Mavericks' Nerlens Noel: Will start at center Tuesday
Noel will start at center in Tuesday's game against the Kings, Mike Peasley of 103.3 ESPN FM reports.
Analysis:
Dirk Nowitzki (Achilles) is sitting out the front end of the back-to-back set, so the Mavericks will go with a bigger lineup featuring Nerlens Noel in the middle. Along with Nowitzki, the Mavericks are set to be without both Wesley Matthews (rest) and Seth Curry (shoulder), so Noel could be utilized more than usual on the offensive end.
