The Mavericks quickly match the offer sheet Cisse signed with New York on the same day.

The New York Knicks have signed Moussa Cisse to a 2-year offer sheet.

Fantasy Impact

Cisse is a restricted free agent, so the Dallas Mavericks will have until Monday to match the contract. The 23-year-old big man averaged 4.5 points and 5.7 rebounds per game in 13.9 minutes per game in his rookie year.

Moussa Cisse scored a career-high 17 points (6-15 FG, 5-6 FT) and grabbed a career-best 20 rebounds in the Mavericks' 149-128 victory over the Bulls on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Cisse posted his second double-double of the season on Sunday, but he did it in much more remarkable fashion with career-bests in points and rebounds. His first double-double was a 10-point, 13-rebound effort against Utah on January 15. Cisse averaged 11.7 points and 12.3 rebounds in three games in April.

Daniel Gafford (shoulder) exited early Tuesday, and while Dwight Powell drew the second-half start, it was Cissé who benefited most from the vacancy — 13 rebounds, eight points (4-of-7 FGs), three steals, and one block off the bench against the Bucks.

Fantasy Impact

If Gafford can't go Friday against the Magic, Cissé is the name to watch for a significant frontcourt role.

Moussa Cisse has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Lakers.

Fantasy Impact

Cisse will be sidelined as expected after being downgraded to doubtful. Daniel Gafford is set to return to his starting role.
