  • Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Records double-double in win

    Washington registered 14 points (5-11 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 0-2 FT), 13 rebounds and two assists across 32 minutes during Tuesday's 132-96 win over the Kings.

    Washington registered his first double-double in Dallas during the lopsided victory, further cementing his full-time role at the four. The former Hornet has come close to the milestone a couple of times, but if Daniel Gafford and Dereck Lively continue to post subpar stat lines, his opportunities to get sufficient rebound numbers should increase.

  • Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Not listed on injury report

    Washington (ankle) isn't on the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Jazz, Grant Afseth of NBAAnalysis.net reports.

    Washington appeared to suffer a right ankle injury during Friday's game against Washington, but after being evaluated further, he'll be ready to go for Monday's clash. The 25-year-old has been held in check in the scoring column of late, averaging 7.0 points over his last seven appearances.

  • Mavericks' P.J. Washington: May have tweaked ankle Thursday

    Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd said after Thursday's 113-97 win over the Jazz that Washington will be re-evaluated Friday after the big man appeared to suffer a right ankle injury late in the fourth quarter, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

    Kidd suggested that Washington may have inadvertently stepped on another player's foot, though Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News relays that the 25-year-old looked to have tweaked his right ankle when he slipped on a wet spot on the court. Whatever the case, Washington turned in another disappointing offensive performance before checking out of the game for good with 1:59 remaining, finishing with six points (3-9 FG, 0-4 3Pt), five rebounds, two steals, two blocks and one assist in 33 minutes. Over his last seven games, Washington is averaging 7.0 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.1 steals, 1.1 blocks, 1.0 assists and 0.7 three-pointers in 31.4 minutes per contest while shooting a dismal 32.8 percent from the field and 60 percent from the free-throw line. Though Washington's playing time appears stable and his shooting should improve in the games to come, fantasy managers in leagues with daily lineup moves likely can't afford to hold him at this stage of the season while he's in a massive slump and dealing with an injury. The Mavericks are off for the weekend before returning to action in Monday's game in Utah.

  • Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Cold streak continues

    Washington produced seven points (3-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), five rebounds, one block and two steals across 23 minutes during Monday's 127-92 victory over Chicago.

    Washington has struggled to 3-for-12 shooting from beyond the arc over the last three games. He has started in 12 consecutive games for Dallas, so he appears locked into the starting role, although he has yet to deliver consistent fantasy production in his new setting.

  • Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Scores 17 points Friday

    Washington had 17 points (7-16 FG, 3-9 3Pt), seven rebounds and one block across 35 minutes during Friday's 138-110 loss to the Celtics.

    Washington wasn't quite as impressive as in his previous game against the Raptors, when he posted 23 points (9-16 FG, 5-10 3Pt), six rebounds and three blocks in 31 minutes during a 136-125 win on Wednesday, though that was also because he faced stronger rivals here, with Boston featuring one of the best defenses in the league. Washington has adjusted well to life in Dallas and seems to have earned a regular starting role. He's averaging 11.0 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game over his last seven appearances, all starts, with the Mavs.

  • Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Impressive against Toronto

    Washington finished Wednesday's 136-125 win over Toronto with 23 points (9-16 FG, 5-10 3Pt), six rebounds and three blocks in 31 minutes.

    Washington had his best game since joining the Mavericks before the trade deadline, making his presence felt on both ends of the court and posting his best scoring output since Jan. 31, when he was still playing for the Hornets in a win over the Bulls. Washington seems to have settled into a starting role with the Mavericks, though he needs to be more consistent, particularly from a scoring perspective, to have more fantasy upside. To note, he has scored in single digits in three of his six starts with Dallas.

  • Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Enters starting five

    Washington is starting Monday's game against the Wizards, Mark Followill of Bally Sports Southwest reports.

