Williams (rest) is out for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks.

As expected, Williams will be held out for the second leg of this back-to-back set for maintenance. During Tuesday's game against Houston, he was solid with 19 points (7-9 FG, 5-6 FT), eight rebounds and three steals across 28 minutes.

Allen (quadriceps) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks.

Allen has a contusion and may be held out for the second leg of this back-to-back set. If he's held out by the Suns, Jordan Goodwin and Rasheer Fleming could see a bump in minutes on the wings.

Williams (illness) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Suns.

Williams didn't play Tuesday against the Clippers, and barring a miracle, he's likely to sit out the second leg of this back-to-back set Wednesday as well. With Williams expected to be out, Ryan Nembhard should be in line to see more minutes in the backcourt.

Washington is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Suns due to a left elbow sprain.

Washington missed the front end of this back-to-back due to left elbow soreness, and he's one of six Mavericks players being listed as doubtful. If the 27-year-old forward is ultimately ruled out, Khris Middleton and Tyler Smith would be candidates to see increased playing time.

Gobert (rest) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Magic, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.

The veteran center will sit out the second leg of this back-to-back set, joining Anthony Edwards (knee), Julius Randle (hand), Ayo Dosunmu (rest) and Mike Conley (rest) on the inactive list. With Gobert out, Naz Reid should take on an expanded role, while Joan Beringer will likely see a significant bump in minutes.

Thompson (rest) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Suns.

Thompson is expected to receive a maintenance day for the second leg of this back-to-back set. AJ Johnson has a chance to step into a sizable role with so many Mavericks expected to sit.

Martin (heel) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Suns.

Martin didn't play in the first leg of the back-to-back set Tuesday against the Clippers, and the doubtful tag suggests the veteran forward could sit out Wednesday's game as well. Martin hasn't played since March 15, and it's uncertain whether he'll suit up for any of the final games of the Mavericks' season this week.

Marshall is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Suns with a left hip contusion.

Marshall left Tuesday's game early and was unable to return after logging 20 minutes. With Marshall expected to sit this contest out, the Mavericks may rely more on Khris Middleton, Tyler Smith and AJ Johnson.

Flagg is probable for Wednesday's game against the Suns due to a left wrist sprain.

Flagg will probably be a game-time call for this contest, but the probable tag suggests the star rookie should suit up and handle his regular workload. Flagg has been outstanding for Dallas recently, averaging 26.9 points, 6.8 rebounds, 4.9 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.3 blocks per game over his last 10 contests.

Gafford (shoulder) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Suns.

Gafford is set to miss his second straight contest Wednesday. With Gafford expected to be sidelined, Dwight Powell, Marvin Bagley and Moussa Cisse are candidates to see increased run.
