Dwight Powell coming off Mavericks' bench on Saturday
Dallas Mavericks forward Dwight Powell will play with the second unit Saturday in the team's game against the Orlando Magic.
What It Means:
Kristaps Porzingis had a stint in the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols. He has since tested out, and his conditioning is good enough to play. He'll also immediately start, and in a corresponding move, Powell will revert to a bench role.
Our models project Powell for 7.1 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 17.6 FanDuel points across 20.0 minutes of action.
