Daniel Gafford posts double-double Monday against Trailblazers

Daniel Gafford posted a double-double for the Mavericks Monday night, grabbing 10 rebounds and chipping in 17 points (7-9 FG, 3-4 FT) while also recording one steal and blocking three shots in a 125-122 loss to the Trailblazers.

Fantasy Impact

Gafford continues a modest stretch on both ends of the floor, finishing with five or more rebounds and six or more points in each of his last three games. The 27-year-old has been one of many inconsistent options in the Dallas lineup for head coach Jason Kidd, averaging 8.2 points and 6.0 rebounds per game to go along with a usage rate of 14.6% so far this season.

Daniel Gafford (ankle) off injury report Thursday

Daniel Gafford (ankle) is off of the injury report for Thursday's game against the Detroit Pistons.

Fantasy Impact

The big man was dealing with an ankle injury earlier in the week, but it's no longer an issue for him and he carries no injury designation ahead of Thursday's game. He will be primed for a full workload in this tough matchup against the Pistons, although his fantasy output isn't likely to be particularly high.

Daniel Gafford (ankle) available Monday

Daniel Gafford is available for Monday's game against the Jazz.

Fantasy Impact

Gafford is good to go after being listed as questionable. He will return from a three-game absence. He should see more run with Anthony Davis (calf) sidelined.

Daniel Gafford (ankle) present for Monday's shootaround

Daniel Gafford was present for shootaround and remains questionable for the game against the Utah Jazz.

Fantasy Impact

Gafford remains questionable for Monday’s contest, but it’s an encouraging sign that he was able to participate in Monday morning shootaround. He’s likely to be a game-time decision, so fantasy managers should monitor the Dallas Mavericks injury report. If he’s unable to play, Dwight Powell and Moussa Cisse could see a bump in minutes.

Daniel Gafford (ankle) questionable Monday

Daniel Gafford is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Utah Jazz.

Fantasy Impact

Gafford has been limited to one game in December due to a right ankle injury. The Dallas Mavericks are expected to evaluate him during Monday’s shootaround and potentially pregame warmups to determine his status. If he is unable to play, Anthony Davis (calf), who is currently questionable, could handle the majority of the minutes at center if available, while Dwight Powell and Moussa Cisse could also see a bump in minutes.
