Dallas Mavericks forward/center Anthony Davis (adductor) is available to play on Wednesday against the Lakers. AD has frequented the injury report often this season because of a left adductor strain.

Mon Mar 31 | 19:07 | Anthony Davis To Remain On Minutes Restriction Monday |
Dallas Mavericks forward/center Anthony Davis (adductor) has been cleared to play in Monday's contest against the Brooklyn Nets, but his minutes will continue to be monitored. The plan is to use Davis for 25 to 28 minutes. Over his previous three games since returning from injury, Davis has averaged 28.3 minutes a night, posting 15.0 points, 6.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 1.0 blocks, and 1.0 steals. Although the minutes restriction limits Davis' fantasy potential, it's great to see him back on the court, and he could still do serious damage against Brooklyn's weak defense. |

Sat Mar 29 | 19:14 | Anthony Davis Available On Saturday Night |
Dallas Mavericks forward/center Anthony Davis (adductor) will play on Saturday against the Bulls. Fantasy managers will likely see him on the injury report for the remainder of the regular season and into the playoffs/Play-In, assuming Dallas makes it that far. But at least fantasy managers will know they'll have him in the lineup on Saturday night. Davis struggled in Thursday's win over the Orlando Magic, amassing 15 points while shooting a rough 5-for-19 from the field. Fortunately, there's a good chance AD will turn it around versus the Bulls, a team that has allowed 119.7 points per contest this season, the third-worst average in the National Basketball Association. |

Thu Mar 27 | 18:19 | Anthony Davis To Be Restricted To 24-28 Minutes Thursday |
Dallas Mavericks forward/center Anthony Davis (adductor) will return to action on Thursday against the Orlando Magic but will have a minutes restriction. Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd told reporters pregame that Davis will be limited to 24-28 minutes. When Davis ended an 18-game absence on Monday against the Brooklyn Nets, he played 27 minutes and recorded 12 points with six rebounds and three assists. The 10-time All-Star can certainly do damage with fewer than 30 minutes on the court, but Davis will not deliver full value to fantasy managers against the Magic. |

Wed Mar 26 | 17:51 | Anthony Davis Questionable For Thursday Night |
Dallas Mavericks forward/center Anthony Davis (adductor) is questionable for Thursday's meeting with the Orlando Magic. AD recently returned to the lineup for Monday's win over Brooklyn after spending time on the shelf because of a strained adductor. He played well despite being limited to only 26 minutes, ending the night with 12 points, six rebounds, one steal, and one block. As expected, Davis sat out the following night in the loss to the Knicks, opening the door for Kai Jones to enter the starting lineup and finish with nine points, eight rebounds, one steal, and one block. If Davis is ruled out again, fantasy managers should expect to see Jones back with the first five, increasing his fantasy upside for managers. |

Mon Mar 24 | 18:44 | Anthony Davis On Minute Restriction In Return Monday |
Tim Bontemps of ESPN reports that Dallas Mavericks forward Anthony Davis(adductor) will play against the Brooklyn Nets on Monday night. However, according to Bontemps, Mavs head coach Jason Kidd said Davis will be on a 28-minute limit for tonight's game in Brooklyn. Davis has been out of action since February 8, his first game as a Maverick. With the big man's minutes restricted in his return, he is likely a risky option for fantasy managers for this evening's contest. |

Mon Mar 24 | 17:40 | Anthony Davis Will Play On Monday Night |
Dallas Mavericks forward Anthony Davis (adductor) will play on Monday night versus the Brooklyn Nets. AD was listed as doubtful on Sunday night, so most had assumed he wouldn't be out there. However, he'll return to the floor after being sidelined since February 8, his first game as a Maverick. With Dallas down Daniel Gafford (knee) and Dereck Lively II (ankle), Davis may need to hold things down at the five. But there's also a chance Kai Jones remains in the middle, with Davis moving over to the power forward spot. Either way, the former Laker will likely see a minutes cap, making him a risky option for fantasy managers. |

Sun Mar 23 | 21:26 | Anthony Davis Doubtful For Monday Night |
Dallas Mavericks forward Anthony Davis (groin) is listed as doubtful ahead of Monday's game in Brooklyn. AD has appeared in only one game since his trade from Los Angeles to Dallas, amassing 26 points, 16 rebounds, seven assists, and three blocks during the Feb. 8 matchup with the Houston Rockets. Unfortunately, he re-injured his hip in that one and hasn't been on the floor since. It's possible Davis is back in action at some point in the next week, assuming he isn't cleared to suit up on Monday. Still, fantasy managers may not see him back to 100 percent for a while. If Davis is officially ruled out against the Nets, Klay Thompson, Naji Marshall, P.J. Washington, and Spencer Dinwiddie will likely remain more productive than usual. |

Mon Mar 17 | 12:37 | Anthony Davis Assigned To G League, Ramping Up For Return |
Dallas Mavericks center/forward Anthony Davis (adductor) has been assigned to the team's G League affiliate on Monday to get some more rehab work. According to ESPN's Tim McMahon, this move is to get Davis some more 5-on-5 work as he ramps up his conditioning to make his return. Jaden Hardy (ankle) was also assigned to the Texas Legends for the same purpose. Davis has been out since February 8, and the Mavericks are currently a game and a half ahead of the Phoenix Suns for the last play-in spot. While Davis still works back into the lineup, Kessler Edwards, P.J. Washington, and Naji Marshall should see the bulk of the frontcourt minutes. |

According to Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News, Dallas Mavericks center Anthony Davis (adductor) has been cleared for more on-court movements. He is set to be evaluated weekly by the Mavericks moving forward. Davis suffered a left adductor strain on February 8th during his first game in a Mavs uniform. If the 31-year-old can return this season, his veteran presence will boost his reeling club and the former Lakers center will make a massive impact in fantasy, as he has done throughout his career. |
