Powell stepping up for Mavs as road trip rolls to Sacramento

Dwight Powell is supposed to be a role player, an offensive filler in a Dallas Mavericks attack led by Luka Doncic. However, the 28-year-old forward has been much more than that over the past six games, and he looks to notch another big outing when the Mavericks visit the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday night. Powell shot 9-for-9 and scored 21 points in 24 minutes on Tuesday as Dallas routed the host Golden State Warriors 124-97.
