GAME LOG
Dereck Lively II - Listed as questionable again Lively (hip) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Rockets.
Impact Lively has missed three straight games due to a left hip contusion and was listed as questionable ahead of two of those three absences. If the youngster can't suit up, Daniel Gafford should continue to start at center.
DECEMBER 31, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Klay Thompson - Not listed on injury report Thompson (illness) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Rockets.
Impact Thompson was a late scratch Monday due to an illness but should return to action Wednesday. The veteran sharpshooter scored in double figures in 10 of 11 December appearances, averaging 15.4 points while shooting 47 percent from the field during that stretch.

Brandon Williams - Puts up 10 points off bench Williams tallied 10 points (4-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two assists, one rebound and one steal across 20 minutes in Monday's 110-100 loss to the Kings.
Impact One of Dallas' two-way players, Williams made his first appearance in either the G League or the NBA since Dec. 7, after he had recently missed time with a thumb injury. Williams suited up for both of the Mavericks' previous two contests without being called upon off the bench, but Dallas opened up a spot for him in the rotation Monday while the club was without Kyrie Irving (shoulder), Klay Thompson (illness), Dereck Lively (hip), Naji Marshall (suspension), Dante Exum (wrist) and Luka Doncic (calf). Any of the first three players could be back for Dallas' next game Wednesday in Houston, so Williams will likely be at risk of moving back outside of the rotation.
DECEMBER 31, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Jaden Hardy - Tepid result as fill-in Hardy totaled eight points (3-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds and two blocks over 21 minutes during Monday's 110-100 loss to the Kings.
Impact Hardy filled in for Kyrie Irving (shoulder) during Monday's loss, but he didn't accomplish much over 21 minutes of play. Ideally, Quentin Grimes would be the sensible replacement for Irving more often, but Klay Thompson's (illness) absence forced Grimes to provide support elsewhere. While Hardy has occasional flashes of production and will see more time during the injury scenario, he doesn't warrant fantasy consideration at this time.
DECEMBER 31, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
P.J. Washington Jr. - Posts season-high 28 points Washington had 28 points (8-20 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 8-10 FT), four rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal over 38 minutes during Monday's 110-100 loss to Sacramento.
Impact Washington had a thunderous return to the lineup after serving a one-game suspension, although his season-high total wasn't enough to turn the tide against the Kings. Kyrie Irving's (shoulder) absence provided some additional shot opportunities for the rest of the starting five, and Washington attempted a season-high 20 shots, eclipsing his previous high by a wide margin. The big man also flashed his proficiency as a long-range threat, drilling a season-high four three-pointers during the loss.
DECEMBER 31, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Spencer Dinwiddie - Leads team with 30 points in loss Dinwiddie closed with 30 points (8-18 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 11-12 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Monday's 110-100 loss to Sacramento.
Impact Kyrie Irving (shoulder) missed Monday's game to rest his nagging shoulder injury, but Dinwiddie was excellent in picking up the sack. Irving deserved the night off after a string of solid totals to account for Luka Doncic's (calf) absence, but Dinwiddie proved that he can also shoulder the load when needed. The veteran guard is expected to be a key piece of Dallas' solution to the Doncic problem, making him a worthwhile fantasy addition if he's available.

Quentin Grimes - Starting Monday Grimes will start in Monday's game against the Kings, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
Impact With Luka Doncic (calf), Kyrie Irving (shoulder) and Klay Thompson (illness) sidelined, Grimes will enter the starting five. The 24-year-old has started in nine outings thus far, during which he has averaged 14.6 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.2 steals across 28.1 minutes per contest.
DECEMBER 31, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Jaden Hardy - Entering starting lineup Hardy is starting Monday's game against the Kings, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
Impact Hardy will enter the starting five as the Mavs will be without Kyrie Irving (shoulder) and Klay Thompson (illness) Monday evening. Hardy's last start dates back to Dec. 1 against Portland, finishing with 13 points, three rebounds, one assist and one steal over 23 minutes.
DECEMBER 31, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Klay Thompson - Scratched Monday due to illness Thompson has been ruled out for Monday night's game against the Kings due to an illness, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
Impact Thompson was set to serve as the Mavericks' focal point on offense Monday due to the absences of Luka Doncic (calf) and Kyrie Irving (shoulder). However, Thompson appears to be the under the weather, and it is severe enough for him to miss his fifth game of the regular season. His next opportunity to play will be Wednesday against the Rockets. P.J. Washington, Quentin Grimes, Jaden Hardy, Spencer Dinwiddie and Olivier-Maxence Prosper are all set to see increased work Monday due to Thompson, Doncic and Irving all being sidelined.
DECEMBER 31, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Dereck Lively II - Won't go Monday Lively (hip) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Kings.
Impact Lively will miss his third consecutive outing due to a left hip contusion, and his next chance to return will come Wednesday against the Rockets. Daniel Gafford should draw another start, though Maxi Kleber and Olivier-Maxence Prosper are candidates for an uptick in playing time off the bench.

DECEMBER 30, 2024 • DALLASNEWS.COM
Kyrie Irving - Ruled out for Monday Irving won't play against the Kings on Monday due to right shoulder soreness.
Impact Irving was a very late addition to the injury report with an issue that he's dealt with previously this season. For now, fantasy managers can consider him questionable for Wednesday's game against Houston. Irving was terrific in his last outing, finishing with 46 points (16-26 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 9-9 FT), two rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals in 39 minutes during Saturday's 126-122 loss to the Trail Blazers. With Irving out, Spencer Dinwiddie and Klay Thompson could see increased usage, and Jaden Hardy could get a big opportunity.
