Doncic finished Wednesday's 132-119 loss to the Spurs with 35 points (11-24 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 10-14 FT), five rebounds, eight assists and one steal over 41 minutes.

Doncic recorded his seventh game this season with at least 14 free-throw attempts and 14th game scoring at least 30 points. While his efforts were not enough to secure a win in the NBA Cup quarterfinals, his presence was definitely missed, as he was out for the two games in Toronto and Boston for personal reasons. Doncic has scored at least 30 points in nine straight appearances and averages 36.3 points, 9.1 rebounds, 8.8 assists, 1.2 steals, 0.8 blocks and 3.7 threes across 37.4 minutes in that span.

Doncic logged 31 points (9-24 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 11-14 FT) 15 rebounds, 11 assists and two blocks in 38 minutes during Sunday's 112-108 win over the 76ers.

Doncic missed the two games previous to Sunday due to personal reasons, but he returned to the lineup in outstanding form, setting a season-high in rebounds and recording his second triple-double of the season. Doncic has now recorded at least 30 points in each of his last eight appearances. Despite an all-around stellar performance, one area where the star guard struggled Sunday was from beyond the arc, where he shot just 22 percent, his lowest mark over his last six contests.

Doncic (personal) is expected to play Sunday against the 76ers, Dan Woike of The Athletic reports.

After missing Fridays game against the Raptors, Doncic has rejoined the team in Philadelphia and will almost certainly be back in the lineup. With Doncic expected back, Gabe Vincent, Jake LaRavia and Nick Smith could be less involved for the Lakers.

Head coach JJ Redick said Friday that Doncic (personal), who has already been ruled out for Friday's game against the Celtics, could return as soon as Sunday's matchup against the 76ers, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Doncic is in Slovenia for the birth of his child and is set to miss his second straight game Friday. However, Redick said the superstar will be back with the team "soon" and could possibly play Sunday. The Lakers are expected to provide an update on his status by Saturday night, and if Doncic ultimately ends up missing his third consecutive contest, Gabe Vincent, Jake LaRavia and Nick Smith are candidates for increased minutes.

Doncic (personal) won't play in Friday's game against Boston, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.

Doncic will miss a second consecutive game for personal reasons, and at this point, it's uncertain when he'll return. His next chance to do so will come Sunday in Philadelphia. Gabe Vincent and Nick Smith should handle most of the point guard duties Friday night, while Bronny James could crack the rotation.

Doncic won't play in Thursday's game against the Raptors for personal reasons, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Doncic will be sidelined for the opening leg of a back-to-back set on the road, and given the personal nature of his absence, it seems like a Friday absence is possible as well. The superstar guard has scored at least 30 points in seven straight games. With Marcus Smart (injury management) also sidelined Thursday, Gabe Vincent, Bronny James and Gabe Vincent could see an uptick in minutes.

Doncic closed Monday's 125-108 loss to Phoenix with 38 points (15-26 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 11 rebounds and five assists across 32 minutes.

Doncic has scored 30 or more points in seven consecutive games now, as his league-best scoring average increased to 35.3 points per game. He collected 11 rebounds and five assists in 32 minutes of play on the team's second game in as many nights. On the defensive end, it was only Doncic's third outing this season without registering a steal or block.

Doncic got off to a blazing start Sunday, logging 20 points, six rebounds, four assists, one steal and a block in the first quarter alone. Although his production slowed dramatically, he was still about to produce an impressive line and a near triple-double. Donic has now logged double-doubles in five straight games, two of those being point-rebound double-doubles.

Doncic generated 35 points (10-18 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 11-11 FT), 11 assists, five rebounds and one block over 40 minutes of Friday's 129-119 win over Dallas.

Doncic has been unstoppable lately, having delivered a double-double in four straight games and scoring at least 33 points in five consecutive contests. During that five-game stretch, Doncic is averaging 37.8 points, 9.6 assists, 7.8 rebounds and 1.8 steals.

Doncic closed with 43 points (14-28 FG, 7-12 3Pt, 8-11 FT), nine rebounds, 13 assists, one block and one steal across 38 minutes during Tuesday's 135-118 win over the Clippers.

It was the 51st time in his career that Doncic had scored at least 40 points in a game, and he came within one board of his 10th career 40-point triple-double. The 26-year-old superstar instead had to settle for his 10th double-double of the season in 13 games. Doncic has delivered at least 30 points in four straight games and six of his last nine, averaging 32.4 points, 9.7 assists, 7.6 boards, 3.8 threes and 2.2 steals over the latter stretch.

Doncic put together another standout performance Sunday, logging game-highs in scoring, rebounds and steals while matching the high total in assists. The 26-year-old pro has recorded five double-doubles over his last eight games, with Sunday being the first point-rebound double-double over that stretch. Doncic is the first player in NBA history to record at least 400 points and 100 assists in their first 12 games of a season.

