday's 144-122 win over the Jazz.
Thompson sank six threes in a game for the second time this week. He saw only 23 minutes of action against Utah as the Mavericks had a 33-point lead after three quarters, and his hot shooting was a big reason why. Thompson also passed Damian Lillard for fourth all-time in made threes. As long as Dallas' injury report remains lengthy, Thompson should handle increased usage on a nightly basis.

Mavericks' Klay Thompson: Drains six threes in Monday's win
Rotowire
Thompson supplied 18 points (6-13 FG, 6-9 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 27 minutes off the bench during Monday's 113-105 win over the Nets.
The veteran forward tied his season high in made three-pointers, a mark he's reached five times so far in 2025-26. Thompson has been running hot and cold recently, but he's hot right now, averaging 17.0 points, 4.7 threes, 2.3 boards and 2.3 assists in 25.3 minutes over the last three games.

Mavericks' Klay Thompson: Pours in 23 points
Rotowire
Thompson posted 23 points (7-13 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds and five assists across 29 minutes during Thursday's 116-114 loss to the Jazz.
This was a strong showing for Thompson in what's been a very underwhelming campaign so far. The Mavericks dropped to 14-24 with this loss, and there's been speculation that Thompson could be acquired at the trade deadline if the franchise ends up pivoting towards a rebuild. As for the short term, Thompson may have more touches coming his way if Anthony Davis (hand) ends up missing time.

Mavericks' Klay Thompson: Another single-digit performance
Rotowire
Thompson accumulated nine points (3-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and one assist over 22 minutes during Saturday's 110-104 win over Houston.
Thompson scored in single digits for the third time in the past five games, arguably his most passive stretch of the season. With his best well behind him, Thompson's entire fantasy value is now reliant on his three-point shooting. In 33 appearances thus far, he has averaged just 11.1 points and 2.7 three-pointers in 21.7 minutes per game, leaving him well off the standard-league radar.
