Impact Gafford will make his Mavericks debut Saturday against the Thunder. However, Gafford will likely be eased into the rotation and should serve as the backup center to Maxi Kleber with Dereck Lively (nose) out.

Traded to Mavs Gafford was traded Thursday from the Wizards to the Mavericks for Richaun Holmes and draft compensation, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.
Impact Gafford is amid the best season of his career, averaging 10.9 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.2 blocks, 1.5 assists and 1.0 steals in 26.5 minutes. He's started all 45 of his appearances this season, but that may change in Dallas. Rookie Dereck Lively has proven to be effective at center, so pulling him from the starting group is probably unnecessary. However, the deal could ultimately create a near minutes split between the two, which could damage the fantasy value of both players.

Double-double against Cavs Gafford totaled 14 points (7-12 FG), 13 rebounds, four blocks and one steal across 35 minutes during Wednesday's 114-106 loss to Cleveland.
Impact The fifth-year center won his individual battle with Jarrett Allen on the night, even if the Wizards lost the war. The double-double was Gafford's fourth in the last six games and ninth of the season, leaving him one short of the career-high 10 he recorded in 2022-23. Over that six-game stretch, he's averaging 12.8 points, 11.3 boards, 2.2 blocks, 1.3 assists and 1.3 steals while shooting 66.0 percent from the floor.

Top rebounder in double-double Gafford produced 11 points (4-8 FG, 3-4 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 32 minutes during Friday's 110-102 loss to the Heat.
Impact Gafford led all Wizards in rebounds while adding a pair of assists and ending as one of five players with a double-digit point total in a double-double performance. Gafford, who has started in every game he has played in this season, has hauled in 10 or more rebounds in 10 games, finishing with a double-double in eight of those outings. He has now posted a double-double in three of his last four appearances.

Fills stat sheet Monday Gafford had 16 points (6-8 FG, 4-8 FT), 13 rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals across 28 minutes during Monday's 118-113 win over the Spurs.
Impact Gafford missed just two shots from the field and delivered his second consecutive double-double -- the first time he accomplished that feat in back-to-back appearances in 2023-24. The big man has also scored in double digits in five straight outings, and he's making his presence felt, both in real life and fantasy, despite holding a secondary role in the Wizards' offensive scheme.

Spins up double-double in win Gafford closed with 15 points (7-10 FG, 1-2 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist and three steals over 28 minutes during Saturday's 118-104 victory over Detroit.
Impact Some speculated that Gafford's usage would suffer with Marvin Bagley's addition to the roster, but the Arkansas product still has a firm hold on the starting job. Saturday marked Gafford's first double-double since returning from a two-game absence. With only six double-doubles this season, it's a milestone we shouldn't expect often from Gafford, whose fantasy impact is limited by the team's overall struggles.
