Steven Adams - Won't play against Golden StateAdams is out for Saturday's game versus the Warriors due to right knee injury recovery.

ImpactAdams missed all of the 2023-24 campaign after undergoing right knee surgery, and it appears that Houston will hold him out of Saturday's contest for precautionary reasons. Jock Landale should operate as the team's backup center in his absence. Adams' next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with the Knicks.

Jabari Smith Jr. - Solid outing in winSmith chipped in 14 points (5-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds and one steal in 29 minutes during Thursday's 108-102 win over the Mavericks.

ImpactAfter starting off the season struggling with his efficiency, Smith has shot over 50 percent from the field in back-to-back games. While Smith's scoring numbers haven't been particularly impressive, he is one of the best rebounding forwards in the NBA, averaging 8.4 boards per contest.

Klay Thompson - Scores 12 points vs. RocketsThompson finished with 12 points (5-13 FG, 2-9 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal across 30 minutes during Thursday's 108-102 loss to the Rockets.

ImpactThompson was the third-leading scorer for the Mavericks on Thursday behind Luka Doncic (29) and Kyrie Irving (28), though Thompson was inefficient from three-point range. As the third option on offense, Thompson is averaging 12.8 field-goal attempts per game (his lowest since the 2011-12 regular season), 9.8 of which are coming from three-point range, which is exactly what he was brought into Dallas for. Through the first five games of the regular season, he's averaging 15.6 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.2 steals over 29.4 minutes per game.

Kyrie Irving - Well-rounded effort vs. HoustonIrving accumulated 28 points (10-20 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds and seven assists across 43 minutes during Thursday's 108-102 loss to the Rockets.

ImpactIrving led the Mavericks in assists Thursday and was second in both points and assists behind Luka Doncic (29) and P.J. Washington (nine), respectively. Irving has scored 22-plus points over his last four games, and over that span he has averaged 27.0 points on 50.6 percent shooting (including 64.0 percent from three on 6.3 3PA/G), 6.5 assists, 5.0 rebounds and 1.3 steals over 39.3 minutes per game.

Luka Doncic - Game-high 29 points ThursdayDoncic amassed 29 points (12-25 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Thursday's 108-102 loss to the Rockets.

ImpactDoncic and Kyrie Irving combined for 57 of the Mavericks' 102 points Thursday, but the superstar duo were unable to pull off the fourth-quarter comeback. Doncic was unusually quiet in his rebounding and assists in the loss, but that should be viewed as an anomaly as he averaged 9.8 assists and 9.2 rebounds across 70 games during the 2023-24 regular season.

Alperen Sengün - Logs another double-doubleSengun ended with 17 points (5-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists and one block in 35 minutes during Thursday's 108-102 victory over the Mavericks.

ImpactSengun's double-double Thursday was his fourth of the 2024-25 regular season, and he ended the game tied with Jalen Green for most rebounds. Sengun is shooting just 33.3 percent from the field over his last four outings, but the 2021 first-round pick will provide consistent fantasy value across all stats, especially rebounding. Through the first five games of the regular season, Sengun is averaging 15.2 points, 12.4 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.6 steals across 29.8 minutes per contest.
