Maxi Kleber - Unlikely to play FridayKleber is doubtful for Friday's game versus the Clippers due to a right small toe dislocation.
ImpactKleber played just 15 minutes Wednesday after missing the previous three games with a toe injury and is likely headed toward another absence against the Clippers. With Dereck Lively (illness) questionable, Dwight Powell could be in store for a heavy workload.

Dereck Lively II - Questionable FridayLively (illness)is questionable for Friday's matchup against the Clippers.
ImpactAn illness prevented the rookie from suiting up Wednesday against the Raptors, prompting Dwight Powell to start at center. The Mavericks could certainly use Lively's size against opposing big man Ivica Zubac. Lively's workload and production has fluctuated this season, but he's worth rostering in 14-team formats and probably 12-team formats, especially if two starting centers are required.
