Efficient scoring off bench Clayton registered 15 points (6-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, four assists and a block across 17 minutes in Monday's 113-109 win over the Heat.

Impact Clayton made the most of his limited opportunities, missing just one of his seven field-goal attempts while adding decent contributions in other categories for a 17-minute cameo. Clayton will likely need more consistent playing time to become a reliable option, but this outing was undoubtedly a step in the right direction.

Strong stat line Monday Irving tallied 18 points (7-17 FG, 2-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, six assists and two steals across 33 minutes in Monday's 113-109 win over the Heat.

Impact Irving struggled from beyond the arc, but he made up for it with balanced production in other categories. Even as the veteran floor general cedes some playmaking responsibilities to Cooper Flagg, Irving still delivers. His ability to contribute across multiple categories helps maintain his fantasy value even when his shot isn't falling, so fantasy managers shouldn't look too much into his occasional shooting woes. He's still scored at least 15 points in each of his three appearances this season.

Solid all-around production in win Washington posted 20 points (6-15 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, two steals and a block across 41 minutes in Monday's 113-109 win over the Heat.

Impact Washington narrowly missed his second double-double of the season while playing a team-high 41 minutes, and he also left his mark on the defensive end of the court with three stocks. His heavy workload and multi-category contributions are encouraging for fantasy managers, though scoring inconsistencies can limit his upside at times.

The star forward tied for the game-high scoring total in an efficient performance from inside the arc and dished out a career-high tying 11 assists. He also logged a career-best five steals and has supplied at least three swipes in all three of his regular-season appearances thus far.

Reverting to bench role Monday Risacher won't start Monday's game against the Heat, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Good to go Monday Flagg (shoulder) is active for Monday's game against the Heat.

Impact Despite being diagnosed with a mild left shoulder sprain that forced him to miss Saturday's loss to the Spurs and being considered a true game-time call by coach Dusty May, Flagg will play versus Miami. It doesn't sound like he'll have any restrictions following the one-game absence, and his return will likely send Zaccharie Risacher back to the bench.

Game-time call Monday Head coach Dusty May said Flagg is a game-time decision for Monday's matchup against the Heat, though May expects the second-year forward to play, Eddie Sefko of the Mavericks' off...

Impact Flagg suffered a left shoulder sprain in Friday's win over Indiana, though he's trending in the right direction after being held out of Saturday's loss to the Spurs. If the star forward is cleared to return to action, there would be fewer minutes available for guys like Sergio de Larrea, Jett Howard and Zaccharie Risacher.

Questionable to play Monday Flagg (shoulder) is questionable to play Monday against the Heat.

Impact The Mavericks diagnosed Flagg with a mild left shoulder sprain Saturday, and the questionable tag suggests a final call on his availability will be made closer to Monday's 7:30 p.m. ET tipoff. With Naji Marshall (illness) already ruled out, Marcus Sasser and Zaccharie Risacher would be the top candidates to start if Flagg is ruled out for Monday.
