Mavericks' Max Christie: Strong outing off bench in defeat
Christie closed Sunday's 130-125 loss to the 76ers with 18 points (6-8 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and one block across 30 minutes.
Christie provided a nice boost off the Dallas bench Sunday, putting together one of his best outings in a Mavericks uniform while finishing as one of five Dallas players with 15 or more points. Since arriving in Dallas, Christie has tallied three outings with 18 or more points while hauling in at least eight boards for the second time.

Mavericks' Brandon Williams: Reaches double figures in start
Williams ended with 11 points (3-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 32 minutes during Sunday's 130-125 loss to the 76ers.
Williams got his second start of the season Sunday due to injuries throughout the Dallas roster, reaching the double-digit mark and finishing as one of six Mavericks in double figures. In both of his starts, Williams has reached double figures while averaging 12 points over those two contests.

Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Dominates in return to lineup
Washington (ankle) registered 29 points (11-17 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and one steal across 32 minutes Sunday in the Mavericks' 130-125 loss to the 76ers.
Suiting up for the first time since March 1 after missing the past seven games while recovering from a right ankle sprain, Washington took on a huge role right off the bat for a depleted Mavericks squad. The veteran forward handled a team-high 32.5 percent usage rate -- well above his season-long rate of 20.3 percent -- and he combined the extra touches on offense with an efficient shooting performance to turn in one of his better scoring performances of the season. Assuming he experiences no further setbacks with his ankle, Washington could be primed for a huge finish to the season for a Dallas squad that will likely be without Anthony Davis (adductor) through at least early April and Kyrie Irving (knee) for the remainder of the campaign.

Mavericks' Caleb Martin: Questionable to face Philly
Martin is questionable for Sunday's game against the 76ers due to a left hip strain.

Mavericks' Kai Jones: Iffy for Sunday
Jones (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the 76ers.

Mavericks' Dante Exum: Diagnosed with hand fracture
The Mavericks announced Saturday that Exum has been diagnosed with a left hand fracture and will be re-evaluated in four weeks.
Exum suffered the injury during Friday's loss to the Rockets and will miss the remainder of the regular season. With Dallas currently sitting in 10th place in the Western Conference, the Mavericks will need to make a deep run in the playoffs without Kyrie Irving (knee) and potentially Anthony Davis (adductor) in order to give Exum a chance of returning to action. Exum -- who is set to become a free agent this summer -- finished his second season in Dallas with averages of 9.1 points, 2.8 assists, 1.7 rebounds and 1.2 three-pointers in 19.1 minutes per game over 18 appearances.

Mavericks' Kessler Edwards: Swats away career-high four shots
Edwards tallied 12 points (4-10 FG, 2-5 Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, four blocks and one steal across 35 minutes Friday in the Mavericks' 133-96 loss to the Rockets.
The Mavericks were shorthanded in the frontcourt once again Friday, allowing Edwards to pick up his fifth consecutive start at center. He's produced well during that five-game stretch with averages of 14.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.8 three-pointers, 1.6 assists, 1.2 blocks and 1.0 steals in 31.6 minutes per contest, but Edwards' run of fantasy value will soon come to an end. A two-way player, Edwards has been active for 47 of the Mavericks' games this season, so he'll be able to suit up for just three of the team's remaining 14 contests. The imminent returns of P.J. Washington (ankle) and Kai Jones (quadricep) may also result in Edwards losing out on playing time over his final three appearances of the season.

Mavericks' Dante Exum: Likely done for season
Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd acknowledged after Friday's 133-96 loss to the Rockets that Exum will likely miss the rest of the season with a fractured left hand, NBA reporter Marc Stein reports.
Kidd's comments indicate that Exum will most likely require surgery to address the injury, which he sustained in the second quarter of Friday's contest. Exum didn't make his 2024-25 debut until Jan. 31 after he fractured his right wrist in training camp and required surgery. The 29-year-old guard appeared in 18 games (12 starts) for Dallas this season, averaging 9.1 points, 2.8 assists, 1.7 rebounds and 1.2 three-pointers in 19.1 minutes per contest while shooting 48 percent from the field. He's scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent this summer.

Mavericks' Brandon Williams: Team-high 25 points off bench
Williams (hamstring) supplied 25 points (11-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 26 minutes during Friday's 133-96 loss to the Rockets.
After missing a game due to a hamstring injury earlier in the week, Williams played through the issue for the second contest in a row with no obvious restrictions. The fourth-year guard has provided a major lift for the injury-plagued Mavericks of late, averaging 20.4 points, 5.4 assists, 4.4 rebounds, 1.8 steals and 1.8 three-pointers in 29.2 minutes over his last five outings. While he should be primed to continue serving as a key playmaker for Dallas until the team gets some healthy bodies back, Williams' fantasy value will have an expiration date. The two-way player has been active for 44 games at the NBA level this season and is eligible to suit up in just six of the Mavericks' remaining 14 games.
