Tue Mar 19 | 19:13 | Dante Exum Officially Available On Tuesday |
Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (foot) has been upgraded from probable to available and will play against San Antonio on Tuesday. Exum hasn't made much noise in fantasy basketball since running into health issues in the middle of the campaign but is currently in a position to play a bigger role for the team, as Josh Green (ankle) is out of the lineup. Across two prior meetings with the Spurs this season, Exum has averaged 11.5 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 2.0 assists in 20.0 minutes. |

Tue Mar 19 | 09:53 | Dante Exum Listed As Probable For Tuesday's Game |
Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (foot) is expected to make his 11th straight appearance on Tuesday versus San Antonio, as the team considered him probable for the clash. Exum has done well in battling through a foot problem in recent weeks. However, he hasn't been much of a help to fantasy managers, recording 5.6 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 2.7 assists in 17.4 minutes this month. A meeting with a bad defense might bring him more joy on Tuesday, but you definitely can't count on it. |

Sat Mar 16 | 20:08 | Dante Exum Questionable Sunday Against Denver |
Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (foot) is questionable for Sunday's contest against the Denver Nuggets. Exum is battling a plantar fascia sprain in his right foot. Exum started in Dallas' last game with Luka Doncic (ankle) out. However, if Exum cannot suit up on Sunday, Tim Hardaway and Jaden Hardy could have more minutes on the court. The 28-year-old missed 13 consecutive games earlier in the season with a knee injury. |

Wed Feb 28 | 18:28 | Dante Exum Back In Action Wednesday |
Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (knee) will return to action on Wednesday versus Toronto. He'll be returning after a 13-game absence. It's not completely clear which role Exum will have, as there have been a lot of changes in Dallas since the last time he saw action. It's likely Exum will also be limited minutes-wise after being sidelined for over a month. |

Tue Feb 27 | 13:20 | Dante Exum Remains Out On Tuesday But Could Be Back Wednesday |
Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (knee) will remain sidelined for Tuesday's contest against Cleveland. However, according to Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News, there's a "good chance" Exum returns on Wednesday when the team completes a back-to-back versus Toronto. Exum has featured just twice since Jan. 1 and looks set to return to action in a bench role. He has averaged 5.1 points, 2.1 rebounds, and 1.6 assists as a reserve in 2023-24. |

Mon Feb 26 | 17:45 | Dante Exum Listed As Doubtful For Tuesday |
Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (knee) has been listed as doubtful for Tuesday's matchup against Cleveland. He's missed 12 straight games but has been back in practice and doesn't appear to be far away from returning. However, his return on Tuesday still looks unlikely. Exum won't have to wait long for his next chance to return, as Dallas starts a back-to-back and faces Toronto on Wednesday. |

Thu Feb 22 | 05:16 | Dante Exum Remains Unavailable Thursday |
Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (knee) will sit out an 11th consecutive game on Thursday versus the Suns. He's been sidelined with a right knee issue, and Exum's good comeback campaign has turned into misery, as the Australian guard has missed all but three games in 2024 with health issues. According to Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd, Exum is "going in the right direction" and did non-contact work in Wednesday's practice. But it might still take a while until he's ready to play again. |

Wed Feb 14 | 16:30 | No Return For Dante Exum Against Spurs |
Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (knee) is still out for Wednesday's meeting with the San Antonio Spurs. Right knee bursitis will prevent Exum from suiting up for a 10th game in a row, and he'll look to get re-evaluated ahead of Dallas' next contest on Feb. 22 versus the Phoenix Suns. Josh Green will spend at least one more game in the Mavs starting five, and he's offering top-50 numbers in nine-category leagues since Jan. 31. Covering his latest seven games, Green is averaging 14.9 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.1 three-pointers on 46.9% shooting from downtown, and 1.1 swipes in 31.4 minutes and remains a strong streaming option in fantasy hoops in Wednesday's matchup that features the second-highest implied point total (242.5) on the massive 13-game slate. |

