Dereck Lively II Probable Versus The Pacers
10 months agoDallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively II (nose) is probable for Sunday's matchup with Indiana. The rookie missed time because of a nose injury. He returned for the Mavs' final game before the All-Star break but came off the bench. However, Lively was back in the starting lineup on Friday in the win over Phoenix. Unfortunately, he logged just 16 minutes and finished with only five points and four rebounds. While he also amassed two blocks, his workload was discouraging for fantasy managers, to say the least. That said, as long as Daniel Gafford and Maxi Kleber remain in the equation, Lively's outlook for the rest of the 2023-24 campaign isn't as bright as it was before he went down with the nose injury.
