Mavericks risk ruining the Cooper Flagg era unless they embrace controversial lesson The Mavericks have to embrace this harsh truth to give Cooper Flagg the best chance to win in Dallas.
Cody Williams - Sees big workload in loss Williams notched six points (3-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two blocks in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 128-126 loss to the Bulls.
Impact Despite a quiet night in terms of scoring, Williams was able to have a notable impact with his playmaking and defense. He was overshadowed by a career-best night from Brice Sensabaugh, however. Over his last seven games, Williams has posted averages of 8.0 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 0.6 three-pointers in 22.1 minutes per contest.

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.

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.

Kevin Love - Good to go Thursday Love (rest) will be available Thursday against Dallas.
Impact After getting the night off for maintenance Wednesday against Chicago, Love is no longer on the injury report. The Jazz will be without Lauri Markkanen (illness) Thursday, so Love could be more involved for the Jazz unless the team opts to play more small-ball lineups.
