Exum finished with zero points (0-1 FG), one rebound and one block across six minutes during Tuesday's 96-93 victory over the Clippers in Game 2 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.
EDGE Analysis
Exum saw just six minutes off the bench despite an ankle injury to Tim Hardaway. The Mavericks opted to go with size over speed, resulting in an important victory. With so much flexibility across their roster, Exum's role could fluctuate significantly moving forward.

Exum (foot) is not in the official injury report and will be available with no limitations for Game 1 of the series against the Clippers on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Exum didn't play in the Mavericks' final game of the regular season since the coaching staff wanted to rest him before the start of the playoffs, but he shouldn't have any limitations for the series opener against the Clippers on Sunday. He should see his regular minutes off the bench going forward.

Exum won't play Sunday against the Thunder due to a right foot sprain.
EDGE Analysis
This is likely a minor issue for Exum, as the Mavericks are holding out the bulk of their rotation for the season finale. Barring a surprise, Exum should be ready to roll for the playoffs.

Exum will start against the Pistons on Friday, Omari Sankofa II of the Detroit Free Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic are both being held out for rest, so Exum could potentially see a healthy workload Friday. As a starter this season, Exum holds averages of 13.8 points, 4.4 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 1.6 three-pointers.

Exum had 14 points (5-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds and two assists across 35 minutes during Sunday's 147-136 overtime win over the Rockets.
EDGE Analysis
With Luka Doncic (ankle) back in the lineup Sunday, Exum returned to the bench. He was still able to score in double digits and play 30-plus minutes for a second straight game. Exum's biggest moment came in the final moments of the fourth quarter, when he drained a last-second three on a pass from Doncic to force overtime. Since returning from a 13-game absence due to knee issues, Exum is averaging 6.4 points, 2.5 rebounds and 3.0 assists over 20.4 minutes per game.

Exum won't start Sunday's game against the Rockets.
EDGE Analysis
With Luka Doncic (knee) sidelined for the second half of a back-to-back set, Exum drew a spot start Friday versus the Warriors and posted 11 points and seven assists in 33 minutes during a 108-106 win. Exum should still play between 18 and 25 minutes off the bench Sunday.

Exum will get the start at point guard in Friday's game against the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
With Luka Doncic (knee) sidelined, Exum will get the spot start. The 28-year-old has averaged 14.0 points, 3.4 rebounds and 4.3 assists across 29.1 minutes in 15 starts this season.

Exum closed with eight points (2-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists in 23 minutes during Friday's 107-103 victory over Sacramento.
EDGE Analysis
Exum's effort highlighted Dallas' depth at almost every position as he hit the clutch shot when it counted. While few can mimic Luka Doncic's production, Exum performed admirably during the All-Star's recent absences after rebounding from his own set of maladies. He's unlikely to find his way back into the starting lineup unless Doncic or Irving take a night off, but he'll provide support with the second unit down the stretch.

Exum (heel) is active for Tuesday's game against San Antonio.
EDGE Analysis
Exum will suit up for his 11th consecutive contest Tuesday, and he has ramped up to averaging 21.0 minutes across his last four appearances. Dallas' rotation will be at full strength with the exception of Josh Green, who is set for an extended absence due to an ankle sprain.

Exum (foot) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
Exum continues to manage a right plantar fascia strain but should suit up for an 11th straight game. Over his past 10 appearances, he's averaged 5.4 points, 2.9 assists and 2.2 rebounds in 17.5 minutes per game.
