Fantasy Impact: Wright played three minutes before leaving Saturday's game with a right adductor strain. The significance of injury is unknown at this time, but it has been reported he is unlikely to play Sunday. Jalen Brunson and J.J. Barea should see an extended role if Wright is ruled out.

Max Kleber contributed seven points (2-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four boards and one assist across 18 minutes in Saturday's 130-84 win over the Pelicans.
Fantasy Impact: Kleber played at least 21 minutes in his last four games, but with the game well in hand, he logged only 18 minutes in Saturday's win. He is averaging career-highs in points, triples, rebounds and free-throw percentage. The Mavericks next scheduled game is Sunday, home against the Kings.

Boban Marjanovic compiled 15 points (6-7 FG, 3-4 FT), 16 rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 22 minutes in Saturday's 130-84 win over the Pelicans.
Fantasy Impact: Marjanovic posted season-highs in points, rebounds and blocks in Saturday's win. He is averaging 7.5 points, 5.5 rebounds and 0.7 assists across 10 games this season. Marjanovic's minutes are to inconsistent to be considered a reliable fantasy option, but he should be owned in deep league formats. The Mavericks next scheduled game is Sunday, home against the Kings.

Kristaps Porzingis generated 13 points (4-11 FG, 0-3 3PT, 5-7 FT) five rebounds, two assists and one steal across 19 minutes in Saturday's 130-84 win over the Pelicans.
Fantasy Impact: Porzingas is averaging a career-low 16.6 points per game, but is logging career-highs in rebounds and triples. He is averaging 16.6 points, 8.7 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 2.0 blocks and 2.0 triples across 21 games this year. Porzingas has been solid this season and is starting to play in back-to-backs, further increasing his fantasy value. The Mavericks next scheduled game is Sunday, home against the Kings.

Luka Doncic provided 26 points (8-15 FG, 2-8 3PT, 8-10 FT), nine assists, six boards and one steal across 26 minutes in Saturday's 130-84 win over the Pelicans.
Fantasy Impact: Doncic has tied Michael Jordan for logging 18 consecutive games with 20 points, five rebounds and five assists. He is averaging 30.1 points, 10.0 rebounds, 9.2 assists and 1.3 steals across 22 games this year. Doncic has been incredible this season and is the number one overall player in fantasy. The Mavericks next scheduled game is Sunday, home against the Kings.

Dwight Powell accumulated 24 points (9-9 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, four assists, two blocks and a steal across 32 minutes in the Mavericks’ 121-114 win over the Timberwolves on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact: Powell put up a season-high 24 points to lead the Mavericks in scoring, though he left late in the game with what was later diagnosed as a left arm contusion. It's unclear if he'll miss any time moving forward.

Justin Jackson didn't attempt a shot and grabbed four rebounds over two minutes in the Mavericks' 114-99 loss to the Mavericks on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact: Jackson was barely on the court in Tuesday's loss, despite having logged at least 23 minutes in two of the Mavericks' last three contests. He's struggled to find minutes in his third NBA season and is averaging a career-low 13.8 per game. He's a reliable shooter with high-scoring upside, though he won't achieve fantasy relevancy without some injuries across the roster.

J.J. Barea went for 12 points (5-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and a steal over 16 minutes in the Mavericks' 114-99 loss to the Mavericks on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact: Barea took the court for just the third time this season thanks to a substantial Clippers' win. The veteran point guard has appeared in just three games all season, though he's scored efficiently in limited action, going for 35 points in 44 minutes overall. Barring injuries, he's not on the fantasy radar thanks to his typically-low usage.

Tim Hardaway Jr. scored a season-high 31 points (10-18 FG, 5-11 3PT, 6-7 FT) with four rebounds, five assists and two steals across 38 minutes in Sunday's 137-123 win over the Rockets.
Fantasy Impact: Hardaway has started for the Mavericks the past three games, averaging 22.3 points, 4.3 triples, 4.3 assists and 1.0 steal during that stretch. As the third option on offense behind Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis, Hardaway is worth a flyer in all league formats. The Mavericks next scheduled game is Tuesday, home against the Clippers.

Seth Curry will play on Sunday against the Rockets after missing the last two games due to an illness. (Source: Chuck Cooperstein on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Curry was starting prior to the illness so we expect him to return to the starting lineup and push Tim Hardaway Jr back to the second unit which is a downgrade for THJ going forward.

Ryan Broekhoff finished with nine points (3-5 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 0-0 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one steal and one turnover across 12 minutes during a win against the Warriors on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact: Broekhoff's effort from deep led him to his 17.3 fantasy points on the night. This was only his third game to play this season, making Broekhoff a waiver-wire player for redraft leagues. Broekhoff and the Mavs will take on the Cavs at home Saturday.

Courtney Lee finished with 12 points (4-5 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 0-0 FT), two blocks and one assist across 12 minutes in route to a win against the Warriors on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact: Lee efficiently utilized every minute that he was on the floor. During his 12 minutes, he shot a perfect 4-for-4 from behind the arc which easily carried his point total for the evening. While Lee's effort led to 19.5 fantasy points, he has only played in four games this season.

Jalen Brunson finished with 15 points (6-6 FT, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, five assists and two turnovers across 23 minutes during a win against the Warriors on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact: Brunson rewarded DFS rosters by finishing with 26.5 FanDuel points and only costing $3700. The guard has seen a minor uptick in minutes over the last 10 games, but he still remains a waiver-wire player with his current usage.

Dorian Finney-Smith finished with a career-high 22 points (8-for-10 FG, 3-for-4 3Pt, 3-for-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one steal, and one block in 35 minutes in a win over the Spurs on Monday.
Fantasy Impact: DFS is now on the fantasy radar after his career-best scoring performance against the Spurs. Go ahead and grab him in deeper leagues for sure and he's even worth a look in 12-team leagues.

Isaiah Roby was sent to the G-League, Brad Townsend reports. (Source: Brad Townsend on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: The Nebraska standout was taken in the second round of this year's draft and had a decent showing in Summer League action. He hasn't appeared in a regular season contest for Dallas.

Trey Burke put in 25 points, eight dimes and two rebounds in 31 minutes of game action on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact: Burke played 31 minutes on Sunday and exploded for 25 points including 4-for-8 from deep to go with eight dimes. This is likely a one-off since Luka Doncic was out however.
Category: Game Recaps
Dirk Nowitzki put in 13 points, three rebounds and one dime in 28 minutes of game action on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact: Nowitzki has been playing a little bit more lately but he's still not on the radar as an option in the fantasy realm.

Salah Mejri will join the starting five for Dallas when they take on the Heat on Wednesday. (Source: MavsStats on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: This is just Mejri's second start of the campaign and most likely a matchup play to size up with Hassan Whiteside. Don't expect this to become a trend.

After being acquired in a trade with the Kings on Wednesday, Zach Randolph is expected to receive a buyout from the Mavericks and will not report to the team. (Source: Marc Stein on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: This will give Randolph an opportunity to potentially latch on with a contending team as a scorer off the bench. Randolph has not played yet this season.
Category: Rumors
Harrison Barnes has been traded to the Sacramento Kings in exchange for Justin Jackson and Zach Randolph. (Source: Shams Charania on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact: Barnes is in line for more value with the Kings as the team is in desperate need of 1A scoring option. Randolph was basically a non-factor so no reason to believe he will crack the rotation.
