Mavericks' Spencer Dinwiddie: Comes close to double-double
Rotowire
Dinwiddie recorded 19 points (6-16 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 7-9 FT), three rebounds, seven assists, one block and three steals in 37 minutes during Thursday's 118-95 loss to the Clippers.
Dinwiddie made his first start of the season Thursday since the Mavericks were very depleted in the backcourt due to the absences of Kyrie Irving (shoulder) and Luka Doncic (heel). The veteran floor general responded well by coming close to a double-double, ending three dimes shy of that outcome. Over his last 10 games, Dinwiddie has averaged 13.7 points, 4.9 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.2 steals per contest.

Mavericks' Spencer Dinwiddie: Held without a point
Rotowire
Dinwiddie registered zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds and four assists across 21 minutes during Sunday's 143-133 win over the Warriors.
Dinwiddie was held without a point for the sixth time this campaign. He remains hard to trust in fantasy formats, and he's currently outside the top 200 in nine-category formats with averages of 7.8 points, 3.1 assists, 1.8 rebounds and 1.3 three-pointers in 21.4 minutes per contest.

Mavericks' Spencer Dinwiddie: Scores nine points
Rotowire
Dinwiddie racked up nine points (3-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, four assists and three steals across 23 minutes during Tuesday's 118-104 loss to the Thunder.
Dinwiddie had an inefficient night on the offensive end, something that's been the norm for most of the season. Through 23 regular-season contests, he's hitting 40.1 percent from the field with averages of 8.2 points, 3.0 assists, 1.8 rebounds, 0.7 steals and 1.4 three-pointers. He's hard to trust outside of deeper fantasy formats.

Mavericks' Spencer Dinwiddie: Scores 20 points off bench
Rotowire
Dinwiddie had 20 points (5-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 8-8 FT), one rebound, five assists and two steals across 34 minutes during Sunday's 137-131 victory over the Trail Blazers.
Dinwiddie was the third-highest scorer for the Mavericks in this win, and the veteran floor general continues to make a sizable impact off the bench for Dallas. He's arguably going through his most productive stretch of the season, as he's scored at least 20 points in three of his last four appearances. The uptick in usage rate is directly tied to the absences Dallas has had of late, with Klay Thompson (foot), Kyrie Irving (shoulder) and Naji Marshall (illness) all missing Sunday's contest.

Mavericks' Spencer Dinwiddie: Hands out nine assists Wednesday
Rotowire
Dinwiddie totaled 21 points (8-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, nine assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 129-114 win over the Knicks.
Dinwiddie missed only three of his 11 shots from the field and finished just one assist away from recording a double-double. However, fantasy managers shouldn't get overly excited about this performance. Dinwiddie is not expected to crack the starting lineup soon. Coach Jason Kidd has preferred to start Quentin Grimes and Jaden Hardy when Luka Doncic (wrist), Kyrie Irving and/or Klay Thompson (foot) have been sidelined, so Dinwiddie's fantasy upside remains limited despite an occasional boom.

Rotowire
Dinwiddie had zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds, two steals, one assist and one block across 16 minutes during Thursday's 115-113 loss to the Jazz.
The veteran guard took a backseat to Jaden Hardy and Quentin Grimes with Kyrie Irving (shoulder) sidelined. Dinwiddie failed to score in limited attempts and has shot only 32.6 percent from the field across 11 regular-season appearances. During the 2024-25 campaign, the 31-year-old has averaged 3.9 points, 1.8 assists and 1.1 rebounds across 17.5 minutes per game.

Mavericks' Spencer Dinwiddie: Dishes out season-high four dimes
Rotowire
Dinwiddie totaled three points (1-8 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and four assists across 22 minutes during Wednesday's 119-99 victory over the Bulls.
Despite operating as Dallas' primary backup point guard, Dinwiddie has failed to put many volume stats. The 31-year-old guard is averaging 5.0 points, 1.9 assists and 1.4 rebounds in 16.9 minutes across his seven appearances. Dinwiddie is also struggling with his efficiency, posting 34.4/27.3/70.0 shooting splits.
Dinwiddie totaled three points (1-5 FG, 1-5 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one steal over 18 minutes during Tuesday's 120-114 win over Minnesota.
Dinwiddie logged the seventh most playing time among Mavericks on Tuesday, trailing only the starters and Dereck Lively's half of the team's center platoon. Through three appearances, nine of Dinwiddie's 10 shots have come from beyond the arc.

Mavericks' Spencer Dinwiddie: Joins Dallas on one-year deal
Rotowire
Dinwiddie and the Mavericks agreed to a one-year deal Monday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Dinwiddie will be reunited with the Mavericks again after spending part of two seasons with them before being traded back to Brooklyn in February of 2023. Dinwiddie is coming off a lackluster stint with the Lakers, but he's a proven veteran and could play a key role off Dallas' bench. The guard holds career regular-season averages of 13.3 points, 5.2 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.6 three-pointers.

Lakers' Spencer Dinwiddie: Non-factor in win
Rotowire
Dinwiddie recorded zero points (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist over five minutes during Tuesday's 110-106 Play-In Game victory over the Pelicans.
Dinwiddie barely touched the floor in the win, managing just five minutes of playing time. The Lakers opted to go with Gabe Vincent as the primary backup, a move that could very well stick given his defensive upside. Tuesday's win means the Lakers will now go on to face the Nuggets in the first round of the playoffs.

Rotowire
Dinwiddie posted 18 points (4-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 7-7 FT), five rebounds and seven assists in 36 minutes during Sunday's 127-117 loss to the Timberwolves.
The Lakers sacrificed a bit of size by implementing Dinwiddie amid LeBron James' (illness) absence, but the combo worked out fairly well thanks to a balanced line from the former Net. Dinwiddie wasn't afraid to mix it up and made the Timberwolves pay with a perfect night from the charity stripe. He also collected seven assists, his highest total since joining the Lakers.

Lakers' Spencer Dinwiddie: Posts 26 points in spot start
Rotowire
Dinwiddie posted 26 points (8-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 8-9 FT), five assists, two rebounds, two blocks and one steal over 35 minutes during Sunday's 150-145 victory over Indiana.
With D'Angelo Russell (illness) sidelined, Dinwiddie stepped in and turned in his best performance as a Laker. The guard hasn't scored more than 11 points during his tenure in Los Angeles, but his fill-in performance shows that the team's backcourt depth is in great shape. His spot on the depth chart limits any fantasy viability, however.

Dinwiddie will get his second start as a member of the Lakers due to D'Angelo Russell (illness) being out of the lineup. In his previous start, Dinwiddie posted five points, three assists, two rebounds, two blocks and a steal in 34 minutes, so fantasy managers should not rush to add him to their lineup in most situations.
