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

In the three games where Powell has played at least 24 minutes, he averages 11.3 points, 6.7 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 2.3 steals and 1.0 blocks.

Starts second half; scores 18 Powell contributed 18 points (4-6 FG, 10-12 FT), six rebounds, one steal, two blocks and one turnover in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 107-105 victory over Indiana.

Impact Powell collected a DNP-CD on Monday, but with Anthony Davis (leg) exiting Wednesday's game early, Powell was able to re-enter the rotation and he started the second half. If Davis, Dereck Lively (knee) and Daniel Gafford (ankle) all need to miss Saturday's game in Detroit, Powell would likely get the starting nod as the last center standing in Dallas.

Minor role in preseason Powell posted four points (2-2 FT), two rebounds, one assist and two steals in nine minutes during Wednesday's 121-94 preseason win over the Lakers.

Impact Powell averaged 5.5 points and 4.5 rebounds in 14.4 minutes across four preseason games. With Daniel Gafford (ankle) banged up, Powell may be in store for elevated minutes behind Dereck Lively and Anthony Davis to begin the regular season.

Will exercise player option Powell will exercise his $4 million player option for the 2025-26 season, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Impact This isn't an unexpected decision by Powell, who averaged 2.1 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.0 assists over 55 regular-season appearances a season ago. He finds himself surrounded by competition in the frontcourt heading into the 2025-26 campaign and will need to battle with the likes of Kai Jones and Daniel Gafford to earn an uptick in playing time.

Logs 21 minutes in loss Powell had four points (1-2 FG, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals over 21 minutes during Tuesday's 128-113 loss to New York.

Impact Powell delivered another underwhelming performance, scoring single digits for the sixth straight game. In fact, to this point, he has scored double-digits only once all season, averaging 2.2 points and 2.3 rebounds in 10.1 minutes per game.

Back to bench Powell won't start Sunday's game against the 76ers, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Impact With P.J. Washington back in the mix, Dallas will start Naji Marshall, Kessler Edwards and Washington in the frontcourt, sending Powell to a reserve role. Over his last 10 appearances (three starts), Powell has averaged 4.1 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 15.0 minutes per game.

MARCH 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Starting Friday Powell is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against Houston, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Powell will have a minutes restriction Friday, so his fantasy upside will remain limited despite the starting role. The veteran big man has averaged 4.0 points, 2.5 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 0.5 blocks in 16.7 minutes over two games as a starter this season.

MARCH 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Remaining limited Friday Powell is still on a minutes restriction for Friday's game versus the Rockets, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Powell has suited up in each of Dallas' last nine outings after missing 16 straight contests due to a right hip strain. Considering Powell has averaged 14.4 minutes a game over that span, it seems reasonable to assume his playing time will continue to hover around minutes.

MARCH 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Efficient in win Monday Powell ended with nine points (4-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-3 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one block across 21 minutes during Monday's 133-129 victory over the Spurs.

Impact After playing limited minutes in the previous two games for the Mavericks, Powell logged an efficient 21 minutes in Monday's win against the Spurs, connecting on four of his five field-goal attempts. The veteran big man seems to be returning to form with more time on the floor, which is good news for Dallas moving forward.
