Klay Thompson scored all 23 of his points in the first half, including the 17,000th of his career, and six Mavericks scored in double figures in a 138-120 win over Utah on Saturday...

Brandon Williams - Adds 22 points in victory Williams finished with 22 points (8-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, five assists and two steals in 28 minutes during Saturday's 138-120 win over the Jazz.

Impact Williams drew another start Saturday with Cooper Flagg (ankle) sidelined and managed to remain locked in on both ends of the court. He's now put up 18 or more points in four of his last five appearances and was more involved than he typically is as a passer. Look for Williams to continue in this elevated role until Flagg is cleared to return.

Impact Hardy has started in each of the Mavericks' last three games and averaged 13.7 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 3.0 threes over 25.0 minutes per game over that span. He'll retreat to the bench for Saturday's contest while Max Christie enters the Mavericks' starting five.

Max Christie - Good to go against Utah Christie (illness) is available for Saturday's game against the Jazz, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Christie has missed the Mavericks' last two games while battling an illness, and the fourth-year wing has progressed enough in his recovery to return Saturday. It's a much-needed boost for the Mavericks given that they will be without starters Cooper Flagg (ankle), Daniel Gafford (ankle) and P.J. Washington (personal). Over his last eight starts, Christie has averaged 15.4 points, 4.1 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.6 threes over 31.5 minutes per game.

Impact Following a two-game absence with an illness, Christie is expected to play Saturday. Over his last nine contests, Christie has averaged 15.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.4 three-pointers in 31.7 minutes per game. Brandon Williams is likely to revert back to bench against the Jazz.

Cooper Flagg - Doubtful for Saturday Flagg (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the Jazz.

Impact Flagg is likely to miss his second straight game after sustaining a sprained left ankle in Wednesday's loss to the Nuggets. If the rookie No. 1 overall pick is ultimately ruled out, Caleb Martin and Ryan Nembhard would be candidates for increased playing time.

P.J. Washington - Likely to play Saturday Washington is probable for Saturday's game against the Jazz due to right ankle injury management.

Impact After sitting out Thursday's win over Utah, Washington appears to be ready to play in Saturday's rematch. Over his last 12 appearances, Washington has averaged 12.5 points, 6.7 rebounds, 1.7 blocks and 1.2 steals in 30.9 minutes per game. With Cooper Flagg (ankle) doubtful, Washington should see a few shot attempts fall his direction.
