Spencer Dinwiddie - Not listed on injury report Dinwiddie isn't listed on the injury report for Monday's matchup against Minnesota.
Impact Dinwiddie missed Saturday's loss to Cleveland due to rest, but as expected, he'll return to action Monday. Luka Doncic (quad) is listed as questionable, so Dinwiddie may act as Dallas' go-to playmaker against the Timberwolves.
DECEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Dwight Powell - Deemed questionable for Monday Powell (thigh) is questionable for Monday's matchup against Minnesota.
Impact Powell sat out Saturday's contest due to a thigh contusion he suffered during Friday's win over Portland. Davis Bertans (illness) is also questionable, while Maxi Kleber (hamstring) has been ruled out, so Dallas' frontcourt may be extremely shorthanded again.
DECEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Tim Hardaway Jr. - Iffy for Monday's contest Hardaway is questionable for Monday's matchup against Minnesota due to an illness.
Impact Hardaway hasn't missed a contest since Oct. 25, but he's in danger of sitting out Monday due to an illness. He's started 12 straight games, posting 16.9 points during that stretch, so his potential absence would be a huge blow to the Mavericks, who may also be without Davis Bertans (illness), Luka Doncic (quad) and Dwight Powell (thigh).

Davis Bertans - Dealing with illness Bertans is questionable for Monday's matchup against Minnesota due to an illness.
Impact Bertans hasn't played in back-to-back games due to an illness and may be sidelined for a third straight contest. Dwight Powell (thigh) is also questionable, while Maxi Kleber (hamstring) is out, so Dallas' frontcourt may be extremely shorthanded once again.
DECEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Luka Doncic - Listed questionable for Monday Doncic (quadriceps) is questionable for Monday's matchup against Minnesota.
Impact Doncic didn't suit up Saturday due to a right quad strain, but he'll have a chance to return Monday. Davis Bertans (illness), Tim Hardaway (illness) and Dwight Powell (thigh) are all considered questionable, but the Mavericks are expected to get Spencer Dinwiddie back following a one-game absence due to rest.
DECEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Josh Green - Not playing Monday Green (elbow) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Timberwolves.
Impact Green is set to miss a sixth game in a row, but considering he has averaged just 7.0 points and 2.3 rebounds across 20.3 minutes per game this season, his absence shouldn't affect many fantasy rosters. His next chance to play will come against Minnesota on Wednesday.

Jaden Hardy - Assigned to G League Hardy was assigned to the Texas Legends of the G League on Sunday.
Impact After spending the last week with Dallas, the team has decided to reassign him to its G League affiliate, where he's been dominant, averaging 30 points, 4.7 rebounds and 3.8 assists in 34.3 minutes per night. However, he's struggled to find his rhythm with Dallas, averaging 4.2 points over 7.1 minutes per night.

Six observations: Mavericks, Kemba Walker nearly win despite Luka Dončić's absence Dallas chose this game to rest Dončić, yes. But resting Dončić this season isn't a choice.

Dorian Finney-Smith - Poor production continues Saturday Finney-Smith totaled 11 points (4-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and one block across 40 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 100-99 overtime loss to the Cavalier...
Impact Finney-Smith continues to log heavy minutes but thus far, has been unable to replicate what he was able to do last season. He is outside the top 150 for the season, offering uspide in three-pointers alone. He remains rostered in a handful of standard formats, something that certainly should not be the case.

Christian Wood - Huge double-double in loss Wood had 26 points (9-18 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals across 43 minutes during Saturday's 100-99 overtime loss to Cleveland.
Impact Wood played a whopping 43 minutes in the loss, putting forth his best performance as a member of the Mavericks. After a subdued period, Wood has come alive over the past few games, topping 20 points in four of his past five contests. While his spot in the starting lineup is far from guaranteed, his playing time appears to be trending up, making him a solid must-roster player across all formats.
DECEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Kemba Walker - Vintage performance Saturday Walker closed with 32 points (12-25 FG, 4-13 3Pt, 4-6 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and one block over 42 minutes during Saturday's 100-99 overtime loss to the Cavaliers.
Impact Walker stepped into the starting lineup Saturday, turning back the clock in what was his best performance in recent memory. Both Luka Doncic (quad) and Spencer Dinwiddie (knee) were out in this one, affording Walker an opportunity to relive his glory days. Prior to this, he had played no more than 20 minutes in either of his games, having a minimal impact. While it was nice to take a trip down memory lane, managers won't want to go chasing this performance unless both Doncic and Dinwiddie miss further time.

Kemba Walker - Making first start of season Walker will start Saturday's game against the Cavaliers, Mark Followill of Bally Sports Southwest reports.
Impact With Luka Doncic (quad) and Spencer Dinwiddie (knee) sidelined, Walker enters the starting lineup in what will be just his third appearance with Dallas. Walker has averaged 7.0 points, 3.5 assists and 2.5 rebounds in 16.5 minutes per game this season and should handle a much larger workload Saturday.
DECEMBER 18, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Davis Bertans - Available Saturday Bertans (illness) will play in Saturday's game against the Cavaliers.
Impact Bertans missed Friday's game due to illness but will give it a go Saturday. He will likely be in line for a larger workload given the absence of Dwight Powell (thigh) and Maxi Kleber (hamstring) in the frontcourt.
