Dwight Powell Iffy To Play Against Spurs
6 months agoDallas Mavericks forward/center Dwight Powell (illness) is considered questionable for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the San Antonio Spurs. Powell is dealing with an illness, leaving his status for the opener in a state of flux. The 32-year-old veteran may already be lined up to back up No. 12 overall pick Dereck Lively II, who would only handle additional minutes if Powell is absent Wednesday. Maxi Kleber and Richaun Holmes would also see extra playing time if Powell cannot go. Whoever starts Dallas' opener down low figures to have their hands full with No. 1 overall pick Victor Wembanyama, so there might be limited fantasy appeal in this case, anyway. Powell belongs on most fantasy waiver wires in a crowded Mavericks frontcourt, in any event.
