One of the bright spots in the Dallas Mavericks' down season has been the emergence of versatile big man Dwight Powell. He has posted averages of 11.7 points and 7.5 rebounds over 26.6 minutes in 24 starts this season, but as Dallas has embraced the tank Powell's minutes have waned, causing his price to drop in DFS. In his last two games, though, the 26-year-old has seen steady minutes (31.7 per game) and has reminded us why he has been a favorite fantasy play as he stuffed the stat sheet with 13.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.0 steals, and 1.0 blocks for 32.7 FanDuel points per game.
In the Mavericks' regular season finale on Tuesday, he has a chance to finish strong as he faces the NBA's worst team in the Phoenix Suns. Not only do they own the worst defensive rating (110.7) whiling allowing the most points (113.5) per game, but opposing power forwards have individually taken them to task, averaging the most FanDuel points per game against them.
