Dallas Mavericks center Daniel Gafford (right ankle injury management) won't play in Friday night's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Gafford reaggravated his ankle injury during Wednesday's win over the Miami Heat. He missed the two games prior with the ankle issue. With Dereck Lively II (foot) also sidelined, Anthony Davis will see plenty of minutes at the center position. He's averaged 24.5 points, 15 rebounds, four assists, and 3.5 stocks in his last two games. The Mavericks play again Saturday night, when they host the Houston Rockets.--Andrew Ball
