Out again Sunday
The Scoop: This will be the seventh game in a row on the shelf for Porter, and he remains without a timetable for a return.

Likely out for postseason
The Scoop: Kleber suffered the injury in Friday's Game 6 victory over the Clippers. Barring a quick turnaround, it looks like Dallas will need to start planning to be without him going forward. As a result, Derrick Jones and Josh Green are candidates to see increased roles providing depth behind P.J. Washington at power forward.

Close to double-double in Game 6
The Scoop: Lively was perfect from the field, active on the glass and efficient in limited minutes out there. The rookie has shown he can be a valuable contributor on both ends of the court when called upon duty, but his fantasy upside won't be high if he continues to play off the bench.

Doubtful to return
The Scoop: Barring a quick, surprising turnaround, Kleber is unlikely to return to Friday's contest. Given the nature of the injury, a potential Game 7 on Sunday could be up in the air as well. In his absence, Derrick Jones could see some extra minutes providing depth at power forward.

Moves to bench
The Scoop: P.J. Tucker is getting the nod with the first unit, and it's not a huge surprise. Coffey has been struggling in this series, posting averages of 3.0 points on 28.6 percent shooting from the field.

Prosper (ankle) won't play in Friday's Game 6 against the Clippers.
The Scoop: Prosper's absence streak will extend to four games Friday due to a. left ankle sprain. However, the rookie forward is unlikely to be a significant factor in Dallas' playoff rotation when healthy.

Porter (ankle) won't play in Friday's Game 6 against the Magic.
The Scoop: Porter will miss his sixth straight contest Friday due to a left ankle sprain. However, Porter is unlikely to crack Cleveland's playoff rotation when healthy.

Brown contributed no counting stats over six minutes during Wednesday's 123-93 loss to Dallas in Game 5 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

Lively racked up 12 points (5-5 FG, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one block over 25 minutes during Wednesday's 123-93 win over the Clippers in Game 5 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
The Scoop: Lively was a perfect 5-of-5 from the field, outplaying Daniel Gafford despite coming off the bench. The Mavericks have the luxury of being able to lean on both players equally, providing them flexibility when one is outplaying the other. Lively and Gafford will once again be front and center when the two teams line up again Friday.
