Strong showing off bench Friday Risacher recorded 12 points (4-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals across 28 minutes off the bench during Friday's 116-111 win over the...

Impact It's beginning to look like the Hawks may have given up on Risacher a bit too quickly. While the 21-year-old wing may never live up to his billing as the first overall pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, he's providing the Mavs with valuable depth so far, particularly on defense. Over the last five games (one start), Risacher is averaging 10.6 points, 6.0 boards, 2.0 blocks, 1.6 assists, 1.6 threes and 1.4 steals in 30.2 minutes.

Drops 18 in Friday's win Gafford amassed 18 points (6-7 FG, 6-9 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 29 minutes during Friday's 116-111 victory over the Rockets.

Impact The 18 points were a season high for Gafford, who continues to operate without much backup in the paint as Dereck Lively (foot) and Santi Aldama (knee) remain sidelined. Gafford has recorded exactly blocks in six straight games to begin the season, averaging 8.5 points, 7.0 boards, 2.5 assists, 2.0 blocks and 0.8 steals in 23.3 minutes while shooting 70.0 percent from the floor.

Pours in game-high 35 in win Irving closed Friday's 116-111 win over Houston with 35 points (12-19 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds and nine assists across 35 minutes.

Impact The veteran point guard led all scorers on the night, combining for 68 points with Cooper Flagg as the Mavericks handed the Rockets their first loss. The 35 points were also a season high for Irving, as were the nine assists. He hasn't played more than 60 regular-season games in a campaign since 2018-19, but Irving's been mostly healthy to begin the current season and is averaging 21.4 points, 4.8 assists, 3.4 boards, 3.2 threes and 1.2 steals in 28.6 minutes over five contests while shooting 52.7 percent from the floor.

Logs another full stat line Friday Flagg finished Friday's 116-111 win over the Rockets with 33 points (13-19 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 7-10 FT), nine rebounds, six assists, two steals and one block across 39 minutes.

Impact Although he struggled from three-point range once again, Flagg turned in another productive all-around performance in Dallas' first NBA Cup game of the year. The star forward erupted for a season-high 33 points and was second on the Mavericks in scoring behind Kyrie Irving (35 points). Flagg also finished second on the team in rebounds and assists. He's posted at least 26 points, six assists and five rebounds in three consecutive contests, though he's shot just 20.0 percent from downtown during that span.

To be re-evaluated next week Head coach Dusty May said de Larrea (knee) will be re-evaluated next week, Noah Weber of TheSmokingCuban.com reports.

Impact De Larrea sprained his right knee in Monday's win over Miami and is without a definitive timetable for a return to action. However, his absence shouldn't cause any significant waves in the rotation.

OCTOBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Out again Friday Aldama (knee) is listed as out for Friday's game against the Rockets.

Impact Aldama continues to make progress in his recovery from right knee surgery, though he won't be ready to suit up for Friday's meeting with Houston. Without Aldama on the floor, Zaccharie Risacher, Morez Johnson, Caleb Martin and Moussa Cisse should all continue to see extra minutes.

OCTOBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Friday Biberovic (heel) is out for Friday's game against the Rockets.

Impact Right heel bursitis continues to plague Biberovic. Monday's tilt versus the Kings marks his next chance to make his league debut.

OCTOBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Friday Marshall (illness) is available for Friday's game against Houston.

Impact Marshall initially drew a questionable tag before being upgraded to probable Friday afternoon, and he's since been cleared to play following a two-game absence. The 28-year-old forward is averaging 13.7 points, 5.7 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 1.7 steals across 27.7 minutes per contest in three regular-season games (one start). With Marshall back in action, Caleb Martin and Zaccharie Risacher could see fewer minutes.

OCTOBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Upgraded to probable Marshall (illness) is probable for Friday's game against the Rockets.

Impact Marshall is likely to return from a two-game absence Friday. Fewer minutes wil likely be open for Zaccharie Risacher off the bench.

OCTOBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful for Friday Biberovic (heel) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game versus the Rockets.

Impact Biberovic has yet to make his NBA debut and is unlikely to do so Friday due to right heel bursitis. However, his potential absence wouldn't affect the rotation.

OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to play Friday Aldama (knee) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against Houston.

Impact Aldama appears to be making progress in his recovery from right knee surgery, though he's not expected to make his season debut Friday. His eventual return will leave fewer minutes available for guys like Caleb Martin and Moussa Cisse.

OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Out with sprained knee De Larrea (knee) is out for Friday's game against the Rockets.

Impact De Larrea remains sidelined with a knee sprain, which he suffered during Monday's win in Miami. His next chance to play comes Monday against the Kings.

OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable with illness Marshall is questionable for Friday's game against the Rockets with an illness.

Impact Marshall has a chance to return from a two-game absence Friday. Fewer minutes would be open for Zaccharie Risacher off the bench if Marshall is able to return.

OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Productive outing in season debut Martin (thumb) racked up 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal across 14 minutes during Wednesday's 120-96 win over the Thunder.

Impact Martin made his season debut Wednesday, delivering an efficient shooting performance while finishing as one of eight Mavericks players to score in double figures. The 31-year-old forward faces plenty of competition for minutes this season, and it's worth noting that Naji Marshall (illness), Sergio de Larrea (knee) and Santi Aldama (knee) were all unavailable Wednesday.

OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Settling into NBA action Johnson posted 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and three assists over 18 minutes during Wednesday's 120-96 victory over the Thunder.

Impact The Mavericks continue to bring the rookie first-rounder along slowly after Johnson missed the start of training camp. Until his restrictions are loosened, Johnson's fantasy upside will remain capped.
