Mavericks' Brandon Williams: Probable to face Memphis
Williams (oblique) is listed as probable for Friday's Play-In Game against the Grizzlies.
Williams has been a mainstay on the injury report of late due to the left oblique strain, though he's expected to play in his fourth consecutive contest Friday. The 25-year-old was a game-time decision for Wednesday's Play-In Game win over the Kings, though he suited up and recorded 17 points (5-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and five assists across 18 minutes.

Mavericks' Klay Thompson: Drains five threes in Play-In win
Thompson accumulated 23 points (8-11 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 120-106 Play-In Game win over the Kings.
The 35-year-old has a strong showing from beyond the arc as the Mavericks kept their playoff hopes alive. Thompson has had a bumpy April, scoring in double digits in only three of six appearances while battling through an illness and a foot injury. On the month, he's averaging just 11.5 points, 2.8 threes, 2.2 boards, 1.2 assists and 0,7 steals in 24.5 minutes a contest. Dallas will probably need the healthy, productive version of Thompson to show up Friday in Memphis if the team is going to claim the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference.

Mavericks' Anthony Davis: Hits for team-high 27 in win
Davis amassed 27 points (9-23 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 120-106 Play-In Game victory over the Kings.
The 32-year-old led the Mavericks in scoring as they pushed one win closer to the playoffs. Davis has been productive when he's been on the court in April, averaging 24.8 points, 11.4 boards, 3.8 assists, 3.2 blocks and 1.4 threes in five appearances, and he'll likely need to come up big again Friday in Memphis if Dallas is going to claim the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference.

Mavericks' Kyrie Irving: Aiming to be back by January
The Mavericks are optimistic that Irving (knee) could return by the start of January, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Irving tore his left ACL in early March and underwent surgery on the injury. While he's still expected to miss a significant chunk of the 2025-2026 campaign, there's optimism he could be back on the court before the calendar flips to 2026. Of course, it's very early in his recovery, and he'll have to avoid setbacks throughout the summer and fall in order to remain on schedule. However, Charania's report is a good sign for Irving's fantasy value next season.

Mavericks' Brandon Williams: Game-time call Wednesday
Williams (oblique) will be a game-time decision for Wednesday's Play-In game against the Kings, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Williams strained his left oblique during the Mavericks' regular-season finale and is at risk of missing Wednesday's contest. Dallas will likely see how Williams' oblique reacts to pregame warmups before deciding on his availability. If Williams can't go, Jaden Hardy could see more action.