Mon Feb 12 | 16:19 | Dante Exum Unavailable Again |
Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (knee) will continue to sit in Monday's game versus the Washington Wizards. Exum continues to deal with soreness in his right knee that will have kept him on the shelf for nine straight games, and he has no timetable for a return. With the All-Star break looming, Exum would appear doubtful to suit up when the Mavs host the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday. Fellow Australian guard Josh Green's recent hot streak has him floating around the top 100 for fantasy purposes of late, averaging 13.4 points, 4.1 boards, 2.9 assists, and 2.3 treys on 47.1% shooting from downtown over his last 14 games. Green's scoring can be inconsistent on a Dallas team centered around Luka Doncic (nose) and Kyrie Irving (thumb), but the Wizards are surrendering the most points per game (123.9) in the league this season. |

Thu Feb 8 | 09:48 | Dante Exum Remains On The Sidelines Thursday |
Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (knee) will skip a seventh consecutive game on Thursday versus the Knicks. He's trying to come back from a knee issue, but it's currently unclear when Exum will be able to play again. The Australian guard has featured just twice in the lineup since Jan. 1. Exum's absence keeps Josh Green in the starting unit, and Tim Hardaway Jr. does most of the backcourt work off the bench alongside Jaden Hardy. However, Thursday's matchup could be a frustrating one for Dallas' second unit, as the Knicks team allows the third-fewest bench points in the league. |

Tue Feb 6 | 16:27 | Dante Exum Remains Out Against Nets |
Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (knee) will not play in Tuesday's contest against the Brooklyn Nets. After returning from a nine-game absence on Jan. 24, Exum is back on the shelf for a sixth game in a row due to bursitis in his right knee. The 28-year-old Australian combo guard has started 14 games for the Mavs in his first season back in the NBA following two years overseas, averaging 9.2 points on a career-high 57.1% shooting from the field, 2.8 assists, and 1.0 three-pointers, and he trails only Grayson Allen in three-point percentage (47.7%). Exum's absence means more playing time for fellow Aussie guard Josh Green, who is settling into Dallas' starting group by averaging 15.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 2.7 threes on 50.0% shooting from deep covering his prior six games. |

Sun Feb 4 | 21:36 | Dante Exum Won't Suit Up On Monday |
Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (knee) won't play on Monday against the 76ers. He's currently having arguably the best year of his career from a production standpoint, averaging 9.2 points and shooting 47.7% from deep. Regrettably, the veteran has battled various injuries throughout the 2023-24 campaign, and he's most recently missed the last four games because of knee bursitis. With Luka Doncic (ankle) and Kyrie Irving (thumb) in and out of the lineup this season, Exum has taken advantage. But it's anyone's guess when he'll be ready to return. That said, Exum won't be as productive if Irving and Doncic are both available, meaning fantasy managers in most re-draft setups can drop him. |

Sat Jan 27 | 20:38 | Dante Exum Ruled Out For Saturday |
Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings. After playing on Friday, Exum will sit out a day later due to right knee soreness. The Mavs are going to be shorthanded with Derrick Jones Jr. (wrist) also sidelined on Saturday. Jaden Hardy and Seth Curry figure to see expanded roles with the Mavs shorthanded. Between the two, Hardy is the better streaming option for Saturday's slate. |

Wed Jan 24 | 11:41 | Dante Exum Could Return Against Suns |
Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (heel) could make his return to action on Wednesday against the Phoenix Suns. The 28-year-old has been sidelined for the past six games with a right plantar sprain, but he participated fully in the team's latest practice, indicating a potential comeback. Upon his return, Josh Green may see a reduction in minutes, given Exum's solid performances this season. Exum is currently averaging 9.7 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 3.7 assists in 20 minutes per game during this season. |

