Off injury report
Russell (illness) isn't listed on the injury report for Saturday's game against the Rockets.
Analyse
Russell is set to return to action after sitting out Thursday's loss to Philadelphia due to an illness. The veteran point guard hasn't been a regular part of the rotation of late, so he isn't guaranteed to see meaningful minutes Saturday. Over his last five appearances, Russell has averaged 4.8 points and 2.2 assists while shooting 42.1 percent from the field in 12.6 minutes per game.

Won't play Thursday
Russell (illness) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the 76ers, Noah Weber of TheSmokingCuban.com reports.
Analyse
Russell wasn't able to shake off an illness in time for Thursday night's game and will not be available. He's been in and out of the Dallas rotation this season, but his absence means more minutes will be available for Jaden Hardy and Naji Marshall. Russell's next opportunity to play is Saturday against the Rockets.

Back in rotation Saturday
Russell accumulated seven points (3-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four assists and one steal over 13 minutes during Saturday's 113-107 loss to the Kings.
Analyse
Russell was back in the rotation, albeit for just 13 minutes. With Brandon Williams (calf) sidelined, head coach Jason Kidd was forced to dust off Russell, allowing him to step onto the floor for just the fourth time in the past eight games. It's been a disastrous season for Russell, as he is averaging just 10.2 points, 4.0 assists and 1.3 three-pointers in 25 appearances.
