Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Puts up 24 points off bench
Gafford recorded 24 points (9-10 FG, 6-7 FT), eight rebounds and one block in 22 minutes during Wednesday's 135-120 loss to the Hawks.
Gafford was an unsolvable problem for the Hawks' interior defense, and despite not starting, the big man led Dallas in scoring while missing just one of his 10 shots from the floor. Gafford was making his return to the lineup after a three-game absence due to an illness, and if he puts up more of these types of performances, it'd be extremely hard to leave him out of your lineup in most formats even if he doesn't start regularly.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Not starting Wednesday
Gafford is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Hawks.
Gafford will come off the bench in his return from a three-game absence, so Marvin Bagley's minutes figure to take a dip and Dwight Powell could drop from the rotation entirely. As a reserve this season, Gafford owns averages of 4.8 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per contest.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Available to play
Gafford (illness) is available for Wednesday's game against the Hawks, Lauren L. Williams of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Gafford is back after a three-game layoff, which will likely result in Ryan Nembhard, Naji Marshall or P.J. Washington heading back to the second unit. There will also be fewer minutes available for Marvin Bagley with Gafford active.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Iffy for Wednesday
Gafford (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.
Gafford is in danger of missing a fourth consecutive matchup due to illness, but the fact that he's been upgraded to questionable is a sign he's trending in the right direction. He'll likely need to see how he feels during shootaround and warmups before the Mavericks provide another update on his availability.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Downgraded to out
Gafford (illness) won't play Monday night against New Orleans.
As expected, an illness will keep Gafford from suiting up Monday evening. Marvin Bagley is one candidate to see more action in Gafford's absence, though Ryan Nembhard could also factor into the mix if the Mavs decide to deploy a smaller first unit, which they did during Gafford's absence Sunday in Cleveland.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Doubtful for Monday
Gafford (illness) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Pelicans.
After resting Friday against Cleveland, which was the second night of a back-to-back set, Gafford was expected to return to action for Sunday's rematch versus the Cavaliers, but he missed that contest due to an illness. The veteran center remains under the weather and is expected to miss the second half of Dallas' back-to-back set, which should allow Marvin Bagley to see an increased role. However, the Mavericks started a small lineup Sunday, with Cooper Flagg, Naji Marshall and P.J. Washington in the frontcourt.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Downgraded to out
Gafford (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.
As expected, Gafford has been downgraded from doubtful to out and will miss a second consecutive game. His absence Friday came during the second night of a back-to-back set, but now the big man is under the weather. His status for Monday's game in New Orleans is also in jeopardy. Marvin Bagley should continue to handle an increased role until Gafford is cleared to suit up again.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Carrying doubtful tag
Gafford (illness) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.
Gafford didn't play Friday against the Cavaliers due to rest, and the doubtful tag suggests the big man isn't expected to be available Sunday as well. Gafford has started every game he's been available for since Jan. 28, averaging 11.2 points, 7.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists per contest during that span. If he's out, look for Marvin Bagley to remain in the starting lineup.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Ruled out Friday
Gafford (rest) is out for Friday's game against the Cavaliers, Ron Harrod Jr. of DLLS Sports reports.
Gafford will take his standard maintenance day on the second leg of a back-to-back set, which should result in Marvin Bagley moving into the first unit. Gafford will likely return for Sunday's rematch in Cleveland.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Doubtful for Friday
Gafford (rest) is listed doubtful for Friday's game against the Cavaliers.
The Mavericks are preparing to hold Gafford out for the second leg of a back-to-back set for injury maintenance. Gafford was terrific in Thursday's win over Memphis, finishing with 22 points (9-12 FG, 4-7 FT), 14 rebounds, one assist and one block in 27 minutes. Assuming Gafford ends up being ruled out in advance of the 7:30 p.m. ET tipoff, backup Marvin Bagley will likely be in line for a slight bump in playing time, and Dwight Powell should re-enter the Dallas rotation.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Double-doubles in win
Gafford contributed 22 points (9-12 FG, 4-7 FT), 14 rebounds, one assist and one block in 27 minutes during Thursday's 120-112 win over Memphis.
