Kristaps Porzingis (knee) ruled out again Tuesday for Dallas

Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis (knee) has been ruled out for Tuesday versus the Detroit Pistons.

What It Means:

Porzingis will pick up a fifth consecutive absence on Tuesday. Maxi Kleber (knee) has also been ruled out again, so look for Dwight Powell to draw another start up front. Dorian Finney-Smith and Marquese Chriss are also in line for larger roles. Boban Marjanovic is another candidate for additional minutes in the Mavericks' rotation.

numberFire's models currently project Powell for 34.2 minutes and 30.3 FanDuel points on Tuesday.
