Fantasy Performance by Week

Gafford notched 19 points (8-11 FG, 3-3 FT), 15 rebounds, one assist and one block in 26 minutes during Thursday's 126-119 loss to the Thunder. Gafford saw his streak of 33 consecutive made field-goal attempts come to an end in the first minute of the contest when he missed a putback attempt, but he still came through with another efficient game and delivered his second-best scoring performance since joining the Mavericks at the trade deadline in February. He also paced the Mavericks in rebounds while seeing a larger share of the minutes at center than Dereck Lively (14 minutes) and Maxi Kleber (21 minutes), the latter of whom saw more time at power forward....

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Swats seven shots Wednesday
Gafford posted 10 points (5-5 FG), six rebounds, one assist, seven blocks and two steals across 26 minutes during Wednesday's 109-99 win over Golden State. Gafford was efficient on both ends of the court, making each of his five field goal attempts, crashing the glass and helping defensively. Undoubtedly, the blocks tally stands out, and he ended just one shy of tying his career-high mark in that department. The efficiency also merits a mention, as he's now gone five straight games without missing a single field goal. He'll have a tough time extending that streak Thursday against Chet Holmgren and the Thunder.... See More ... See Less -
Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Makes history with efficiency
Gafford ended with 20 points (9-9 FG, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, two blocks, one assist and one steal across 23 minutes during Monday's 127-92 win over the Bulls. Gafford has now made 28 consecutive shots across his last four games, representing the longest streak in the play-tracking era. The streak is a testament to the high-quality, easy looks he receives in the paint, but his scoring is nonetheless a testament to his prowess as a finisher. He remains stuck in a timeshare at center with Dereck Lively when the two players are available, but there was room for both to feast Monday, as Lively finished with 22 points on 11-for-12 shooting from the field....

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Perfect from field Saturday
Gafford ended Saturday's 142-124 victory over the Pistons with 17 points (7-7 FG, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and four blocks over 24 minutes. With Dereck Lively (personal) away from the team, Gafford returned to the starting lineup and was impressive on both ends of the court Saturday, hitting each of his seven attempts from the field, showing energy on the glass and establishing himself as a disruptive presence on defense. Gafford should hold a secondary role in an offense led by Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, but he'll continue to have value if he remains efficient with his limited touches, as he'll find a way to get his numbers in the rebounding and blocking categories providing he gets enough minutes. Since completing the trade from Washington to Dallas, Gafford has averaged 9.9 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks per game while shooting an impressive 73.5 percent from the field.... See More ...

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Modest numbers in Thursday's start
Gafford totaled 12 points (5-5 FG, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds, one block and one steal over 21 minutes during Thursday's 114-108 win over the Heat. The former Wizard made his first start since Feb. 14, but the shift in roles didn't impact Gafford's minutes or production. Dereck Lively left the game in the fourth quarter with a calf injury, however, and that could have a much bigger impact on Gafford's numbers if the issue proves to be a serious one for the younger center. Over 11 games since joining the Mavericks, Gafford's averaging just 17.6 minutes a contest with 9.3 points, 7.1 boards and 1.4 blocks.... See More ... See Less -
Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Starting Wednesday versus Miami
Gafford will replace Dereck Lively in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Heat, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports. Gafford double-doubled in 21 minutes off the bench Tuesday, so things are trending in a positive direction. It's possible that his sudden uptick in minutes has been matchup based, as Dallas has been going up against more traditional frontcourts, but either way, Gafford is worth grabbing in fantasy to see how much longer the good times last....

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Growing pains on display
Gafford closed with zero points (0-1 FG), four rebounds and two steals over 13 minutes during Sunday's 120-116 loss to the 76ers. Gafford has the makings of a seamless fit with superstar pick-and-roll operators Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, but he seems to be well-covered by opposing defenses and struggling to find rhythm in coach Jason Kidd's rotations. Logging 14 minutes across the Mavericks' past two contests is too short of a leash for Gafford, making him a bounce-back candidate in what should be a high-octane affair Tuesday against Indiana....

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Posts double-double in win
Gafford produced 10 points (5-7 FG), 10 rebounds, two assists and one block over 23 minutes during Wednesday's 116-93 victory over San Antonio. Gafford was efficient from the field and needed just 23 minutes to record a double-double. Gafford is averaging 15.0 points and 12.0 rebounds per game since changing teams, and he will remain valuable in fantasy as long as he maintains his starting role -- a situation that might get tricky now that Dereck Lively is back following a nose injury....

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Shines against former team
Gafford closed with 16 points (7-13 FG, 2-3 FT), 17 rebounds, two assists, five blocks and two steals across 24 minutes during Monday's 112-104 victory over Washington. Gafford faced the Wizards for the first time since being traded, and the big man feasted against his former team, delivering a massive double-double and filling the stat sheet admirably. This was Gafford's first start with Dallas since being acquired before the deadline, and it wouldn't be surprising if he stays in this role moving forward, especially with Dereck Lively (nose) still sidelined....

