Maxi Kleber (hamstring) could return Tuesday for Mavericks
Dallas Mavericks power forward Maxi Kleber (right hamstring tear) could return to the lineup on Tuesday against the Indiana Pacers, per NBA reporter Marc Stein.
What It Means:
Kleber hasn't suffered any setbacks since returning to practice last week, so he seems to have a solid chance of suiting up on Tuesday for the first time since December 12. The Mavericks may put a cap on Kleber's initial playing time, but his return could knock Reggie Bullock out of the starting lineup and also cut into production for Christian Wood and Dwight Powell.
Kleber is averaging 15.3 FanDuel points in 25.6 minutes per game this season. When Kleber is inactive, Wood averages a Mavericks-high 10.0 additional FanDuel points per contest (36.6).
