Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The star guard has missed each of the last three games due to a right ankle sprain. Tim Hardaway Jr. has been playing extremely well in the starting five while Doncic is out. The expectation is that Hardaway will continue to start and have strong streaming appeal until Doncic is ready to return. Fantasy managers will have to check back on Wednesday for another update on his status.

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) has been listed as doubtful against the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday. This will likely be his third consecutive missed game with this ankle sprain, but his status is an upgrade from getting ruled out right away. He seems to be moving in the right direction, but it will take at least one more game until he's healthy enough to take the floor. In his absence, Kyrie Irving will see high usage once again while Tim Hardaway Jr. will be the biggest beneficiary. He's scored 24 and 32 points in the last two games and will be called upon again to help out in the scoring department.

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) has been ruled out for a second consecutive game while he deals with a right ankle sprain. Despite not playing in their last game against the New York Knicks, the Mavericks were able to squeak by with a win behind Kyrie Irving's 44 points. Doncic's ankle sprain must be a bad one to keep him out of this contest against the New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday because it could mean a lot when it comes to playoff seeding. They're a half-game behind the Pelicans and a win would put them in the sixth seed instead of potentially the play-in. While Doncic is out, Irving's usage should skyrocket again while Tim Hardaway Jr. will also see a boost in minutes.

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) won't play on Thursday against New York. He battled through an ankle sprain in Tuesday's matchup against Memphis but will take Thursday off. Doncic's absence could result in a massive performance from Kyrie Irving, who will have all the keys to the offense. Meanwhile, Tim Hardaway Jr. and Jaden Hardy should get extra burn off the bench, with Dante Exum (heel) also unavailable for the Mavericks.

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) has been upgraded from probable to available for Tuesday's home battle with the Memphis Grizzlies. Doncic won't let swelling in his right ankle stop him from suiting up as Dallas continues their big seven-game homestand. The 24-year-old Slovenian sensation has been terrific in all types of fantasy leagues with improved shooting at the charity stripe, compiling 33.7 points, 9.2 rebounds, 8.2 assists, 4.0 treys, and 1.3 steals per night in 2023-24. Deploy Doncic as you normally would, as Tuesday's outing is neither the first nor second part of a back-to-back set. There is a bit of blowout risk for DFS purposes in the Mavs' favor, however, against a 13-23 Grizzlies team that just got news on Monday that superstar Ja Morant (shoulder) is done for the year.

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) remained on the injury report for his ankle swelling but he's listed as probable for Tuesday night against the Memphis Grizzlies. The MVP candidate was forced to miss one game due to the same swelling in his right ankle but was able to return to the court on Sunday against the Minnesota Timberwolves. He led the Mavs to a seven-point win and posted 34 points, eight assists, six rebounds, one steal, and three turnovers while shooting 46.2% on 26 attempts. He should remain in all fantasy lineups once again and he'll have to continue to carry a big workload since Dante Exum (foot) and Dereck Lively II (ankle) have both been ruled out.

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) has been upgraded from questionable to available on Sunday and will take on the Minnesota Timberwolves. The swelling in his right ankle seemed to go down enough for him to move comfortably and get back on the court. His offensive abilities are much-needed against one of the top defensive teams in the league, especially while Dereck Lively II (ankle) and Dante Exum (foot) are both out. This will be the first game that Doncic will play against the Timberwolves since he couldn't suit up against them on December 28. Regardless of the opponent, Doncic should be in all fantasy lineups now that he's playing.

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the visiting Timberwolves. He didn't suit up on Friday night versus Portland because of right ankle swelling. As a result, Kyrie Irving led the way offensively, finishing with a game-high 24 points, adding nine rebounds, five assists, two steals, and two blocks. Additionally, Tim Hardaway Jr., Jaden Hardy, and Josh Green got more involved on the scoring end, so they will remain streaming options in all fantasy leagues if Doncic misses his second consecutive contest.

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) won't play on Friday against the Portland Trail Blazers. The multi-time All-Star popped up on the injury report on Friday because of a swollen right ankle, although most knew there was a chance he wouldn't be on the floor. That said, without Doncic in the lineup, Kyrie Irving could be in for a massive night from a performance perspective. At the same time, Derrick Jones Jr., Josh Green, Jaden Hardy, and Tim Hardaway Jr. could all see an uptick in production.

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) popped up on the injury report on Friday with right ankle swelling and has been tagged as questionable for their game against the Portland Trail Blazers. If the team decided to hold out Doncic against a weaker opponent while Kyrie Irving was healthy, it wouldn't come as that big of a surprise. The MVP candidate has only missed three games so far this season, so he's not in danger of being disqualified for regular season awards. Fantasy managers will want to check back before tip-off, but if he sits this game out, Irving will see a big usage bump while Time Hardaway Jr. would likely move into the starting lineup.

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (quad) will reportedly play on Monday night against the Utah Jazz. He was originally listed as questionable with left quad soreness, but the good news for the Mavericks and fantasy managers is that he'll end up playing. The MVP candidate was able to play through the quad soreness on Saturday as well and posted 39 points, 10 assists, eight rebounds, one steal, one block, and four turnovers. Whenever he's active, he should be a must-start in every fantasy league since he's a threat to post a huge triple-double every time he takes the court.

