Dallas Mavericks News and Rumors - NBA

Max Christie - Trending toward playing Sunday Christie (ankle) has been upgraded from questionable to probable for Sunday's game against the Pacers, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact Christie was unable to play against the Timberwolves on Friday due to a right ankle injury, but the fourth-year pro is trending in the right direction for Sunday's contest. His return would likely result in Naji Marshall or Khris Middleton being moved to the bench.

Caleb Martin - Probable for Sunday Martin (ankle) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Pacers.

Impact Martin missed Dallas' final outing before the All-Star break due to a left ankle sprain but returned to action in Friday's loss to Minnesota. He appears likely to play in a second consecutive contest and may see a bump in minutes due to Cooper Flagg (foot) being sidelined. Over five February appearances (three starts), Martin has averaged 7.6 points and 3.4 rebounds in 22.2 minutes per tilt.

Daniel Gafford - Managing ankle injury Gafford is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Pacers due to right ankle injury management.

Impact Gafford has been managing a right ankle injury since mid-January and is in jeopardy of missing Sunday's game. Marvin Bagley would be the top candidate to start at center and Dwight Powell would have an elevated role off the bench if Gafford is unable to play. Gafford has averaged 8.6 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.5 blocks over 23.5 minutes per game over his last 10 outings.

Max Christie - Iffy for Sunday Christie (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Pacers.

Impact Christie was held out of Friday's loss to Minnesota after spraining his left ankle in Thursday's practice, though the questionable tag suggests he's day-to-day. If the sharpshooter remains sidelined for a second straight game, Klay Thompson, Tyus Jones and AJ Johnson would be candidates for increased playing time.

Cooper Flagg - Won't play Sunday Flagg (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pacers.

Impact Flagg's absence will extend to three games as he continues to rehab from a left foot sprain, and his next chance to play is Tuesday against the Nets. Khris Middleton, Klay Thompson and Naji Marshall will continue to operate in expanded roles for as long as Flagg is out of action.

Mavericks gifted rare chance to steal late-draft gem to ignite Cooper Flagg era The Dallas Mavericks may be able to draft the perfect forward to pair alongside Cooper Flagg.

Caleb Martin - Limited playing time off bench Martin (ankle) recorded four points (1-2 FG, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two steals and one assist across 15 minutes Friday in the Mavericks' 122-111 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Martin missed the Mavericks' previous game Feb. 12 against the Lakers due to a left ankle sprain and was listed questionable ahead of Friday's contest, but the extended rest provided by the All-Star break proved to be enough for him to move past the injury. After making 10 starts in an 11-game stretch and averaging 25.4 minutes per contest from Jan. 15 through Feb. 7, the veteran forward came off the bench for his second straight appearance and once again had a relatively muted role. Martin's minutes could drop further once the Mavericks get Cooper Flagg (foot) and Max Christie (ankle) back in the mix.

Naji Marshall - Delivers well-rounded line Marshall (foot) recorded 15 points (5-16 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 5-7 FT), five rebounds, three assists and three steals in 33 minutes Friday in the Mavericks' 122-111 loss to the Timberwolves...

Impact Marshall had been forced out of the Mavericks' previous game Feb. 12 against the Lakers due to a left foot strain, but the All-Star break afforded him plenty of time to heal. He was back in the starting five for the second straight game and came through with a well-rounded stat line, though his efficiency left something to be desired. Marshall is still converting at a robust 52.6 percent clip from the field on the season, though he's offering little production from beyond the arc (0.9 triples per game).

Dallas faces Indiana on 10-game losing streak

Dallas aims to break its 10-game losing streak with a victory against Indiana

Tyus Jones - Scores 13 points in start Jones ended with 13 points (6-10 FG, 1-1 3Pt), one rebound and six assists over 26 minutes during Friday's 122-111 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Jones moved back into the starting lineup, scoring double digits for the fourth time this season, and for the first time as a member of the Mavericks. With Cooper Flagg dealing with a foot injury, Jones moved into an elevated role. Dallas has shown very little trust in any of its point guard options thus far, meaning Jones could certainly be given a shot at starting, at least for the foreseeable future. If you need assists and steals, perhaps he is worth taking a chance on.

Marvin Bagley III - Double-doubles in loss Bagley ended with 15 points (5-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 13 rebounds and one block over 24 minutes during Friday's 122-111 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Bagley logged at least 24 minutes for the third time in his past four appearances, continuing to play a relatively consistent role for his new team. During that span, he has averaged 11.8 points, 9.3 rebounds and 1.3 blocks in 23.3 minutes per game. He is by no means a must-roster player, but should at least be on the radar for anyone needing points and rebounds.

Daniel Gafford - Blocks three shots in loss Gafford closed with eight points (4-7 FG), five rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals over 24 minutes during Friday's 122-111 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Gafford continued to play through an ankle concern, yet finished with a serviceable two-way performance. Despite the ongoing injury, Gafford has now played in 10 straight games, averaging 8.6 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.4 combined steals and blocks in 23.5 minutes per contest. While his ceiling is limited, Gafford should be rostered in all formats, specifically for those in need of rebounds and blocks.
