Downgraded to out
Gafford (illness) won't play Monday night against New Orleans.
Análisis
As expected, an illness will keep Gafford from suiting up Monday evening. Marvin Bagley is one candidate to see more action in Gafford's absence, though Ryan Nembhard could also factor into the mix if the Mavs decide to deploy a smaller first unit, which they did during Gafford's absence Sunday in Cleveland.

Doubtful for Monday
Gafford (illness) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Pelicans.
Análisis
After resting Friday against Cleveland, which was the second night of a back-to-back set, Gafford was expected to return to action for Sunday's rematch versus the Cavaliers, but he missed that contest due to an illness. The veteran center remains under the weather and is expected to miss the second half of Dallas' back-to-back set, which should allow Marvin Bagley to see an increased role. However, the Mavericks started a small lineup Sunday, with Cooper Flagg, Naji Marshall and P.J. Washington in the frontcourt.

Downgraded to out
Gafford (illness) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.
Análisis
As expected, Gafford has been downgraded from doubtful to out and will miss a second consecutive game. His absence Friday came during the second night of a back-to-back set, but now the big man is under the weather. His status for Monday's game in New Orleans is also in jeopardy. Marvin Bagley should continue to handle an increased role until Gafford is cleared to suit up again.

Carrying doubtful tag
Gafford (illness) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Cavaliers.
Análisis
Gafford didn't play Friday against the Cavaliers due to rest, and the doubtful tag suggests the big man isn't expected to be available Sunday as well. Gafford has started every game he's been available for since Jan. 28, averaging 11.2 points, 7.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists per contest during that span. If he's out, look for Marvin Bagley to remain in the starting lineup.

Ruled out Friday
Gafford (rest) is out for Friday's game against the Cavaliers, Ron Harrod Jr. of DLLS Sports reports.
Análisis
Gafford will take his standard maintenance day on the second leg of a back-to-back set, which should result in Marvin Bagley moving into the first unit. Gafford will likely return for Sunday's rematch in Cleveland.

Doubtful for Friday
Gafford (rest) is listed doubtful for Friday's game against the Cavaliers.
Análisis
The Mavericks are preparing to hold Gafford out for the second leg of a back-to-back set for injury maintenance. Gafford was terrific in Thursday's win over Memphis, finishing with 22 points (9-12 FG, 4-7 FT), 14 rebounds, one assist and one block in 27 minutes. Assuming Gafford ends up being ruled out in advance of the 7:30 p.m. ET tipoff, backup Marvin Bagley will likely be in line for a slight bump in playing time, and Dwight Powell should re-enter the Dallas rotation.

Double-doubles in win
Gafford contributed 22 points (9-12 FG, 4-7 FT), 14 rebounds, one assist and one block in 27 minutes during Thursday's 120-112 win over Memphis.
Análisis
Gafford has double-doubled in four straight appearances and scored at least 20 points in two of his past three games. While the veteran big man has been productive, he hasn't played more than 30 minutes since Feb. 5, and he continues to sit out at least one half of back-to-back sets. He could be on the sidelines Friday against Cleveland, but Dallas hasn't released an injury report yet.
