Ryan Nembhard, Max Christie, Cooper Flagg, P.J. Washington and Daniel Gafford will start Saturday’s game against the Kings.
Saturday’s game is the first for the Mavericks since losing Anthony Davis to a minor groin strain. Gafford moves back into the starting lineup, but his fantasy ceiling will only be affected if he’s able to play more minutes. As a starter, he has averaged 23.1 minutes per game. Moussa Cissé and Dwight Powell will be available to fill out the rotation at the center position. Also of note is Christie moving into the starting lineup, with Naji Marshall being pushed to the bench.
