Dirk Nowitzki: Probable for Sunday

Nowitzki (knee) has been upgraded to probable for Sunday's game against the Rockets, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Analysis:

After missing Wednesday's outing against the Timberwolves, Nowitzki returned to the starting lineup Friday against the Thunder and notched 14 points in 29 minutes of playing time. His right knee may not be 100 percent healthy, but Nowitzki is fully expected to play in Sunday's game against the Rockets. Look for him to remain in the starting lineup and see minutes similar to what he received Friday, barring any unforeseen setbacks to his knee.
