Haynes: Dereck Lively II (neck) out Tuesday vs MIN

Chris Haynes on Twitter

According to TNT's Chris Haynes, Dereck Lively II (neck sprain) will not play in Tuesday's Game 4 against the Timberwolves.

Analysis: While Lively was listed as doubtful on the Mavericks' initial injury report for Game 4, Haynes reports that the rookie center will not play. Lively's absence frees up minutes behind starting center Daniel Gafford. Dwight Powell played a few minutes off the bench during the second half of Game 3, and he'll likely be in the rotation on Tuesday. Another potential option is Maxi Kleber, who is questionable after missing three weeks with a separated shoulder. Neither Powell nor Kleber (if he plays) will be a good DFS option for Game 4.

Dereck Lively II (neck) doubtful for Game 4 Tues.

NBA Injury Report

Dereck Lively II (neck sprain) is doubtful for Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves.

Analysis: Lively injured his neck during the second quarter of Sunday's Game 3 victory and did not return. While Dwight Powell re-entered the rotation in the second half, starter Daniel Gafford played most of the available minutes. The Mavericks could also have Maxi Kleber at their disposal, as he is questionable after missing time with a separated shoulder.