Doncic produced 37 points (11-22 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 13-16 FT), five rebounds, 10 assists and four steals across 34 minutes during Tuesday's 140-126 win over Utah.recordded his

Although James stole the headlines with his season debut, Doncic continued his torrid run of production and recorded his eighth double-double. Doncic was also a threat on defense, collecting four steals to match his second-highest scoring total of the season. Despite the supreme stat line, he coughed up the ball eight times in the loss, which marked his worst showing of the season in that category.

Doncic notched 41 points (9-19 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 18-20 FT), nine rebounds, six assists, two blocks and one steal across 38 minutes during Saturday's 119-95 win over the Bucks.

The Lakers needed Doncic to be at his best Saturday, and the star guard delivered in a big way. This was his fourth game with at least 40 points this season, and the star guard continues to lead the NBA in scoring.

Doncic ended with 24 points (6-16 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 9-13 FT), seven rebounds, 12 assists, one block and two steals across 40 minutes during Friday's 118-104 win over New Orleans.

Doncic didn't have his best shooting performance in this game, but he came through every time the Lakers needed him. The star guard finished just three rebounds shy of posting what would've been his first triple-double since Nov. 2. However, this game also represented Doncic's sixth double-double of the campaign. Even though Austin Reaves led the way in scoring for the Lakers in this victory, there's no question that Doncic remains the most influential player on offense for the Lakers, and the team goes as he goes.

Doncic supplied 19 points (7-20 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 4-7 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 121-92 loss to the Thunder.

No other Lakers starter managed more than 13 points on the night, and only four Los Angeles players in total scored in double digits in the rout. It was the first time Doncic failed to score at least 20 points in a game himself this season, but the 26-year-old superstar is still averaging a blistering 34.9 points, 9.1 boards, 8.9 assists, 3.5 threes and 1.8 steals through his first eight contests.

Doncic registered 38 points (14-28 FG, 5-15 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 38 minutes during Monday's 121-111 victory over the Hornets.

Doncic did a good chunk of the heavy lifting on the offensive end Monday, though he couldn't quite get comfortable from beyond the arc. That didn't stop him from firing up shots, and he's now drilled four or more triples in three consecutive games. Doncic has put up 35 or more points in three of his last five appearances.

Doncic contributed 22 points (7-17 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 11 assists, five rebounds and one steal across 27 minutes in Saturday's 122-102 loss to the Hawks.

Doncic didn't have his most efficient performance from the field, though he still led the Lakers in scoring. The superstar point guard's 22 points marked a new season low, and he has scored at least 35 in four of his six regular-season outings thus far. Still, he led the team in assists, securing his sixth game with a double-double or better in as many appearances.

Doncic generated 35 points (9-27 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 13-17 FT), nine rebounds, 13 assists, five steals and two blocks over 42 minutes of Wednesday's 118-116 win over the Spurs.

Doncic didn't have the most efficient shooting night, but he still finished with 35 points. The star point guard's 13 assists were a season high. He had one of the best defensive games of his career from a statistical standpoint, notching five steals for just the third time in his career, and swatting multiple shots -- something he did just twice in the 2024-25 regular season. In five appearances this season, Doncic is averaging 40.0 points, 11.0 rebounds, 9.2 assists and 2.0 steals.

Doncic (rest) is off the Lakers' injury report for Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

After sitting out Monday's win over Portland, Doncic will return to action against San Antonio. Over four regular-season appearances, the superstar point guard has averaged 41.3 points, 11.5 rebounds, 8.3 assists and 1.3 steals while shooting 54.5 percent from the field in 38.3 minutes per contest.

Doncic (rest) will not play Monday against Portland, according to NBA reporter Marc Stein.

After logging 38 minutes Sunday against the Heat with 29 points (9-22 FG, 1-11 3Pt, 10-12 FT), 11 rebounds, 10 assists and three steals, Doncic is being held out of the second leg of this back-to-back set as a precaution. Look for him to return to the lineup Wednesday against the Spurs.

Doncic recorded 29 points (9-22 FG, 1-11 3Pt, 10-12 FT), 11 rebounds, 10 assists and three steals in 38 minutes during Sunday's 130-120 win over the Heat.

Doncic put together an impressive all-around stat line Sunday despite struggling to find his shot and connecting on just one-of-11 three-point attempts. 29 points marked Doncic's lowest scoring output and the first time he has been held under 40 points this season, illustrating the level he has been playing at to kick off the 2025-26 campaign. Doncic concluded Sunday's bout with his first triple-double of the season and the 83rd of his career.

