Mavericks' Klay Thompson: Nails four triples in loss
Rotowire
Thompson closed Friday's 120-106 Play-In Game loss to the Grizzlies with 18 points (7-15 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 0-1 FT), two rebounds and three assists in 32 minutes.
Thompson converted nine of his 18 three-point attempts across Dallas' two games in the Play-In Tournament but will ultimately miss out on the playoffs. After spending the first 11 years of his career with the Warriors, Thompson made 72 regular-season appearances for the Mavericks this season. Across those outings, the 35-year-old averaged 14.0 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 27.3 minutes.

Mavericks' Klay Thompson: Drains five threes in Play-In win
Rotowire
Thompson accumulated 23 points (8-11 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 120-106 Play-In Game win over the Kings.
The 35-year-old has a strong showing from beyond the arc as the Mavericks kept their playoff hopes alive. Thompson has had a bumpy April, scoring in double digits in only three of six appearances while battling through an illness and a foot injury. On the month, he's averaging just 11.5 points, 2.8 threes, 2.2 boards, 1.2 assists and 0,7 steals in 24.5 minutes a contest. Dallas will probably need the healthy, productive version of Thompson to show up Friday in Memphis if the team is going to claim the No. 8 seed in the Western Conference.

Rotowire

Rotowire
Thompson contributed six points (2-8 FG, 2-7 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 112-97 loss to the Lakers.
The Mavericks went without a true starting point guard Wednesday, but it didn't translate to an uptick in playmaking responsibilities for Thompson. The veteran sharpshooter is limping to the finish line in 2024-25, having averaged 10.9 points, 2.3 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 2.6 three-pointers in 24.9 minutes over his last nine contests. Thompson has just one 20-point effort during that stretch.

Mavericks' Klay Thompson: Won't return Friday
Rotowire
Thompson won't return to Friday's game against the Clippers due to an illness.
The Mavericks didn't disclose further details of the illness affecting Thompson, but they're going to be cautious with the veteran sharpshooter, as the last thing Dallas needs right now is another starter going down with an injury. Max Christie started the second half over Thompson, and he could be in line for an uptick in minutes if Thompson is unable to play Saturday on the second leg of the back-to-back set.

Mavericks' Klay Thompson: Lands five triples in win
Rotowire
Thompson supplied 17 points (6-11 FG, 5-9 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 29 minutes during Wednesday's 120-118 victory over the Hawks.
Thompson tallied double-digit scoring for the fourth straight game, hitting five triples, including a late-game dagger that preceded a game-winning shot by Anthony Davis. Although Thompson is not the player he once was, he still has the ability to come through in the clutch. Through 68 games, he is averaging 14.4 points and 3.1 three-pointers in 27.7 minutes per contest.

Mavericks' Klay Thompson: Another low-scoring effort
Rotowire
Thompson recorded 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt) and four rebounds across 26 minutes during Thursday's 101-92 victory over Orlando.
Thompson failed to reach the 15-point mark for the third straight game, and for the fifth time in his previous seven, so there's no doubt the veteran sharpshooter has been struggling. Even though he posted a solid shooting line in this win, shooting 50 percent from the floor and beyond the arc, the Mavericks need him to score at a higher rate, particularly with how depleted they are due to injuries. Thompson is averaging 15.1 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game over his last 10 appearances.

Rotowire

Mavericks' Klay Thompson: Late scratch Wednesday
Rotowire
Thompson has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Indiana due to an illness, Christian Clark of The Athletic reports.
Wednesday will be the first game Thompson has missed since Feb. 13, and he'll look to recover from his illness in time for Friday's game against the Pistons. Thompson's absence for Wednesday's game opens the door for Jaden Hardy or Max Christie to join the Mavericks' starting five.

Mavericks' Klay Thompson: Leads from deep in defeat
Rotowire
Thompson amassed 26 points (8-20 FG, 5-14 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Sunday's 125-116 loss to Phoenix.
Thompson provided a lift to Dallas offensively Sunday, connecting on a team-high mark from deep while finishing second on the team in scoring and as one of two Mavericks with 25 or more points. Thompson has buried five or more threes in 15 contests, including in two of his last three outings. He has now tallied 25 or more points on five occasions this season.
Thompson registered 28 points (11-27 FG, 6-14 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 137-107 loss to the Bucks.
Thompson led the way for the Mavericks as the primary player to account for Kyrie Irving's (knee) lost output. Thompson's streaky shot could be the antidote for the Irving shutdown, but Spencer Dinwiddie and Naji Marshall will also remain involved while Dallas works through absences all over the roster.

Mavericks' Klay Thompson: Stays hot from downtown
Rotowire
Thompson produced 16 points (5-14 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, five assists and one steal in 29 minutes during Saturday's 132-117 loss to the Bucks.
The 35-year-old is having perhaps his best stretch of the season, particularly from long distance. Thompson has drained at least three three-pointers in seven straight appearances, averaging 16.4 points, 4.3 threes, 3.7 boards, 2.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.7 blocks during that span while shooting an impressive 46.9 percent from beyond the arc.

Rotowire

Thompson drilled five three-pointers and turned in one of his best lines of the season. Although his long-range shot can be streaky, the veteran has been very accurate beyond the arc, averaging 53.8 percent from deep over the past five games. Thompson's continued accuracy on the perimeter will greatly improve Dallas' chances as they make their way through their schedule.

Mavericks' Klay Thompson: Hits four triples in return
Rotowire
Thompson (foot) contributed 12 points (4-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and two steals across 25 minutes in Friday's 111-103 win over the Pelicans.
Thompson was one of three Dallas starters to return to the lineup for the Mavericks' first game following the All-Star break, as he and Kyrie Irving (shoulder) returned from one-game absences, while P.J. Washington (ankle) was back in action after sitting out the previous three contests. Though Thompson made his usual contribution in three-pointers and also chipped in a pair of steals, poor efficiency and a lack of a peripheral contributions continue to suppress his fantasy upside. Thompson is still capable of popping off for huge scoring performances every now and then, but the big games aren't coming frequently enough at this stage of his career to make him much more than a streaming option for three-pointers in 12-team category or points leagues.
