Daniel Gafford (ankle) ruled out Monday

Daniel Gafford has been ruled out for Monday’s game against the Nets.

Fantasy Impact

Gafford will be sidelined after he was downgraded to questionable earlier in the day. Moussa Cisse should be in line for a bigger role with Gafford, Anthony Davis, Dereck Lively II and P.J. Washington all sidelined.

Daniel Gafford (ankle) downgraded to questionable Monday

Daniel Gafford has been downgraded to questionable for Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets.

Fantasy Impact

Gafford was a late addition to the injury report with a right ankle sprain and will likely test his ankle during pregame warmups before his status is determined. Fantasy managers should check the injury report before tipoff for confirmation. If he is unable to play, Moussa Cisse (shoulder), who was upgraded to probable, along with Dwight Powell, would likely see an uptick in minutes.

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.
