Mavericks' Zaza Pachulia to start, Dwight Powell to bench
Dallas Mavericks center Zaza Pachulia will enter the starting unit on Friday versus the Detroit Pistons, sending Dwight Powell back to the bench.
What It Means:
It's a matchup-based decision for Dallas, as they need Pachulia's size against Andre Drummond. The Mavs may continue to shuffle their lineup for the remainder of the season, but Pachulia's worth a look in deeper leagues for any owner in need of some rebounding.
Pachulia has been solid this season, posting a 3.4 nERD, which ranks 47th. He's averaging 8.9 points, 9.7 rebounds, and 1.7 assists per game, while posting a 54.7 True Shooting Percentage in 69 games played.
