Kristaps Porzingis (injury management) sitting Thursday for Dallas versus Thunder
Dallas Mavericks forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (right knee injury management) has been ruled out Thursday against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
What It Means:
Porzingis and Luka Doncic will both manage right knee injuries on Thursday in the second leg of a back-to-back. Maxi Kleber should see a larger role in the frontcourt while Porzingis' minutes could be split among Dwight Powell, James Johnson, and Willie Cauley-Stein.
numberFire’s models project Kleber for 25.3 FanDuel points versus the Thunder and he has a salary of $4,200 on Thursday’s 11-game slate. Kleber is our second-best value at the power forward position on Thursday. Willie Cauley-Stein also makes for an attractive value with a $3,500 salary and projection of 21.6 FanDuel points.