Gafford has double-doubled in four straight appearances and scored at least 20 points in two of his past three games. While the veteran big man has been productive, he hasn't played more than 30 minutes since Feb. 5, and he continues to sit out at least one half of back-to-back sets. He could be on the sidelines Friday against Cleveland, but Dallas hasn't released an injury report yet.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Scores 21 points without missing
Gafford accumulated 21 points (10-10 FG, 1-1 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and one block in 23 minutes during Sunday's 122-92 loss to the Raptors.
This was Gafford's second straight double-double and his eighth of the season. He set a new season high in points and did so without missing a single shot, but the result was yet another loss for the Mavericks. Dallas has now lost seven straight and dropped 17 of its past 19 games overall.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Off injury report
Gafford (ankle) isn't listed on the injury report for Sunday's game against Toronto.
Gafford sat out Friday's loss to Boston -- the second leg of a back-to-back set -- due to right ankle injury management. However, the big man is set to return to action Sunday. He has averaged 10.6 points, 7.0 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.2 blocks in 21.2 minutes per contest over his last five appearances.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Ruled out for Friday
Gafford (ankle) is out for Friday's game in Boston.
Gafford will hit the sidelines for the second leg of this back-to-back set, and with Marvin Bagley (neck) also unavailable, Dwight Powell and Moussa Cisse should be logging major minutes. Fantasy managers can expect Gafford to have a solid chance of returning for Sunday's game in Toronto.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Doubtful Friday
Gafford (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Celtics.
After posting 12 points (5-6 FG, 2-4 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 25 minutes during Thursday's 115-114 loss to the Magic, Gafford is expected to miss the second half of Dallas' back-to-back set as he continues to manage a lingering right ankle injury. The Mavericks' frontcourt will be significantly shorthanded for the matchup against Boston, as Marvin Bagley (neck) is also listed as doubtful. If both big men are ruled out as expected, P.J. Washington and Dwight Powell would be the primary candidates to see expanded minutes at center.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Posts efficient double-double
Gafford amassed 12 points (5-6 FG, 2-4 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 25 minutes during Thursday's 115-114 loss to the Magic.
Gafford missed just one shot from the field and secured his first double-double since Feb. 5. He was also involved as a rim protector, accounting for two of his team's nine swats on the night. Gafford is averaging 11.0 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 blocks over his last four outings.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Solid in limited run
Gafford accumulated 10 points (5-8 FG), six rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 22 minutes during Tuesday's 117-90 loss to the Hornets.
Gafford put together a solid outing, but he continues to have his minutes dialed back. Over his last 11 games, he's averaging 22.4 minutes per contest with 8.9 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.5 blocks. There's been no indication that his minutes will trend up.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Cleared from injury report
Gafford (ankle) is off the injury report for Friday's game against the Grizzlies.
With Marvin Bagley (neck) out, Gafford could push for minutes near the 30s at center. Gafford has averaged 8.7 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.4 blocks in 23.7 minutes per contest in his last 10 games, shooting 61.8 percent from the field.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Ruled out Thursday
Gafford is out for Thursday's game against the Kings due to right ankle injury management, per Ron Harrod Jr. of DLLS Sports.
It's possible the Mavericks have an eye toward Gafford suiting up Friday against Memphis. Marvin Bagley is the most likely candidate to replace Gafford in the starting lineup and makes sense as a plug-and-play fantasy option Thursday.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Unlikely to play Thursday
Gafford (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Kings.
It appears as though Gafford will sit out of the front end of the Mavericks' back-to-back set while managing a right ankle injury, but he should be available to play against the Grizzlies on Friday. Marvin Bagley figures to step into the starting center spot if Gafford is ruled out for Thursday's contest.
