Kristaps Porzingis (knee) ready to return for Mavericks Thursday
Washington Wizards center Kristaps Porzingis is not on the injury report for Thursday versus the Toronto Raptors.
What It Means:
Porzingis has been upgraded from questionable and is set to return from a two-game absence caused by left knee soreness. Deni Avdija will likely shift back to the Wizards' second unit and Daniel Gafford will have a reduced role.
numberFire's models project KP for 33.9 minutes and 42.1 FanDuel points on Thursday. Gafford is averaging 9.7 fewer minutes (17.7) and 14.8 fewer FanDuel points (18.3) per game this season when Porzingis is active.