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (quad) has been cleared to suit up for Saturday's game against the Golden State Warriors. The superstar guard was questionable coming into this game due to a left quad contusion. Despite that, Doncic will suit up and figures to play his normal role in the rotation. The expectation was that Jaden Hardy would shift to the bench, but instead Grant Williams will play with the second unit. Fantasy managers can feel comfortable getting Doncic back in their lineups on Saturday.

Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic (quadriceps) is considered questionable for Saturday's juicy matchup against Golden State. Doncic missed the previous game against Minnesota as Dallas completed a back-to-back. He should be available again, but we won't know for sure until he's officially declared available for the game. Jaden Hardy had a decent 17-point outing as Doncic's replacement in the starting unit on Thursday but will likely return to the bench if Dallas' main man returns.

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (quad) will catch a breather and sit out on Thursday against the Minnesota Timberwolves during the second night of the team's back-to-back. The Mavs suffered a fourth-quarter collapse in Wednesday's home loss to the injury-ravaged Cleveland Cavaliers, but it came by no fault of their franchise cornerstone. Doncic supplied 39 points with three triples, two steals, and two blocks in the defeat, trailing only Joel Embiid in points per game (33.7) and ranking third in average assists (9.2) on the campaign. The MVP candidate hopes to suit up for Saturday's showdown against the Golden State Warriors in San Francisco. With Doncic joining Kyrie Irving (heel) on the shelf for Thursday, the backcourt reins are left to Dante Exum, Jaden Hardy, and Seth Curry as Dallas' primary floor generals. Volume scorer ... [More]

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (quad) is available to play on Wednesday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Doncic was iffy due to quad soreness on the first part of Dallas' back-to-back set, but he is ready to roll. The 24-year-old offensive sensation has returned top-five value across all fantasy formats this year, specifically stockpiling 34.8 points, 11.6 assists, 9.3 rebounds, 4.3 threes, and 2.2 combined steals plus blocks in a whopping 39.9 minutes per game during 12 contests without Kyrie Irving (heel) this season. Make sure Doncic is inserted into all daily season-long lineups. The perennial All-Star remains a threat to shatter any given slate, as evidenced by a ridiculous 50-point, 15-assist double-double with eight treys, six boards, four swipes, and three swats in the Christmas Day win over the Phoenix Suns. The Mavs could opt to rest Doncic on Thursday against the Minnesota Timberwolves, though.

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (illness) was not feeling well enough to attend morning shootaround but is expected to be able to play on Monday against the Denver Nuggets. Doncic is officially listed as probable on Dallas' injury report with an illness, but fantasy managers can plan on having the 24-year-old Slovenian superstar available for a clash with the defending NBA champions. The Mavericks are still missing Kyrie Irving (heel) on Monday, and Doncic is stuffing the stat sheet with 32.8 points, 12.0 assists, 9.1 rebounds, 3.8 threes, and 2.2 combined steals plus blocks in eight games without Irving this season. If Doncic gets unexpectedly ruled out, the Mavs would be down to the scorching-hot Dante Exum, Jaden Hardy, and Seth Curry as their primary ball-handlers.

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (back) will play on Tuesday against the Los Angeles Lakers. A lower back contusion won't keep Doncic out for a marquee matchup with LeBron James and company on Tuesday. DFS players will have to appropriately pay top dollar if playing Doncic without Kyrie Irving (heel) in Tuesday's lineup, but the 24-year-old perennial All-Star is averaging 30.0 points, 11.2 assists, 9.8 rebounds, and 4.2 triples in a gargantuan 40.5 minutes over five games without his sidekick this year. Note that Doncic played 44 minutes on Monday, but the Mavericks may not have the luxury of monitoring the superstar's playing time in this one.

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (back) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. It's the second part of a back-to-back set for Dallas, and Doncic is dealing with a lower-back contusion. The Mavericks could be seriously undermanned for Tuesday's battle with the Lakers, as Kyrie Irving (heel) has already been ruled out with a right heel contusion. Doncic registered a full line against the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday with 35 points, eight rebounds, six assists, five threes, two steals, and two blocks and didn't sit much with 44 minutes. Dante Exum is averaging 14.0 points, 5.8 dimes, 4.3 boards, 1.3 swipes and 1.3 treys across his past four nights, so he's on the map as a viable fantasy streaming option in a banged-up Mavs backcourt. Fresh off a 19-point showing in a season-high 34 minutes on Monday, Jaden Hardy would also be on the radar if Doncic sits out.

Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic cooked up a 40-point triple-double in Wednesday's blowout win against Utah, posting 40 points with 14-for-25 shooting and recording 10 rebounds and 11 assists. He did most of his scoring early in the game and registered the first 25-point first-half triple-double in NBA history. Doncic shot a superb 6-for-12 from deep, and his line included a steal. The Mavericks star has had a couple of close misses in getting a 40-point triple-double lately and finally got the job done on Wednesday. It wouldn't be surprising to see him keep up the form in the next couple of games, as the Mavericks gear up to face the Trail Blazers and Grizzlies, who are both among the worst teams in the league.

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (personal) will not suit up against the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday night due to personal reasons. This will be the MVP candidate's first game missed this season and it seems like it should be limited to just one game. Since he and Dante Exum (personal) are both out, Jaden Hardy and Seth Curry should both see an uptick in minutes while Tim Hardaway Jr. (back) would see a lot more usage if he's able to play.
