Dereck Lively II Questionable Again Versus Pelicans
11 months agoDallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively II (ankle) drew another questionable status for Monday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Since spraining his ankle against the Portland Trail Blazers on January 3, he's gone on to miss the next five games in a row and is now in danger of missing a sixth. The team isn't going to rush back a rookie center that has proven to be quite valuable for them in the early going of his career, so fantasy managers can probably play it on the safe side and make sure to have a backup plan. If Lively remains on the sidelines in this game, Dwight Powell should get the start at center again while Grant Williams and Maxi Kleber get some added minutes.
