Dallas Mavericks vs. Charlotte Hornets Game Preview

Bulls head coach Billy Donovan said after Sunday's 113-102 loss to the Trail Blazers that White was held out for the final 4:12 of the contest due to a sore ankle, K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Reaves checked out of Sunday's 116-102 loss to the Clippers with 3:40 remaining in the fourth quarter after banging knees with another player, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports. He said after the game that he expects to play in the Lakers' next contest Tuesday versus the Wizards.

The West is deep this season and quality players are going to get snubbed. I say Luka Doncic should be one of them.

During an up-and-down season with trade deadline questions abounding, the Warriors still believe they have what it takes to regain championship-level momentum.

LeBron James and JJ Redick understand the Lakers have very little room for error if they're going to break out of "stuck" mode moving forward.

Kawhi Leonard had one of his best games since returning from a knee injury, scoring 19 points in limited minutes during the Clippers' win over the Lakers.

Under the new format there will be four coaches, one will be Daigneault and one spot will belong to one of his assistants.

Leonard is out for Monday's game against the Bulls due to rest, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Initially available for Monday's game, Sexton will get the night off instead. Utah will also be without Lauri Markkanen, John Collins, and Jordan Clarkson, meaning fantasy managers will see a lot of the team's younger players. Isaiah Collier is the one who benefits most from Sexton's absence, and the rookie point guard is worth streaming. In addition to having added value on Monday, Collier has the potential to be a "silly season" standout.

With Joel Embiid (foot) and Paul George (groin) both out Sunday, it was no surprise that Maxey took it upon himself to lead the 76ers' offense. Maxey had 37 points on 28 shots including going 6-of-15 from behind the 3-point line. The 24-year-old point guard probably would've been better off driving the lane or creating offense for others than continuing to hoist 3-pointers. In the end, the Sixers ended up losing by 14, though Maxey was just -5 in 41 minutes.

Middleton continues to play just 20-25 minutes off the bench, but he makes an impact while he's out there. The 33-year-old small forward has had at least 13 points and five assists in each of his last four games. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, it's unclear if Middleton will move into the starting lineup and see more playing time soon.

Lillard now has at least 25 points in six of his last eight games. The 34-year-old point guard didn't have his best game Sunday with 25 points on 17 shots including going 4-of-11 from behind the 3-point line. Lillard was still able to pad his scoring total by getting to the foul line and making all seven of his free throw attempts. He's bounced back from a slow start to provide top-10 fantasy value on the season.

Giannis was just four assists shy of a triple-double in the 14-point victory over the 76ers. The 30-year-old power forward was highly efficient from the field as he made 13-of-17 field goals. The Greek Freak actually missed more free throws as he was just 8-of-14 from the foul line. The Bucks have three games next week, starting with the Pelicans Wednesday.

Sexton won't play Monday against the Pelicans due to rest purposes, Ben Anderson of KSL News Salt Lake City reports.

Oklahoma City Thunder coach Mark Daigneault will lead one of the four teams at the All-Star Game next month in San Francisco.

Due to Ben Simmons (illness) being a late scratch, Russell was a late addition to the starting lineup. He's still under a minutes restriction, so the Nets point guard's minutes would be limited even if Sunday's game were competitive. With Brooklyn's three-game Week 13 slate including a back-to-back, Russell could be limited to two appearances, which would not do fantasy managers any favors. His availability impacts Keon Johnson, who finished Sunday's loss with six points, one rebound, and four assists in 23 minutes off the bench.
