Top Mavericks News

  • Mavericks' Maxi Kleber: Upgraded to doubtful for Friday

    Kleber (hamstring) has been upgraded to doubtful for Friday's contest against Phoenix, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Kleber has not played since Oct. 26 due to his hamstring injury, but being upgraded to doubtful is an encouraging sign that he may make his return soon. With P.J. Washington (knee) also out, Naji Marshall and Olivier-Maxence Prosper will see extended playing time until one of Kleber or Washington returns.

  • Mavericks' Dereck Lively: Out again Friday

    Lively (shoulder) will not play in Friday's game against the Suns, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Lively will miss a third consecutive game, and he will join P.J. Washington (knee) and potentially Maxi Kleber (hamstring) as the key inactives for Friday's game. With Lively out, Daniel Gafford and Dwight Powell will likely occupy the team's minutes at center.

  • Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Still out Friday

    Washington (knee) won't play in Friday's game versus the Suns, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Washington will miss his second straight contest Friday while dealing with a sprained right knee. Naji Marshall should continue to start in his absence. Washington's next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Denver.

  • Mavericks' Quentin Grimes: Solid contribution off bench

    Grimes put up seven points (3-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt), six rebounds and two assists over 16 minutes during Wednesday's 119-99 win over Chicago.

    Grimes has improved his efficiency since the start of the season, shooting 41.7 percent from beyond the arc over his last five contests. However, his role seems to largely be dependent on whether he can cash in a triple (15.0 minutes, 7.0 points per game when he makes a three compared to 10.8 minutes, 1.4 points per game when he does not make one). If Grimes can improve his offensive consistency, he will be able to establish a larger role for himself moving forward.

  • Mavericks' Jaden Hardy: Provides spark off bench

    Hardy notched 11 points (4-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt) and two assists in 13 minutes during Wednesday's 119-99 victory over Chicago.

    Hardy was Dallas' leading bench scorer during Wednesday's win. The 22-year-old guard is averaging 4.1 points in 10.9 minutes across seven appearances this season.

  • Mavericks' Luka Doncic: Tallies season-high four steals

    Doncic supplied 27 points (8-19 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 8-9 FT), seven rebounds, 13 assists and four steals over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 119-99 win over Chicago.

    Doncic has now recorded double-doubles in back-to-back contests. After registering four swipes against the Bulls, the superstar guard is now averaging 1.4 steals on the season. However, Doncic is struggling with his efficiency, shooting just 40.2 percent from the field and 32.9 percent from three across eight appearances in 2024-25.

  • Mavericks' Spencer Dinwiddie: Dishes out season-high four dimes

    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.

  • Mavericks' Brandon Williams: Makes garbage-time cameo Wednesday

    Williams recorded two points (1-1 FG), two rebounds and one assist across six minutes during Wednesday's 119-99 victory over the Bulls.

    Williams made his third appearance of the season, with all having come during garbage time at the tail end of blowouts. Dallas took control early Wednesday and never let the Bulls keep the game competitive, allowing Williams to help close out the contest. The two-way player will likely head to the Texas Legends in the coming days once the G League season gets underway.

  • Mavericks' Naji Marshall: Modest performance in spot start

    Marshall closed with eight points (4-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and two steals across 21 minutes during Wednesday's 119-99 win over Chicago.

    Marshall moved into the starting lineup Wednesday, replacing P.J. Washington, who was ruled out with a knee injury. This game was all over but the shouting heading into the second half, allowing the second and third units to play additional minutes down the stretch. It appears as though Marshall will remain in the starting lineup until Washington gets back on the court. Although his production is typically low-volume, Marshall's ability to contribute across multiple categories should keep him on the floor.

  • Mavericks' Markieff Morris: Makes season debut Wednesday

    Morris ended with zero points (0-1 FG), two rebounds and two assists across five minutes during Wednesday's 119-99 victory over the Bulls.

    The Mavericks dominated Wednesday's matchup with the Bulls, allowing Morris to dust the cobwebs off for five minutes. Now toward the back end of his career, Morris is mostly a veteran locker room presence on most nights. Even when he does play, he is unlikely to deliver meaningful contributions, as we saw in this one.

  • Mavericks' Naji Marshall: Starting sans Washington

    Marshall is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Bulls, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

    Marshall will fill in for P.J. Washington (knee) in the first unit, marking his first start since joining the Mavericks this offseason. Marshall saw a season-high 34 minutes Monday and delivered 20 points, five rebounds, six assists and a steal on 8-of-9 shooting from the field.

  • Mavericks' Dereck Lively: Officially out Wednesday

    Lively (shoulder) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Bulls.

    Lively was initially listed as questionable but got downgraded to doubtful Wednesday morning, so this doesn't come as a surprise. It'll mark Lively's second straight absence due to a right shoulder sprain, and his next chance to suit up will come Friday versus the Suns. With P.J. Washington (knee) also unavailable, Naji Marshall, Daniel Gafford and Dwight Powell are all candidates for increased playing time, while Olivier-Maxence Prosper or Kessler Edwards could enter the rotation.

  • Mavericks' Dereck Lively: Downgraded to doubtful

    Lively (shoulder) has been downgraded to doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Bulls.

    Lively was previously considered questionable to play. With the second-year big man expected to be on the shelf, Daniel Gafford is likely to see a boost in fantasy value. Dwight Powell could possibly get an uptick as well.

  • Mavericks' Dwight Powell: Scoreless again in loss

    Powell played seven minutes in Monday's 134-127 loss to the Pacers and did not record a stat.

    While Powell has yet to contribute meaningful minutes this season, his opportunity could come with Maxi Kleber (hamstring) out and Dereck Lively (shoulder) questionable for Wednesday's game versus Chicago. When they return, however, it is likely Powell will see the court only in limited fashion for the majority of contests.

  • Mavericks' Maxi Kleber: Remains out Wednesday

    Kleber (hamstring) is out for Wednesday's game against Chicago.

    Kleber played off the bench in the first two games of the season and hasn't been able to step on the hardwood since. The big man doesn't have a clear timetable for his return.

  • Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Won't play against Chicago

    Washington is out for Wednesday's game versus the Bulls due to a right knee sprain.

    Washington appears to have injured his knee during Tuesday's loss to Indiana and will be held out Wednesday. In his absence, Naji Marshall will likely receive increased playing time. Washington's next chance to suit up is Friday's matchup with Phoenix.

    ... See More ... See Less
  • Mavericks' Dereck Lively: Questionable for Wednesday

    Lively (shoulder) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bulls.

    The second-year big man is dealing with a right shoulder sprain, and the questionable tag suggests he'll be something close to a game-time decision. Lively has averaged 9.3 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.8 blocks across 23.0 minutes per game in six regular-season outings, so losing him would be a huge blow for both head coach Jason Kidd and fantasy managers who have him rostered. If he doesn't play Wednesday, then Dwight Powell should see more minutes as Daniel Gafford's backup option at center.
