Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Starting Wednesday
Gafford is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's matchup with Minnesota, Christian Clark of The Athletic reports.
Joining Gafford in the first unit for Wednesday's game will be Max Christie, Naji Marshall, Caleb Martin and P.J. Washington. Across 20 starts this season, Gafford has registered averages of 9.1 points, 7.2 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Limited minutes in return
Gafford (ankle) racked up two points (0-1 FG, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two blocks and one assist over 16 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 116-110 loss to the Lakers.
The 27-year-old center had missed the prior four games due to an ankle injury, and while Gafford was eased back into action, he managed to make an impact at the rim. With Anthony Davis (finger) likely out for another month or more and with Dereck Lively (foot) done for the season, Gafford should move back into the starting five eventually, but the Mavericks could be cautious with him on the second half of a back-to-back Sunday in Milwaukee.

Gafford (ankle) will play in Saturday's game against the Lakers.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Officially probable for Saturday
Gafford (ankle) is probable for Saturday's game against the Lakers.
Gafford is on the injury report with a right ankle sprain, but Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reported earlier Friday that the big man is expected to play Saturday. The 27-year-old has started 20 of 29 games this season and is averaging 7.7 points and 7.5 rebounds in 20.1 minutes over his past 10 appearances. Gafford's anticipated return to action may cut into Dwight Powell's fantasy appeal.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Will play Saturday
Gafford (ankle) will play Saturday against the Lakers, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Gafford, who has missed the past four games for Dallas, did "everything" at Friday's practice, according to coach Jason Kidd. With Gafford set to return, Dwight Powell could see his fantasy appeal shrink after putting up a double-double in 27 minutes against the Warriors on Thursday.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Ruled out for Thursday
Gafford (ankle) won't play Thursday versus the Warriors.
Gafford will miss his fourth straight game due to a right ankle sprain, with his absence clearing the way for Dwight Powell and Moussa Cisse to absorb all of the minutes at center. Dallas had initially listed Gafford as questionable for Thursday's game before downgrading him to doubtful and then out, so he presumably has a chance at returning to action Saturday versus the Lakers.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Questionable for Thursday
Gafford (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game versus the Warriors.
Gafford has missed the past three games for the Mavericks, but this is the first time he's received the questionable tag since going down, which indicates progress.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Won't return Wednesday
Gafford has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against Denver due to a right ankle sprain.
Gafford missed Dallas' most recent game due to the same injury, and he seemingly aggravated the issue Wednesday. He logged six points (2-2 FG, 2-4 FT) and 10 rebounds across 18 minutes before exiting. Gafford's absence will likely mean more opportunities for Dwight Powell. Gafford's next chance to play will come Thursday against Utah.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Out with ankle sprain
Gafford won't play in Monday's game against the Nets due to a sprained right ankle, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
The Mavericks made Gafford a late addition to the injury report, which was an omen that his status was in serious jeopardy Monday. Dallas is now down its top three big men, with Anthony Davis (finger) and Dereck Lively (foot) out, which leaves the team with Moussa Cisse (shoulder), who's likely to play, and Dwight Powell to split the minutes at center.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Questionable for Monday
Gafford (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Nets.
Gafford was a late addition to the injury report, and that's usually a bad sign in fantasy hoops. If Gafford is unable to give it a go, the Mavericks could lean heavily on Moussa Cisse (shoulder).

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Modest production in start
Gafford ended with six points (2-6 FG, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds and one block across 25 minutes during Saturday's 125-107 loss to Chicago.
Gafford started at center, a role he is likely to fill for the foreseeable future. However, that's really where the good news ends, as he finished with yet another underwhelming fantasy line. While he should probably be considered a must-roster player, he is certainly not going to be suitable for everyone. Moussa Cisse was a far better option in this one, logging 19 minutes off the bench. If Dallas opts to pack things in for the season at some point, it's possible Cisse moves ahead of Gafford.
