Mavericks' Olivier-Maxence Prosper: Plays 12 minutes
Prosper had six points (2-4 FG, 2-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist over 12 minutes during Tuesday's 118-104 loss to the Thunder.
With P.J. Washington (illness) out of the lineup, Prosper saw a small handful of extra minutes. He's been out of the rotation for most of the season, and he's rumored to be on the trade block if the Mavericks look to upgrade their roster at the deadline.

Mavericks' Spencer Dinwiddie: Scores nine points
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' Dereck Lively: Pulls down 13 rebounds
Lively registered five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 FT), 13 rebounds, five assists and one block in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 118-104 loss to Oklahoma City.
Lively was moved to the bench for the start of the second half in favor of Daniel Gafford, but the former still saw a much larger workload. Lively recorded at least five assists for the third time in his career and posted double-digit rebounds for the seventh time this season. He's on pace to record 10th-round value in nine-category formats for the season due to efficient shooting with strong rebounding and shot-blocking.

Mavericks' Klay Thompson: Notches 19 points
Thompson notched 19 points (7-14 FG, 5-10 3Pt) and four rebounds over 28 minutes during Tuesday's 118-104 loss to the Thunder.
Thompson had a productive outing offensively, but his peripheral stats were lacking. That's been the case for most of the regular season, as he's averaging just 3.5 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.3 blocks in 27.6 minutes per contest.

Mavericks' Luka Doncic: Double-doubles in loss
Doncic provided 16 points (5-15 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists and four steals across 40 minutes during Tuesday's 118-104 loss to the Thunder.
The Thunder were able to effectively slow Doncic down, limiting him to 16 points -- he's been held to 16 or fewer points just three times this season. Doncic also turned the ball over a season-high six times in the defeat. He was red hot coming into Tuesday and is still averaging 28.0 points, 10.6 rebounds, 8.6 assists, 3.4 steals and 4.0 three-pointers over his last five outings.

Mavericks' Naji Marshall: Ties team scoring lead in return
Marshall (illness) tallied 19 points (7-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 29 minutes in Tuesday's 118-104 loss to the Thunder.
Despite the Mavericks having both Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving available for the NBA Cup quarterfinal matchup, Marshall -- who had missed the team's previous four contests -- finished as the surprise co-leader in scoring for Dallas along with Klay Thompson. Though he hadn't displayed much offensive game during the first four seasons of his career in New Orleans, Marshall has shown growth so far during his time in Dallas, as he's averaging a career-high 11.9 points per contest. He's been especially hot over his last eight appearances, posting 17.8 points per contest on 61.1 percent shooting from the field and 46.4 percent from three-point range. Both marks are well above his career-long rates of 44.3 and 31.3 percent, respectively, so fantasy managers who have been riding the wave of Marshall's recent production should anticipate some regression eventually heading his way.

Mavericks' Brandon Williams: Misses Tuesday's loss with injury
Williams was ruled out ahead of Tuesday's 118-104 loss to the Thunder due to a right thumb sprain.
One of Dallas' three two-way players, Williams has seen the overwhelming majority of his playing time in the G League this season, so his absence Tuesday didn't have any impact on head coach Jason Kidd's rotation. Williams will likely head back to the Texas Legends once he's moved past the thumb injury.

Mavericks' Dwight Powell: Non-existent role continues
Powell notched no counting stats in one minute during Tuesday's 118-104 loss to the Thunder.
Powell continues to play a limited role off the bench, averaging 8.1 minutes per game across 19 games. The Mavericks have two centers ahead of Powell in the rotation, something that does not bode well for his immediate playing future. At this stage, Powell would need both Dereck Lively and Daniel Gafford out of the way to have any chance of playing a meaningful role.

Mavericks' Jazian Gortman: Rare appearance in loss
Gortman produced no counting stats in one minute during Tuesday's 118-104 loss to the Thunder.
Gortman suited up for just the sixth time this season, bringing his season tally to 14 minutes. He has scored a total of just eight points, and at this point, there is no reason to think he will be playing a sizeable role for this Mavericks team.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Logs 16 minutes in loss
Gafford registered nine points (4-4 FG, 1-3 FT), two rebounds and one assist in 16 minutes during Tuesday's 118-104 loss to Oklahoma City.
Gafford's playing time continues to trend in the wrong direction, having played fewer than 19 minutes in three of the past four games. After moving to the bench about a month ago, Gafford's role has fluctuated, resulting in somewhat muted production. While it is clear Dereck Lively has earned the trust of the coaching staff, there is a chance Gafford can force his way back into a 20+ minute role at some point in the near future.

With P.J. Washington (illness) sidelined, Grimes will join the starting five for the eighth time this season. Across seven starts, the 24-year-old has averaged 16.6 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.3 steals while shooting 47.7 percent from beyond the arc in 29.6 minutes per contest.

Mavericks' Naji Marshall: Good to go Tuesday
Coach Jason Kidd said that Marshall (illness) will play under a minutes restriction in Tuesday's NBA Cup Quarterfinals matchup against the Thunder, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
The 26-year-old will return to action after a four-game absence due to an illness, though Kidd expects he'll be limited to around 25 minutes. Over his last five outings (three starts), Marshall has averaged 19.0 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.0 assists across 25.4 minutes per contest.

Mavericks' Naji Marshall: Expected to suit up Tuesday
Marshall (illness) is expected to play in Tuesday's NBA Cup Quarterfinals matchup against the Thunder, NBA writer Marc Stein reports.
The 26-year-old is expected to return from a four-game absence due to an illness, and he should see a sizable role with P.J. Washington (illness) unlikely to suit up. Over his last five outings (three starts), Marshall has averaged 19.0 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.0 assists across 25.4 minutes per contest.
