Maxi Kleber starting for Mavericks Monday, Tim Hardaway Jr. to bench
The Dallas Mavericks announced that Maxi Kleber will start in his return to the court for Monday's game against the Phoenix Suns, sending Tim Hardaway Jr. to the bench.
What It Means:
Kleber is the last of the Mavericks to come out of the health and safety protocols, and the team stated earlier today that he would be expected to have a minutes limit "hopefully" in the 20's. Kleber's return pushes Hardaway Jr. back to the bench, but with a minutes limit on Kleber we could still see plenty of Hardaway Jr.
Our models currently project Kleber to score 19.1 fantasy points with 8.5 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 1.1 assists. FanDuel has set his salary at $4,100.
