NBC SportsP.J. Washington (ankle) is questionable for Friday's game against the Thunder.

Washington has missed Dallas' last three games with a sprained right ankle, resulting in Naji Marshall being moved into the starting lineup. That would remain the case if Washington misses a fourth straight, and Marshall is worth rostering in deep leagues.

NBC SportsP.J. Washington (ankle) is out for Wednesday's game against the Heat.

Washington will miss a third straight game after spraining his right ankle ahead of Saturday's win over the Clippers. Naji Marshall has been the replacement in the starting lineup, which has raised his fantasy ceiling. At a minimum, he should already be rostered in 14-team leagues. If not, pick him up.

NBC SportsDaniel Gafford (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Heat.

Gafford is available after a two-game absence, giving the Mavericks a welcome infusion of depth in the frontcourt. He may start alongside Anthony Davis, which would shift AD to the four. If so, Naji Marshall could be the odd man out after filling in for P.J. Washington the last two games. However, Gafford's playing time will be limited, so he's more likely to come off the bench.

NBC SportsAnthony Davis (calf) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Heat.

Davis is expected to be re-evaluated early this upcoming week, so a return could occur soon. However, that isn't guaranteed. The doubtful tag for Monday suggests he won't be available to play against the Heat. With Davis out, P.J. Washington and Naji Marshall are worth a look in deeper fantasy leagues and some standard leagues as well.

NBC SportsCaleb Martin (illness) is available for Friday's game against the Pelicans.

Martin did not play in Wednesday's loss to the Knicks, which factored into fellow reserve Naji Marshall logging 34 minutes. Martin hasn't done enough to be rostered in fantasy leagues, but he may siphon a few minutes away from the more impactful Marshall.
