The Dallas Mavericks will play the Sacramento Kings on the road in a Monday night affair, but is Dereck Lively II playing? Lively did not play in the Mavericks’ 126-122 loss against the Portland Trail Blazers on Saturday or the Mavs’ 98-89 victory against the Phoenix Suns on Friday due to a left hip contusion.

Jason Kidd said prior to tipoff in Phoenix that center Dereck Lively II will be out Friday with a left hip contusion. Lively has played in 25 of the Mavericks’ 30 games this season, having missed a four-game stretch earlier this season with a shoulder sprain.
