Fri Apr 1222:34Luka Doncic Unavailable Sunday Versus Thunder
Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic (ankle) will miss Sunday's regular-season finale against the Thunder. The Mavericks have decided to rest the 25-year-old for a week before the playoffs start. He's averaged an amazing 33.9 points, 9.2 rebounds, 9.8 assists, and 1.4 steals in 70 regular-season contests. Kyrie Irving (hamstring) will also be sitting out, which means Dante Exum, Tim Hardaway Jr., and Jaden Hardy will see plenty of minutes on the court.

Fri Apr 1218:44Luka Doncic Expected To Miss Friday's Game
According to NBA insider Marc Stein, Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic (ankle) isn't expected to play on Friday against Detroit. With Kyrie Irving (hamstring) already ruled out, Dante Exum, Tim Hardaway Jr., and Jaden Hardy will be let loose on the Mavericks backcourt against the worst team in the National Basketball Association. It's a very favorable matchup for the trio, as only four teams allow more points per game than the Pistons.

Thu Apr 1119:41Luka Doncic Questionable Against Detroit
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) is questionable heading into Friday's matchup with the Pistons. The 25-year-old has been on and off the injury report all season. However, he's only missed 10 games, his fewest since his rookie campaign. With that said, the Mavs are set for the playoffs, so the team may give Doncic a night off versus the disastrous Pistons. With Kyrie Irving (hamstring) also ruled out, Dante Exum, Tim Hardaway Jr., and P.J. Washington could lead the way on the scoring end.

Wed Apr 1009:40Luka Doncic Goes Close To 40-Point Triple-Double
Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic came very close to a 40-point triple-double on Tuesday against Charlotte, racking up 39 points, 12 rebounds, and 10 assists in a 130-104 win. These were game-high marks in all three categories. Doncic hit 8-for-17 from deep and finished with 13-for-25 overall shooting, contributing one block on the defensive end. The MVP candidate is finishing the campaign strongly, averaging 32.8 points, 11.3 rebounds, and 10.3 assists for April. However, it's possible we won't see him in action in the next game, as Dallas completes a back-to-back on Wednesday against Miami. Doncic missed the second leg of a back-to-back last week with a sore right knee, and the team might want to give him rest again with the playoffs around the corner.

Sat Apr 622:07Luka Doncic Questionable Versus Houston
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (knee) is questionable heading into Sunday's meeting with the Rockets. The MVP candidate didn't suit up on Friday night against Golden State because of a sore knee. However, Dallas is still fighting to remain out of the Play-In, so Doncic will likely do all he can to get out there. But if he's out again, Kyrie Irving and P.J. Washington, combining for 58 points versus the Warriors, are locks for all DFS contests. There is also a place in fantasy lineups for Tim Hardaway Jr. and Dante Exum.

Fri Apr 519:02Luka Doncic Won't Play Against Golden State
Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's tilt against the Warriors. He was already unlikely to play after picking up a doubtful tag due to a sore right knee. There's hope Dallas' MVP candidate can return on Sunday versus Houston. Kyrie Irving should be a usage monster without Doncic, with Tim Hardaway Jr. also in a spot to get extra shots. Meanwhile, Dante Exum is the likeliest candidate to move into the starting five, which will boost his fantasy value.

Fri Apr 517:13Luka Doncic Downgraded To Doubtful Against Golden State Friday
Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic (knee) is now doubtful for Friday's contest against the Golden State Warriors. Doncic is still dealing with right knee soreness but has played in nine straight games. If the 25-year-old cannot suit up, Tim Hardaway, Jaden Hardy, and Dante Exum will likely see an uptick in minutes. Fantasy managers should explore other options at guard just in case the Mavericks star point guard is unavailable.

Sun Mar 3118:42Luka Doncic Ready To Face The Rockets
Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic (knee) will play against Houston on Sunday. He carried a questionable tag due to a sore knee heading into Sunday but will be in the lineup for his seventh consecutive appearance. Doncic has averaged a 31-point triple-double for the month and went off for a 41-point night in his only previous meeting with the Rockets this season. It's hard to slow him down, and even Houston's top-10-ranked defense will likely struggle to do so on Sunday.

Sun Mar 3102:01Luka Doncic Questionable Versus Houston
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Rockets. There haven't been many times where Doncic isn't listed on the injury report. But he's now uncertain to suit up because of knee soreness. The Rockets need a win to get closer to the Play-In picture. On the other hand, Dallas needs a victory to keep to help keep Phoenix out of the No. 6 spot in the Western Conference. With that in mind, Doncic will probably play. But if he doesn't, Kyrie Irving would be a lock for DFS contests. In addition, Tim Hardaway Jr., Dante Exum, and P.J. Washington would be the likeliest on the roster to get more chances offensively.

Thu Mar 2821:15Luka Doncic On The Injury Report For Friday
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (Achilles) is questionable for Friday's rematch with the Sacramento Kings. It's common to see Doncic on the injury report. However, his latest ailment, Achilles soreness, has bothered him for weeks. He logged 32 minutes when these clubs met on Tuesday, finishing with 28 points, 11 rebounds, six assists, and two steals. The Mavs would love another win over the Kings to widen the gap in the Western Conference standings, meaning Doncic should be in the lineup. But if he doesn't suit up, Kyrie Irving would be a lock for all DFS contests. There would also be room for Dante Exum, P.J. Washington, and Tim Hardaway Jr. to get more involved on the scoring end.

