Mavericks' Marvin Bagley: Logs 20 minutes in return
Rotowire
Bagley (neck) produced six points (2-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and two assists across 20 minutes during Sunday's 122-92 loss to the Raptors.
Bagley made his return to action following a five-game absence due to a neck sprain, stepping back into his usual role as the Mavericks' top backup center. So long as Daniel Gafford is available for Dallas, Bagley may have difficulty reaching the 25-minute mark in most games, which makes it tough to rely on the big man outside of deeper leagues as anything more than a streaming option for rebounds and field-goal percentage.

Wizards' Marvin Bagley: Efficient shooting in return
Rotowire
Bagley (back) accounted for 15 points (7-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt), six rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block across 19 minutes in Sunday's 116-112 win over the Kings.
Bagley made his first appearance since Jan. 19 after being sidelined due to an illness and a thoracic strain. Though he typically handles a reserve role, Bagley moved into the starting five in his return while top center Alex Sarr (calf) sat out. Though Bagley was a highly efficient scorer during his time on the court, he ended up sitting out the final 16 minutes of the game while the Wizards leaned more heavily on their second unit to finish out the contest. If Sarr remains out for Tuesday's game against the 31-18 Knicks, expect Bagley to start and take on a greater minutes load, since the 13-35 Wizards won't be as incentivized to bench starters like they did against another non-contending team in the 12-39 Kings.
