Impact Powell was initially tagged as questionable due to a hip injury, but the veteran big man has been given the green light to play Friday. He's averaged 17.8 minutes per game over his last eight outings (three starts) and should continue to serve in an elevated role due to the absence of Daniel Gafford (shoulder).

APRIL 10 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Friday Powell (hip) is questionable for Friday's game against the Spurs.

Impact Like Marvin Bagley (shoulder), Powell was a late addition to the injury report. If one or both players end up sitting out, the Mavericks may need to rely heavily on Moussa Cisse.

APRIL 10 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting Wednesday Powell won't start Wednesday's game against the Suns, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Powell got the starting nod during Tuesday's loss to the Clippers in place of the injured Daniel Gafford (shoulder), though it'll be Marvin Bagley who enters the first unit Wednesday. Powell has averaged 3.0 points and 4.5 rebounds across 17.5 minutes per tilt over his last four appearances off the bench.

APRIL 9 • ROTOWIRE

Ryan Rollins had 24 points, seven rebounds and nine assists, Kyle Kuzma added 20 points, and the Milwaukee Bucks beat the Dallas Mavericks 123-99 to snap a four-game losing streak

APRIL 1 • Associated Press

Returning to bench Powell isn't in the starting lineup for Monday's game against Minnesota.

Impact Powell started his squad's last two matchups but failed to do much with the opportunity. He'll return to a bench role Monday with Daniel Gafford set to return from a right shoulder sprain.

MARCH 31 • ROTOWIRE

Offers little in spot start Powell logged seven points (1-2 FG, 5-7 FT), four rebounds, one block and one steal across 16 minutes during Wednesday's 142-135 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Powell moved into the starting lineup, replacing Daniel Gafford, who was ruled out with a shoulder injury. Coming into Wednesday's game, Powell had accumulated two straight DNP-CDs, indicating that this game was likely an outlier.

MARCH 26 • ROTOWIRE

Starting against Denver Powell is part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Impact Powell had been out of the rotation for the last two games, but he'll jump into the first unit Wednesday in place of the injured Daniel Gafford (shoulder). Expect Powell to share center duties with Marvin Bagley.

MARCH 26 • ROTOWIRE

Double-doubles in 21 minutes Powell ended Friday's 138-105 loss to Cleveland with 11 points (4-5 FG, 3-3 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and two steals in 21 minutes.

Impact Powell had been mostly out of the rotation the past three games, but with Daniel Gafford taking a rest day and Marvin Bagley getting abused by Evan Mobley, Powell got some time to shine. This was his third double-double of the season, but he'll likely return to being a fringe rotation player Sunday in Cleveland with Gafford expected back for that one.

MARCH 14 • ROTOWIRE

Coming off bench Sunday Powell will come off the bench during Sunday's game against the Raptors, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Powell started Friday's game due to Daniel Gafford (ankle) and Marvin Bagley (neck) being out, but he will return to a bench role Sunday as both Gafford and Bagley are back in the lineup. In his last six games in a reserve role, Powell holds averages of 6.3 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 18.7 minutes per contest.

MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE

Available Sunday Powell (calf) is available for Sunday's game against the Raptors.

Impact Powell found himself on the injury report ahead of Sunday's contest due to a calf injury, but he will be able to play through it. Powell started Friday's game due to Daniel Gafford (ankle) and Marvin Bagley (neck) being sidelined, but he saw just 15 minutes. Now, both Gafford and Bagley are returning to the lineup, which will likely reduce Powell's role.

MARCH 8 • ROTOWIRE

Likely to play Sunday Powell is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Raptors due to right calf tightness.

Impact The calf issue is a new concern for Powell, though he's still likely to suit up Sunday. If Powell is cleared to play and Marvin Bagley (neck), who is listed as questionable, remains sidelined, the former would likely operate as Daniel Gafford's primary backup. Over four March appearances (one start), Powell has averaged 6.3 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 blocks in 20.5 minutes per game.

MARCH 7 • ROTOWIRE

Starting vs. Boston Powell will start against the Celtics on Friday, Sean Grande of NBC Sports Boston reports.

Impact With Daniel Gafford (ankle) and Marvin Bagley (neck) unavailable, Powell will enter the starting five. As a starter this season (seven games), the veteran big man has averaged 6.0 points, 7.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.9 steals in 28.6 minutes per contest.

MARCH 6 • ROTOWIRE

Paces bench in loss Powell recorded 12 points (3-5 FG, 6-8 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal in 26 minutes during Tuesday's 117-90 loss to the Hornets.

Impact With Marvin Bagley (neck) unavailable for a third straight game, Powell saw significant minutes off the bench once again. He led the second unit in points Tuesday, scoring in double figures for the second time over that three-game span. The veteran center is likely to continue seeing 20-plus minutes of action as Daniel Gafford's primary backup for as long as Bagley is sidelined.

Sniffs double-double Powell logged nine points (4-5 FG, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 21 minutes during Sunday's 100-87 loss to the Thunder.

Impact Powell made the most of his 21-minute cameo Sunday and finished just one point and one rebound away from posting a double-double. That said, Powell has played off the bench in his last 12 appearances but is only averaging 10.7 minutes per contest. Even if his last two outings are encouraging, he's not seeing the floor enough to be considered a reliable fantasy alternative even in the deepest formats.

MARCH 2 • ROTOWIRE

Double-double off bench Friday Powell recorded 13 points (3-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 11 rebounds and one assist over 23 minutes off the bench during Friday's 124-105 loss to Memphis.

Impact The veteran center produced his second double-double of the season, with the first coming Jan. 22 against the Warriors. Powell has struggled to get consistent court time even with Dereck Lively (foot) out for the season and Anthony Davis (finger) now in Washington, and Friday's 23 minutes represented his highest workload in February, and only the third time in eight appearances this month he even played double-digit minutes.
