Dwight Powell starting for Dallas Saturday in place of injured Kristaps Porzingis
Dallas Mavericks forward Dwight Powell is in the lineup Saturday in the team's game against the Washington Wizards.
What It Means:
Powell has been coming off the bench lately, but that's changing on Saturday. Kristaps Porzingis will miss at least the next two days due to an injury, leaving a hole in the starting five. As such, Powell will now be elevated into a starting role.
Our models project Powell for 5.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 16.4 FanDuel points across 22.0 minutes of action.