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Starts in revenge game
Gafford is in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Washington, Mark Followill of Bally Sports Southwest reports. Gafford gets his first start with the Mavericks against his former team, four days after Washington traded him to Dallas. He is joined by fellow new addition P.J. Washington in the Mavericks' starting lineup Monday, with Derrick Jones and Maxi Kleber heading to the bench while Dereck Lively (nose) remains inactive.... See More ... See Less -
Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Impresses in debut
Gafford supplied 19 points (7-11 FG, 5-6 FT), nine rebounds and one block across 17 minutes during Saturday's 146-111 win over Oklahoma City. Gafford played 17 minutes off the bench, falling just one rebound short of a double-double. In his first game for the Mavericks, Gafford immediately endeared himself to the fans with his hustle and tenacity on both ends of the floor. While it remains to be seen just what his role will look like when the team is healthy, he is worth holding in all standard leagues for now.... See More ... See Less -
Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Coming off bench Saturday
Gafford isn't in the starting lineup for Saturday's game versus the Thunder, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports. Gafford will make his Mavericks debut Saturday against the Thunder. However, Gafford will likely be eased into the rotation and should serve as the backup center to Maxi Kleber, with Dereck Lively (nose) being ruled out again.... See More ... See Less -
Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Suiting up Saturday
Gafford (recently traded) is available for Saturday's game versus the Thunder, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports. Gafford was traded from the Wizards to the Mavericks on Thursday. While the 25-year-old big man sat out against the Knicks, he is set to make his Dallas debut on Saturday. With Dereck Lively (nose) out and Maxi Kleber (toe) questionable, Gafford will likely enter the starting lineup versus the Thunder.... See More ... See Less -
Wizards' Daniel Gafford: Spins up double-double in win
Gafford closed with 15 points (7-10 FG, 1-2 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist and three steals over 28 minutes during Saturday's 118-104 victory over Detroit. Some speculated that Gafford's usage would suffer with Marvin Bagley's addition to the roster, but the Arkansas product still has a firm hold on the starting job. Saturday marked Gafford's first double-double since returning from a two-game absence. With only six double-doubles this season, it's a milestone we shouldn't expect often from Gafford, whose fantasy impact is limited by the team's overall struggles.... See More ... See Less -
Wizards' Daniel Gafford: Clears concussion protocol
Gafford (concussion) is cleared to play Sunday against Denver. Gafford missed two contests due to a concussion, but he was removed from the injury report Sunday. He'll return to a Washington frontcourt featuring the offensively rejuvenating Marvin Bagley, potentially setting up a timeshare at center moving forward.... See More ... See Less -
Wizards' Daniel Gafford: Unavailable Saturday
Gafford (concussion) will not play Saturday against San Antonio. Gafford will miss his second consecutive game due to concussion protocol, allowing new acquisition Marvin Bagley to continue in a primary role. Washington closes a back-to-back set Sunday against Denver, giving Gafford a short turnaround to be cleared.... See More ... See Less -
Wizards' Daniel Gafford: Iffy against Spurs
Gafford (concussion) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus San Antonio. Gafford is in danger of missing his second straight game while in concussion protocol. If Gafford is ruled out, Marvin Bagley will likely draw another start at center.... See More ... See Less -
Wizards' Daniel Gafford: Out Thursday with concussion
Gafford has entered the concussion protocol and won't play Thursday against the Knicks, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports. Gafford had a head-on-head collision during Monday's loss to the Pistons and will miss at least one game as a result. Assuming Marvin Bagley (trade pending) is cleared to play Thursday, he could see heavy minutes right away in what would be his Washington debut.... See More ... See Less -
Wizards' Daniel Gafford: Exits early Monday with head injury
Gafford has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday's game against the Pistons with a head injury. Gafford put up eight points (4-6 FG), six rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 26 minutes before being removed from the contest. He could be sent in for concussion testing, potentially putting him at risk of missing Thursday's game against the Knicks if he's confirmed to have suffered a brain injury.... See More ... See Less -
Wizards' Daniel Gafford: Supplies six swats
Gafford chipped in 12 points (4-6 FG, 4-6 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, six blocks and two steals across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 112-104 loss to the Pacers. Gafford matched his season high with six blocked shots, continuing his breakout campaign. Despite the Wizards being one of the worst teams in the league, Gafford has swooped on the opportunity to bolster his numbers. He is by no means a consistent scorer but typically provides elite block numbers, strong rebounds and high efficiency, making him a must-roster player across all formats.... See More ... See Less

Chuck Cooperstein@coopmavs1D agoSix years ago, right around this time. Luka had that incredible dunk in Denver to give the Mavericks the lead, only for it to go for naught when Jokic hit a GW over Powell at the horn. Kyrie over Jokic was the payback for that

Chuck Cooperstein@coopmavs5D agoAmid the 33 consecutive FGs from Daniel Gafford is this courtesy of @jkubatko (You really should subscribe to his Substack. He has such cool stuff): He's the first player in NBA history to make at least five field goals without a miss in five straight games.

Mark Followill@MFollowill7D agoBookmark for future reference - Daniel Gafford is shooting 70.6% now. The only players to post a qualifying season of 70%+ on FGs are: Mitchell Robinson Wilt Chamberlain Rudy Gobert Nic Claxton DeAndre Jordan (3 times). Certainly in play for Gafford w/ 17 games left.

Mark Followill@MFollowill7D agoDaniel Gafford's made FG streak is at 28. Now easily the longest of the play-by-play era (since 96-97). Wilt Chamberlain made 35 straight FGs in Feb 1967 & I think made 32 straight in a diff stretch in 67. Some of these things from the 60s are tough to find but I'm working on it.

Mark Followill@MFollowill9D agoReally enjoyed this interview at the end of last night's game with @LesleyMcCaslin and Daniel Gafford.
