Dallas Mavericks center Maxi Kleber (toe) is available ahead of Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings. He was listed as questionable coming into this game, but he'll ultimately suit up. The expectation is that Kleber will serve as the backup center to Dereck Lively II during Saturday's game. There probably won't be enough minutes available for Kleber to be worth looking at in most fantasy formats.

Dallas Mavericks forward Maxi Kleber (toe) has been listed as probable for the team's Friday night contest against the Atlanta Hawks. Kleber missed a big stretch of games due to the same toe issue but has been able to battle through any pain over the last five games. While he hasn't been starting, he's been playing north of 20 minutes a night and has been able to contribute a bit in points, rebounds, and blocks. Kleber hasn't returned to full fantasy relevance yet, he's more of a deep-league asset, but if he continues to ramp up to more and more minutes, he could be a solid source of defensive stats and boards. As he plays more, that's also going to cut into the minutes of Grant Williams and Richaun Holmes.

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber (toe) has been listed as questionable for Saturday's matchup against the Pelicans. The Mavericks have been without him since Nov. 8, but Kleber was upgraded to doubtful ahead of Thursday's clash with the Knicks, and with him being upgraded again ahead of the weekend, it looks like Kleber's return to the court isn't far away anymore. He's made only five appearances this season, registering 3.4 points and 4.2 rebounds in 18.0 minutes. Kleber isn't expected to impact things in fantasy basketball.

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber (toe) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's matchup against the Knicks. He's been out since Nov. 8, and it seems unlikely Kleber will return on Thursday. The German is recovering from a right small toe dislocation. Before getting hurt, Kleber managed to make only five appearances for the Mavericks, posting 3.4 points and 4.2 rebounds. He's never been a reliable fantasy piece, although Dallas could really use an extra big body right now, as Dereck Lively II (ankle) has also run into health issues.

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber (toe) will continue to sit Monday versus the Grizzlies. He's missed over a month of action due to a dislocated toe, and it's unclear when Kleber will be able to resume basketball activities. The German big man has featured just five times for Dallas in 2023-24, posting 3.4 points and 4.2 rebounds in 18.0. Kleber has never been a productive fantasy player, but he would be an extra body to use for the Mavericks, who are having trouble guarding opposing bigs.

According to Brad Townsend of the Dallas Morning News, Mavericks center Maxi Kleber (toe) will miss at least two weeks. The 31-year-old dislocated a right toe at the beginning of November. He initially missed three games before returning for Wednesday's game against Toronto. Unfortunately, he'll now be sidelined for the foreseeable future. However, Kleber has averaged only 4.2 rebounds and 3.4 points this season, so his absence won't negatively impact fantasy managers, especially since Dereck Lively II and Dwight Powell have things covered in the middle.

Dallas Mavericks forward Maxi Kleber (toe) was originally listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Denver Nuggets but he has since been ruled out. The big man is dealing with a small toe dislocation and he'll have to miss at least one game. His absence should free up some minutes for both Dereck Lively II and Dwight Powell, while also allowing Derrick Jones Jr. and Grant Williams some more minutes at the power forward spot. All four of those players can be solid streaming options with Powell being the lowest of the four in terms of fantasy value.

Dallas Mavericks forward Maxi Kleber (toe) is questionable for Friday night's game against the Denver Nuggets as he's dealing with a right small toe dislocation. Toe and foot injuries can be difficult to judge sometimes because they can flare up with all of the cuts, running, and jumping in basketball. It seems like the team is going to make a decision after he goes through shootaround and warmups, so fantasy managers will want to stay tuned for updates. If he can't play, Dereck Lively II and Dwight Powell should see more minutes on the floor.

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber (foot) left Wednesday's win over the Chicago Bulls. He didn't return. The 31-year-old played only four minutes before going down with a right foot injury. He'll likely undergo further tests to determine if he can play in Friday's matchup with the Nuggets. However, Kleber has averaged only 5.7 rebounds and 4.3 points this season, so a potential absence won't mean much from a fantasy perspective.

Dallas Mavericks forward Maxi Kleber (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Indiana Pacers. The 31-year-old continues to deal with a lingering hamstring issue, so the team might give Kleber the night off to rest. He hasn't been offering much on offense lately, but continues to contribute on the defensive side of the ball. His absence would mean increased playing time for Reggie Bullock, Justin Holiday, and possibly Davis Bertans.

