Mavericks' Jaden Hardy: Hits for 17 off bench
Hardy supplied 17 points (6-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one block in 25 minutes off the bench during Friday's 134-122 loss to Cleveland.
It was the third-year guard's best scoring effort since he delivered a season-high 23 points in a spot start against the Hawks on Nov. 25. Hardy has played more than 20 minutes in three straight games as Dallas adjusts to the absence of Luka Doncic (calf) while also having Kyrie Irving (illness) spot in and out of the lineup, but it will likely require both star guards being unavailable again for the 2022 second-round pick to be much more than a DFS punt play for fantasy purposes.

Mavericks' Quentin Grimes: Pops for team-high 26 against Cavs
Grimes produced 26 points (9-14 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 7-7 FT), two rebounds, six assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Friday's 134-122 loss to the Cavaliers.
Making his second start in the last three games while Kyrie Irving has been battling an illness, Grimes led the Mavs in scoring with his best offensive performance since he dropped 28 points on the Blazers back on Dec. 1. The fourth-year guard has seen his court time and usage boosted with Luka Doncic (calf) sidelined, and Grimes has attempted double-digit shots in four straight games while averaging 17.3 points, 5.0 boards, 3.8 assists, 2.3 threes and 1.3 combined steals and blocks in 31.0 minutes a contest during that span. Doncic isn't expected back until some time in February, making Grimes an intriguing fantasy option for the next month or more.

Mavericks' Quentin Grimes: Starting vs. Cleveland
Grimes is in the starting unit for Friday's game against the Cavaliers.
The Mavericks will have to rely on two backups in their backcourt since Grimes will start alongside Spencer Dinwiddie due to the absences of Luka Doncic (calf) and Kyrie Irving (illness). Grimes is averaging 14.2 points, 4.8 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game when deployed in a starting role this season.

Mavericks' Dereck Lively: Full-go against Cleveland
Lively won't have a minutes restriction in Friday's game versus the Cavaliers, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
Lively returned to action Wednesday after missing three straight games with a hip injury and logged just 20 minutes. However, Lively will now be available to play closer to the 26.4 minutes per contest he was averaging in his previous 10 appearances.

Mavericks' Maxi Kleber: Cleared to play against Cleveland
Kleber (oblique) has been cleared to play against the Cavaliers, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
Kleber is available to help the Mavericks on Friday as the team takes on the Cavaliers in Dallas. He has had some rough performances lately, scoring only five points combined over the last three games after dropping 15 points against the Suns last Saturday.

Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Will play Friday against Cleveland
Washington (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Cavaliers, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Washington sprained his right knee in the second quarter of Wednesday's loss to the Rockets and did not return for the second half. He was initially listed as questionable for Friday's game, but the injury doesn't appear severe enough for the 26-year-old forward to be sidelined. Washington's availability is crucial for a Dallas team that will be without Luka Doncic (calf) and Kyrie Irving (illness) for Friday's tilt.

Mavericks' Kyrie Irving: Late scratch against Cleveland
Irving (illness) has been downgraded to out for Friday's game against the Cavaliers.
After not appearing on the initial injury report, Irving is a late scratch due to an illness Friday. The superstar guard's next chance to play comes during Monday's showdown with the Grizzlies. With Luka Doncic (calf) already sidelined, Spencer Dinwiddie and Quentin Grimes figure to soak up additional minutes and ball-handling responsibilities in a tough matchup against the 29-4 Cavaliers, and Klay Thompson should see a major boost in usage as well.

Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Iffy for Friday
Washington (knee) has been listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Cavaliers.
Washington suffered a right knee sprain in Wednesday's game against the Rockets. The veteran forward may be unable to take the floor Friday against the Cavaliers, which would be a costly loss for Dallas. He averages 12.5 points and 7.4 rebounds per game this season. If Washington is ruled out, Maxi Kleber (oblique) is also listed as questionable, and Naji Marshall is serving a suspension, which means the Mavericks will be thin in the frontcourt and may have to turn to Klay Thompson and Olivier-Maxence Prosper or potentially Dwight Powell or Daniel Gafford to help out at power forward.

