D'Angelo Russell

After logging 23 minutes off the bench in Saturday's loss to the Lakers, Williams is dealing with a sore right knee. His absence would likely lead to more playing time for Ryan Nembhard, who played only four minutes against the Lakers. D'Angelo Russell may also see some action after picking up a DNP-CD.

A late scratch for Dallas' January 17 game against the Jazz, Russell also sat out Monday's win over the Knicks. His availability may affect Ryan Nembhard, who is still on a two-way contract. If the Mavericks make the undrafted rookie inactive, there will be rotation minutes for Russell. That said, there's no need to roster him.
