Dallas won the first round and the conference semi-finals in six games. Luka Doncic and the Mavericks are trying to close out the Timberwolves. On Tuesday, Dallas lost Game 4 and a chance to sweep Minnesota. They still have a 3-1 series lead heading into Game 5.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In Game 3, rookie center Dereck Lively took an inadvertent knee to the back of the head from Karl-Anthony Towns. Lively missed Game 4 with a neck injury and the Mavs missed his presence down low. According to NBA insider Shams Charania, Lively will be a game-time decision tonight. He has a 50\/50 chance to play in Game 5 vs. the Timberwolves.<\/p>\n<h2>Dereck Lively being able to play would be massive for the Mavs as they try and close out this series<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">\u201cDereck Lively will be a game-time decision tonight\u2026 It\u2019s really trending toward a 50\/50 chance that he plays\u201d<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ShamsCharania?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@ShamsCharania<\/a> with the latest on Lively dealing with a neck sprain<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Mavs?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Mavs<\/a> at <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Timberwolves?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Timberwolves<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/ZcKIpK7CdN\">pic.twitter.com\/ZcKIpK7CdN<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Run It Back (@RunItBackFDTV) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RunItBackFDTV\/status\/1796186497017635170?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 30, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\nWith the 12th pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, the <a href=\"https:\/\/sportslens.com\/news\/mavericks-maxi-kleber-is-set-to-return-for-game-4-of-the-western-conference-finals\/\">Dallas Mavericks<\/a> selected big man Dereck Lively II out of Duke. The seven-foot-one center has been a special player for Dallas, specifically in the postseason. Dallas rolls out of a one-two-punch of Daniel Gafford and Dereck Lively who split time at center. Lively has played in 15 games for the Mavs this postseason, all off the bench. He&#8217;s averaging (8.5) points, (7.1) rebounds, (1.5) assists, and (1.1) blocks.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in the day, Dereck Livley did a 10-minute workout post-shootaround to test his neck. It was the first time he jumped or sprinted since the injury in Game 3 last Sunday. Lively told the media that he&#8217;s not sure how much he can do. The training staff will look for red flags throughout the day. Ultimately, Lively is going to be a game-time decision. Media members were surprised when Lively did not enter concussion protocol. However, the 20-year-old has a chance to play in Game 5 tonight to help Dallas punch their ticket to the NBA Finals.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Dereck Lively (neck sprain) is questionable to play Game 5 but is one the court during the Dallas Mavericks\u2019 shootaround at Target Center. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/eiN1Auh90E\">pic.twitter.com\/eiN1Auh90E<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Grant Afseth (@GrantAfseth) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GrantAfseth\/status\/1796202546056343993?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 30, 2024<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\nAlong with Lively, All-NBA PG Luka Doncic is questionable to play in Game 5. He&#8217;s dealing with a sprained knee and lingering ankle soreness. Doncic has been questionable for several games this postseason. However, he hasn&#8217;t missed a game for Dallas. They cannot afford for Luka not to play. The 25-year-old is widely regarded as the best player left in the 2024 postseason. That includes anyone on the Celtics. Luka Doncic will likely play in Game 5 but we&#8217;ll have to wait and see if Dereck Lively can suit up or not.