Mon Jan 22 | 16:06 | Dante Exum Still Out Against Boston |
Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (heel) remains out for Monday's home battle with the Boston Celtics. Exum has been nursing a plantar sprain in his right heel since Jan. 3, but he reportedly practiced fully in Sunday's session, so he would appear to have a decent chance of ending a nine-game absence when Dallas hosts the Phoenix Suns for a matchup between two Western Conference contenders on Wednesday. After falling out of the Association and participating in play overseas for two years, the former No. 5 overall pick was playing the best ball of his NBA career before going down. Averaging 9.3 points on 57.5% field-goal shooting, 2.9 assists, and 0.9 three-pointers on 45.2% shooting from deep in 19.5 minutes across 30 games, Exum is worthy of a fantasy stash in deeper settings. With Seth Curry (ankle) out on Monday, Jaden Hardy and Josh Green have clearer paths to playing time. |

Fri Jan 12 | 20:35 | Dante Exum Still Out On Saturday |
Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (foot) remains out on Saturday against the Pelicans. The 28-year-old will now miss his sixth consecutive contest because of a right plantar sprain, which is unfortunate, considering he's averaged 14.5 points, 4.4 assists, and 3.6 rebounds this season. With Luka Doncic (ankle) also sidelined and Josh Green (illness) questionable, Tim Hardaway Jr. and Kyrie Irving could lead the way offensively, with the duo combining for 66 points in Thursday's meeting with the New York Knicks. Derrick Jones Jr., Grant Williams, and Jaden Hardy should also get more scoring opportunities, although none can be trusted for consistent fantasy production. |

Thu Jan 11 | 09:54 | Dante Exum Remains Out Thursday |
Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (heel) will miss a fifth consecutive game Thursday versus the Knicks. The 28-year-old is trying to overcome a right plantar strain. Exum had an impressive spell in the team before getting hurt. He has averaged 14.5 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 4.4 assists as a starter this season. Josh Green has stepped into the starting five in Exum's absence, but he hasn't been a reliable source for consistent fantasy value, and Green even went scoreless in 23 minutes against Memphis on Tuesday. |

Mon Jan 8 | 19:18 | Dereck Lively II, Dante Exum Ruled Out Against Grizzlies |
Dallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively II (ankle) and guard Dante Exum (foot) have both been ruled out for their Tuesday night game against the Memphis Grizzlies. This is going to be Lively's third consecutive game missed and it's Exum's fourth. They're both still dealing with sprains but Lively's is his ankle while Exum is dealing with a right Plantar sprain. The bigger blow to the team is Lively while the rest of the big men seem to be a revolving door. As they both remain out, Dwight Powell and Josh Green should both receive more opportunities in the starting lineup. Green has the better potential, so fantasy managers can look towards him for streaming options. |

Fri Jan 5 | 15:54 | Dante Exum, Richaun Holmes Both Ruled Out On Friday |
Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (heel) and center Richaun Holmes (personal) have both been downgraded from doubtful to out on Friday. Given the doubtful tag, this isn't a surprise that they're not playing, but at least the team made it official with plenty of time before the game. This will be their second consecutive game missed, but Exum's absence will likely be felt more than Holmes' since he only sees 10.6 minutes a night. Exum has enjoyed a career resurgence of sorts but has come back to Earth a bit since Kyrie Irving returned. In place of Exum, Tim Hardaway Jr. and Seth Curry should see some extra minutes. With Holmes out and Dereck Lively II (ankle) questionable, Dwight Powell could see some heavy minutes at center. |

Wed Jan 3 | 10:00 | Dante Exum Doubtful To Play Wednesday |
Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (heel) is considered doubtful for Wednesday's game against Portland. He tried to play through a right heel contusion on Monday versus Utah, but Exum lasted for only 12 minutes. Jaden Hardy started the second half in Exum's place on Monday, and he will likely maintain the role versus the Trail Blazers. Josh Green could also get extended minutes, especially with a blowout expected in the game. The Mavericks are 12-point favorites on home court. |
