Mavericks' Parsons sits vs. Blazers

Dallas Mavericks forward Chandler Parsons did not play in Sunday's contest against the Portland Trail Blazers due to soreness in his right hamstring.

Parsons sustained the injury during Friday night's loss to the Golden State Warriors.

Following a slow start to the season, the Florida product has been very productive of late, averaging 17.6 points and 5.6 rebounds on 51.7 percent shooting and 44.7 percent from beyond the arc.

With Parsons sitting, Zaza Pachulia will make his return to the starting lineup while Dirk Nowitzki slides back to power forward.
