Mavericks' Dereck Lively II (neck) available for Game 5 Thursday

Dallas Mavericks center Dereck Lively II (neck) is available to play in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday.

What It Means

Lively suffered a neck injury in Game 3 and subsequently missed Game 4 of the Mavericks' Western Conference Finals series, but will be back on the court tonight as Dallas tries to close it out against the Wolves. He has been averaging 22.4 minutes off the bench per night when healthy this postseason.

Our model projects Lively for 23.2 FanDuel points in tonight's outing, with 7.9 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 1.5 assists.
