Kristaps Porzingis (injury management) starting for Mavericks Saturday; Willie Cauley-Stein to bench
Dallas Mavericks forward/center Kristaps Porzingis will start Saturday in the team's game against the Denver Nuggets.
What It Means:
Porzingis got the last game out due to injury management concerns, but he's been cleared to play this time around against Nikola Jokic and Co. As expected, the Latvian native will re-enter the starting five, sending Willie Cauley-Stein to a bench role.
Our models project Porzingis for 20.8 points, 9.2 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 39.3 FanDuel points across 33.9 minutes of action.
