Maxi Kleber (knee, questionable) expected to sit for Mavericks Wednesday
Dallas Mavericks power forward Maxi Kleber (sore knee, questionable) is not expected to play on Wednesday versus the Washington Wizards, head coach Rick Carlisle said.
What It Means:
Kleber was a late addition to the injury report. His absence will create more opportunity off the bench for Dorian Finney-Smith and Dwight Powell. Kleber is averaging close to 20 minutes per game this season.
Kleber is posting 16.9 FanDuel points in 57 games (16 starts) overall. numberFire's models expect him to record 7.1 points, 5.7 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 0.5 steals, and 1.1 blocks per contest over the remainder of the year.
