Dirk Nowitzki (ankle) is probable for Mavericks on Tuesday
Dallas Mavericks forward/center Dirk Nowitzki (ankle) is probable to play on Tuesday against the Sacramento Kings.
Nowitzki missed his first game of the season on Sunday with what the Mavericks described as "left ankle effusion," but it was also the second half of a back-to-back set, so maintenance may have been a contributing factor as well. The veteran's return will likely take minutes away from Dwight Powell on Tuesday.
Dirk is averaging 24.0 FanDuel points in 56 games this season. Over the remainder of the year, numberFire's models project him to record 15.8 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.7 steals, and 1.2 3-pointers per game.
