Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber (back) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Hornets. Kleber returned to action Sunday against Houston after missing one game. However, he is still dealing with back spasms. Against the Rockets, the 32-year-old played 30 minutes and registered nine points, four rebounds, three assists, two steals, and a block in the win. Daniel Gafford and Dwight Powell could see an uptick in minutes if Kleber cannot suit up.

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber (back) is out for Friday's game against Golden State. Kleber had a decent showing in Thursday's win over Atlanta, finishing with seven points, six boards, and one block in 21 minutes. But he'll sit this one out because of back spasms. The Mavs also won't have Dereck Lively II (knee), so Daniel Gafford should get even more work. There's also a chance Dwight Powell gets some action, although he's hard to trust from a fantasy standpoint.

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber (knee) will play on Tuesday versus Sacramento. Dallas needs a win on Tuesday night, so it's all hands on deck for this one. Luka Doncic (Achilles) is available, which is undoubtedly good news. And while Kleber provides depth for the Mavs, he's only averaged 2.2 points and 2.7 rebounds in the last 10 games, meaning he's not worth considering for DFS contests.

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber (knee) is questionable for Monday's tilt with Utah due to left knee soreness. If the big man is unavailable, Dereck Lively and Daniel Gafford would likely see more action than usual. Kleber has played in just 33 contests this season, averaging 20.9 minutes per game while posting 4.4 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 0.6 blocks. He should not be considered an option for fantasy play on Monday.

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber (knee) has been upgraded in his status and is available to play on Thursday against Miami. Kleber's availability gives Dallas an extra body to combat the Heat's star center Bam Adebayo. Offensively, he's not expected to have a major role, especially considering his recent awful form. Kleber hasn't hit a single shot in his last three appearances, posting only three total points. He's also been quite passive on the boards over the stretch, getting just 2.7 rebounds.

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber (knee) is on the injury report as probable ahead of Thursday's clash with Miami. He missed one game last week, but Kleber has been fairly durable since returning from a toe injury in mid-January, and it looks like he will be good to go against the Heat. Kleber has been used off the bench in each of his last seven appearances. He's continued to play a large part in the rotation but was limited to only 15 minutes on Tuesday against Indiana. Even with health minutes, Kleber helps out fantasy managers very little, and he's definitely a much better asset in real life.

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber (knee) will play on Tuesday against the Indiana Pacers. He's battled several injuries this season, including a toe issue that kept him out for over two months. The 32-year-old also fractured his nose a few weeks back. However, Kleber's current knee soreness likely isn't anything for fantasy managers to be concerned with. That said, despite the arrivals of P.J. Washington and Daniel Gafford, Kleber continues to have a routine role in the rotation. Unfortunately, he hasn't been productive, averaging just 5.2 points and 3.6 boards during the 2023-24 campaign.

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber (knee) is questionable to face the Pacers on Tuesday. After dealing with toe and nose issues, Kleber has now landed on the injury report with left knee soreness. He could miss out on a great opportunity to make noise, as Indiana is giving up the third-most points per game in the league (122.0) and is ranked 24th in rebounding rate (48.8). Kleber sees 20-plus minutes regularly, and his absence would give a good boost to the rest of the Mavericks bigs. P.J. Washington has been the best frontcourt asset from Dallas. He has posted 11.6 points and 5.2 rebounds in 31.9 minutes since arriving from Charlotte.

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber (toe, nose) is set to return to the lineup for Friday's battle with Boston. He skipped the second leg of a back-to-back on Wednesday versus Toronto. Despite the Mavericks getting frontcourt help in the form of P.J. Washington and Daniel Gafford, Kleber has continued to see 20-plus minutes regularly. However, he's struggled to please fantasy managers, averaging only 5.5 points and 3.6 rebounds in 22.2 minutes for the season.

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber (nose, toe) won't be in action on Wednesday versus Toronto. He comes out of the lineup after playing 27 minutes against Cleveland on Tuesday. Kleber's absence is likely only for rest purposes, and there's a strong possibility he'll be back in the lineup next time out against Boston. Derrick Jones Jr. should benefit from Kleber's absence on Wednesday, although the German veteran has only been a bench piece lately, and the available minutes will likely be shared around the squad.

