Kristaps Porzingis (conditioning) starting for Mavericks Saturday; Dwight Powell to bench
Dallas Mavericks center Kristaps Porzingis will start Saturday in the team's game against the Orlando Magic.
What It Means:
Porzingis had a stint in the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols. He has since tested out, and his conditioning is good enough to play. He'll also immediately start, and in a corresponding move, Dwight Powell will revert to a bench role.
Our models project Porzingis for 15.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 31.0 FanDuel points across 25.0 minutes of action.
