Availability



Daniel Gafford (ankle) questionable for Friday

Daniel Gafford (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Fantasy Impact

The big man aggravated his ankle injury on Wednesday and was not able to finish the game as a result. He is now questionable to play on Friday as well, and it's unclear if he's trending in one direction or the other right now. Look for Dwight Powell to see more work if Gafford is unable to play against the Thunder.

Daniel Gafford suffers ankle injury Wednesday

Daniel Gafford left Wednesday’s game against the Heat with an ankle injury.

Fantasy Impact

Gafford entered Wednesday on the injury report already with an ankle issue. He left the game in the third quarter. If he misses time, Anthony Davis should see more run at center for Dallas.

Daniel Gafford (ankle) will play Wednesday

Daniel Gafford (ankle) will play in Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat.

Fantasy Impact

The big man is set to play on Wednesday, despite initially being uncertain to play due to an ankle injury. He should see a full workload and be a good fantasy option against Miami, especially with P.J. Washington (ankle) set to be sidelined for the Mavericks.

Daniel Gafford (ankle) participates in shootaround

Participation in Wednesday's morning shootaround has Daniel Gafford trending toward a return for the evening's contest against the Heat. According to Abby Jones of DLLS Sports, the big man was active during the session despite dealing with an ankle issue.

Fantasy Impact

While his presence at shootaround is an encouraging signal for his availability, the Mavericks are expected to wait until he completes pregame warmups before making a final decision.
