Powell will join the starting lineup Friday versus the Raptors, Callie Caplan of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Powell has just one start under his belt so far this season, but he will replace JaVale McGee in the starting unit Friday. He could see some additional work as a result but is far from one of the primary scoring options. However, he did finish in double figures (13 points) in his only other start.
