Dwight Powell double-doubles in start for Mavericks
Dallas Mavericks power forward Dwight Powell scored 18 points (6-of-12 field goals, 6-of-6 free throws) with 12 rebounds, 1 block, and 2 turnovers in 28.7 minutes of Sunday's 104-97 loss to the Houston Rockets.
What It Means:
Powell doubled his amount of double-doubles for the season with Sunday's performance as he benefitted from Dirk Nowitzki's (ankle) first absence of the year. His workload could rise over the second half of the season for a rebuilding Mavericks' team.
Powell scored 33.4 FanDuel points on Sunday, compared to his average of 18.1 FanDuel points per game for the season.
