Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) is listed as probable to play Wednesday against the Atlanta Hawks.

Doncic will always be the focal point on offense on this team and he's one of the most reliable fantasy assets in the league. |

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) will make his return from a one-game absence to face the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday. Doncic missed last game due to ankle soreness but was in no danger of missing another given his probable tag. Doncic should not have any limitations but may see some maintenance days moving forward if his ankle continues to cause discomfort. Reggie Bullock will likely return to the bench and lose most of his short-lived fantasy value. |

Sun Jan 8 2023 | 14:43 | Luka Doncic Unavailable On Sunday |
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. This doesn't come as a surprise considering Doncic played through his ankle injury on Saturday. Afterwards, Doncic mentioned his left ankle was very sore. The Mavericks are going to be cautious and hold Doncic out of the second leg of this back-to-back set. Spencer Dinwiddie and Tim Hardaway Jr. should see bigger roles with Doncic on the sideline. Both of them have streaming appeal while Doncic is off the court. |

Sun Jan 8 2023 | 07:54 | Luka Doncic Gets Going Again With A Triple-Double |
Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic was back in form Saturday against New Orleans, leading the charge with 34 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. Following Thursday's poor performance against Boston, Doncic shot 10-for-23 from the field and helped his team to a 127-117 victory. He nailed three shots from deep with six attempts and was 11-for-15 at the foul line. Doncic's work included one block in 39 minutes, but he also matched a season high with seven turnovers. Luckily, his carelessness with the ball didn't do a lot of damage for fantasy teams as Doncic provided a 30-point triple-double. He now has nine triple-doubles of the season. Doncic might have to wait for his chance to get his 10th triple-double, as he has said that he is dealing with a sore ankle and Dallas might want him to give it rest on Sunday when the team returns to the court against the Thunder. |

Tue Jan 3 2023 | 08:11 | Luka Doncic Provides Another Big Line Against Houston |
Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic made the Rockets feel miserable for the second time in less than a week, producing 39 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists in a 111-106 win. He had a 35-point triple-double against Houston last week and went close to one again, even with some horrible shooting -- Doncic was only 1-for-9 from deep and 10-for-26 overall from the field. The Slovenian superstar was able to provide his scoring numbers a big boost with 18-for-22 shooting at the free-throw line. Doncic must be wishing that he could face the Rockets every night, as he averaged 41.3 points, 10.7 rebounds and 10.3 assists against them this season. He will see the Celtics next, against whom Doncic had 42 points in the first meeting of the season. |

Sat Dec 31 2022 | 12:51 | Luka Doncic Probable On Saturday |
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Spurs. The 2015 Rookie of the Year has averaged a triple-double in his last five outings while leading the Mavs to a five-game winning streak. With Dallas looking to keep moving up the standings in the Western Conference, Doncic will likely do what it takes to get on the floor. However, if Jason Kidd decides to rest him, Spencer Dinwiddie and Christian Wood will be asked to do the heavy lifting on offense. |

Mon Dec 19 2022 | 15:03 | Luka Doncic Upgraded To Probable |
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (quad) has been upgraded to probable for Monday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The star guard was listed as questionable on Sunday, but has been upgraded since then. Doncic has been dealing with a lingering quad injury, but appears to be doing better now. Kemba Walker is expected to move to the bench and would see significantly less minutes with Doncic healthy. Spencer Dinwiddie would be the primary backup guard to Doncic. |

Sun Dec 18 2022 | 19:25 | Luka Doncic Questionable On Monday |
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (quadriceps) is questionable for Monday's meeting with Minnesota. The 23-year-old didn't play in Saturday's loss to Cleveland because of a right quad strain, allowing Kemba Walker to log 42 minutes and finish with 32 points. If Doncic misses another one, Walker will probably get another crack at the starting lineup. Considering how well he played versus the Cavs, he deserves fantasy consideration in all formats. |

Doncic does it all on a nightly basis and is among the league leaders in scoring and assists. Only a few teams can slow him down, but the Mavericks star generally still fills the stat sheet. |

The superstar guard played 37 minutes on Friday before sitting out of Saturday's loss to the Chicago Bulls. The expectation is that Doncic will return on Monday after having a rest day.

Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic (quadriceps) won't be in the lineup Saturday against Chicago. The team is completing a back-to-back set and Doncic is sitting out the game. Dallas has him on the injury report with a right quadriceps strain, but it should simply be a rest day for the MVP candidate, who killed it again Friday versus Milwaukee with 33 points and 11 assists. Doncic's absence will give Spencer Dinwiddie a big lift and others should benefit as well, with more shots to go around for everyone involved. |

Tue Dec 6 2022 | 08:18 | Luka Doncic Stuffs The Stat Sheet In Just 29 Minutes |
Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic logged only 29 minutes in Monday's blowout victory over Phoenix, but that didn't keep him from filling the stat sheet. He led all scorers with 33 points on 12-for-20 shooting and recorded six rebounds, eight assists, one steal and two blocks. The league's top scorer went 4-for-9 with the three-ball and finished 5-for-7 at the charity stripe. Doncic has looked incredible all season and seems destined for MVP honors. He is averaging 33.4 points per game with 8.5 rebounds and 8.5 assists. His 34 percent three-point shooting could still use some work, but Doncic is making over half of his shots overall from the field, so he has still been efficient. |

Thu Dec 1 2022 | 19:46 | Luka Doncic Continues Dominant Scoring Versus Pistons |
The Detroit Pistons' lowly 5-18 record isn't the only thing the Dallas Mavericks looked forward to seeing Thursday night. Point guard Luka Doncic averages the most points for his career when facing the lottery-bound team. After scoring 32.4 points in five contests, Doncic continued the dominant theme by posting 14 first-quarter points in Thursday's match. Although the Pistons are without Cade Cunningham, the Mavericks have won the last five matchups. If the Pistons keep it close, expect a spectacular stat line from Doncic. Fantasy managers of the Mavericks star are in for a treat when they check his stats. |
