DALLAS (CBSMiami/SportsDirect) – The Miami Heat will take their recent string of success on the road and face an up-and-coming center trying to make a name for himself.
Nerlens Noel was openly critical of the Philadelphia 76ers’ plan of keeping three or more centers on the roster and sharing time among the highly-touted big men, and he is finally getting a chance to make some noise on his own.
Noel will try to continue a hot start with his new team when the Dallas Mavericks host the Miami Heat on Monday.
Noel was sent from Philadelphia to the Mavericks in front of Thursday’s deadline and delivered nine points and 10 rebounds in 30 minutes off the bench in his team debut on Saturday – a 96-83 win over the New Orleans Pelicans.
