Tyler

Smith

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.

Martin last appeared in a game on March 15. His absence has recently freed up rotation minutes for Tyler Smith, who has not been productive enough to impact active fantasy leagues.

Martin has not appeared in a game since March 15, and that’s unlikely to change on Friday. Tyler Smith has played rotation minutes recently, but he has not been productive enough to merit rostering in any active fantasy leagues.

Martin remains out for another game, which frees up minutes for players like Tyler Smith. Smith is unlikely to do enough to provide reliable value in active fantasy leagues.

Dallas will be missing a number of key players, which should pave the way for Khris Middleton to see more playing time. Dallas could also give more minutes to Tyler Smith and John Poulakidas.

Washington’s sore left elbow will keep him out of Tuesday’s game. While Klay Thompson and Khris Middleton are available, so is two-way player Tyler Smith, who’s likely to move into the rotation with Daniel Gafford also out.

Smith is good to go after playing six minutes in Friday’s loss to the Magic. He may get to play a few more minutes on Sunday, but there’s no need for fantasy managers to stream Smith.

Smith, who played six minutes in Friday’s loss to the Magic, is on the injury report due to back spasms. His availability does not affect fantasy basketball or the Mavericks’ rotation, especially with Marvin Bagley III likely returning from a shoulder injury that sidelined him for three games.

Bagley won’t have a chance on Monday to follow his 26-point, nine-rebound showing against the Trail Blazers. Instead, Dwight Powell and Tyler Smith could log heavy minutes in the frontcourt for the Mavs when facing the Wolves. Neither player should be considered in fantasy leagues for streaming purposes.

The 33rd overall pick of the Bucks in the 2024 draft, Smith is back in the NBA after appearing in 19 games for the G League’s Rio Grande Valley Vipers this season. Adding him to the roster gives Dallas a little more depth in the frontcourt, although this move is not likely to affect fantasy basketball. To free up a two-way slot for Smith, the Mavericks have waived Miles Kelly.
