Mavericks' Dereck Lively: Sees 21 minutes in win
Lively contributed seven points (2-5 FG, 3-6 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one steal in 21 minutes during Tuesday's 96-93 win over the Clippers in Game 2 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.
Daniel Gafford started this game, but he was ineffective in just nine minutes of action and left the game briefly due to a back injury. Lively had more success, obviously, but he didn't get a ton of burn either, as Maxi Kleber and P.J. Washington soaked up the bulk of the frontcourt minutes. The logjam at center is far from ideal for fantasy purposes for both Gafford and Lively.

Mavericks' Dante Exum: Used sparingly in win
Exum finished with zero points (0-1 FG), one rebound and one block across six minutes during Tuesday's 96-93 victory over the Clippers in Game 2 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.
Exum saw just six minutes off the bench despite an ankle injury to Tim Hardaway. The Mavericks opted to go with size over speed, resulting in an important victory. With so much flexibility across their roster, Exum's role could fluctuate significantly moving forward.

Mavericks' Luka Doncic: Leads all scorers Tuesday
Doncic chipped in 32 points (11-26 FG, 5-14 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal over 46 minutes during Tuesday's 96-93 win over the Clippers in Game 2 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.
Doncic carried Dallas to victory Tuesday despite struggling from the field. In a low-scoring affair, Doncic hit several crucial buckets down the stretch, much like he has done all season. They will now return home for what will be a pivotal Game 3. Look for Doncic to put on a show in front of his home fans.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Non-factor in Game 2 victory
Gafford logged zero points (0-3 FG), one rebound and one assist in nine minutes during Tuesday's 96-93 victory over the Clippers in Game 2 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.
Gafford got the starting nod but managed just nine minutes in the victory. Given the Mavericks' depth at the center position, Gafford's role is likely to hinge on individual matchups. Over the first two playoff matchups this year, he's averaged just 1.5 points in 11.5 minutes per game. With the series now level at 1-1, the Mavericks will head home as they attempt to seize the upper hand.

Mavericks' Tim Hardaway: Out for remainder of game
Hardaway won't return to Tuesday's Game 2 versus the Clippers due to a right ankle sprain. He will finish the contest with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal in six minutes.
Hardaway saw minimal action Tuesday before suffering a right ankle sprain that will cause him to miss the remainder of the contest. Dante Exum and Josh Green are candidates to receive increased playing time in his absence. Hardaway's availability for Game 3 on Friday is uncertain.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Checks back into game
Gafford (back) returned to Tuesday's Game 2 against the Clippers with 7:54 remaining in the second quarter.
Gafford was deemed questionable to return after sustaining a lower back injury, but he returned to the court after missing approximately one quarter. The 24-year-old big man will look to make a bigger impact than he did in Game 1, when he tallied just three points and zero rebounds.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Questionable to return Tuesday
Gafford is questionable for the remainder of Tuesday's Game 2 against the Clippers due to a lower back injury.
Gafford recorded no stats in three minutes of action before exiting Tuesday's contest with 8:34 remaining in the first quarter due to a lower back injury. If Gafford is unable to return, Dereck Lively will likely serve as Dallas' primary center.

Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Posts double figures in Game 1 loss
Washington racked up 11 points (4-10 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, one block and two steals over 37 minutes during Sunday's 109-97 loss to the Clippers in Game 1 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.
The big man started alongside Daniel Gafford up front and knocked down a pair of threes on his way to joining Kyrie Irving (31 points) and Luka Doncic (33) as the only Mavs players in double figures. The fact that Washington saw 37 minutes of action bodes well for his fantasy value as the series moves along.

Mavericks' Kyrie Irving: Strong from deep in 30-point outing
Irving ended with 31 points (10-18 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 8-9 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and two steals over 39 minutes during Sunday's 109-97 loss to the Clippers in Game 1 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.
Irving entered the postseason well-rested after sitting the final two games of the regular season, and while both he and Luka Doncic (33 points) had strong offensive showings, it wasn't enough to propel the Mavs over the Kawhi Leonard-less Clippers. Irving finishing with at least 30 points in 13 outings during the regular season, entering the playoffs with three or more threes in eight of his final 10 contests.

Mavericks' Luka Doncic: Top scorer in double-double outing
Doncic had 33 points (11-26 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 13 rebounds, six assists and one steal in 42 minutes during Sunday's 109-97 loss to the Clippers in Game 1 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.
Doncic didn't show any signs of rust in Sunday's Game 1 of the playoffs after sitting the final two games of the regular season, leading all players in scoring while leading the Mavericks in threes made, rebounds and assists in a double-double effort. Doncic posted at least 30 points and 13 rebounds in four games during the regular season, posting north of 25 points in 10 straight outings to round out the year.

Mavericks' Jaden Hardy: Moves to bench
Hardy will run with the second unit for Sunday's Game 1 against the Clippers, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Hardy is unlikely to be relevantly utilized in the postseason rotation, with the second-year guard having no playoff experience under his belt. Dallas' backcourt is fully healthy entering their first-round series against the Clippers.

Mavericks' Josh Green: Not starting Sunday
Green won't start Game 1 of the opening-round series against the Clippers on Sunday, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
With Dallas resting its regulars, Green drew a spot start during the regular-season finale and posted four points, three rebounds and three assists in 31 minutes during a loss to Oklahoma City. Across 24 regular-season appearances off the bench, Green averaged 6.3 points, 2.4 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 21.4 minutes per game.

Mavericks' Dwight Powell: Returns to reserve role
Powell won't start Game 1 of the opening-round series against the Clippers on Sunday, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
With Dallas resting its regulars, Powell drew a spot start during the regular-season finale and posted two points, eight rebounds, a steal and a block in 27 minutes during a loss to Oklahoma City. With Dereck Lively (knee) and Daniel Gafford healthy, Powell isn't guaranteed consistent playing time during the postseason.
