Powell chipped in two points (0-1 FG, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists and three steals across 34 minutes during Saturday's 118-108 loss to the Pelicans.
Powell has made five consecutive starts with Dereck Lively (ankle) sidelined, and he's logging 27.6 minutes per game after averaging just 14.4 minutes through 32 contests prior. Powell's eight assists Saturday matched a career-best total and led the Mavericks. Quietly delivering 5.3 points, 6.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.3 steals across his last nine games, Powell is a strong supporting piece to Dallas' top unit, but he provides more value from a real-life standpoint than he does for fantasy purposes.
