In Monday’s game against the Timberwolves, both Daniel Gafford and Dereck Lively II will be sidelined due to ankle and knee injuries, respectively. As Dallas manages their roster through a back-to-back stretch, Moussa Cisse, Dwight Powell, and P.J. Washington are expected to step up in their absence, with Washington being the most promising option. The team anticipates Gafford and Lively returning for their upcoming matchup with New York on Wednesday.
