Mavericks' Anthony Davis: Could return during road trip
Davis (adductor) is progressing toward a potential return during Dallas' upcoming four-game road trip that begins with Monday's game versus the Nets, NBA reporter Marc Stein reports.
Davis hasn't played since Feb. 8 due to a left adductor strain but is gearing up toward a return to action. The star big man has been going through 5-on-5 practices in the G League and could take the floor during Dallas' four-game road trip. Until Davis is able to suit up, Kai Jones and Dwight Powell should continue to soak up the majority of the team's center minutes.

Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Goes for 27 points in win
Washington posted 27 points (9-16 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 4-6 FT), three rebounds, four blocks and two steals over 38 minutes during Friday's 123-117 victory over Detroit.
Washington was deadly from beyond the arc en route to hitting a season-high five threes, and the veteran forward finished just three points away from tying his previous season-high scoring mark. Washington has surpassed the 25-point mark in his three games since returning to the lineup following a seven-game absence due to a right ankle sprain.

Mavericks' Naji Marshall: Efficient output in win Friday
Marshall posted 19 points (8-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals across 36 minutes during Friday's 123-117 win over Detroit.
Marshall has started in each of the Mavericks' last nine games and has been nothing short of excellent over that stretch, emerging as one of the most reliable offensive weapons on a depleted Dallas roster. During that nine-game stretch, Marshall is averaging 22.7 points, 8.7 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.3 steals per game while shooting 51.3 percent from the floor.

Mavericks' Spencer Dinwiddie: Scores season-high 31 points
Dinwiddie ended Friday's 123-117 victory over Detroit with 31 points (9-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 11-13 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 39 minutes.
Dinwiddie started for a second consecutive game and thrived, missing just three of his 12 shots from the floor en route to posting a season-high scoring mark. The scoring side of things wasn't the only area in which Dinwiddie thrived, however, as he finished three assists short of posting what would've been his third double-double of the season. Dinwiddie is averaging 15.6 points, 2.9 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.1 steals per game across 11 appearances in March.

Mavericks' Kessler Edwards: Will be inactive Friday
Head coach Jason Kidd said that Edwards (coach's decision) won't play in Friday's game against the Pistons, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Edwards has just one game of eligibility remaining on his two-way contract, though Kidd relayed that the forward will travel with the team for its upcoming four-game road trip. The Mavericks will likely still be without Anthony Davis (thigh), Dereck Lively (ankle) and Daniel Gafford (knee) during that road trip, meaning the club could rely heavily on Kai Jones and Dwight Powell at center.

Mavericks' Brandon Williams: Good to go against Detroit
Williams (back) is available for Friday's game versus the Pistons.
Williams has been upgraded from probable to available Friday after missing Dallas' previous contest due to left hamstring tightness. Williams has shown impressive efficiency across his last 10 appearances, posting 56.4/42.1/89.3 shooting splits.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Practicing in G League
The Mavericks assigned Gafford (knee) to the G League's Texas Legends on Friday to participate in a 3-on-3 practice and will recall him after, NBA reporter Marc Stein reports.
Gafford hasn't played since Feb. 10 due to a right MCL sprain but appears to be ramping up toward a return to action. With Dereck Lively (ankle) and Anthony Davis (adductor) also set to practice in the G League, Dallas could receive a massive boost in their frontcourt before the end of the regular season.

Mavericks' Dereck Lively: Set to practice in G League
The Mavericks assigned Lively (ankle) to the G league's Texas Legends on Friday to take part in a 3-on-3 practice and will recall him after, NBA reporter Marc Stein reports.
Lively hasn't played since Jan. 14 due to an ankle injury but appears to be ramping up toward a return to action and will practice alongside Daniel Gafford (knee) while Anthony Davis (adductor) participates in a 5-on-5 scrimmage in the G League. Although there is no timetable for Lively's return, it appears that he will attempt to play before the end of the regular season.

Davis continues to ramp up toward a return to action and will take part in a 5-on-5 practice in the G League for the second time this week. Although there is no official timetable for the star big man's return, it appears that he will attempt to play before the end of the regular season.

