Mavericks' D'Angelo Russell: Modest performance Saturday
Russell compiled seven points (2-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-5 FT), five assists, three rebounds and one steal in 22 minutes during Saturday's preseason loss to the Hornets.
Russell was somewhat disappointing again Saturday, continuing what has been an underwhelming start to his career in Dallas. While he did hand out a team-high five assists, his shooting let him down, both from the field and the stripe. With Kyrie Irving likely out until at least January with a knee injury, Russell will serve as the starting point guard. He is worth drafting in all standard leagues, although managers may have to temper their expectations given the talent around him.

Mavericks' Max Christie: Shot goes missing Saturday
Christie amassed six points (2-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound and one assist in 18 minutes during Saturday's preseason loss to Charlotte.
Christie struggled to find his footing on the offensive end, a worrying sign coming off what was a disappointing end to the 2024-25 season. Despite the injury to Kyrie Irving (knee), Christie's role this season is likely to be somewhat limited. His overall skill set does him no favors, leaving him as more of a modest scoring threat off the bench.

Mavericks' Dereck Lively: Strong two-way performance
Lively finished with 10 points (5-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists, two steals and two blocks in 22 minutes during Saturday's preseason loss to the Hornets.
Lively turned in his best performance of the preseason, producing on both ends of the floor. With Daniel Gafford sidelined due to an ankle injury, Lively has an opportunity to establish himself as the primary center, a role the coaching staff would love to see him embrace. While he is unlikely to play what might be considered typical starter's minutes, Lively should still be a good source of boards and blocks, while also scoring efficiently.

Mavericks' Dennis Smith: Sees minutes off bench
Smith (undisclosed) played six minutes off the bench in Saturday's 120-116 preseason loss to the Hornets and went scoreless (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) while adding a rebound, two assists and a steal.
Smith is competing for a roster spot before the 2025-26 season opener against the Spurs on Oct. 22. The lack of minutes he had in this game doesn't bode well for his chances. Still, at least he was healthy enough to play after missing Monday's exhibition against the Thunder.

Mavericks' Klay Thompson: Scores 14 points Saturday
Thompson notched 14 points (5-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt) and a rebound across 21 minutes in Saturday's 120-116 preseason loss to the Hornets.
Thompson was sharp from beyond the arc and drained four triples in this preseason showing. The Mavericks don't need Thompson to be much of a playmaker with D'Angelo Russell, Anthony Davis and Cooper Flagg on the court, but he remains a vital piece of the offense due to his outside shooting.

Mavericks' Cooper Flagg: Strong two-way showing
Flagg posted 11 points (4-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists and three steals across 24 minutes in Saturday's 120-116 preseason loss to the Hornets.
The first overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft once again looked solid on both ends of the court and made his presence felt across the board. Flagg logged a team-high 24 minutes, the same tally as Anthony Davis, and all signs point to him having a prominent role for the Mavs right out of the gate once their regular season begins on Oct. 22 against the Spurs.

Mavericks' Dalano Banton: Won't play Saturday
Banton (rest) has been ruled out for Saturday's preseason game against the Hornets, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
Banton signed with the team on Tuesday. He joins Dante Exum (knee) and Caleb Martin (undisclosed), who were also ruled out ahead of this preseason matchup.

Mavericks' Caleb Martin: Won't face Charlotte
Martin (undisclosed) is out for Saturday's preseason game against the Hornets, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
Martin has been dealing with an undisclosed injury and will not be available for this matchup. His next chance to suit up will come against the Jazz on Monday in another preseason contest.

Mavericks' Brandon Williams: Won't play Saturday
Williams (hamstring) won't play in Saturday's preseason game against the Hornets, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
Williams has been nursing a hamstring injury in recent days, but he's not yet ready to return to the court. His next chance to play before the start of the regular season will come Monday against the Jazz in another pre-season contest.

Mavericks' Dante Exum: Dealing with knee injury
Exum (knee) has been ruled out for Saturday's preseason game against the Hornets, Noah Weber of TheSmokingCuban.com reports.
Exum has not been participating in practices or playing in any games during the preseason, which was previously for an undisclosed reason. It remains to be seen how much time he may miss, with no clear timetable set for his return to the floor.

