Dereck Lively II Will Play On Wednesday
2 days agoDallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively II (hip) will play on Wednesday against the Rockets. He has missed the last three games because of a hip contusion, although it doesn't appear as if it will limit his time on the floor. However, Lively has averaged only 8.7 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks this season, so he's not the most reliable scorer. With that said, his presence should mean less work for Daniel Gafford, with Maxi Kleber likely getting removed from the equation almost entirely.
