Johnson totaled 13 points (4-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound, two assists and one block across 20 minutes during Friday's 139-120 loss to the Spurs.
Johnson recorded double digits for the first time in his past 15 games, shouldering a little more on the offensive end as Dallas continues to roll with some interesting lineups. Although he has flashed some upside on the offensive end, Johnson's lack of supporting stats remains an issue. At this stage, there is no reason to think he will be a relevant piece next season.

Mavericks' Moussa Cisse: Five defensive stoppers
Rotowire
Cisse accumulated seven points (3-5 FG, 1-5 FT), eight rebounds, three blocks and two steals across 19 minutes during Friday's 139-120 loss to San Antonio.
Cisse recorded at least five combined steals and blocks for the second time in his past three games, once again flashing some nice defensive upside. Although his role has been sporadic, Cisse has demonstrated enough to at least keep himself relevant when available. With one game remaining in the season, Cisse makes for a viable streaming option for anyone needing rebounds and blocks.
Mavericks' Cooper Flagg: Drops 33 points in defeat
Rotowire
Flagg finished Friday's 139-120 loss to the Spurs with 33 points (13-25 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds and five assists in 32 minutes.
After scoring 11 points on 4-of-18 shooting from the field in Wednesday's loss to the Suns, Flagg bounced back on the offensive end Friday. The star rookie led the Mavericks in scoring while posting at least 25 points for the fourth time over his last five games, though it wasn't enough to beat Victor Wembanyama (40 points) and the Spurs. Flagg continues to provide value across the stat sheet and has now tallied at least five rebounds and five assists in 34 of his 69 regular-season appearances.

Mavericks' Marvin Bagley: Won't return Friday
Rotowire
Bagley (shoulder) won't return to Friday's game against the Spurs, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports. He'll finish with two points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in eight minutes.
Bagley logged eight minutes in the first quarter but won't return for the remainder of the game due to a left shoulder impingement, which previously cost him three straight games. He should be considered questionable for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Bulls until Dallas offers an update on his status.

Mavericks' Marvin Bagley: Questionable to return Friday
Rotowire
Bagley is questionable to return to Friday's game against the Spurs due to left shoulder impingement, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
Bagley was on the injury report prior to Friday's game due to a shoulder injury, though it's unclear whether he aggravated the injury. Dwight Powell and Moussa Cisse are in line for expanded roles if Bagley is unable to return.

Mavericks' Brandon Williams: Ruled out for Friday
Rotowire
Williams (illness) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Spurs.
As expected following his doubtful tag, Williams will miss his third consecutive contest while continuing to battle an illness. With Williams sidelined and Klay Thompson also out with an illness, the Mavericks' depth will be severely tested on Friday. Ryan Nembhard, AJ Johnson, and John Poulakidas should all see increased opportunities.

Mavericks' Dwight Powell: Cleared to play vs. San Antonio
Rotowire
Powell (hip) is available for Friday's game against the Spurs.
Powell was initially tagged as questionable due to a hip injury, but the veteran big man has been given the green light to play Friday. He's averaged 17.8 minutes per game over his last eight outings (three starts) and should continue to serve in an elevated role due to the absence of Daniel Gafford (shoulder).

Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Ruled out for Friday
Rotowire
Washington (elbow) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Spurs.
As anticipated following his doubtful tag, Washington will be sidelined for a third consecutive contest due to a left elbow sprain. With Washington, Klay Thompson (illness) and Naji Marshall (hip) officially ruled out, the Mavericks are dealing with a severely depleted frontcourt. Expect Khris Middleton and Tyler Smith to see significant boosts in playing time and usage against San Antonio.
Martin (heel) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Spurs.
Martin's absence will extend to 13 consecutive games due to a strained right heel. With the Mavericks eliminated from playoff contention, Martin's last opportunity to appear in a game this season is Sunday against the Bulls.

Mavericks' Naji Marshall: Ruled out for Friday
Rotowire
Marshall (hip) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Spurs.
As expected after entering the day with a doubtful tag, Marshall will sit out his second consecutive contest due to a left hip contusion he sustained during Tuesday's loss to the Clippers. With Marshall officially sidelined again, the Mavericks will likely lean on Khris Middleton and Tyler Smith to absorb the available minutes in the frontcourt.

Mavericks' Daniel Gafford: Ruled out for Friday
Rotowire
Gafford (shoulder) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Spurs.
As expected after being listed as doubtful, Gafford will miss his third consecutive game due to a right shoulder impingement. With Gafford sidelined once again, Marvin Bagley is heavily favored to draw another start at center. Dwight Powell should also continue to see rotational minutes backing him up.

Mavericks' Marvin Bagley: Cleared to play Friday
Rotowire
Bagley (shoulder) is available for Friday's game against the Spurs.
Bagley drew the questionable tag for Friday's game due to a shoulder injury. He was cleared to play after going through pregame warmups, and he'll likely remain in the Mavericks' starting lineup due to the absence of Daniel Gafford (shoulder). Bagley started against the Suns on Wednesday, when he played 26 minutes and finished with 20 points, eight rebounds, two assists and one block in a 112-107 loss.

Mavericks' Klay Thompson: Won't play Friday
Rotowire
Thompson (illness) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Spurs.
Thompson was a late addition to the injury report and will miss Dallas' penultimate game of the season. With the veteran wing sidelined, John Poulakidas, Khris Middleton and AJ Johnson are candidates to see increased minutes. Thompson's final chance to suit up this season will come Sunday against the Bulls.

Mavericks' Cooper Flagg: Available Friday
Rotowire
Flagg (wrist) has been cleared to play in Friday's game against the Spurs.
As expected, Flagg will power through his probable tag and play through a minor left wrist sprain. The star rookie had a rough shooting night in Wednesday's loss to the Suns (4-of-18 FG) but still managed to salvage his fantasy line with an 11-point, 11-rebound double-double. Flagg should take on his usual heavy workload as a primary focal point for the Mavericks on Friday night as he continues to build his case for Rookie of the Year.

Mavericks' Dwight Powell: Iffy for Friday
Rotowire
Powell (hip) is questionable for Friday's game against the Spurs.
Like Marvin Bagley (shoulder), Powell was a late addition to the injury report. If one or both players end up sitting out, the Mavericks may need to rely heavily on Moussa Cisse.

Mavericks' Marvin Bagley: Questionable for Friday
Rotowire
Bagley (shoulder) is questionable for Friday's game against the Spurs.
Bagley was a late addition to the injury report. The Mavericks are going to be very shorthanded Friday, and Moussa Cisse could be asked to step into an expanded role if Bagley is unavailable.
Mavericks' Brandon Williams: Unlikely to play Friday
Rotowire
Williams (illness) is listed as doubtful for Friday's game against the Spurs.
Williams is still under the weather and is expected to miss his third straight game Friday. If the 26-year-old guard is ruled out, there would be more minutes available for Ryan Nembhard and John Poulakidas.

Mavericks' Klay Thompson: Available for Friday
Rotowire
Thompson (rest) will play Friday against the Spurs.
Thompson received a rest day Wednesday against the Suns, but he'll be back on the court Friday after being omitted from the team's injury report. The veteran forward is averaging 10.4 points, 1.6 rebounds and 2.2 assists over his last five appearances, all off the bench.