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber (hamstring) will sit out Wednesday's contest against New Orleans. He's just come back from a serious hamstring injury and the team will give him a night off after Kleber played 26 minutes Tuesday versus Utah. With JaVale McGee (ankle) remaining out and Reggie Bullock (quadriceps) unlikely to play after getting hurt Tuesday night, Christian Wood and Justin Holiday should get bigger workloads, while there might also be a Davis Bertans sighting.

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber (hamstring) will play a reduced role on Tuesday against the Indiana Pacers. Kleber is returning after about a two and a half month break due to a right hamstring tear so the limited minutes makes sense from a coaching perspective. Dwight Powell will continue to start for now but may cede minutes to Kleber once he is up to speed.

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber has been diagnosed with a torn hamstring, and the team has ruled him out indefinitely. Kleber has already been dealing with a knee sprain and the hamstring tear is a further blow for him. The 30-year-old German has played a big part in the second unit this season, averaging 25.6 minutes per game. He's been getting 6.2 points and 3.5 rebounds with 1.0 blocks. Christian Wood and Davis Bertans should soak in most of Kleber's minutes while he's out.

Dallas Mavericks power forward Maxi Kleber (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game vs. Cleveland due to a sprained right knee. Kleber has been a consistent contributor of Dallas' second unit thus far in 2022-23, averaging 6.2 PPG while shooting a career-best 49 percent overall from the field. His absence will open up minutes on the second unit for Davis Bertans and other members of the Mavericks' frontcourt. Attempting just 4.7 field goals per game this season, Kleber likely remains on the outside looking in of all season-long formats. His next chance to suit up comes Friday against the Trail Blazers.

Dallas Mavericks forward Maxi Kleber (foot) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The veteran forward was held out of Saturday's game due to right foot soreness. His absence resulted in more playing time for JaVale McGee and Davis Bertans. Surprisingly, McGee put up 18 points with eight rebounds in the absence of Kleber. However, he won't be a reliable streaming option if Kleber does end up missing another game.

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber (back) is expected to suit up for Saturday's meeting in Toronto. The 30-year-old has averaged 4.5 points and 3.6 rebounds in 24 minutes per game this season. As a result, Kleber's return won't send shockwaves through the Mavs' rotation, although Dwight Powell and Christian Wood may see fewer minutes. However, Kleber or Powell haven't done much in 2022-23 to warrant consideration in any fantasy format, while Wood should retain most of his upside.

The Dallas Mavericks' frontcourt defense received a blow to its core, with Maxi Kleber missing his third game of the season due to a back injury. As Dallas continues to find its footing -- they are currently ranked eighth in the Western Conference -- missing a key piece in the defense against an explosive Boston Celtics team makes matters worse. Despite the Mavericks having the fifth-ranked defensive rating, playing without Kleber will make it easier for Celtics players to get to the rim. Boston currently tops the league with a 119 offensive rating.

Dallas Mavericks forward Maxi Kleber (back) and JaVale McGee (neck) are out for Wednesday's meeting with the Rockets. Luka Doncic (rest) won't play either, and the Mavs will also be shorthanded underneath the basket, allowing Christian Would to see plenty of minutes and scoring opportunities. At the same time, Dwight Powell, who has averaged 7.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, and 1.2 assists in six starts this season, is expected to enter the starting lineup.

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber (back) will not return Tuesday against the Los Angeles Clippers. Kleber had a hard fall on his back and went to the locker room, but eventually returned to the game. It seems the pain was too much as Kleber was ruled out for the rest of the game shortly after. With JaVale McGee (neck) already out, Christian Wood should see big minutes as the team's center.

Dallas Mavericks forward Maxi Kleber (illness) will be available for Wednesday's season opener against the Phoenix Suns. The 30-year-old is dealing with a minor illness, but it won't be enough to hold him out of this contest. He recently signed a three-year $33 million extension with the organization. The expectation is that Kleber is going to have a significant role in Dallas. However, Christian Wood and JaVale McGee are likely going to cut into his playing time. Kleber is looking more like a deep league asset right now, but could have standard league value depending on his role.