Tue Mar 2621:27Luka Doncic Available On Tuesday Night
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (Achilles) will play on Tuesday against the Sacramento Kings. The 25-year-old logged 41 minutes in Monday's win over the Utah Jazz. However, he popped up on the injury report on Tuesday because of Achilles soreness. But Dallas is fighting to secure at least a sixth seed in the Western Conference, so it would have taken a lot to keep Doncic off the floor for this one. As usual, he is in the MVP conversation and remains a lock for all fantasy lineups. Yet, Doncic has averaged 26.5 points in two meetings with Sacramento this season, meaning he may not be as productive as usual.

Tue Mar 1919:08Luka Doncic Good To Go Versus San Antonio
Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic (hamstring) has been officially labeled as available for Tuesday's matchup against San Antonio. He has been upgraded from a probable status. Dallas' superstar has been dealing with left hamstring soreness lately, but that didn't keep him from logging 40 minutes and shining with 37 points on Sunday against Denver. Docic should cook up something special again for fantasy managers in Tuesday's favorable matchup. He has averaged 33.0 points, 11.3 rebounds, and 9.3 assists with 1.7 steals in three meetings against the Spurs this season.

Mon Mar 1820:19Luka Doncic Considered Probable For Tuesday
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (hamstring) is listed as probable ahead of Tuesday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The star guard was able to play through his hamstring issue during Sunday's game. That being said, Doncic should be able to suit up on Tuesday, but the team will likely wait until closer to game time before making a final decision. Fantasy managers should check back on Tuesday for a final decision.

Sun Mar 1713:44Luka Doncic Expected To Play Versus Denver
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (hamstring) is expected to play on Sunday against the Nuggets. He exited Wednesday's win over the Golden State Warriors with a hamstring injury and wasn't available for the highly-anticipated showdown with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder on Thursday. However, Doncic is good to go after entering this contest with a questionable tag. Of course, he's a must-start for all fantasy lineups.

Sat Mar 1614:33Luka Doncic Questionable Versus Denver
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's clash with the Nuggets. He tweaked his hamstring in Thursday's win over the Golden State Warriors and was ruled out after logging 30 minutes. As a result, the 25-year-old wasn't available for the highly-anticipated meeting with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder on Friday night. Doncic at least holds a questionable designation, meaning there's a chance he'll suit up. However, if he misses another game, Kyrie Irving, who had 36 points and 12 boards against OKC, will remain a lock for all fantasy lineups, including DFS contests. Tim Hardaway Jr. would also draw attention from the fantasy community, especially after amassing 23 points versus the Thunder.

Fri Mar 1511:59Luka Doncic Receives "Clean" MRI On Hamstring
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (hamstring) received some good news on Thursday night after getting an MRI on his hamstring. Head coach Jason Kidd said that the results came back clean and the superstar guard will be re-evaluated this weekend. Everyone involved can breathe a sigh of relief as it seems that Doncic won't have to miss much more time if any at all. He originally tweaked his hamstring on Wednesday during their 10-point win over the Golden State Warriors and then he sat out of the second half of the back-to-back against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Fantasy managers will want to stay tuned for updates through the weekend. If he doesn't play another game, Tim Hardaway Jr. would be a solid streaming option.

Thu Mar 1415:14Luka Doncic Won’t Play Thursday
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (hamstring) won't play in Thursday's contest against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Doncic is nursing soreness in his left hamstring after exiting Wednesday's win over the Golden State Warriors, so it's not surprising to see the Slovenian superstar unavailable on the second night of Dallas' back-to-back. His next chance to return comes in Sunday's showdown versus the Denver Nuggets, with Dante Exum and Josh Green being candidates to join the Mavs' starting lineup on Thursday. Across five games without Doncic this year, Kyrie Irving is averaging 30.6 points, 6.6 assists, 6.0 rebounds, 3.4 threes, and 1.0 steals.

Wed Mar 1323:32Luka Doncic Exits Thursday's Win Over Golden State
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (hamstring) exited Wednesday's win over the Golden State Warriors because of hamstring soreness. He did not return. The 25-year-old scored 21 points, shooting a shoddy 7-for-18 from the field and 1-for-6 from deep, adding nine assists and three rebounds in 30 minutes. Doncic has had an MVP-caliber year despite missing eight games for various reasons. He'll likely undergo further testing. However, Doncic likely won't be out there for the highly-anticipated matchup with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Thunder on Thursday. If that's the case, Kyrie Irving would likely see a bump in usage and offensive opportunities. Dante Exum, who had nine points and six assists versus the Dubs, could find himself back into the starting lineup.

Sat Mar 907:38Luka Doncic Iffy For Saturday's Game
Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic (elbow) has been tagged as questionable ahead of Saturday's matchup against Detroit. After hurting his nose and right ankle in recent weeks, Doncic is now dealing with a right elbow sprain. The Mavericks leader might have to step out of the lineup after just becoming the second player in NBA history with five consecutive 30-point triple-doubles. Kyrie Irving has taken his scoring average to nearly 30.0 points in games without Doncic in Dallas. Tim Hardaway Jr. also figures to be more involved in the offense if Doncic doesn't play on Saturday. It's a great matchup for doing damage, with the Pistons among the worst teams in the league and giving up 120.8 points per game.

Fri Mar 809:28Luka Doncic Notches Fourth Straight 35-Point Triple-Double
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic became the first player in NBA history to register four consecutive 35-point triple-doubles on Thursday in the 114-108 win over the Miami Heat. The Mavericks didn't have a lead in this game until the third quarter when Doncic put up 17 points, five assists, and five rebounds in that frame alone. In the end, he finished the game with 35 points, 11 rebounds, 11 assists, one steal, and four turnovers while shooting 12-for-24 from the floor and 7-for-13 from beyond the arc. He's on a historic tear right now and has the ability to win some fantasy matchups on his own. The Mavericks currently sit at the eighth seed in the West and are only nine games back from first with 19 games remaining.
