Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Nears double-double Monday
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.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Upgraded to available
Gafford (shoulder) is available for Monday's game against the Timberwolves.
Gafford is back from a two-game absence due to a right shoulder sprain and should force Dwight Powell to the bench Monday. Over his last six appearances, Gafford has averaged 18.0 points, 10.5 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 25.9 minutes per game while shooting a robust 78.9 percent from the field.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Probable for Monday
Gafford (shoulder) is probable to play Monday versus Minnesota.
Gafford is on track to return from a two-game absence Monday, which will likely result in Dwight Powell heading back to the second unit. In March, Gafford is averaging 15.3 points, 9.9 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 0.8 blocks per contest.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Won't play Friday
Gafford (shoulder) has been ruled out for Friday's game in Portland.
This will be Gafford's second straight game on the sidelines, and with Monday's matchup with Minnesota being the first of a back-to-back, it seems unlikely he'll be able to return for that one. Marvin Bagley and Dwight Powell will help pick up the slack while Gafford is out.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Won't play Wednesday
Gafford (shoulder) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Denver, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Gafford has been downgraded from questionable to out Wednesday. The 27-year-old center picked up a sprained right shoulder in the Mavericks' most recent game. With Gafford out of the picture Wednesday, Marvin Bagley and Dwight Powell could see more playing time. Gafford's next chance to play will come Friday at Portland.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Iffy for Wednesday
Gafford (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.
Gafford exited Monday's overtime loss to the Warriors with what the team initially called a right shoulder contusion, though he's now being listed as questionable due to a right shoulder sprain. If the big man is unable to suit up Wednesday, Marvin Bagley and Dwight Powell are candidates for expanded roles.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Departs with shoulder injury
Gafford won't return to Monday's game against the Warriors due to a right shoulder contusion. He finished with 20 points (8-8 FG, 4-8 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block in 32 minutes.
Gafford won't be available for the overtime period, which could prompt the Mavericks to lean more on Marvin Bagley or smaller lineups over the final five minutes. The Mavericks will likely provide an update on Gafford following the game, but he can be considered day-to-day heading into Wednesday's contest in Denver.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Heads to locker room
Gafford went back to the locker room during Saturday's game against the Clippers for undisclosed reasons, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
It's unclear what caused Gafford to exit the game, but it's not certain that he'll be able to return. While he's sidelined, Marvin Bagley and Dwight Powell could see an uptick in playing time.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Returns to game
Gafford has checked back into Saturday's game against the Clippers after sustaining a shoulder injury in the first half, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
Gafford went back to the locker room in the first half after tweaking his shoulder, but the 27-year-old has officially returned to the contest. His return could mean fewer opportunities for Marvin Bagley and Dwight Powell.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Moves into starting lineup
Gafford will start Saturday's game against the Clippers.
After putting up 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 is being thrown back into the first unit.

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.
