Dwight Powell News, Rumors, Updates - Dallas Mavericks

Moves to bench Powell will move to the bench for Friday's game against the Rockets, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

Impact The Mavericks will be without Dereck Lively (ankle) again, but they are also missing Luka Doncic (quadriceps), Kyrie Irving (foot), Josh Green (elbow) and Dante Exum (leg). Markieff Morris is starting at center Friday, as the Mavericks are going to need a bit more offense in the first unit.

Nearly double-doubles Powell accumulated eight points (4-6 FG) and eight rebounds across 23 minutes during Monday's 130-104 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Powell drew the start Monday with Dereck Lively sidelined by an ankle issue. Powell is typically a low-usage player with below average steal and block rates, so he won't be a popular grab in fantasy formats even if Lively misses more time.

Plays season-low five minutes Powell provided one assist across five minutes during Wednesday's 104-101 victory over the Lakers.

Impact Powell's playing time has fluctuated throughout the campaign, but this was just the second game over the 14 contests in which he's appeared that he's logged fewer than 10 minutes. The veteran center's inability to get involved Wednesday was particularly surprising with starter Dereck Lively departing in the third quarter after suffering an apparent back injury. Instead of Powell taking over, Richaun Holmes logged a season-high 23 minutes and performed well with four points, 10 boards and a block. Given Powell's lack of impact of late -- he came into Wednesday averaging just 2.3 points and 3.0 boards over 13.8 minutes across his past four games -- there's a chance Holmes begins to see more opportunities in his place.

Actually starting Wednesday Powell will start Wednesday's game against the Raptors, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

Impact A previous report indicated that Maxi Kleber would enter the starting lineup in place of Dereck Lively (illness), it will in fact be Powell starting at the five. In six games, Powell has averaged 6.5 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.3 steals/blocks over 16.0 minutes.

Effective in win Powell finished with 10 points (3-3 FG, 4-6 FT), five rebounds and three assists over 15 minutes during Sunday's 124-118 win over Charlotte.

Impact Powell was perfect from the field and nearly converted numerous and-1 plays. The pick-and-roll in Dallas' offense is beginning to click, which bodes well for Powell's floor.

NOVEMBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Wednesday Powell (illness) will play in Wednesday's game against the Spurs.

Impact After being upgraded to probable earlier Wednesday, Powell will suit up for Wednesday's tilt. He's expected to operate behind Dereck Lively at center.

OCTOBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Upgraded to probable Powell (illness) has been upgraded to probable for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Spurs, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

Impact Powell was initially deemed questionable for Wednesday's matchup, and he's trending in the right direction in the hours leading up to tipoff. If he's available, he should be one of the primary backups at center behind Dereck Lively.

OCTOBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Battling illness Powell (illness) is officially questionable for Wednesday's opener against San Antonio.

Impact Powell's illness was previously unreported, which likely makes it a minor ailment. Dereck Lively, Maxi Kleber and Richaun Holmes would hold down the center position if Powell is inactive Wednesday.

Has Mavs' Dwight Powell Era Reached Its End? With upgrades necessary at the center position for the Mavericks this summer, Dwight Powell’s time in Dallas could be over.

APRIL 28, 2023 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Perfect from field Friday Powell produced 14 points (7-7 FG), five rebounds, two assists and one steal across 20 minutes during Friday's 117-109 loss to the Hornets.

Impact Powell has scored in double digits in three of his last five games, and he was particularly efficient in this one, not missing a single shot from the field. He's scoring just 7.1 points per game this season but has shot a career-high 73.0 percent from the field.

MARCH 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Blows up for 22 points Powell finished Wednesday's 137-128 overtime win over the Spurs with a season-high 22 points (8-8 FG, 6-7 FT) to go with eight rebounds and two assists in 29 minutes.

Impact While Powell made good for anyone with the foresight to stream him or deploy him in DFS, it's difficult to envision him replicating the offensive production anytime soon. Not only was nearly perfect from both the field and the free-throw line, but Powell benefited from a matchup with one of the NBA's worst teams as well as an uptick in usage, with his 18.2 percent rate on the night handily outpacing his season-long rate (12 percent). The absences of all of Kyrie Irving (foot), Luka Doncic (thigh) and Tim Hardaway (calf) left Dallas with few reliable scoring options, and though all three could remain out for Friday's game against the Lakers, Powell is still likely to find himself behind all of Christian Wood, Josh Green, Reggie Bullock and Jaden Hardy in the offensive hierarchy.

Non-existent despite starting role Powell recorded two points (1-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt), five rebounds and three assists over 17 minutes during Monday's 104-88 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Powell continues to start for the Mavericks, although his output says otherwise. Despite starting every game over the past two months, Powell is well outside the top 200 in standard formats, highlighting just how little he has been able to impact games, at least from a production perspective. He can be considered in very deep formats, but as for standard leagues, you need not bother.

Near double-double in win Powell totaled 10 points (5-7 FG, 0-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist and three steals over 27 minutes during Thursday's 142-116 victory over the Spurs.

Impact Powell was one of eight Mavericks to score in double figures Thursday, as Dallas dismantled the Spurs en route to a blowout victory. The veteran big man also grabbed a team-high eight boards and recorded at least three steals in a game for the third time this season. Powell hasn't missed a contest since Dec. 19, and during that stretch, he's averaged 7.9 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.2 steals-plus-blocks in 22.4 minutes across 30 appearances (18 starts).

Grabs team-high 10 boards Powell accumulated eight points (4-4 FG), 10 rebounds, two assists and one steal across 21 minutes during Wednesday's 118-109 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Powell fell under double figures in scoring for the fourth game in a row while taking on his usual low-usage role on offense, but he returned value on the glass, claiming double-digit rebounds for the second time this season. Though he looks as though he'll continue to start at center over Christian Wood, Powell's volatile minutes and inconsistent contributions in most categories make him useful only in deeper leagues.

FEBRUARY 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Double-doubles in win Powell accumulated 12 points (4-5 FG, 4-5 FT), 16 rebounds, two assists and one block over 28 minutes during Monday's 124-111 victory over the Jazz.

Impact Christian Wood (thumb) returned to action following an eight-game absence, but Powell's playing time wasn't affected while Wood was eased back in with an 18-minute workload off the bench. The two big men had been starting alongside one another prior to Wood's injury, but Dallas could prefer to have more of a floor-spacing option like Reggie Bullock as the power forward once both Luka Doncic (heel) and the newly acquired Kyrie Irving are available. Whether the Mavericks eventually settle on Wood or Powell as their starting center or deploy the two alongside one another, Powell likely won't see enough touches on the offensive end or contribute enough in other areas to warrant much intrigue outside of deeper leagues.
