Dallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively II will not play Monday in the team's game against the Denver Nuggets.
Lively left Saturday's game and did not return due to a sprained left ankle. Now, he has been ruled out of action entirely for Monday night's contest. Look for Dwight Powell and Markieff Morris to get added run.
In 23 games this season, Lively is averaging 8.9 points, 7.7 rebounds, 1.1 assists, 1.6 blocks and 25.3 FanDuel points.