Mavericks' Maxi Kleber: Questionable for Friday
Kleber is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Cavaliers.
Kleber is in jeopardy of missing his first game in over two weeks due to the oblique injury. If the big man is sidelined, Olivier-Maxence Prosper and Dwight Powell are candidates for a slight bump in minutes.

Mavericks' Klay Thompson: Efficient in defeat Wednesday
Thompson racked up 16 points (6-11 FG, 4-8 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and one steal across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 110-99 loss to the Rockets.
Thompson was efficient in his return to game action after missing Monday's loss to the Kings due to an illness. The sharpshooter struggled with consistency in the early part of the season, though he has found his groove of late, reaching the double-digit scoring mark in each of his last 11 appearances. Over that 11-game span, Thompson has averaged 16.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.5 steals across 27.5 minutes per contest.

Mavericks' Kyrie Irving: Well-rounded effort in defeat
Irving ended Wednesday's 110-99 loss to the Rockets with 16 points (7-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, two assists, three steals and two blocks in 37 minutes.
Irving didn't score at an elite level Wednesday, though he still stuffed the stat sheet with a season-high mark in blocks. The star guard has now delivered three or more steals-plus-blocks in seven outings, and he racked up three-plus steals in five of those matchups. Over his last 10 appearances, Irving has averaged 24.8 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.7 blocks across 35.9 minutes per contest. He has also shot 42.1 percent from beyond the arc over that 10-game span.

Mavericks' Quentin Grimes: Leads Mavericks in loss
Grimes ended Wednesday's 110-99 loss to Houston with 17 points (6-13 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one block in 30 minutes.
With Kyrie Irving (shoulder) and Klay Thompson (illness) returning to the court, Grimes retreated to the bench Wednesday. The 24-year-old still received 30 minutes off the bench, and he provided an offensive boost from the second unit with a team-high mark in scoring. Grimes has delivered a spark for the Mavericks through the early part of the season, and over his last five outings, he has averaged 12.2 points, 6.0 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 0.8 blocks across 28.8 minutes per contest.

Mavericks' Dereck Lively: Well-rounded line in return
Lively (hip) finished with eight points (4-5 FG), six rebounds, six assists, four blocks and one steal across 20 minutes Wednesday in the Mavericks' 110-99 loss to the Rockets.
Though he took back his usual spot in the starting five in his return from a three-game absence due to a left hip contusion, Lively ended up seeing lighter minutes than usual while Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd deployed a deep center rotation that included Daniel Gafford, Dwight Powell and Maxi Kleber. Powell likely won't be featured in the rotation moving forward, while Kleber could be needed to play more minutes at power forward after P.J. Washington (knee) sat out the entire second half of Wednesday's contest. With that in mind, expect Lively's playing time to pick up as he becomes further removed from the hip injury, and despite getting more limited run than usual against the Rockets, the second-year big man was still able to come away with a solid all-around fantasy line.

Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Suffers knee sprain
Washington has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against Houston due to a right knee sprain.
Washington likely suffered the injury at some point in the second quarter, as he posted six points (3-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one block in 16 minutes in the first half before Maxi Kleber replaced him in the starting five to open the third quarter. The severity of Washington's sprain isn't known, so he can be viewed as day-to-day heading into Friday's game against the Cavaliers until the Mavericks provide an update on his condition.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Reverts to bench against Houston
Gafford isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Rockets, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
With Dereck Lively (hip) back in action, Gafford will head back to the bench Wednesday. In 17 games from the second unit this season, Gafford is averaging 11.5 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.3 blocks in 19.1 minutes.

Grimes isn't part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Houston, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
Grimes notched his 10th start of the season Monday as the Mavericks dealt with injuries to Luka Doncic (calf), Kyrie Irving (shoulder) and Klay Thompson (illness). With Irving and Thompson now healthy, Grimes will return to a reserve role.

Mavericks' Jaden Hardy: Back to bench Wednesday
Hardy is not in the Mavericks' starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockets, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
Hardy made his third start of the regular season against the Kings on Monday, and he finished with eight points, three rebounds and two blocks across 21 minutes. He'll revert to a reserve role Wednesday due to the return of Kyrie Irving.
