Ruled out for Wednesday Christie (hip) is out for Wednesday's game against the Spurs.

Impact The swingman is missing his first game of the season with a hip injury , which he suffered Monday against the Kings. Naji Marshall and Zaccharie Risacher stand out as the most likely candidates to step into the starting lineup Wednesday.

Not listed on injury report Irving (knee) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Wednesday's meeting in Sacramento.

Impact Irving skipped Monday's 115-100 loss to the Kings for rest, but he'll get back out there for Wednesday's rematch in Sacramento. With Irving back in action, Marcus Sasser's minutes will likely dip.

Questionable for Wednesday Aldama (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Spurs.

Impact The questionable tag is an upgrade for Aldama, who has either been listed as out or doubtful ahead of all of Dallas' games this season. If the 25-year-old is cleared to make his season debut following knee surgery, he'll likely operate under a minutes restriction.

Lives at free-throw line Flagg ended Monday's 115-100 loss to the Kings with 17 points (3-19 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 11-11 FT), four rebounds, six assists and two steals in 40 minutes.

Impact With Kyrie Irving resting Monday, the Kings were able to devote most of their defensive attention to Flagg and hold the second-year superstar in check from the field. Flagg is still off to an excellent start overall, averaging 25.2 points, 6.5 assists and 5.7 rebounds per game so far this season.

Hanging onto starting role Washington logged 12 points (2-9 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 6-8 FT), five rebounds, one assist and two steals across 38 minutes during Monday's 115-100 loss to the Kings.

Impact Washington is holding down a starting position at power forward in favor of Naji Marshall and Zaccharie Risacher. Washington has put up at least 10 points in six of his first seven appearances, averaging 13.6 points, 7.7 rebounds and 1.1 assists for the season.

Scoreless in 19 minutes Risacher had zero points (0-3 FG, 0-3 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and one steal over 19 minutes during Monday's 115-100 loss to Sacramento.

Impact Risacher struggled to establish himself offensively, missing all three of his attempts from beyond the arc while finishing with a minus-19 rating. Dallas was missing several rotation players, including Santi Aldama (knee), but Risacher failed to capitalize on the available minutes. His inconsistent offensive involvement limits his fantasy appeal, even in an injury-depleted rotation.

Sees 19 minutes in loss Sasser totaled four points (2-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound and one assist over 19 minutes during Monday's 115-100 loss to the Kings.

Impact Sasser received additional playing time with Kyrie Irving (knee) unavailable, but he struggled to make an impact offensively. Walter Clayton was considerably more productive off the bench, scoring 20 points in 24 minutes. Sasser could continue seeing opportunities if Dallas remains shorthanded, though his limited production makes him difficult to recommend in most fantasy formats.

Scores 20 off bench Clayton finished Monday's 115-100 loss to the Kings with 20 points (6-9 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal across 24 minutes.

Impact Clayton tied Daniel Gafford for the team lead in scoring, providing an efficient offensive spark while Dallas struggled from beyond the arc. With Kyrie Irving (knee) sidelined and Max Christie exiting with a hip injury, Clayton benefited from additional backcourt opportunities. He could have short-term streaming appeal if either guard misses more time, though his role will be less secure once Dallas gets healthier.

Scores 20 points in Monday's loss Gafford finished with 20 points (9-10 FG, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one steal and one block across 26 minutes in Monday's 115-100 loss to the Kings.

Impact Gafford has been a scoring machine lately, averaging 19.0 points over his last two outings. The 20 points marked a season-high for the 28-year-old through seven games, and he's now grabbed seven or more boards in five straight contests. Gafford tied Walter Clayton Jr. for the team lead in scoring with Kyrie Irving (rest) out and Cooper Flagg finishing 3-for-19 from the field in 40 minutes of play. Gafford offers a reliable fantasy floor and will continue to work as the primary big with Dereck Lively (foot) and Santi Aldama (knee) both sidelined.

Impact The severity of Christie's injury is unclear at this time. He can be considered questionable for Wednesday's matchup in San Antonio until further notice.

Joining first unit Martin will start Monday's game against the Kings, Christian Clark of The Athletic reports.

Impact Martin will shift into the starting five Monday with Kyrie Irving (knee) unavailable. The 31-year-old has appeared in two games this season, most recently logging eight points in 25 minutes Friday against Houston.

NOVEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Out vs. Sacramento Irving (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Kings.

Impact Irving was initially listed as questionable before being downgraded to doubtful Monday afternoon, and he's since been ruled out. With the star floor general sidelined, Marcus Sasser and Walter Clayton are candidates for increased burn, while Cooper Flagg will likely see increased playmaking duties.

NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Monday Aldama (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup with Sacramento.

Impact Aldama has yet to make his season debut while recovering from the right knee surgery he underwent in March, though he appears to be making progress. His next chance to suit up will come Wednesday against San Antonio.

NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Downgraded to doubtful Irving (knee) is now doubtful for Monday against the Kings.

Impact The Mavericks originally listed Irving as questionable, but he's expected to miss his second game of the season. The team will be hoping he's ready to return Wednesday against San Antonio. Walter Clayton and Marcus Sasser could see extra run in Irving's expected absence.

NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Won't suit up against Sacramento Biberovic (heel) is listed as out for Monday's game against Sacramento.

Impact Biberovic has been battling inflammation in his right heel, preventing him from making his NBA debut for the Mavs. While the rookie should be considered week-to-week, he likely has a way to go before earning a meaningful role in Dallas even when he's cleared to suit up.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Remains sidelined Monday Lively (foot) is listed as out for Monday's game against the Kings.

Impact Although there haven't been any negative reports regarding Lively's rehab progress, it doesn't appear he will be back in the lineup anytime soon. For now, the 22-year-old should be considered week-to-week. While Lively remains on the shelf, Daniel Gafford and Moussa Cisse should continue to handle most of the work at the five. Santi Aldama (knee) might also get involved in that area once he's cleared to return.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Monday Irving (knee) is questionable to play Monday against the Kings.

Impact Irving could miss his second contest of the season as he works his way back from an ACL tear in his left knee. He played a season-high 35 minutes during Friday's 116-111 win over Houston, so it's possible Dallas gives him some additional time to rest on Monday. If that is indeed the case, Walter Clayton Jr. and Marcus Sasser are the top candidates to join the starting unit, while Cooper Flagg's usage would see a major boost.

NOVEMBER 1 • ROTOWIRE

Out on Monday Aldama (knee) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Kings.

Impact Aldama appears to be getting closer to making his 2026-27 debut with the Mavericks, but he's not expected to do so Monday versus Sacramento. In his absence, Zaccharie Risacher, Morez Johnson, Moussa Cisse and Caleb Martin should continue earning additional playing time.
