Mavericks' Nerlens Noel: Will start Thursday
Noel will draw the start at center for Thursday's matchup against the Clippers.
Analysis:
Noel has only averaged 20.0 minutes per game over his past four games -- providing 8.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.0 blocks, and 0.5 steals per game. That being said, the fact that he's in the starting lineup Thursday may indicate he's in line for a slight bump in usage. Regardless, the move will send Yogi Ferrell to the bench.
