McGee (ankle) is available for Friday's game against the Bulls.
McGee was probable for Friday's matchup, but the Mavericks ruled a few players out against Chicago after they were initially deemed probable. However, the 35-year-old has been cleared to suit up, and he could see increased playing time since Christian Wood (rest) and Maxi Kleber (hamstring) have both been ruled out.

Mavericks' JaVale McGee: Officially out Tuesday
Rotowire
McGee (ankle) won't take the floor Tuesday versus the Jazz.
Given that McGee was a late addition to the injury report and subsequently downgraded from questionable to doubtful, all signs pointed to the big man missing the contest. McGee hadn't appeared in any of the last five games anyway, so his absence shouldn't have much of an impact on the Mavericks' rotation. McGee's next chance to suit up arrives Wednesday versus the Pelicans.

Mavericks' JaVale McGee: Gets rare boost in minutes
Rotowire
McGee totaled 11 points (5-9 FG, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds and two assists over 19 minutes during Friday's 122-114 victory over Sacramento.
McGee logged his most playing time of the season and made it count by racking up 11 points and nine boards, with four rebounds coming on the offensive glass. It's worth noting that McGee received more minutes than Christian Wood, who hasn't logged more than 20 minutes in three games since returning from a fractured thumb. However, this trend is unlikely to continue once Wood feels comfortable enough to handle a full workload.

Mavericks' JaVale McGee: Makes random appearance Monday
Rotowire
McGee had eight points (4-5 FG, 0-1 FT) and three rebounds in 10 minutes during Monday's 111-105 victory over Detroit.
McGee saw action for the first time in almost two weeks, popping for eight points in 10 minutes. After opening the season as the starting center, things have gone south in a hurry for McGee. Even with Christian Wood (thumb) on the sideline, McGee has been unable to crack the rotation on a regular basis. Clearly, there is no need to waste your time with McGee, even in the deepest of formats.

After missing the past two games with a non-COVID illness, it appears that McGee will be available Thursday.

Mavericks' JaVale McGee: Won't play Saturday
Rotowire
McGee has been ruled out for Saturday's game versus Spurs due to a non-COVID illness.
McGee is averaging just 8.3 minutes in 23 games 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.
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.