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber (nose) will be available for Tuesday's contest against Cleveland. He'll be in action for a third straight game after initially being listed as probable for the contest. Kleber has been pushed to the bench for the most recent games, but he's still seen healthy minutes. However, the 32-year-old tends to cruise through games without providing much for fantasy managers.

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber (nose) is considered probable for Tuesday's clash with the Cavaliers. In a strange coincidence, multiple Mavericks players have had their noses broken in recent times, and Kleber is one of them, but the nasal fracture isn't expected to keep him off the court. Kleber is set to have an important role in slowing down the twin towers of Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen, but his effectiveness on the offensive end is very limited. The 32-year-old averages 8.9 points and 4.1 rebounds in 27.3 minutes for the month.

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber (nose) will play on Thursday night versus Phoenix. Like Luka Doncic and Dereck Lively II, Kleber has dealt with a nasal fracture of his own. He's also been burdened by a toe injury, which kept him off the floor for a few months this season. However, Kleber is good to go on Thursday night. Yet, with Lively, Daniel Gafford, and P.J. Washington also active, it will be tough for him to get involved enough to make an impact for fantasy managers.

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber (nose) looks set to return from a one-game absence on Thursday versus Phoenix, as the team has listed him as probable for the game. Kleber missed a long stretch at the beginning of the season with a dislocated toe, and the team continues to have him on the injury report with the issue, while he also recently fractured his nose. However, Kleber has skipped only two of the last 16 games, and we should see him active on Thursday. Kleber's availability adds a frontcourt option to Dallas, but he doesn't carry much fantasy value following the arrivals of P.J. Washington and Daniel Gafford.

Dallas Mavericks center Maxi Kleber (toe) is available ahead of Monday's game against the Washington Wizards. The big man has been dealing with a lingering toe issue lately. Despite that, Kleber posted a double-double during Saturday's game. It's worth noting that he'll come off the bench with PJ Washington and Daniel Gafford moving into the starting five for Monday's game. Kleber should still see minutes off the bench, but he won't be as valuable of a streaming option.

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber (nose) has been listed as probable for Monday's contest against Washington. Kleber recently suffered a nasal fracture but has been playing through the injury and is expected to remain in the lineup on Monday. The 32-year-old looked very good on Saturday versus OKC with a 12-point, 12-rebound double-double. He remained a starter despite the additions of Daniel Gafford and P.J. Washington at the trade deadline. His place in the rotation appears secure for now, with Dereck Lively (nose) remaining on the shelf.

Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber (toe) has been listed as questionable for Thursday's meeting with the Knicks. He's missed a large chunk of the season with a small toe dislocation, and the team has continued to have him on the injury report with the same issue. However, Kleber has played in 11 of 12 games since returning to the lineup and even came through a back-to-back situation to start this week, so the chances of him playing on Thursday appear good. The German has been a starter for the last three games due to Dereck Lively II's (nose) absence, averaging 14.0 points and 3.0 rebounds.

Dallas Mavericks forward Maxi Kleber (toe) will be available ahead of Tuesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Kleber has been cleared to play after being listed as probable ahead of this contest. The presence of Kleber will mean more with Dereck Lively III (nose) ruled out for this game. Kleber should have a bigger role which gives him more streaming appeal for Tuesday's game.

Dallas Mavericks center Maxi Kleber (toe) is questionable heading into Monday's meeting in Philadelphia. A right toe issue plagues him, the same injury he's dealt with all year. He's coming off a strong showing, amassing 21 points and two steals on Saturday against the Bucks. Dereck Lively II (nose) wasn't available for that one. The rookie will have a procedure on his nose on Monday, so he'll miss another game, meaning Kleber could be in line for more work. But if Kleber is sidelined, Richaun Holmes, who had a double-double with two blocks versus the Timberwolves on January 31, would be an ideal streaming option.

Dallas Mavericks center Maxi Kleber (nose) is expected to suit up for Saturday's meeting with the Milwaukee Bucks. The Mavs likely won't have Dereck Lively II (nose) for at least a few games, with the rookie scheduled to undergo surgery on Monday. Fortunately, Kleber should be available. However, with Richaun Holmes coming off a double-double, Kleber could see fewer minutes than usual, meaning he's not worth starting in any fantasy format.
