The Dallas Mavericks have upgraded guard Luka Doncic (nose) from probable to available for Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Doncic continues to battle through a broken nose, having not sat out since Jan. 31.

Doncic has played in each of the last nine games, and it's safe to assume he will remain in the lineup on Tuesday. The NBA's leading scorer will enter Tuesday's battle following a 74-point effort across his last two appearances. Doncic remains a regular triple-double treat as well, and he posted a 39-7-6 line in his first meeting with Cleveland this season.

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (nose) is probable for Sunday's matchup with Indiana. He took an inadvertent shot to the face before the All-Star break and has made routine appearances on the injury report ever since.

As expected, the 24-year-old has had an MVP-caliber season, averaging a career-high 34.2 points with 9.5 assists, 8.8 boards, and 1.4 steals. He's also shot 37.5% from deep, his best mark since entering the league in 2018. Doncic suffered a nose injury before the All-Star break thanks to an inadvertent elbow from Kyrie Irving. However, he should be good to go, which is certainly welcome news for fantasy managers.

As expected, Doncic will play after being listed as probable on the injury report. The 24-year-old has been dealing with a broken nose, but it hasn't slowed him down. Doncic is coming off a solid 32-point performance during their last game. Fantasy managers should make sure they have Doncic back in their lineups on Monday.

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (nose) is listed as probable heading into Monday's matchup versus the Washington Wizards. The All-Star has been banged up all year. However, his latest ailment, a broken nose, shouldn't keep him out of the lineup on Monday night. Doncic continues to make a difference for fantasy managers, and he's coming off an impressive 32-point, nine-assist, eight-rebound performance on Saturday against Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder. But if Doncic he can't suit up, Kyrie Irving (thumb) should handle most of the work at the one, assuming he's cleared to play.

Fantasy managers can feel safe plugging Doncic back into their lineups on Thursday.

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (nose) is expected to play on Thursday versus the New York Knicks. The 24-year-old took an inadvertent elbow to the face from Kyrie Irving during Sunday's game in Philadelphia. He was able to play on Tuesday and began the game with a protective face covering. However, he quickly got rid of it, and it's apparent his nose wasn't giving him any problems, considering he finished with 35 points, 18 rebounds, and nine assists. Nonetheless, there's still a chance Doncic won't play, although he'll likely be out there. But if he isn't, Kyrie Irving (thumb) will take over duties at the one, with Josh Green and Tim Hardaway Jr. in line to benefit the most from a statistical standpoint.

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (nose) is available ahead of Tuesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Doncic has been cleared to play, but he'll wear a protective mask because of his nasal contusion. The hope is that the mask won't impact his play on the court. The assumption is that he'll resume his normal role in the rotation. Fantasy managers should double check their lineups and make sure Doncic is in there.

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) is available for Monday's matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers. Doncic is still dealing with soreness in his right ankle, but he'll play through it against Philadelphia and likely take on his usual workload. Monday marks the front end of Dallas' back-to-back set, though. With Joel Embiid (knee) soon becoming ineligible for the 2023-24 MVP award, Doncic is certainly in the running with averages of 34.8 points, 9.6 assists, 8.6 rebounds, 3.9 threes, and 1.4 steals over 41 games. Co-superstar Kyrie Irving (thumb) is back in the Mavs lineup for this one, so while Doncic will have a bit less on his plate, he is still an elite DFS play with this game carrying the highest implied point total (244.5) on Monday's six-game slate.

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) is questionable for Monday's matchup with the Philadelphia 76ers. Doncic's ankle has given him trouble over the last week or more, so his presence on the injury report is something fantasy managers are used to by this point. It would be a tough break for managers if he can't play, considering he scored at least 40 points in each of his previous two contests. At any rate, if Doncic doesn't suit up, Kyrie Irving (thumb), who's expected to return from a lengthy layoff, should absorb most of the ball-handling duties. Additionally, Josh Green and Derrick Jones Jr., would remain viable streaming options if Doncic isn't available.

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) is off the injury report ahead of Saturday's showdown with the Milwaukee Bucks. Doncic wasn't available on Wednesday in Minnesota, marking his eighth absence of the 2023-24 campaign. But it appears he's good to go, which is good news, considering Kyrie Irving (thumb) isn't expected to play. The 24-year-old is averaging a career-high 34.7 points with 9.6 assists, 8.6 rebounds, and 1.4 steals this season. He's also shot 37.5% from deep. That said, Doncic's presence should mean fewer minutes and scoring chances for Jaden Hardy. Still, Hardy remains a viable streaming option if Irving doesn't return.

Dallas Mavericks guards Luka Doncic (ankle) and Kyrie Irving (thumb) won't play Wednesday against Minnesota. Doncic, who's had a massive workload lately, will sit out his first game since Jan. 15, while Irving will miss a fifth consecutive game. With Dante Exum (knee) also on the injury report as doubtful, the Mavericks backcourt could be very shorthanded on Wednesday. The trio of Jaden Hardy, Tim Hardaway Jr., and Josh Green should do most of the heavy lifting.

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) will suit up for Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Doncic will play after being listed as questionable coming into this game due to right ankle soreness. His usage should remain sky-high with Kyrie Irving (thumb) still sidelined. It's unlikely that Doncic will surpass his 73-point outing from Friday. Regardless, fantasy managers can feel safe plugging Doncic into their lineups here.

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) is questionable moving toward Saturday's meeting with the Sacramento Kings. Kyrie Irving (thumb) wasn't available for Friday's win over the Atlanta Hawks. However, it didn't matter, with Doncic finishing that one with 73 points, the fourth-most in NBA history. But he also logged 45 minutes, so there's a good chance fantasy managers won't have him in the lineup. With Irving and Derrick Jones Jr. (wrist) also in danger of missing this game, Josh Green, Dante Exum, and Tim Hardaway Jr. could each see a substantial uptick on the scoring end.

Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic (back) is currently listed as questionable for the team's Wednesday game against the Phoenix Suns. The franchise star has missed three of the last six games, but he played for 39 minutes on Monday, recording an impressive 33 points, 18 rebounds, and 13 assists against the Celtics. Over the last two seasons, Doncic has maintained an average of 38 points per game in matchups against the Suns, including a notable 50-point game in December. If Doncic is unable to play, Tim Hardaway Jr. would likely take on a more significant role with increased minutes.

Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic put together a big comeback performance on Wednesday against the Lakers, returning to the lineup with a triple-double. Dallas struggled and went down 127-110 in Los Angeles, but Doncic had fun all night and piled up 33 points, 13 rebounds, and 10 assists. He logged 36 minutes and also had an impact on the defensive end with two steals and two blocks. Doncic shot only 2-for-9 from downtown but nailed a solid 12-for-24 from the field overall. Tim Hardaway Jr. and Kyrie Irving, who carried the Mavericks offense during Doncic's absence, both struggled on Wednesday, shooting a combined 9-for-33 from the field.

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) is available ahead of Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The superstar guard will make his return to the court after missing each of the last three games. There is no word on Doncic being limited, so the assumption is that he'll have his normal workload. The return of Doncic will send Tim Hardaway Jr. to the bench. His fantasy value will take a hit with the move to the second unit, but fantasy managers should hold Hardaway for the moment.