Mavericks' Brandon Williams: Considered day-to-day
Williams (hamstring) said Thursday that he's considered day-to-day, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Head coach Jason Kidd said Oct. 1 that Williams had sustained a hamstring strain and would be out for one week, but it sounds like he's progressing in the right direction. That being said, Williams wasn't sure if he would be ready to give it a go for Saturday's exhibition against the Hornets.

Mavericks' Dennis Smith: Limited at practice
Smith (undisclosed) participated in half of Tuesday's practice, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Smith missed Monday's exhibition versus the Thunder, and it's still not clear what exactly he's dealing with. For now, he can be considered questionable for Saturday's exhibition against Charlotte.

Mavericks' Dante Exum: Remains out
Exum (undisclosed) did not practice Tuesday, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Exum was unable to play in Monday's preseason opener, and coach Jason Kidd declined to discuss his injury. "He's just out," Kidd said. "That's all I can tell you." At this point, it would be a surprise to see Exum suit up for Saturday's exhibition against Charlotte.

Mavericks' Caleb Martin: Limited at practice
Martin (undisclosed) participated in half of Dallas' practice Tuesday, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.
It's not clear what type of issue Martin is dealing with. The forward is projected to have a minor role on the wing this season. During the 2024-25 regular season, Martin made 14 appearances with averages of 5.4 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 19.6 minutes.

Mavericks' Jaden Hardy: Takes 13 shots in win
Hardy produced 12 points (4-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 22 minutes of Monday's 106-89 preseason win over the Thunder.
Mavericks coach Jason Kidd utilized 15 different players Monday, but it was Hardy who led the team in minutes played. Hardy is certainly not shy on the offensive end, and he seems determined to make his case for an early-season role in the absence of Kyrie Irving (knee).

Mavericks' Max Christie: Looks sharp in 15 minutes
Christie logged 12 points (3-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three assists and two rebounds in 15 minutes of Monday's 106-89 preseason win over the Thunder.
Coach Jason Kidd really spread the minutes out Monday, making it hard to get a good read on the entire rotation. That being said, Christie is projected to be a big part of the second unit and has drawn praise from Kidd during training camp for his versatility and ability to play multiple positions. The Mavericks are much deeper in 2025-26, however, so Christie is unlikely to duplicate his success from a minutes standpoint.

Mavericks' Dalano Banton: Signs with Dallas
Banton signed a deal with the Mavericks on Tuesday.
The terms of the deal were not disclosed, so this may simply be an Exhibit 10 contract. The Mavericks currently don't have a roster spot open, but that doesn't mean Banton couldn't find his way onto the official roster. The guard holds career regular-season averages of 6.8 points, 2.2 rebounds and 2.0 assists.

Mavericks' D'Angelo Russell: Deals five assists in preseason win
Russell totaled five points (1-3 FG, 2-2 FT, 1-3 3Pt), five assists and two rebounds over 15 minutes in Monday's 106-89 preseason win over Oklahoma City.
Russell will be the clear starter at point guard for the Mavericks until Kyrie Irving (knee) returns. Irving will remain out until January at the earliest, and Russell should see max minutes due to a lack of clear competition on the depth chart.
... See More ... See Less -
Mavericks' Anthony Davis: Sees 16 minutes of action
Davis compiled seven points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt), seven rebounds, two blocked shots and an assist in 16 minutes during Monday's 106-89 preseason win over Oklahoma State.
The Mavericks have a wide array of options at center, so Davis should find himself fully entrenched at the four spot for most of the season. The veteran didn't have many opportunities to show his worth after joining the team last season, but he appears to be past the groin injury that kept him sidelined. He also underwent eye surgery and will be wearing protective eyewear for the foreseeable future.

Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Pours in 14 points from bench
Washington tallied 14 points (4-9 FG, 6-7 FT, 0-2 3Pt), three rebounds, an assist and a blocked shot across 14 minutes in Monday's preseason win over Oklahoma City.
With the Mavericks employing Anthony Davis and Dereck Lively in the first unit, Washington backed up the duo off the bench. Since Davis and Lively are both healthy, Washington may see a reduction in production if the trend continues. Heavy usage for Cooper Flagg will also curb Washington's potential.
