Gafford is out for Saturday's game against the Jazz with a sprained right ankle, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Won't play Thursday
Gafford (ankle) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Jazz.
Gafford will hit the sidelines for the second leg of a back-to-back, and for now, he should be considered questionable for Saturday's rematch with Utah. Dwight Powell will have the opportunity to start with Gafford unavailable, and Moussa Cisse could see an uptick in minutes.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Won't return Wednesday
Gafford has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against Denver due to a right ankle sprain.
Gafford missed Dallas' most recent game due to the same injury, and he seemingly aggravated the issue Wednesday. He logged six points (2-2 FG, 2-4 FT) and 10 rebounds across 18 minutes before exiting. Gafford's absence will likely mean more opportunities for Dwight Powell. Gafford's next chance to play will come Thursday against Utah.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Not on injury report
Gafford (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against Denver.
Gafford will return from a one-game absence due to a sprained right ankle. The 27-year-old will likely take his spot in the starting lineup back from Dwight Powell. In 19 starts this season, Gafford is averaging 9.2 points, 7.0 rebounds and 1.5 blocks across 23.1 minutes.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Out with ankle sprain
Gafford won't play in Monday's game against the Nets due to a sprained right ankle, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
The Mavericks made Gafford a late addition to the injury report, which was an omen that his status was in serious jeopardy Monday. Dallas is now down its top three big men, with Anthony Davis (finger) and Dereck Lively (foot) out, which leaves the team with Moussa Cisse (shoulder), who's likely to play, and Dwight Powell to split the minutes at center.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Questionable for Monday
Gafford (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Nets.
Gafford was a late addition to the injury report, and that's usually a bad sign in fantasy hoops. If Gafford is unable to give it a go, the Mavericks could lean heavily on Moussa Cisse (shoulder).

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Modest production in start
Gafford ended with six points (2-6 FG, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds and one block across 25 minutes during Saturday's 125-107 loss to Chicago.
Gafford started at center, a role he is likely to fill for the foreseeable future. However, that's really where the good news ends, as he finished with yet another underwhelming fantasy line. While he should probably be considered a must-roster player, he is certainly not going to be suitable for everyone. Moussa Cisse was a far better option in this one, logging 19 minutes off the bench. If Dallas opts to pack things in for the season at some point, it's possible Cisse moves ahead of Gafford.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Double-doubles in win
Gafford provided 10 points (5-8 FG), 13 rebounds, one block and one steal across 22 minutes during Tuesday's 100-98 win over the Kings.
This was Gafford's third double-double of the season, and his second over the past four games. He's been playing well over that four-game stretch, posting averages of 11.0 points, 9.0 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.5 blocks per contest.

Gafford is in the Mavericks' starting lineup against the Rockets on Saturday, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.
Gafford will start for the third time in four games Saturday, replacing Ryan Nembhard in the starting lineup to join Cooper Flagg and Anthony Davis in the frontcourt. Gafford has averaged 12.0 points, 7.3 rebounds, 1.3 blocks and 1.3 steals over 20.0 minutes per game over his last three outings.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Not starting vs. Philadelphia

With Anthony Davis (adductor) back in the lineup, Gafford will slide to the second unit. Over his last five games off the bench, the 27-year-old center has averaged 4.8 points, 4.6 rebounds and 1.6 blocks in 15.2 minutes per tilt.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Returns Monday
Gafford (undisclosed) returned to Monday's game against the Trail Blazers with 6:03 remaining in the fourth quarter, per the broadcast.
Gafford briefly exited to the locker room earlier in the quarter but returned to the bench shortly thereafter. He appears to be good to go for the remainder of the game after checking back in.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Walks to locker room
Gafford went to the locker room during the fourth quarter of Monday's game against the Trail Blazers with an undisclosed injury, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
Gafford checked out of the game with 9:08 remaining in the fourth and walked right past the bench and down the tunnel. It's unclear as to what might be ailing him, so he can be considered questionable to return until the team provides an update.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Serviceable in start
Gafford notched 11 points (5-7 FG, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 23 minutes during Saturday's 113-107 loss to Sacramento.
Gafford moved into the starting lineup, replacing Anthony Davis, who was ultimately ruled out due to a groin injury. Gafford was able to log at least 20 minutes for the first time in his past nine games, providing serviceable production on both ends of the floor. Until Davis is given the green light to return, Gafford is worth considering as a short-term addition, even in standard nine-category leagues.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Starting sans Davis
Gafford will start against the Kings on Saturday, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.
With Anthony Davis (adductor) sidelined, Gafford will step back into a starting role. In 13 starts so far this season, the big man has averaged 9.4 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.6 blocks, 1.5 assists and 1.0 steals in 23.0 minutes per tilt.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Muted effort Thursday
Gafford supplied six points (3-3 FG) and five rebounds across 15 minutes during Thursday's 126-116 loss to Golden State.
Gafford hasn't cracked the 20-minute mark since the Nov. 24 loss in Miami, but he could see a rise in playing time with Anthony Davis (groin) likely to miss some time. Gafford has averaged 4.0 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.3 blocks in 14.8 minutes per contest over his last seven games.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Coming off bench Thursday
Gafford is not in the Mavericks' starting lineup against the Pistons on Thursday.
Gafford will come off the bench for Thursday's tilt due to the return of Anthony Davis (calf) from a one-game absence. Gafford started in Monday's loss to the Jazz, though he played just 13 minutes and finished with two points (1-1 FG), two rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Plagued by foul trouble in return
Gafford (ankle) tallied two points (1-1 FG), two rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block across 13 minutes in Monday's 140-133 overtime loss to the Jazz.
Gafford took back his spot in the starting five after missing Dallas' previous three games due to right ankle injury management, but his playing time was kept in check while he played for just the second time in two weeks. Foul trouble may have been a factor in Gafford's limited minutes, as he had already racked up three personals just over two minutes into the second quarter before hitting the bench for the remainder of the period. He then played brief shifts at the beginning of the third and fourth quarters before the Mavericks went with Dwight Powell at center in overtime. Gafford should generally see his minutes pick up once he's further removed from the injury and when he's not plagued by fouls, though his playing time could still be somewhat volatile depending on matchups, especially when the Mavericks also have Anthony Davis (calf) available as an alternative at center.
