Washington logged seven points (3-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 40 minutes during Wednesday's 105-99 loss to the Timberwolves. Washington had one of his worst games of the season, scoring fewer than 10 points for the first time in the past 11 games. Although his offensive and defensive production can fluctuate from game to game, his value to this team cannot be overstated. When all is said and done, he provides the Mavericks with a viable threat on both ends of the floor, currently averaging 12.4 points and 7.9 rebounds to go with 2.4 combined steals and blocks.

P.J. Washington Latest News
Underwhelming performance in loss
Washington logged seven points (3-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 40 minutes during Wednesday's 105-99 loss to the Timberwolves. Washington had one of his worst games of the season, scoring fewer than 10 points for the first time in the past 11 games. Although his offensive and defensive production can fluctuate from game to game, his value to this team cannot be overstated. When all is said and done, he provides the Mavericks with a viable threat on both ends of the floor, currently averaging 12.4 points and 7.9 rebounds to go with 2.4 combined steals and blocks.
Good to go Sunday
Washington (illness) isn't on the injury report for Sunday's game versus the Warriors, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports. Washington will return to action Sunday after missing Dallas' most recent outing due to an illness. The 26-year-old forward should reclaim his starting spot from Quentin Grimes against Golden State.
Returns to practice Friday
Coach Jason Kidd said Washington (illness) was a participant at Friday's practice, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports. Washington sat out of Tuesday's NBA Cup Quarterfinals loss to the Thunder due to an illness, though he appears to be gearing up for a return during Sunday's matchup against the Warriors. The 26-year-old continues to play a crucial role in the club's offensive scheme, and in his last five outings, he has averaged 14.2 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.2 blocks and 0.8 steals while shooting 44.4 percent from beyond the arc across 33.6 minutes per game.
Officially ruled out
Washington (illness) won't play in Tuesday's NBA Cup Quarterfinal game against the Thunder, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports. Washington has been downgraded from questionable to out Tuesday due to an illness. The 26-year-old forward's next chance to suit up will come Saturday if Dallas is able to advance in the NBA Cup.
Expected to sit out Tuesday
The Mavericks are expecting Washington (illness) to miss Tuesday's NBA Cup Quarterfinal game against the Thunder, NBA writer Marc Stein reports. Washington is officially listed as questionable for Tuesday's contest but is now expected to sit out. Naji Marshall (illness) will likely receive increased playing time in his absence.
Iffy for Tuesday
Washington (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Thunder, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports. Naji Marshall (illness) is also questionable, while Maxi Kleber (illness) has already been ruled out. Washington has a sizeable role for the Mavericks, so if he's unable to go, it's likely that coach Jason Kidd rolls with a committee approach to soak up his minutes.
Extends double-digit scoring streak
Washington chipped in 10 points (2-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 24 minutes during Thursday's 137-101 victory over Washington. Although he didn't play in the fourth quarter of Thursday's rout, Washington was still able to put forth a modest effort and reach double digits in scoring in his eighth consecutive game before his night came to a close. Through his last 10 contests, Washington is averaging 16.2 points, 9.5 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.3 blocks, 1.1 steals and 2.0 three-pointers while shooting a scorching 54.1 percent from deep. The 26-year-old stretch four has solidified himself as Dallas' starting power forward this season, and he should continue offering disruptive defense to the Mavericks while seeing plenty of open looks from downtown as opposing defenses focus on containing Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving.
Comes close to triple-double
Washington produced 19 points (7-12 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists, two blocks and one steal over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 129-114 victory over the Knicks. Even though Kyrie Irving, Naji Marshall and Quentin Grimes led the Mavericks on offense in this win, there's no question Washington had a massive impact on this victory due to his two-way contributions. The veteran forward finished just three assists away from a triple-double, and he continues to find ways to remain productive even if he's not scoring at a high rate. Washington is averaging 17.3 points, 11.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.3 blocks per game across his last six outings while posting five double-doubles in that stretch.
Impresses with double-double
Washington notched 21 points (7-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and two steals across 40 minutes during Sunday's 123-118 overtime loss to Miami. Washington has really started to find his form with three double-doubles in his last four games. In that span, Washington has averaged 18.5 points, 11.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.0 three-pointers. With Luka Doncic sidelined by a wrist issue, there should be plenty of usage to go around in Dallas.
