He probably won't play in the series but the Mavs need similar or better production from Gafford/Lively to have a chance. Cannot get completly destroyed in the center matchup. Best case scenario is obviously what Powell did in the win against the T'Wolves. Draw fouls on Gobert and Towns and limit their time on the floor.
I agree that we should start Dwight Powell if that's what you're suggesting.
Seriously, I don't think this will be a good series for Daniel Gafford and I'm a huge Gafford supporter.
I think Lively needs to start and I would consider playing Powell over Gafford if Gafford struggles to cover Naz and KAT from deep.