    Washington came off the bench in his Dallas debut, and he's now set to make his first start since joining his new squad. He finished with 14 points, five boards, one assist and one steal in 24 minutes Saturday, so he'll likely shoulder around 30 minutes Monday now that he's better acclimated.

  • Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Serviceable performance Saturday

    Washington accumulated 14 points (6-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal over 24 minutes during Saturday's 146-111 victory over the Thunder.

    Washington came off the bench in his Dallas debut, popping for 14 points on 6-of-10 shooting. Although he is unlikely to see as much playing time following the trade, he should still be on the floor enough to warrant attention in most fantasy formats. Given he played 24 minutes right out of the gate, managers shouldn't be surprised if he nudges 30 minutes per night moving forward.

  • Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Set to debut for new team

    Washington (recently traded) is available for Saturday's game versus the Thunder, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

    Washington was traded from the Hornets to the Mavericks on Thursday. While he sat out against the Knicks, the 25-year-old forward will likely make his Dallas debut Saturday. Washington is expected to enter the starting lineup.

  • Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Coming off bench in debut

    Washington isn't in the starting lineup for Saturday's game versus the Rockets, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

    Washington is set to make his Mavericks debut Saturday against the Rockets. However, Washington will likely be eased into the rotation.

  • Mavericks' P.J. Washington: Dealt to Dallas

    The Hornets are finalizing a trade to send Washington to the Mavericks in exchange for Grant Williams, Seth Curry and a first-round pick, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

    After starting in all 73 appearances for Charlotte in 2022-23, Washington has started just 17 out of 44 games for the Hornets this season. In 2023-24, he is averaging 13.6 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 29.2 minutes. While Washington's 44.6/32.4/71.3 shooting splits aren't stellar, he will likely start in Dallas' frontcourt and provide another scoring option to support Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving.

  • Hornets' P.J. Washington: Drops 22 against Pacers

    Washington amassed 22 points (9-16 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals in 32 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 115-99 loss to Indiana.

    It's the third time in the last five games Washington has delivered more than 20 points. Over the last 10 contests, the fifth-year forward has played 30.9 minutes a game while bouncing between the bench and the starting five, averaging 17.7 points, 5.1 boards, 2.3 threes, 1.9 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.8 blocks over that stretch while shooting 54.8 percent from the floor and 41.1 percent from beyond the arc.

  • Hornets' P.J. Washington: One-man second unit Wednesday

    Washington ended with 26 points (10-17 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and one block across 36 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 117-110 loss to Chicago.

    The fifth-year forward's strong numbers from the second unit look even better considering that the rest of the Charlotte bench combined for only 11 points and seven boards. Washington has filled a variety of roles of late, starting four of the last eight games, but that deployment seems to be agreeing with him -- he's averaging 18.8 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.8 threes, 2.0 assists and 0.9 blocks over that stretch while shooting 57.6 percent from the floor and 46.8 percent (22-for-47) from long distance in 31.4 minutes a contest.

  • Hornets' P.J. Washington: Back to bench

    Washington won't start Wednesday's game against the Bulls, Sam Perley of the Hornets' official site reports.

    The Hornets went big against the Knicks on Monday, with Washington, Miles Bridges, Nick Richards, Brandon Miller and Cody Martin starting. However, they'll roll out a more traditional lineup Wednesday, with Bryce McGowens replacing Washington. The latter should still handle a sizable role off the bench, as he's averaged 29.7 minutes over his last nine appearances (four starts).

  • Hornets' P.J. Washington: Will start Monday

    Washington will start Monday's game against the Knicks, Sam Perley of the Hornets' official site reports.

    Washington will replace Ish Smith in the starting lineup, with LaMelo Ball (ankle) still out. Washington is deserving of a starting spot after exploding for a season-high 43 points Saturday, but it's unclear how a frontcourt of Washington, Miles Bridges and Nick Richards will work for spacing purposes. Across 16 starts this season, Washington has averaged 14.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.3 steals-plus-blocks in 32.2 minutes per game.