<\/p>\n<p>From <a href=\"https:\/\/sportslens.com\/\">Sportslens.com &#8211; NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB News, Rumors &amp; Betting Picks<\/a><\/p>\n\n<h2><b>Commercials Cooperation Advertisements:<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p><br>(1) IT Teacher IT Freelance<br> <\/p>\r\n<a href=https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress><img src=http:\/\/gamefootballmobileanimeiphone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/ITTeacherITFreelance-Website.png alt=IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 java\u88dc\u7fd2 \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2,IT freelance, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b, PHP\u88dc\u7fd2,CSS\u88dc\u7fd2,XML,Java\u88dc\u7fd2,MySQL\u88dc\u7fd2,graphic design\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e2d\u5c0f\u5b78ICT\u88dc\u7fd2,\u4e00\u5c0d\u4e00\u79c1\u4eba\u88dc\u7fd2\u548cFreelance\u81ea\u7531\u5de5\u4f5c\u914d\u5c0d\u3002\/><\/a><p><a href=https:\/\/itteacheritfreelance.hk\/wordpress\/index.php\/findteacher>\u7acb\u523b\u8a3b\u518a\u53ca\u5831\u540d\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2\u8ab2\u7a0b\u5427! <\/a><br>\r\n\r\n\u7535\u5b50\u8ba1\u7b97\u673a -\u6559\u80b2 -IT \u96fb\u8166\u73ed\u201d ( IT\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2 ) \u63d0\u4f9b\u4e00\u500b\u65b9\u4fbf\u7684\u7535\u5b50\u8ba1\u7b97\u673a \u6559\u80b2\u5e73\u53f0, \u70ba\u5927\u5bb6\u914d\u5c0d\u4fe1\u606f\u6280\u672f, \u96fb\u8166 \u8001\u5e2b, IT freelance \u548c programming expert. \u8b93\u5927\u5bb6\u65b9\u4fbf\u5730\u5c31\u80fd\u627e\u5230\u5408\u9069\u7684\u96fb\u8166\u88dc\u7fd2, \u96fb\u8166\u73ed, \u5bb6\u6559, \u79c1\u4eba\u8001\u5e2b.  <br>\r\n\r\nWe are a education and information platform which you can find a IT private tutorial teacher or freelance. <br>\r\n\r\nAlso we provide different information about information technology, Computer, programming, mobile, Android, apple, game, movie, anime, animation\u2026 \r\n<\/p>\n<p><br>(2) ITSec<br> <\/p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.vip><img src=http:\/\/gamefootballmobileanimeiphone.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/ITSec-Main-Promotion-Image.png alt= https:\/\/itsec.vip\/\r\nSecure Your Computers from Cyber Threats and mitigate risks with professional services to defend Hackers.  \r\nITSec provide IT Security and Compliance Services, including IT Compliance Services, Risk Assessment, IT Audit, Security Assessment and Audit, ISO 27001 Consulting and Certification, GDPR Compliance Services, Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), Penetration test, Ethical Hacking, Vulnerabilities scan, IT Consulting, Data Privacy Consulting, Data Protection Services, Information Security Consulting, Cyber Security Consulting, Network Security Audit, Security Awareness Training.\/><\/a> \r\n<br><br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.vip>www.ITSec.vip<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/sraa.com.hk>www.Sraa.com.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itsec.hk>www.ITSec.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/penetrationtest.hk>www.Penetrationtest.hk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\n<p><a href=https:\/\/itseceu.uk>www.ITSeceu.uk<\/a> <br> <br> \r\nSecure Your Computers from Cyber Threats and mitigate risks with professional services to defend Hackers. <br><br>\r\nITSec provide IT Security and Compliance Services, including IT Compliance Services, Risk Assessment, IT Audit, Security Assessment and Audit, ISO 27001 Consulting and Certification, GDPR Compliance Services, Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), Penetration test, Ethical Hacking, Vulnerabilities scan, IT Consulting, Data Privacy Consulting, Data Protection Services, Information Security Consulting, Cyber Security Consulting, Network Security Audit, Security Awareness Training. \r\n<br><br>Contact us right away. <br><br>Email (Prefer using email to contact us): <br>SalesExecutive@ITSec.vip<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sportslens.com\/news\/mavericks-dereck-lively-has-a-50-50-chance-to-play-in-game-5-of-the-western-conference-finals\/\">Mavericks\u2019 Dereck Lively has a 50\/50 chance to play in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals<\/a> &#8211; originally posted on <a href=\"https:\/\/sportslens.com\/\">Sportslens.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Before the 2024 playoffs began, not many analysts picked the Dallas Mavericks to be in the Conference Finals.
