Will play Friday Kleber (toe) will be available to play Friday against the Celtics.

Impact Kleber sat out the second leg of a back-to-back Wednesday, but he'll be back in action Friday night and he should be ready to resume his usual workload in the mid-20s. With Kleber back in the rotation, Daniel Gafford will likely see his minutes dip.

FEBRUARY 29 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Kleber will rest on the second leg of this back-to-back, but there's a decent chance he'll return for Friday's game in Boston. Expect some extra minutes for Derrick Jones and P.J. Washington with Kleber watching from the sidelines.

Doubtful for Wednesday Kleber (toe, nose) is doubtful for Wednesday's game versus Toronto.

FEBRUARY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Tuesday Kleber (nose) is active for Tuesday's game versus Cleveland.

Another probable tag Kleber (nose) is listed as probable for Sunday's game versus the Pacers.

Tagged as probable for Monday Kleber (toe) will be listed as probable for Monday's game against the Wizards, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

Impact Kleber has been a regular on Dallas injury reports throughout February, but he has yet to miss any games this month while being listed with a right small toe dislocation as well as a nasal fracture. The 32-year-old made his fifth straight start in Saturday's 146-111 win over the Thunder, finishing with 12 points, 12 rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block in 25 minutes. With the Mavericks already ruling out Dereck Lively (nose) for Monday's contest, Kleber could start again and will likely be in store for a split of the minutes at center with the newly acquired Daniel Gafford.

Set to play Saturday Kleber (toe) is available for Saturday's game versus the Thunder, Brett Dawson of SelloutCrowd.com reports.

Impact Kleber has dealt with a dislocated toe recently but has been available for the last seven games. During that time, he's averaged 7.6 points, 2.6 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 24.4 minutes per game. However, he could see his role decline if P.J.

Available for Thursday Kleber (toe) will be available to play Thursday against the Knicks.

Impact With Dereck Lively (nose) still out and Grant Williams heading to Charlotte, Kleber should remain a starter and get all the run he can handle. However, he's not the most consistent producer, so there are likely better streaming options available on Thursday's nine-game slate.

Impact Kleber will suit up for his sixth consecutive game, and he has logged at least 27 minutes in his last two appearances -- both of which have been starts. Dereck Lively (nose) remains sidelined Tuesday, so Kleber's size and spacing ability could be leaned on against opposing center Nicolas Claxton.

FEBRUARY 6 • ROTOWIRE

Impact Kleber racked up 14 points (6-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt), four rebounds, five assists and one block in 27 minutes during Monday's 118-102 win over the 76ers and will likely play in the second half of Dallas' back-to-back set Tuesday. When healthy, Kleber is an important rotational piece for the Mavericks.
