Tyus Jones and P.J. Washington have been promoted to the Mavericks’ starting lineup for Tuesday’s matchup against the Suns, as announced by head coach Jason Kidd. This adjustment follows the team’s recent loss to the Spurs, with Naji Marshall and Caleb Martin moving to bench roles. Fantasy managers should note Marshall could still hold value in deeper leagues despite the change.

Tyus Jones made his debut for Dallas in Saturday’s loss to the Spurs, recording two points and seven assists in 17 minutes. While his assist numbers were solid, Jones’s fantasy value remains limited with the team’s focus on developing Cooper Flagg, who is expected to handle a significant portion of the playmaking duties. Jones’s potential rise in fantasy relevance may hinge on a pressing team need for assists.

Tyus Jones will step into the starting lineup for the Magic against the Nuggets, filling in for the absent Jalen Suggs. With Tristan da Silva also sidelined, Anthony Black is expected to see a boost in his fantasy value. Desmond Bane, Paolo Banchero, and Wendell Carter Jr. round out the starting five, offering a solid mix of skills as the team navigates injury setbacks.
