Maxi Kleber (ankle) available for Mavericks versus 76ers
Dallas Mavericks power forward Maxi Kleber (left ankle sprain) is available to play on Thursday versus the Philadelphia 76ers.
What It Means:
Kleber will likely return to the starting lineup in place of James Johnson after sitting out last game. His fellow starting frontcourt mate, Kristaps Porzingis, will remain out for a third consecutive contest. Kleber has scored single digits in five straight games but he is averaging 5.7 boards over the last three.
numberFire’s models project Kleber for 19.2 FanDuel points versus the 76ers and he has a salary of $3,900 on Thursday’s six-game slate. Philly is allowing the fourth-fewest FanDuel points per game to the power forward position this season.
