Salah Mejri

Salah Mejri officially ruled out for Monday as Mavericks do battle in Game 5

Dallas Mavericks center Salah Mejri (hip) will not play against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday night.

What It Means:

With Mejri and David Lee (foot) out tonight, the Mavs will likely get a little bit of the JaVale McGee Experience to fight for their playoff lives. Zaza Pachulia will likely get over 30 minutes during this game and could be a value play for DFS.

Mejri had an encouraging rookie campaign, averaging 11.3 points per-36 minutes on a 63.6 True Shooting Percentage while sporting a 17.0 percent Total Rebound Rate in the regular season. His 1.0 nERD ranked 70th in the league. Mejri has averaged 4.8 points and 3.3 rebounds in 19.0 minutes per game during the series.
