Mavericks' Sterling Brown lands in protocols, inactive Friday

Dallas Mavericks shooting guard Sterling Brown (health protocols) has been ruled out for Friday versus the Minnesota Timberwolves.

What It Means:

Brown has landed in the league's health and safety protocols, so he will probably miss more than just Friday's contest. He averaged 16.5 minutes off the bench in the last two games. Josh Green could see an uptick in playing time while Brown is out.

numberFire’s models project Brown for 15.5 minutes and 11.6 FanDuel points, and he has a $3,500 salary on Friday’s seven-game slate.
