Strong showing Sunday
Gafford registered 19 points (7-11 FG, 5-7 FT), four rebounds and four assists across 27 minutes during Sunday's 137-131 win over Portland.
Analysis
Gafford was efficient from the floor and posted a strong stat line on both ends of the court. This was his first start since Nov. 12 and extended his solid run of play, as the big man has scored in double digits in 13 appearances in a row. He's averaging 14.1 points per game while shooting an impressive 75.5 percent from the floor in that span.

Starting Sunday
Gafford will start Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers, Casey Holdahl of the Trail Blazers' official site reports.
Analysis
Gafford enters the starting five due to Dereck Lively (knee) being sidelined. This marks Gafford's first start since Nov. 12 and his 12th of the season. Through 11 starts, Gafford holds averages of 12.2 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.1 blocks in 21.2 minutes per game.

Analysis
Gafford missed Wednesday's win over the Knicks due to an illness, though he will suit up Saturday barring any unexpected setbacks. Across his last five outings, the big man averaged 11.0 points, 8.2 rebounds, 1.4 blocks, 1.2 assists and 0.8 steals across 21.8 minutes per game.

Returns to practice
Gafford (illness) participated in Friday's practice, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.comreports
Analysis
Gafford missed Dallas' most recent outing due to an illness. However, the 26-year-old big man's return to practice is a good sign of his availability against Utah on Saturday.

Won't play Wednesday
Gafford (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.
Analysis
Gafford was a late addition to the injury report and will ultimately be sidelined by an illness. Dereck Lively, who left Monday's win over Atlanta early due to an illness, is available and should start at center again, while Maxi Kleber is a candidate for a few extra minutes off the bench in Gafford's absence.

Questionable for Wednesday
Gafford (illness) is questionable to face the Knicks on Wednesday.
Analysis
Gafford was a very late addition to the injury report which is not a good sign for fantasy managers. Starting center Dereck Lively is also questionable with an illness, so the Mavericks could potentially be very shorthanded in the frontcourt. If needed, the Mavericks could turn to Dwight Powell, Maxi Kleber and Markieff Morris.
