Fantasy Impact
Branham is one of eight players on the move in this huge trade revolving around Anthony Davis. We'll have to wait till the end of the trade deadline on Thursday to see if the Mavericks make any other moves to have a better idea of his potential role.

Malaki Branham scored a team-high 17 points (6-9 FG, 4-6 3PT, 1-2 FT) in 22 minutes off the bench during Washington's 31-point loss to the Lakers on Friday.
Fantasy Impact
Branham's 17 points were a season-high and was just the fourth time this year that he scored at least 10 points in a game. His four three-pointers were also a season-best. Branham is averaging 4.6 points, 1.6 rebounds, and 0.8 assists in 28 games this year.
Malaki Branham is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks.
Fantasy Impact
Branham is dealing with right calf soreness after appearing in both games of the Washington Wizards’ back-to-back set. If he is unable to suit up, Justin Champagnie and Will Riley could see additional minutes.
