Brandon Williams - Back in starting lineup Williams is in the Mavericks' starting lineup against the Jazz on Thursday.

Impact Williams will make his 10th start of the season Thursday (and first since Nov. 24 against the Heat) due to the absences of Cooper Flagg (ankle) and Max Christie (illness). Williams is coming off his fifth 20-point-plus performance of the season Wednesday against the Nuggets, and over his last seven outings he has averaged 16.7 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 0.9 steals over 24.1 minutes per game.

Caleb Martin - Starting Thursday Martin is in the starting lineup for Thursday's matchup with the Jazz.

Impact Joining Martin in the first unit for Thursday's game will be Jaden Hardy, Brandon Williams, Naji Marshall and Dwight Powell. Martin is capable of chipping in a little bit of everything when given the minutes, so he's on the radar as a potential streaming option in deep leagues.

Dwight Powell - Drawing spot start Thursday Powell is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Jazz.

Impact Powell will be asked to join the starting five with the Mavs missing a good chunk of the starting frontcourt Thursday. He'll presumably tackle a heavier workload than usual with both Daniel Gafford (ankle) and P.J. Washington (ankle) out.

Max Christie - Out Thursday Christie (illness) won't play in Thursday's game against the Jazz.

Impact Christie has been downgraded to out due to an illness, marking his second straight absence. The Mavs will be short handed Thursday without Christie and Cooper Flagg (ankle), which will likely open up more minutes for Ryan Nembhard, Brandon Williams and Jaden Hardy.

Daniel Gafford - Won't play Thursday Gafford (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Jazz.

Impact Gafford will hit the sidelines for the second leg of a back-to-back, and for now, he should be considered questionable for Saturday's rematch with Utah. Dwight Powell will have the opportunity to start with Gafford unavailable and Moussa Cisse could see an uptick in minutes.

4 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

P.J. Washington - Downgraded to out Washington is out for Thursday's game against the Jazz due to right ankle injury management.

Impact Given that Thursday is the second leg of Dallas' back-to-back set, the expectation is that Washington will be available for Saturday's meeting with Utah. Klay Thompson is a candidate to start for the undermanned Mavericks on Thursday, putting him in the streaming mix in most fantasy leagues.

Cooper Flagg - Won't go Thursday Flagg (ankle) is out for Thursday's game against the Jazz.

Impact Flagg has officially been ruled out for Thursday's clash due to a left ankle sprain. This will be his first absence since Nov. 19 and just his second of his rookie season. Flagg's next chance to return will arrive Saturday, also against Utah.

Daniel Gafford - Questionable with ankle sprain Gafford is questionable for Thursday's game against the Jazz due to a sprained right ankle.

Impact After leaving Wednesday's loss to Denver, Gafford is in danger of missing the second part of Dallas' back-to-back. The center minutes would likely be divvied up between Dwight Powell and Moussa Cisse if Gafford is unable to suit up Thursday.

9 HOURS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Max Christie - Doubtful with illness Christie (illness) is doubtful for Thursday's game against the Jazz.

Impact An illness is likely to keep Christie from playing both halves of Dallas' back-to-back set. With the sharpshooter unlikely to be available for a second straight contest, Jaden Hardy and Brandon Williams have a much clearer pathway to minutes in the Mavericks backcourt.

P.J. Washington - Listed as questionable Washington is questionable for Thursday's game against the Jazz due to right ankle injury management.

Impact The Mavericks are considering holding Washington out of action for maintenance reasons. With Cooper Flagg (ankle) not expected to be available, Klay Thompson could see enough playing time to warrant streaming consideration in shallow leagues and Caleb Martin in deep formats.
