Klay Thompson

Klay Thompson (illness) has been cleared to play in Monday's game against the Denver Nuggets.

Fantasy Impact

Thompson will be available to play on Monday, despite previously being on the injury report due to an illness that he's dealing with. Fantasy managers should not have high expectations for him from a fantasy perspective in this matchup, however.

Klay Thompson delivered his highest scoring output of the season in Saturday's victory over the Clippers, pouring in 23 points on efficient 8-of-13 shooting. The veteran marksman did the bulk of his damage from deep, connecting on six three-pointers—including a sizzling 6-of-8 effort in the second half—while adding three rebounds and an assist.

Fantasy Impact

With Kyrie Irving and Anthony Davis sidelined, Thompson has capitalized on a more prominent role to shake off a sluggish start to his Dallas tenure. He continues to hold value primarily as a specialist for points and triples. Thompson will look to carry this shooting momentum into a four-game week that begins Monday against the Nuggets.

Klay Thompson (knee) is now available for Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Fantasy Impact

The veteran will be available to play on Saturday, despite initially being listed as unavailable to play due to a knee issue. He should see a full workload in this matchup against the Clippers.

Fantasy Impact

Thompson is not going to play on Saturday. He is being held out as part of the planned injury maintenance for his knee injury. He should be back in the near future, and Brandon Williams will see more work until then.

Klay Thompson led the second unit for the Mavericks Saturday night, scoring 22 points (7-17 FG, 6-12 3PT, 2-2 FT) while also grabbing one rebound in a 102-96 loss to the Grizzlies.

Fantasy Impact

Thompson continues a modest stretch on the offensive end of the floor, finishing with five or more points in each of his last five games. The veteran sharpshooter continues to offer head coach Jason Kidd a boom-or-bust option on the offensive end of the floor as part of an underwhelming Dallas lineup, averaging 10.1 points per game to go along with a usage rate of 20.6% so far this season.
