Powell won't start against the Timberwolves on Wednesday, Christian Clark of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Daniel Gafford will return to the starting five Wednesday, pushing Powell to the second unit. The veteran big man has averaged 3.0 points and 6.0 rebounds in 16.0 minutes per game over his last five appearances off the bench.

Powell logged 10 points (3-4 FG, 4-5 FT), 12 rebounds and one assist over 27 minutes during Dallas' 123-115 win over Golden State on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Powell led the Mavericks in rebounds Thursday while recording his first double-double of the season (and first since Dec. 28, 2023). The veteran has started in five of the Mavericks' last six games, and he should remain in the starting lineup for as long as Daniel Gafford (ankle) is sidelined. Even when Gafford returns, Powell should have an elevated role off the bench in the absence of Anthony Davis (hand).

Powell is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Jazz.

EDGE Analysis

Powell will be asked to join the starting five with the Mavs missing a good chunk of the starting frontcourt Thursday. He'll presumably tackle a heavier workload than usual with both Daniel Gafford (ankle) and P.J. Washington (ankle) out.

Powell will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against Denver.

EDGE Analysis

Powell made a spot start in place of Daniel Gafford, and he'll return to the bench Wednesday now that Gafford is healthy. Powell and Moussa Cisse should handle backup center duties against the Nuggets.

Powell notched five points (2-2 FG, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds and three assists over 35 minutes during Monday's 113-105 win over the Nets.

EDGE Analysis

Powell was elevated to the starting lineup due to the absences of Anthony Davis (finger) and Daniel Gafford (ankle). Powell ended up playing 35 minutes, his most in a game since Nov. 29 (another spot start). With Davis sidelined indefinitely and Gafford still questionable, Powell may be forced to start again Wednesday against Denver.

Powell will start against the Nets on Monday, Christian Clark of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Anthony Davis (finger) and Daniel Gafford (ankle) both sidelined, Powell will get the starting nod for the second time this season. During his lone start in a win over the Clippers on Nov. 29, the veteran center logged nine points, six steals, five rebounds, three assists and one block in 34 minutes.

Powell (illness) is available for Thursday's game against the Warriors, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Powell has not played in the Mavericks' last four games, the last two of which were due to an illness. He's been cleared to play Christmas Day, though his return shouldn't impact any of the other players in Dallas' rotation.

Powell (illness) is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Warriors.

EDGE Analysis

Powell has not played in the Mavericks' last four games, though his last two absences were due to an illness. He's on track to be available for Christmas Day, though it's unclear whether he'll be in the Mavericks' rotation in Thursday's road game.

Powell is out for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets with an illness, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning Newsreports.

EDGE Analysis

Powell's next chance to return comes Thursday against the Warriors. Anthony Davis is set to play the majority of the center minutes Tuesday, while Daniel Gafford has the backup role all to himself.

Powell is doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets with an illness.

EDGE Analysis

Powell is expected to be downgraded to out at some point prior to Tuesday's tipoff. He's been outside of the Dallas rotation for three consecutive games, so the center minutes are unlikely to be changed by his likely absence.
