Dallas Mavericks News and Rumors - NBA

Zaccharie Risacher - Back to earth in loss Risacher registered five points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal over 14 minutes during Saturday's 127-117 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Fresh off a season-high 22 points in a loss to Minnesota, Risacher fell back to earth, turning in a mediocre performance. His fast start to the season is now a distant memory, having averaged just 6.9 points, 3.7 rebounds and 0.9 three-pointers in seven appearances over the past two weeks.

Caleb Martin - Season-best performance Martin supplied 15 points (6-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Saturday's 127-117 loss to the Cavaliers.

Impact Martin started for the fifth straight game, turning in easily his best performance of the season. Prior to this game, Martin had scored a total of nine points in his previous five games, a fair indication that this effort should be viewed as nothing more than an outlier.

Kyrie Irving - Scores 34 points in loss Irving ended with 34 points (11-25 FG, 7-16 3Pt, 5-7 FT), six rebounds, five assists, three steals and one block over 37 minutes in Saturday's 127-117 loss to Cleveland.

Impact Irving finished with at least 30 points for the second time in his last three games. He also remained active defensively, recording a block for the second consecutive contest while garnering three steals for the second time in November. The 34-year-old veteran had a slow start to the 2026-27 campaign after missing last season while recovering from knee surgery. In 11 regular-season appearances, Irving is now averaging 22.7 points, 3.5 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.3 steals while shooting 39.8 percent from deep across 30.7 minutes per outing.

Daniel Gafford - Won't return Saturday Gafford (face) won't return to Saturday's game against the Cavaliers, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Impact Gafford took a shot by Thomas Bryant and exited the game after making two free throws earlier, but the center won't return. This means Morez Johnson and Santi Aldama should see more time in the frontcourt. Gafford ends the contest with 10 points (4-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and an assist across 17 minutes. His next chance to play will come Sunday against the Celtics on the second leg of a back-to-back set.

Daniel Gafford - Exits Saturday's game Gafford (face) exited Saturday's game against the Cavaliers, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Gafford took a shot to the face from Thomas Bryant in the second half. He left the game, and after shooting his free throws, he exited again and went to the locker room. Gafford should be considered questionable to return, with Morez Johnson and Santi Aldama potentially in line to handle things in the middle.

Morez Johnson Jr. - Available Saturday Johnson (shin) is available for Saturday's game against the Cavaliers.

Impact A bruised shin kept Johnson from playing Monday against the Pacers, but he was able to give Dallas 13 minutes off the bench Thursday and will again be available to play Saturday. The rookie forward has averaged 7.6 points and 6.6 rebounds in 18.2 minutes across five games since the beginning of November.

15 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Max Christie - Ruled out Saturday Christie (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Cleveland.

Impact Christie was doubtful to play due to a left ankle sprain, and he will indeed be forced to sit out his second contest of the 2026-27 campaign. Expect Naji Marshall and Zaccharie Risacher to see a boost in minutes.

Max Christie - Doubtful to play Saturday Christie (ankle) has been downgraded to doubtful for Saturday's game against the Cavaliers

Impact Christie was initially listed as questionable for Saturday's contest due to a left ankle sprain, but it now appears likely that he'll miss the front end of his back-to-back set. Zaccharie Risacher and Naji Marshall stand to benefit from extra playing time if Christie sits.

Max Christie - Questionable with ankle sprain Christie is questionable for Saturday's game against the Cavaliers due to a sprained left ankle.

Impact Christie is at risk of missing the front end of this back-to-back set with a lingering injury. His absence would result in an uptick in playing time for Zaccharie Risacher and Naji Marshall, which would bolster both players' streaming appeal.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Morez Johnson Jr. - Probable for Saturday Johnson (left shin contusion) is listed as probable for Saturday against Cleveland.

Impact Johnson appears to be trending toward availability after recently missing one game due to the shin injury. The rookie has averaged 6.9 points and 4.8 rebounds in 16.7 minutes per game this season, limiting his appeal to deeper fantasy formats.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Naji Marshall - Solid start continues Marshall notched 13 points (4-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound, four assists and two steals across 23 minutes during Thursday's 133-94 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Marshall continues to be a dependable source of dimes as a facilitator off the bench for Dallas, making him worth considering in deeper fantasy leagues. For the season, the swingman has averaged 11.3 points, 4.4 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 24.6 minutes per contest through nine games.

Kyrie Irving - Limited to 10 points Thursday Irving accumulated 10 points (4-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists and one block across 27 minutes during Thursday's 133-94 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Irving endured a disappointing scoring performance and attempted just 11 shots, but this was a game in which Dallas fell into an early hole and never recovered, which explains his 27-minute workload. Irving's established scoring ability remains valuable, so fantasy managers shouldn't overreact to just one bad game. He remains one of Dallas' go-to scoring and playmaking options behind Cooper Flagg, who also had a rough outing in this 39-point defeat.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

Cooper Flagg - Poor showing in blowout loss Flagg chipped in 12 points (5-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and two steals over 27 minutes during Thursday's 133-94 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Flagg struggled to establish himself offensively, attempting only 12 shots as Dallas fell behind early and didn't recover. His seven rebounds and two steals helped preserve some fantasy value despite the modest scoring output, but fantasy managers shouldn't worry too much about one bad game. Flagg has had some inconsistencies, but for the most part, his numbers have been excellent. He has surpassed the 20-point mark in seven of his 11 appearances while also averaging 6.9 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 2.2 steals per contest.

1 DAY AGO • ROTOWIRE

P.J. Washington - Limited to 16 minutes in blowout loss Washington accumulated 10 points (4-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and three rebounds over 16 minutes during Thursday's 133-94 loss to Minnesota.

Impact Washington's workload was his biggest obstacle, as he played just over 16 minutes and failed to register an assist or defensive stat in a 39-point Mavs loss. His efficient overall shooting provided little consolation for fantasy managers. The blowout contributed to his reduced opportunities, but his rebounding and defensive production will need to improve for him to maintain consistent category-league value, especially when considering he's now logged 25 minutes or fewer in two of his last three appearances.
