D'Angelo Russell

Russell (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game in Utah.

Added to the Mavericks' injury report on Friday afternoon, Russell will not be available for the matchup with the Nets. His absence does not change much from a fantasy standpoint, as Ryan Nembhard and Brandon Williams were ahead of D'Lo in the pecking order.

D'Lo is a late addition to the injury report, which doesn't bode well for his chances of taking the court on Friday. He has averaged just 15.5 minutes across his last four outings, and if he is unable to go, Ryan Nembhard and Brandon Williams would presumably absorb his vacated minutes.

Thompson is available after sitting out Saturday's win over the Rockets with a sore knee. His return likely means fewer minutes for D'Angelo Russell and Jaden Hardy, with the latter possibly falling out of the rotation entirely. Thompson is mainly an option for deep-league managers needing three-pointers.

In the five games he played after being moved out of the starting lineup, Williams averaged 8.6 points while shooting 32.6 percent from the field. He had no such issues on Saturday, with the 20 points the most the Mavericks guard has scored in a game since October 29. Saturday's performance won't be enough to get Williams back on the radar in most fantasy leagues, as Ryan Nembhard continues to start. But he is worth keeping an eye on, as Williams appears to be locked into the backup role ahead of D'Angelo Russell.
