Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Won't return due to shoulder issue
Rotowire
Gafford has been ruled out for the remainder of Tuesday's game against Milwaukee due to a right shoulder stinger. He'll finish with seven points (2-6 FG, 3-6 FT), four rebounds and one block across 11 minutes.
Gafford looked to be in significant discomfort as he made his way to the locker room, and the team announced shortly thereafter that he'll be shut down for the rest of the night. Dwight Powell and Moussa Cisse should see an uptick in minutes in Gafford's absence.

Rotowire
Gafford exited to the locker room during the second quarter of Tuesday's game against the Bucks after appearing to suffer a right arm injury, Eddie Sefko of the Mavericks' official site reports.
Gafford suffered the injury on a block attempt, and he wasn't able to move his right arm on his way off the court. He can be considered questionable to return until the Mavs have an official diagnosis for the big man.

Mavericks' Klay Thompson: Resting Tuesday
Rotowire
Thompson (rest) won't play Tuesday against the Bucks.

Mavericks' Cooper Flagg: Scores 12 points on 19 shots
Rotowire
Flagg ended Monday's 124-94 loss to Minnesota with 12 points (5-19 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 31 minutes.
Flagg was coming off a 24-point performance in the win over the Trail Blazers on Friday, but he took a huge step back on offense with a subpar shooting effort. The rookie out of Duke failed to reach the 15-point mark for the first time since March 12, and that goes to show just how consistent he's been on offense for a struggling Dallas team. He remains one of the odds-on favorites for the Rookie of the Year award, although he's in a tight race with Kon Knueppel for those honors.

Mavericks' Brandon Williams: Stuffs stat sheet in loss
Rotowire
Williams accumulated 15 points (4-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, seven assists and two steals over 28 minutes during Monday's 124-94 loss to the Timberwolves.
Williams has been a steady contributor off the bench for the Mavericks, and he's scored in double digits in all but one of his 17 appearances since the All-Star break. The bench role limits his upside a bit, but Williams can fill the stat sheet every time he steps on the hardwood, so he's a valuable option to target in most formats if he's available.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Nears double-double Monday
Rotowire
Gafford ended with 21 points (9-11 FG, 3-8 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one block across 24 minutes during Monday's 124-94 loss to the Timberwolves.
Gafford was nearly perfect from the floor, but he would've had an even better scoring performance had he been more accurate from the charity stripe. Gafford looked impressive in his return from a two-game absence, and given that he's scored at least 20 points in three of his last four appearances, he should remain a reliable fantasy asset in the final two weeks of the regular season.
Powell isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Minnesota.
Powell started his squad's last two matchups but failed to do much with the opportunity. He'll return to a bench role Monday with Daniel Gafford set to return from a right shoulder sprain.
