Mavericks' Nerlens Noel: Questionable Monday vs. Raptors

Noel (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Raptors, Earl K. Sneed of Mavs.com reports.

Analysis:

Coach Rick Carlisle expressed some optimism a day earlier that Noel would be able to return from a two-game absence Monday, but the big man's availability won't be known until team trainers have a chance to evaluate him in morning shootaround. Dwight Powell and Salah Mejri have seen expanded roles off the bench the last two contests while Noel has been out.
