Kristaps Porzingis (knee, rest) sitting out Monday in second leg of Mavericks' back-to-back
Dallas Mavericks forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (knee, rest) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls.
What It Means:
The Mavericks also held Porzingis out of the second leg of their previous four back-to-back sets. He was excellent on Sunday, scoring 38 points with 13 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal, 5 blocks, and 6 3-pointers over 36.9 minutes. Luka Doncic (thumb) is probable after sitting out Sunday, so look for him to be busy on offense. Maxi Kleber could draw a start on Monday. Willie Cauley-Stein and Boban Marjanovic may also see more minutes.
Per numberFire's NBA Heat Map, the Mavericks have an implied total of 114.75 points on Monday's seven-game slate.
