Mavericks' Dereck Lively: Blows up with double-double
Lively ended with 21 points (9-13 FG, 3-3 FT), 15 rebounds, one assist and three blocks in 35 minutes during Thursday's 117-111 victory over the Trail Blazers.
Lively held down the frontcourt effectively, racking up a great line while containing Deandre Ayton's production. Donovan Clingan has a bit more success against Lively, but the 2023 first-round pick was nonetheless impressive. Daniel Gafford managed only 10 minutes during Thursday's win, so it appears that Lively is strengthening his hold on the starting job.

Mavericks' Dereck Lively: Efficient double-double in loss
Lively dropped 14 points (7-11 FG), grabbed 12 boards, blocked three shots and dished one assist in 33 minutes of play during Monday's 119-104 loss to the Grizzlies.
The sophomore big man recorded his sixth double-double of the season and tied his second-highest marks for blocks and assists while he was at it. In his five games previous, Lively had averaged 7.2 points and 8.4 boards. He'll look to keep building on Monday's performance against the Lakers on Tuesday.

Mavericks' Dereck Lively: Full-go against Cleveland
Lively won't have a minutes restriction in Friday's game versus the Cavaliers, Christian Clark of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Mavericks' Dereck Lively: Well-rounded line in return
Lively (hip) finished with eight points (4-5 FG), six rebounds, six assists, four blocks and one steal across 20 minutes Wednesday in the Mavericks' 110-99 loss to the Rockets.
Though he took back his usual spot in the starting five in his return from a three-game absence due to a left hip contusion, Lively ended up seeing lighter minutes than usual while Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd deployed a deep center rotation that included Daniel Gafford, Dwight Powell and Maxi Kleber. Powell likely won't be featured in the rotation moving forward, while Kleber could be needed to play more minutes at power forward after P.J. Washington (knee) sat out the entire second half of Wednesday's contest. With that in mind, expect Lively's playing time to pick up as he becomes further removed from the hip injury, and despite getting more limited run than usual against the Rockets, the second-year big man was still able to come away with a solid all-around fantasy line.

Mavericks' Dereck Lively: Top rebounds in double-double
Lively racked up 11 points (5-6 FG, 1-1 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists, two blocks and two steals across 28 minutes during Saturday's 113-97 victory over the Clippers.

Mavericks' Dereck Lively: Pulls down 13 rebounds
Lively registered five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 FT), 13 rebounds, five assists and one block in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 118-104 loss to Oklahoma City.
Lively was moved to the bench for the start of the second half in favor of Daniel Gafford, but the former still saw a much larger workload. Lively recorded at least five assists for the third time in his career and posted double-digit rebounds for the seventh time this season. He's on pace to record 10th-round value in nine-category formats for the season due to efficient shooting with strong rebounding and shot-blocking.

Mavericks' Dereck Lively: Strong double-double in return
Lively closed Tuesday's 121-116 victory over Memphis with 17 points (7-10 FG, 3-7 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and three blocks in 32 minutes.
Lively returned from a one-game absence, playing a season-high 32 minutes. He also recorded a season-best 17 points, tallying his fourth double-double. Although the Mavericks have a more than capable backup in Daniel Gafford, there is a chance coach Jason Kidd is now prepared to lean into Lively a little more. While both should continue to play meaningful roles, Lively is the logical choice to be given the majority of the minutes given his trajectory.
