Dirk Nowitzki (rest) likely to play on Saturday for Dallas
Dallas Mavericks forward/center Dirk Nowitzki is likely to play on Saturday against the Houston Rockets, according to the Dallas News' Eddie Sefko.
What It Means:
The Mavericks are in the midst of a six-game, nine-night stretch so the 39-year-old is fully expected to sit a game or two at some point. According to reports, that won't be tonight, meaning Harrison Barnes will play small forward tonight in Houston.
At $5,100, our models have Nowitzki down for 14.0 points, 7.1 rebounds and 27.9 FanDuel points in 28.7 minutes tonight.
