Anthony Davis scored 15 points (5-19 FG, 1-5 3PT, 4-7 FT) to go along with seven rebounds, two assists and one steal in the Dallas Mavericks' 101-92 win over the Orlando Magic.

Fantasy Impact: Davis played in his second game since February 8 on Thursday, struggling with efficiency as he shot just 26.3% from the field. However, it was encouraging to see him log 29 minutes. The Mavericks are expected to be cautious with his workload, likely resting him in one game of back-to-backs, but when he's active, he remains a must-start in fantasy lineups.

Jaden Hardy recorded 22 points (7-12 FG, 5-6 3PT, 3-4 FT) and three rebounds in the Dallas Mavericks' 101-92 win over the Orlando Magic.

Fantasy Impact: Hardy caught fire from beyond the arc, drilling five of his six three-point attempts. Despite coming off the bench, he led the team in scoring. However, his playing time and production remain inconsistent, making him a risky fantasy option. He's best suited as a DFS play when he's expected to see 20+ minutes.

Brandon Williams recorded 14 points (6-10 FG, 1-1 3PT, 1-1 FT) three rebounds, six assists and two steals in the Dallas Mavericks' 101-92 win over the Orlando Magic.

Fantasy Impact: Williams played 27 minutes off the bench, dishing out a team-high six assists while posting a +21 plus/minus. He has put together a strong March, averaging 17.4 points, 3.7 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.7 steals per game. He remains a viable option in deeper leagues.

Fantasy Impact: Jones took a hard fall after throwing down an alley-oop and was ruled out with a left hip contusion. He finished with four points (2-2 FG) and five rebounds in seven minutes. Dwight Powell and Caleb Martin could see additional playing time in his absence.

Fantasy Impact: Martin has been cleared to play on Thursday. He's still dealing with a nagging hip injury, but it won't be serious enough to leave him sidelined in this matchup. Fantasy managers should be wary about starting him for the foreseeable future.

Fantasy Impact: Irving tore his ACL back in the first week of March. He should make a full recovery for the start of next season.

Fantasy Impact: Thursday will be the second-straight game that Washington has missed because of an ankle injury. His next chance to play will come on Saturday against the Chicago Bulls, and fantasy managers should look for Kai Jones to see more work in the meantime.

Klay Thompson scored six points (2-11 FG, 0-3 3PT, 2-2 FT) to go along with three rebounds and one assist in the Mavericks 128-113 loss against the Knicks.

Fantasy Impact: Thompson has struggled in two straight games after dropping 20 points in back-to-back games. He has had occasional big scoring performances in March with little production elsewhere for fantasy managers.

Spencer Dinwiddie scored 13 points (4-11 FG, 2-5 3PT, 3-4 FT) to go along with four rebounds, seven assists and two blocks in the Mavericks 128-113 loss against the Knicks.

Fantasy Impact: Dinwiddie continues to take over more of a playmaker role with all of the injuries in the back court for Dallas. He extended his streak to five games of dishing at least seven assists. He played 35 minutes which was the second-most on the team on the night, which should continue.

Naji Marshall scored 38 points (17-25 FG, 1-3 3PT, 3-5 FT) to go along with seven rebounds, one assist and one steal in the Mavericks 128-113 loss against the Knicks.

Fantasy Impact: Marshall exploded for 28 points in the opening half alone. He finished the night with a career-high in scoring. It is unclear if he'll remain in the starting lineup when Anthony Davis is healthy, but he could continue to play a big role even off the bench.

Kessler Edwards will be unavailable for Monday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. (Source: Mike Curtis on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Edwards only has one game of eligibility left for the Mavericks at this point in the season, and they will save it and leave him sidelined for Dallas' game on Monday. The return of Anthony Davis (adductor) will more than account for his absence in this matchup.

Dereck Lively II has been dispatched to the G League’s Texas Legends for a 5-on-5 practice on Friday, per the Mavericks’ update, and will be recalled afterward, progressing from an ankle injury that’s kept him out since January 14. (Source: Mavs PR)

Fantasy Impact: Lively’s G League practice alongside Anthony Davis (adductor) and Daniel Gafford (knee) signals a push toward returning before the season ends, though no firm timeline is set—his rebounding and defensive spark remain sidelined for now. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues should keep him stashed, with a potential late-season lift in sight for Dallas’ frontcourt.

Fantasy Impact: Gafford’s G League stint alongside Anthony Davis (adductor) and Dereck Lively (ankle) hints at a looming frontcourt revival for Dallas before the season wraps—his rebounding and paint presence could soon return. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues should stash him, with a potential boost on the horizon as the Mavericks reload.

Max Christie scored 17 points (6-11 FG, 1-3 3PT, 4-4 FT) to go along with eight rebounds, one assist and one steal in the Mavericks 135-131 loss against the Pacers.

Fantasy Impact: Christie saw 36 minutes of playing time off the bench. He should remain well on the fantasy radar with the Mavericks back court banged up.

Dante Exum is expected to miss at least the next four weeks with a left hand fracture.

Fantasy Impact: Exum suffered the injury in Friday's game against the Rockets and was quickly considered out indefinitely. Spencer Dinwiddie and Brandon Williams should see more run in his absence.

Olivier-Maxence Prosper is expected to undergo a season-ending surgery on his wrist. (Source: Shams Charania on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Prosper has been diagnosed with a serious wrist injury, and it has been reported that he is expected to undergo a surgery on it that will end his season. This is just one in a long line of injuries that have plagued the Mavericks this year, and it will likely lead to more work for Kessler Edwards over the last month of the season.

Moses Brown posted 20 points (9-of-14 FG, 2-of-3 FT), 11 rebounds, two blocks, and three steals across 31 minutes in Thursday’s 103-96 victory against Charlotte.

Fantasy Impact: Brown made the most of his first start this season, securing his initial double-double with season-best totals in points, rebounds, and defensive stats amid injuries to Dallas’ frontcourt trio of Anthony Davis (adductor), Dereck Lively (ankle), and Daniel Gafford (knee). With Dwight Powell limited and the big-man rotation thin, he’s poised to hold the starting center spot for now—though his 10-day contract keeps his outlook fluid. Fantasy managers in deeper formats could view him as a short-term grab for this multi-category spark.

Fantasy Impact: The Mavericks front court will likely be a situation to avoid with Powell on a minutes restriction and P.J. Washington Jr. ruled out.
