Dereck Lively II Uncertain To Play On Friday
1 year agoDallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively II (illness) has been tagged as questionable for Friday's contest due to a non-COVID illness. The rookie big man has proven to be a high-quality pick for the team so far as he's posted two double-doubles so far and has been a big paint presence on defense. If he can play, Maxi Kleber (toe) is currently listed as doubtful, so he could see some extra minutes in the frontcourt. If Lively can't suit up though, Dwight Powell would instantly become a streaming option since he would move up into the starting lineup and Richaun Holmes may see some playing time behind him.
