Dallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively II will not play Saturday in the team's game against the New Orleans Pelicans.
Lively was downgraded to doubtful to play, so this comes as no surprise. He'll remain sidelined due to a sprained left ankle. Expect another start for Dwight Powell.
Our models project Powell for 8.9 points, 6.2 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 22.2 FanDuel points across 25.4 minutes of action.
