Mavericks' Klay Thompson: Iffy for Wednesday
Rotowire
Thompson is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves with a left ankle sprain.
Thompson has missed only five games this season, but the ankle sprain puts his availability for the front end of a back-to-back set in peril. If Thompson can't play Wednesday, more minutes could open up for Quentin Grimes (back) and Olivier-Maxence Prosper.

Mavericks' Klay Thompson: Leads Dallas in scoring
Rotowire
Thompson finished with 25 points (9-19 FG, 6-13 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 35 minutes during Sunday's 112-101 loss to the Nuggets.
Aside from leading the Mavericks in scoring Sunday, Thompson also managed to bounce back from an ugly showing against the Trail Blazers. This was Thompson's sixth game of the season with at least 20 points, but those have been sporadic throughout the season. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to carry the Mavs offensively even while Luka Doncic (calf) and Kyrie Irving (back) remain sidelined.

Mavericks' Klay Thompson: Struggles in win over Portland
Rotowire
Thompson supplied three points (1-6 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal across 22 minutes during Thursday's 117-111 win over the Trail Blazers.
Thompson had one of his worst performances with the Mavericks during Thursday's win against the Trail Blazers. The four-time NBA champion has been streaky this season in Dallas, and that continued against Portland, shooting 1-for-6 from the floor in 22 minutes. The veteran sharpshooter hasn't been able to capitalize on shouldering the load in the absence of fellow stars Luka Doncic (calf) and Kyrie Irving (back).

Mavericks' Klay Thompson: Efficient in defeat Wednesday
Rotowire
Thompson racked up 16 points (6-11 FG, 4-8 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and one steal across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 110-99 loss to the Rockets.
Thompson was efficient in his return to game action after missing Monday's loss to the Kings due to an illness. The sharpshooter struggled with consistency in the early part of the season, though he has found his groove of late, reaching the double-digit scoring mark in each of his last 11 appearances. Over that 11-game span, Thompson has averaged 16.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.5 steals across 27.5 minutes per contest.

Mavericks' Klay Thompson: Not listed on injury report
Rotowire
Thompson (illness) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Rockets.
Thompson was a late scratch Monday due to an illness but should return to action Wednesday. The veteran sharpshooter scored in double figures in 10 of 11 December appearances, averaging 15.4 points while shooting 47 percent from the field during that stretch.
Thompson registered 22 points (9-17 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals in 29 minutes during Thursday's 118-95 loss to the Clippers.
On the surface, Thompson delivered a solid performance since he reached the 20-point mark for the second game in a row -- and third time over his last four appearances. However, the veteran sharpshooter had a rough outing from three-point range, reverting to some of the poor numbers he had been delivering prior to showing improvement in December. He's making 42.6 percent of his treys since the beginning of December, but that figure drops to 38.3 percent when factoring in the entire 2024-25 campaign.

Mavericks' Klay Thompson: Pours in 29 points
Rotowire
Thompson totaled 29 points (9-14 FG, 7-11 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals in 29 minutes during Sunday's 143-133 win over Golden State.
Thompson posted a season-best 29 points against his former team, as well as his seven three-pointers. The Mavericks have won seven of their past eight games, but Thompson has been outside the top 100 in nine-category formats in that span with averages of 14.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 3.3 three-pointers.

Mavericks' Klay Thompson: Notches 19 points
Rotowire
Thompson notched 19 points (7-14 FG, 5-10 3Pt) and four rebounds over 28 minutes during Tuesday's 118-104 loss to the Thunder.
Thompson had a productive outing offensively, but his peripheral stats were lacking. That's been the case for most of the regular season, as he's averaging just 3.5 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.3 blocks in 27.6 minutes per contest.

Mavericks' Klay Thompson: Scores 20 points vs. Raptors
Rotowire
Thompson logged 20 points (8-16 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds and one steal over 25 minutes during Saturday's 125-118 win over Toronto.
Thompson found his shooting touch Saturday, with his 20 points eclipsing his total from his prior two outings (15). It was just the third time this season that Thompson managed to reach the 20-point mark, though he's averaging just 12.0 field-goal attempts per game as he operates as the third option behind Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving. On the season, Thompson is averaging 13.0 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.8 assists over 27.6 minutes per game.

Mavericks' Klay Thompson: Struggles in return
Rotowire
Thompson (foot) ended Tuesday's 121-116 win over Memphis with four points (1-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three assists, two rebounds and one steal over 20 minutes.
Thompson returned to action after missing four consecutive games as a result of a foot injury. Limited to just 20 minutes, Thompson struggled to get going, something that has been a recurring trend this season. Despite handling a consistent starting role, Thompson has scored more than 20 points only twice, averaging just 12.7 points per game on a career-low 37.9 percent shooting from the field. He's still knocking down 2.8 three-pointers per contest, but his lack of peripheral contributions is perhaps more noticeable than ever.

Mavericks' Klay Thompson: Limited against Memphis
Rotowire
Thompson (foot) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Grizzlies but will be restricted to around 20 minutes of action, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Thompson has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday after missing Dallas' last four contests due to left foot plantar fasciitis. Thompson is averaging 12.2 points, 3.9 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 27.6 minutes across his previous 10 appearances. While the 34-year-old forward will reclaim his starting spot from Quentin Grimes, he will likely play closer to 20 minutes against Memphis.

Thompson (foot) has been ruled out for Monday's game against Atlanta, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
Thompson will miss his first game of the 2024-25 regular season due to plantar fasciitis in his left foot.

Naji Marshall and Jaden Hardy are the top two candidates to be inserted into Monday's starting lineup due to injuries to Thompson and Quentin Grimes (illness).