Mavericks' Brandon Williams: Probable to face Detroit
Williams (back) is listed as probable for Friday's game against Detroit.
Williams missed Wednesday's loss to the Pacers due to left hamstring tightness, though he is expected to suit up Friday while he deals with lower back tightness. The two-way point guard has received an increased role of late due to injuries, and over his last five appearances (two starts), he has averaged 19.8 points, 4.2 assists, 3.8 rebounds, 1.8 three-pointers and 1.6 steals across 28.8 minutes per game.

Mavericks' Caleb Martin: Remains out for Friday
Martin (hip) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Pistons.
Martin will miss a third straight game for the Mavericks as he continues to deal with a right hip strain. The next opportunity for the veteran forward to return to the floor for Dallas will be Monday against the Nets.

Mavericks' Klay Thompson: Off injury report vs. Detroit
Thompson (illness) is off the injury report for Friday's game against the Pistons.
Thompson was a late scratch for Wednesday's loss to the Pacers due to the illness, though he is slated to return to action Friday. Over his last five outings, the veteran sharpshooter has averaged 18.0 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 2.6 three-pointers across 31.4 minutes per contest.

Mavericks' Kai Jones: Posts double-double in return
Jones (quadricep) supplied 18 points (8-9 FG, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds and one assist across 24 minutes during Wednesday's 135-131 loss to the Pacers.
Back in action after missing Dallas' previous seven games due to a left quad strain, Jones entered the starting five for a banged-up Mavericks squad that had just eight players available for the contest. He came through with an elite shooting performance, and Jones could be headed for heavy minutes in the frontcourt for the rest of the season. With Kessler Edwards eligible to be active for just one more game and with Dereck Lively (ankle), Anthony Davis (adductor) and Daniel Gafford (knee) facing uncertain timelines to return, Jones should be in line for plenty of run, making him worthy of a look for fantasy managers in need of help in the points, rebounds, blocks and field-goal percentage categories.

Mavericks' Jaden Hardy: Puts up 24 points in return
Hardy (ankle) notched 24 points (8-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two rebounds and two assists in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 135-131 loss to the Pacers.
Back in action after missing Dallas' last seven games due to a right ankle sprain, Hardy took on a prominent role off the bench right away for the injury-plagued Mavericks, who had just eight players available. Even if he continues to come off the bench moving forward, Hardy could serve as a key scoring option for the Mavericks while Kyrie Irving (knee) is out for the season. However, after leading the Mavericks on Wednesday with a 31.3 percent usage rate, Hardy could see a slight decline in his overall shot volume if Klay Thompson (illness) and Brandon Williams (hamstring) are cleared to play in Dallas' next game Friday versus the Pistons.

Mavericks' Spencer Dinwiddie: Boosts on both ends as starter
Dinwiddie posted 17 points (6-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, 12 assists and three steals across 42 minutes during Wednesday's 135-131 loss to Indiana.
Dinwiddie found himself in the starting lineup Wednesday with Brandon Williams (hamstring) inactive, doing it on both ends of the floor en route to a double-double showcase while leading all players in steals. Dinwiddie set a new season high in assists, handing out 10 or more dimes in three outings. He has recorded a double-double in two appearances, both of which came as a starter.

Mavericks' Kai Jones: Making first NBA start Wednesday
Jones is in the Mavericks' starting lineup against the Pacers on Wednesday, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Jones will make the first start of his NBA career Wednesday due to the Mavericks being short-handed by injuries. Jones has fully recovered from a left quadriceps strain that kept him sidelined for Dallas' last seven games. His last appearance was March 3 against the Kings, when he tallied 21 points, eight rebounds and one block over 34 minutes.

Mavericks' Spencer Dinwiddie: Starting against Indiana
Dinwiddie will start Wednesday's game against the Pacers, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.
With Brandon Williams (hamstring) out Wednesday, Dinwiddie will make his way into the starting five. Over his last 16 games as a starter, Dinwiddie has averaged 12.5 points, 5.0 assists, 3.1 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 30.3 minutes.
