Maxi Kleber - Ruled out vs. Suns on Friday Kleber (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Suns.
Impact Kleber will miss his seventh consecutive game due to a right hamstring strain. The big man was deemed doubtful before being ruled out, and his next chance to suit up will come Sunday versus Denver. With P.J. Washington also ruled out, Naji Marshall and Olivier-Maxence Prosper are both candidates for an uptick in playing time.

Maxi Kleber - Upgraded to doubtful for Friday Kleber (hamstring) has been upgraded to doubtful for Friday's contest against Phoenix, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Impact Kleber has not played since October 26 due to his hamstring injury, but being upgraded to doubtful is an encouraging sign that he may make his return soon. With P.J. Washington (knee) also out, Naji Marshall and Olivier-Maxence Prosper will see extended playing time until one of Kleber or Washington returns.

Dereck Lively II - Out again Friday Lively (shoulder) will not play in Friday's game against the Suns, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Impact Lively will miss a third consecutive game, and he will join P.J. Washington (knee) and potentially Maxi Kleber (doubtful due to hamstring) as the key inactives for Friday's game. With Lively out, Daniel Gafford and Dwight Powell will likely occupy the team's minutes at center.
NOVEMBER 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
P.J. Washington Jr. - Still out Friday Washington (knee) won't play in Friday's game versus the Suns, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Impact Washington will miss his second straight contest Friday while dealing with a sprained right knee. Naji Marshall should continue to start in his absence. Washington's next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Denver.

Quentin Grimes - Solid contribution off bench Grimes put up seven points (3-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt), six rebounds and two assists over 16 minutes during Wednesday's 119-99 win over Chicago.
Impact Grimes has improved his efficiency since the start of the season, averaging 41.7 percent from beyond the arc over his last 5 contests. However, his role seems to largely be dependent on whether he can cash in a triple (15.0 minutes, 7.0 points per game when he makes a three compared to 10.8 minutes, 1.4 points per gamewhen he does not make one). If Grimes can improve his offensive consistency, he will be able to establish a larger role for himself moving forward.

Jaden Hardy - Provides spark off bench Hardy notched 11 points (4-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt) and two assists in 13 minutes during Wednesday's 119-99 victory over Chicago.
Impact Hardy was Dallas' leading bench scorer during Wednesday's win. The 22-year-old guard is averaging 4.1 points in 10.9 minutes across seven appearances this season.
NOVEMBER 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Luka Doncic - Tallies season-high four steals Doncic supplied 27 points (8-19 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 8-9 FT), seven rebounds, 13 assists and four steals over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 119-99 win over Chicago.
Impact Doncic has now recorded double-doubles in back-to-back contests. After registering four swipes against the Bulls, the superstar guard is now averaging 1.4 steals on the season. However, Doncic is struggling with his efficiency, shooting just 40.2 percent from the field and 32.9 percent from three across eight appearances in 2024-25.
NOVEMBER 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Spencer Dinwiddie - Dishes out season-high four dimes Dinwiddie totaled three points (1-8 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and four assists across 22 minutes during Wednesday's 119-99 victory over the Bulls.
Impact Despite operating as Dallas' primary backup point guard, Dinwiddie has failed to put many volume stats. The 31-year-old guard is averaging 5.0 points, 1.9 assists and 1.4 rebounds in 16.9 minutes across his seven appearances. Dinwiddie is also struggling with his efficiency, posting 34.4/27.3/70.0 shooting splits.

Brandon Williams - Makes garbage-time cameo Wednesday Williams recorded two points (1-1 FG), two rebounds and one assist across six minutes during Wednesday's 119-99 victory over the Bulls.
Impact Williams made his third appearance of the season, with all having come during garbage time at the tail end of blowouts. Dallas took control early Wednesday and never let the Bulls keep the game competitive, allowing Williams to help close out the contest. The two-way player will likely head to the Texas Legends in the coming days once the G League season gets underway.

Naji Marshall - Modest performance in spot start Marshall closed with eight points (4-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and two steals across 21 minutes during Wednesday's 119-99 win over Chicago.
Impact Marshall moved into the starting lineup Wednesday, replacing P.J. Washington who was ruled out with a knee injury. This game was all over but the shouting heading into the second half, allowing the second and third units to play additional minutes down the stretch. It appears as though Marshall will remain in the starting lineup until Washington gets back on the court. Although his production is typically low-volume, his ability to contribute across multiple categories should keep him on the floor.
NOVEMBER 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Markieff Morris - Makes season debut Wednesday Morris ended with zero points (0-1 FG), two rebounds and two assists across five minutes during Wednesday's 119-99 victory over the Bulls.
Impact The Mavericks dominated Wednesday's matchup with the Bulls, allowing Morris to dust the cobwebs off for five minutes. Now toward the backend of his career, Morris is nothing more than a veteran locker room presence, on most nights. Even when he does play, he is unlikely to deliver meaningful contributions, as we saw in this one.
