Dereck Lively II Starting On Thursday
9 months agoDallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively II (nose) is officially active for Thursday's game against the Suns. He missed seven games because of a nose injury, which required surgical intervention. He returned for the Mavs' meeting versus the Spurs heading into the All-Star break. However, he came off the bench in that one. But he'll return to the starting lineup versus Phoenix, although he'll have Daniel Gafford breathing down his neck for a chance to get on the floor. While both men deserve fantasy consideration for all lineups, neither player could have a clear edge on fantasy production moving ahead.
