Daniel Gafford Injury: Expected to play

Gafford (ankle) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Knicks.

After missing Monday's loss to the Timberwolves for the second leg of a back-to-back set, the Mavericks are expecting both Gafford and Dereck Lively (knee) to be back in the mix Wednesday. In Sunday's win over the Trail Blazers, Gafford produced 20 points (6-8 FG, 8-10 FT), six rebounds, two assists, three blocks and one steal over 31 minutes.
