Availability



Daniel Gafford (ankle) available Monday

Daniel Gafford is available for Monday's game against the Jazz.

Fantasy Impact

Gafford is good to go after being listed as questionable. He will return from a three-game absence. He should see more run with Anthony Davis (calf) sidelined.

Daniel Gafford (ankle) present for Monday's shootaround

Daniel Gafford was present for shootaround and remains questionable for the game against the Utah Jazz.

Fantasy Impact

Gafford remains questionable for Monday’s contest, but it’s an encouraging sign that he was able to participate in Monday morning shootaround. He’s likely to be a game-time decision, so fantasy managers should monitor the Dallas Mavericks injury report. If he’s unable to play, Dwight Powell and Moussa Cisse could see a bump in minutes.

Daniel Gafford (ankle) questionable Monday

Daniel Gafford is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Utah Jazz.

Fantasy Impact

Gafford has been limited to one game in December due to a right ankle injury. The Dallas Mavericks are expected to evaluate him during Monday’s shootaround and potentially pregame warmups to determine his status. If he is unable to play, Anthony Davis (calf), who is currently questionable, could handle the majority of the minutes at center if available, while Dwight Powell and Moussa Cisse could also see a bump in minutes.

Daniel Gafford (ankle) doubtful Friday

Daniel Gafford is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Brooklyn Nets.

Fantasy Impact

Gafford is expected to miss his third straight game as he continues to deal with a right ankle injury. With him sidelined, Anthony Davis will likely handle the bulk of the minutes at center, while Naji Marshall and Dwight Powell could see an uptick in playing time.

Daniel Gafford (ankle) unavailable for Saturday

Daniel Gafford (ankle) is unavailable for Saturday's game against the Houston Rockets.

Fantasy Impact

The big man is going to be sidelined on Saturday. He was initially considered doubtful to play in this game, so his absence shouldn't come as much of a surprise. Look for Dwight Powell to continue to see more work while the veteran remains out of the lineup for Dallas.
