Mavericks' Dereck Lively (back) questionable Tuesday
Dallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively (back) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Houston Rockets.
What It Means:
Lively sat out against the Los Angeles Clippers on Saturday and was replaced in the starting lineup by Richaun Holmes. Dwight Powell also played additional minutes off the bench. The Mavericks will likely use a similar approach on Tuesday if Lively is out again.
numberFire's models project Lively for 25.2 minutes and 25.5 FanDuel points on Tuesday. Holmes played 21.3 minutes and scored 13.5 FanDuel points as a starter on Saturday.
