Nerlens Noel (thumb) will be available Wednesday for Dallas

Dallas Mavericks center Nerlens Noel will be available to play on Wednesday, says head coach Rick Carlisle.

What It Means:

Noel hasn't played since November 22nd. He had suffered a hand injury that required surgery earlier in the year. If he plays, it will be in limited minutes, but he could pick up some steam down the stretch. However, he'll be competing with the likes of Dwight Powell and Salah Mejri.

Our models have Noel down for 52 points, 47 rebounds and 166 minutes the rest of the season.
