The Mavericks are without Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, opening up two spots in the starting lineup. Dinwiddie and Grimes will fill the resulting voids, making both viable streaming options. Thompson and Washington are also in line to see their fantasy values boosted, as there will be more shots to go around with Luka and Kyrie sidelined.
After not practicing on Wednesday, Doncic has been ruled out for Thursday's game. Multiple players stand to benefit regarding fantasy value, including PJ Washington, Naji Marshall, and Spencer Dinwiddie. While Washington is already rostered in most leagues, Marshall and Dinwiddie will have added value in deeper formats.
Marshall played in their last game but will be back out of the lineup after missing practice on Friday. PJ Washington will be back, so with Marshall out, Olivier Maxence-Prosper should have a small role off the bench.
Washington missed their last game with an illness, but he wasn't mentioned when Jason Kidd shared the players that will be sidelined against Golden State. Barring a late change, his return will push Quentin Grimes back to the bench.
Washington sat out Tuesday's NBA Cup quarterfinal loss to the Thunder, but he may be on track to return for Sunday's matchup with Golden State. If Washington returns, Naji Marshall could see a reduced workload.
