Dwight Powell

Dwight Powell flirted with a double-double for the Mavericks Tuesday night, grabbing nine rebounds and scoring 22 points (8-12 FG, 6-7 FT) while also dishing out one assist, recording one steal, and blocking one shot in a 127-126 loss to the Wizards.

Fantasy Impact

Powell has reached double-figures in scoring and grabbed more than four rebounds in two of his last five games for the Mavericks, averaging 10.6 points and 5.0 rebounds in 25.4 minutes per game in that span. The veteran has offered minimal consistent production for fantasy owners to this point however, averaging just 6.5 points and 3.9 rebounds to go along with a less than optimal 12.1% usage rate in 18.5 minutes per game so far this season.

Dwight Powell is expected to be available on Wednesday against the Timberwolves.

Fantasy Impact

Powell looks to be returning from his two-game absence. It will be interesting to see if he returns to his starting role or if Christian Wood remains the starter. The Mavericks may want to keep Wood in the starting lineup or they may want to bring his spark off the bench.

Dwight Powell (thigh) is uncertain for Dallas' matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Powell had to miss Monday's game due to a thigh contusion, and it's jeopardizing his availability for Wednesday as well. The team will likely make a decision about his availability closer to game time, and he may be in line for more work if he plays with Dorian Finney-Smith (adductor) already having been ruled out.

Fantasy Impact

Powell is dealing with a thigh issue of some kind that will leave him sidelined on Monday. It's unclear when he will be well enough to return, and the team hopes it will be sooner rather than later. Davis Bertans may be in line for a few extra minutes while Powell is out against Minnesota.

Fantasy Impact

With Powell sidelined on Saturday, Christian Wood saw the spot start which would be the case again if Powell remains sidelined.
