Anthony Davis - Questionable for Saturday Davis (adductor) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Kings.

Impact Davis did not return to Thursday's loss to Golden State due to a minor groin strain after logging just 11 minutes. Shams Charania of ESPN reported Friday that the star big man is likely to miss a few games, though Davis has yet to be ruled out and is dealing with what the team is now calling right adductor soreness. If he ends up being sidelined, Daniel Gafford and Caleb Martin could see increased minutes in the frontcourt, while Dwight Powell and Moussa Cisse are candidates to enter the rotation.

Anthony Davis - Out with minor groin strain Davis (groin) is expected to miss a few games, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact Davis sustained a minor groin strain in Thursday's loss to the Warriors, and he'll likely need to sit out for around a week or so. With the superstar big man sidelined, fantasy managers can expect Daniel Gafford to see an expanded role at center while Dwight Powell handles the backup role.

Daniel Gafford - Muted effort Thursday Gafford supplied six points (3-3 FG) and five rebounds across 15 minutes during Thursday's 126-116 loss to Golden State.

Impact Gafford hasn't cracked the 20-minute mark since the Nov. 24 loss in Miami, but he could see a rise in playing time with Anthony Davis (groin) likely to miss some time. Gafford has averaged 4.0 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.3 blocks in 14.8 minutes per contest over his last seven games.

P.J. Washington - Double-double in loss Washington totaled 14 points (7-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt), 10 rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block across 34 minutes during Thursday's 126-116 loss to Golden State.

Impact Washington returned from a one-game absence with a right foot injury and notched his fourth double-double of the 2025-26 season. Amid a difficult year for Dallas, the power forward has delivered steady production and could see an uptick in usage and responsibility depending on the injury status of Anthony Davis (leg).

Brandon Williams - Pops for 26 off bench Williams racked up 26 points (9-12 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 7-9 FT), three rebounds and three assists across 30 minutes during Thursday's 126-116 loss to the Warriors.

Impact Williams provided a spark off the bench Thursday, joining Cooper Flagg as the primary scoring options in the loss. The 26-year-old has had moments of productivity this season but has battled efficiency issues, averaging 10.5 points, 4.0 assists, 2.5 rebounds and 1.3 steals on 39.6 percent from the field and 17.5 percent from beyond the arc in 28 games (nine starts) entering Christmas Day.

Cooper Flagg - Scores 27 in Christmas Day loss Flagg notched 27 points (13-21 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 0-2 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one block over 36 minutes during Thursday's 126-116 loss to the Warriors.

Impact Flagg led all scorers with efficient shooting but couldn't lift the Mavericks to a Christmas Day victory. The No. 1 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft has enjoyed a strong December, averaging 24.1 points, 6.2 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.3 blocks and 1.0 steals through 10 games entering Thursday's contest. While his three-point shot remains a work in progress, the Duke product has largely met expectations and shown the ability to impact games at a high level as a rookie.
