Rotoworld Player News

Klay Thompson

DAL Guard #31

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Klay Thompson amassed 12 points (4-of-10 FGs), one assist, one steal and four three-pointers in Sunday’s win over the Bulls.

Thompson played just over 10 minutes in Sunday’s season finale, and that was enough time for him to add another accomplishment to his career résumé. With his four three-pointers, the veteran sharpshooter finished with 202 on the season. Thompson has 11 seasons with at least 200 three-pointers; only Stephen Curry (13) has more. Klay is under contract for the 2026-27 season, but the days of him being a must-roster player in fantasy leagues are in the rear-view mirror.
Moussa Cisse

DAL Center #45

Moussa Cissé tallied 17 points (6-of-15 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), 20 rebounds, one assist, two steals and two blocks in Sunday’s win over the Bulls.

As a two-way player, Cissé’s opportunities this season were somewhat limited. However, he got another extended opportunity on Sunday and finished with season-highs in points and rebounds. Add in the defensive stats, and this was an excellent stat line for fantasy managers whose leagues were active on Sunday. Cissé’s fantasy outlook for 2026-27 depends on whether he can secure a standard contract.
John Poulakidas

DAL Guard #1

John Poulakidis accounted for 28 points (9-of-18 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), two rebounds, four assists, one steal, one block and eight three-pointers in Sunday’s win over the Bulls.

The Mavericks’ rookies put on a show in Sunday’s season finale, and that doesn’t include Cooper Flagg, who left during the first half with a sprained ankle. Poulakidis put on a shooting exhibition, making eight of his 16 three-point attempts. And the rookie guard was at his best in the third quarter, scoring 22 points. Poulakidis is on a two-way contract, so he’ll have some work to do to lock down a consistent role. But the Mavericks should be encouraged by his finish to the season.
Ryan Nembhard

DAL Guard #9

Ryan Nembhard finished Sunday’s win over the Bulls with 15 points (6-of-11 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), nine rebounds, 23 assists, two steals and one three-pointer.

While Nembhard failed to grab that elusive tenth rebound, he did make some franchise history in Sunday’s season finale. His 23 assists were a single-game franchise rookie record and two shy of the league record. Add in an efficient night shooting the basketball, and this was an excellent finish to the season for Nembhard. While he played well enough to earn a standard contract, the expected return of Kyrie Irving limits Nembhard’s fantasy value in 2026-27, in both redraft and dynasty leagues.
Cooper Flagg

DAL Forward #32

Cooper Flagg (ankle) will not return to Sunday’s game against the Bulls.

Flagg sprained his left ankle early in the second quarter of Sunday’s regular-season finale. With nothing to play for, the rookie’s debut campaign has come to a disappointing end. Thanks to a late-season flourish, Flagg is the betting favorite to win Rookie of the Year honors, with college teammate Kon Knueppel also in the mix. Flagg lived up to his fourth-round ADP, and he’s likely to go earlier in drafts next fall.
Caleb Martin

DAL Forward #16

Caleb Martin (foot) and Brandon Williams (illness) are out for Sunday’s game against the Bulls.

Martin and Williams will remain out for the Mavericks’ final game of the season. Due to injuries and the inability to carve out a consistent role when healthy, neither player did enough to land on fantasy managers’ radars for the 2026-27 season.
Daniel Gafford

DAL Forward-Center #21

Daniel Gafford (rest) and Marvin Bagley III (shoulder) have been ruled out against the Bulls on Sunday.

Both bigs were initially doubtful for this game, and they have now officially been ruled out. Moussa Cissé and Dwight Powell should fill the minutes at center for the season finale. Gafford’s fantasy value in 2026-27 probably depends a lot on how healthy Dereck Lively is, but he has a chance to produce if given a path to major playing time.
P.J. Washington

DAL Forward #25

P.J. Washington (elbow) is out for Sunday’s game against the Bulls.

Counting Sunday, Washington missed four straight and seven of the Mavericks’ final eight games of the season. The veteran forward appeared in 56 games, averaging 14.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.0 steals, 1.1 blocks and 1.4 three-pointers. Washington has averaged at least one steal and one blocked shot in each of his two full seasons with the Mavericks. Somehow under contract through 2029-30, Washington will remain a key cog in Dallas’ rotation but has essentially settled in as a fringe fantasy starter.
Naji Marshall

DAL Forward #13

Naji Marshall (hip) is out for Sunday’s game against the Bulls.

Marshall’s 2025-26 season has come to a disappointing end, as he missed the Mavericks’ final three games. The forward made 74 appearances this season, averaging 15.2 points, 4.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.1 steals per game, which were all career-highs. He’s under contract for 2026-27 at $9.4 million and should remain a nice reserve for the Mavericks with occasional fantasy value when injuries hit.
P.J. Washington

DAL Forward #25

P.J. Washington (elbow) and Naji Marshall (hip) are questionable for Sunday’s game against the Bulls.

Washington and Marshall are poised to finish the 2025-26 season on the bench, as both players are doubtful for Sunday’s finale. The former has missed the Mavericks’ last three games, and the latter the last two. John Poulakidis and Tyler Smith have played rotation minutes in recent games, with the former logging 30 minutes in Friday’s loss to the Spurs.
