Mavericks' J.J. Barea (rib) questionable to play Friday
Dallas Mavericks point guard J.J. Barea is considered questionable for Friday's game against the Toronto Raptors.
What It Means:
According to Mavs.com's Dwain Price, coach Rick Carlisle said the injury is left rib strain. He suffered it during Tuesday's game, but as to his availability tomorrow Carlisle said, "I don't know that he's going to miss the game tomorrow." With the Mavericks out of the hunt and looking for a top pick ,it wouldn't be surprising to see him sit though. That would allow Dennis Smith and Yogi Ferrell to play more minutes.
If he's in, we project Barea for 23.6 minutes and 23.9 FanDuel points in Friday's game.
