Dereck Lively II Still Out On Thursday

Dallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively II (nose) won't return to the lineup on Thursday versus the Knicks, sitting out a fifth consecutive game due to a broken nose.

Tyrese Haliburton Remains On Injury Report Thursday

Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Thursday's matchup against Golden State.
