Kristaps Porzingis (back) questionable for Mavericks Thursday
Dallas Mavericks forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (back) is questionable to play Thursday against the Philadelphia 76ers.
What It Means:
Porzingis sat out a back-to-back at the beginning of the week and he was joined by Maxi Kleber (ankle) on Tuesday. They are both questionable for Thursday's contest. Dwight Powell has started both games in place of Porzingis but he played just 11 minutes on Tuesday. Willie Cauley-Stein and Boban Marjanovic could see more minutes Thursday if Porzingis remains out.
The Mavericks' frontcourt will have a tough matchup on Thursday against a 76ers team that is allowing the fewest FanDuel points per game to the center position and third-fewest to power forwards.
