McGee has been ruled out for Saturday's game versus Spurs due to a non-COVID illness.
EDGE Analysis
McGee is averaging just 8.3 minutes in 23 minutes this season, so his absence shouldn't have a major impact on Dallas' rotation. His next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with the Rockets.

McGee had 18 points (8-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and four rebounds over 17 minutes during Saturday's 144-115 loss to Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
McGee was on the floor for just five minutes in the first half and knocked down his only field-goal attempt before the break. With the game already well out of reach for Dallas in the fourth quarter, the big man added 15 points on 7-of-9 shooting from the field to finish with a season-high scoring total. McGee has barely held down a rotation spot since moving out of the starting five in early November, and the Mavericks' coaching staff isn't likely to put too much stock in a performance that he largely achieved in garbage time.

McGee (neck) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup against Houston.

McGee has been downgraded to out for Tuesday's game versus Clippers due to a neck strain.
EDGE Analysis
McGee has averaged 4.2 points, 3.0 rebounds and 0.5 blocks in 9.4 minutes across 10 games this season. McGee's absence should open more playing time for Christian Wood on Tuesday. The veteran center's next opportunity to play will be Wednesday's game versus the Rockets.

McGee will come off the bench Wednesday against the Magic, Mavericks radio play-by-play broadcaster Chuck Cooperstein reports.
EDGE Analysis
McGee's role has diminished lately, and Dwight Powell appears to be on his way to permanently take over as the starting center. McGee hasn't seen double-digit minutes since Oct. 27.

McGee accumulated zero points (0-1 FG) across three minutes during Monday's 96-94 win over Brooklyn.
EDGE Analysis
Despite starting the contest, McGee logged just three minutes in Monday's affair. It marks his fourth straight contest plying single-digit minutes after the big man played at least 12 in each of the first four games. This decrease in playing time doesn't bode well for McGee's fantasy outlook for the rest of the campaign, though things can change should injuries arise. As of now, both Dwight Powell and Christian Wood are ahead of the veteran in the rotation.

McGee is starting Monday's game against the Nets, Tim Cato of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
McGee started the first six games he appeared in to begin the 2022-23 campaign, but he averaged just 11.3 minutes, 4.8 points and 3.3 rebounds over that stretch. After moving to a bench role for one game Friday against Toronto, coach Jason Kidd announced that McGee will move back to the starting center slot for Monday's matchup.

McGee will come off the bench in Friday's game against the Raptors, Callie Caplan of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
McGee was leapfrogged by Dwight Powell on the depth chart Friday, marking his first time not appearing in the starting five this season. Since McGee has logged less than 10 minutes in each of his last two games and has not played more than 14 minutes this season, his fantasy production may not be affected by his reserve status.
