Impact Washington has been downgraded from questionable to out Tuesday due to an illness. The 26-year-old forward's next chance to suit up will come Saturday if Dallas is able to advance in the NBA Cup.

Iffy for Tuesday Washington (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Thunder, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
Impact Naji Marshall (illness) is also questionable, while Maxi Kleber (illness) has already been ruled out. Washington has a massive role for the Mavericks, so if he's unable to go, it's likely that coach Jason Kidds rolls with a committee approach to soak up his minutes.

Extends double-digit scoring streak Washington chipped in 10 points (2-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 24 minutes during Thursday's 137-101 victory over Washington.
Impact Although he didn't play in the fourth quarter of Thursday's rout, Washington was still able to put forth a modest effort and reach double digits in scoring in his eighth consecutive game before his night came to a close. Through his last 10 contests, Washington is averaging 16.2 points, 9.5 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.3 blocks, 1.1 steals and 2.0 three-pointers while shooting a scorching 54.1 percent from deep. The 26-year-old stretch four has solidified himself as Dallas' starting power forward this season, and he should continue offering disruptive defense to the Mavericks while seeing plenty of open looks from downtown as opposing defenses focus on containing Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving.

Comes close to triple-double Washington produced 19 points (7-12 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and one steal over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 129-114 victory over the Knicks.
Impact Even though Kyrie Irving, Naji Marshall and Quentin Grimes led the Mavericks on offense in this win, there's no question Washington had a massive impact on this victory due to his two-way contributions. The veteran forward finished just three assists away from a triple-double, and he continues to find ways to remain productive even if he's not scoring at a high rate. Washington is averaging 17.3 points, 11.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.3 blocks per game across his last six outings while posting five double-doubles in that stretch.

Impresses with double-double Washington notched 21 points (7-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and two steals across 40 minutes during Sunday's 123-118 overtime loss to Miami.
Impact Washington has really started to find his form with three double-doubles in his last four games. In that span, Washington has averaged 18.5 points, 11.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.0 three-pointers. With Luka Doncic sidelined by a wrist issue, there should be plenty of usage to go around in Dallas.

Double-double in Friday's win Washington provided 22 points (8-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist and three steals over 36 minutes during Friday's 123-120 win over the Nuggets.
Impact It's the second double-double in three games for Washington since he returned to the Dallas starting lineup. The 26-year-old forward missed five games earlier this month with a knee injury and delivered an unimpressive four-point, six-rebound effort Tuesday against the Pelicans, but he's at least been consistent on the defensive end. In those three starts, he's recorded four steals and three blocks.

Career night on glass Washington racked up 27 points (7-13 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 10-10 FT), 17 rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 28 minutes during Sunday's 121-119 win over Oklahoma City.
Impact The 17 boards were a career high for the 26-year-old forward, who also produced a season-high scoring effort in the absence of Luka Doncic (knee). Washington missed five games himself earlier this month due to knee trouble, and he was making his first start since Nov. 4. Doncic isn't expected to be sidelined for long, but Washington could continue to see elevated usage as long as the Mavs' superstar is unavailable.

Minutes capped in return Washington (knee) came off the bench and recorded zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and two steals across 19 minutes in Saturday's 110-93 win over the Spurs...
Impact Making his return from a five-game absence due to a sprained right knee, Washington was eased back into the Dallas rotation as a reserve after he had started in each of the Mavericks' first seven contests of the season. Once he's further removed from the injury, Washington should eventually move back to the top unit and take back a near-30-minute role, but he'll likely face some restrictions once again Sunday in Oklahoma City, if Dallas makes him active for the contest.

Will play on minutes restriction Washington (knee) is available for Saturday's game against the Spurs, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Impact Head coach Jason Kidd relayed Saturday that Washington -- who has missed the Mavericks' last five games due to a sprained right knee -- is unlikely to see heavy minutes in his return. Washington may be inserted back into the starting lineup if Naji Marshall is unable to play due to an illness.

Impact Washington has been a mainstay on the injury report due to a sprained right knee, and he is in jeopardy of missing his sixth consecutive outing. The 26-year-old was also ruled doubtful ahead of Thursday's loss to Utah, and if he is unable to suit up Naji Marshall and Maxi Kleber are candidates for an increased role.