Doncic scored a game-high 44 points (14-27 FG, 6-15 3Pt, 10-13 FT) while adding 12 rebounds and six assists in 39 minutes during Friday's 117-112 win over the Grizzlies.

After the 26-year-old superstar had missed the prior three games due to a finger injury, coach JJ Redick suggested ahead of Friday's tip-off that Doncic's minutes might be somewhat limited, but instead he saw more court time than anyone else in the contest and delivered his third 40-point double-double of 2025-26 in three games. As long as he's in the lineup, Doncic figures to keep seeing massive usage as long as LeBron James (back) remains sidelined.

Doncic (finger) will play Friday in Memphis, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Head coach JJ Redick said that he would be "mindful" of Doncic's minutes in his first game back from a three-game absence, but even with a minutes cap, Doncic is a must-play guy whenever he's active. Fire him up.

Doncic (finger/leg) has been upgraded to probable for Friday's game against the Grizzlies, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

After going through the morning shootaround, Doncic is firmly on track to return from a three-game absence Friday. The Lakers originally planned on being without the superstar guard for at least one week as of Sunday, but Doncic appears to be ahead of schedule in his recovery from a finger sprain and lower leg contusion. His return as well as Marcus Smart's (quadriceps) would likely push Jake LaRavia back to the bench.

Doncic (finger) participated in Friday's morning shootaround, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

Doncic is listed questionable to play in Friday's game against the Grizzlies after missing the past three games for the Lakers. His participation at the morning shootaround bodes well for his status, however. It's possible the star playmaker ends up being a game-time call for this one.

With Doncic and James out, Austin Reaves will likely be the Lakers' go-to playmaker, with reserves like Marcus Smart, Dalton Knecht and Jake LaRavia spending into larger roles.

Doncic is in jeopardy of missing Sunday's contest due to a sprained left finger. If the superstar is ultimately ruled out, Marcus Smart, Gabe Vincent and Bronny James are candidates for increased playing time. Doncic has dropped at least 43 points in each of the Lakers' two games to start the season, averaging 46.0 points, 11.5 rebounds, 8.5 assists and 1.0 steals while shooting 62.0 percent from the field in 38.0 minutes per contest.

Doncic appeared to suffer a groin injury during Tuesday's season-opening loss to the Warriors. However, he downplayed the injury after the game and seems to be okay after going through a practice session Wednesday. The Lakers don't play again until Friday against the Timberwolves, which should give the superstar guard ample time to get back up to speed with more treatment.

Doncic opened the season with a dominant performance, leading the Lakers with game highs in points and rebounds. Despite struggling from three-point range, the superstar was one of just two Lakers to score more than 10 points, joining Austin Reaves (26). Doncic also tied the game-best mark in assists and matched the team lead in steals. He should continue to impress as the team's clear top offensive option with LeBron James (sciatica) sidelined.

Doncic had another impressive showing Monday, and while his Lakers tenure got off to a relatively slow start, he's been absolutely dominant of late.

Doncic was probable to suit up for the second part of the Lakers' back-to-back Monday, and he's good to go and should be able to handle his normal workload.

Doncic is out for Friday's game versus the Nuggets due to left calf management and a right ankle sprain, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Doncic will miss the second leg of the Lakers' back-to-back Friday due to calf and ankle injuries. With Gabe Vincent (knee) also doubtful, Shake Milton and Jordan Goodwin are candidates to receive increased playing time. Doncic's next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Phoenix.

Doncic provided 45 points (14-27 FG, 7-13 3Pt, 10-12 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals over 36 minutes during Thursday's 126-106 loss to Milwaukee.

The 45 points were Doncic's best scoring output since he was traded to the Lakers in early February, but not even this impressive stat line was enough to lift the team to victory. Doncic endured a slow start to life in Los Angeles but has been showing signs of turning things around of late, tallying 30 or more points in four of his last five games, a span in which he's also recorded three double-doubles and one triple-double.

Doncic (back) is probable for Monday's game against the Nets, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Doncic has been upgraded from questionable to probable ahead of Monday's tipoff at 7:30 p.m. ET, though he'll likely go through pregame warmups before the Lakers make a final decision on his status.

Doncic looked to be laboring through back and knee injuries during the Lakers' 111-101 loss to the Celtics on Saturday, but he managed to finish the game with 34 points, eight rebounds, three assists and one steal over 37 minutes. How the Lakers navigate the next couple of weeks without LeBron James (groin) will largely depend on Doncic's ability to stay on the floor and play at an All-NBA level. Austin Reaves, Gabe Vincent and Dalton Knecht would stand to see an even bigger increase in responsibilities should Doncic be ruled out for Monday's game.

The Lakers continue to include Doncic on the injury report due to a right knee contusion that he presumably picked up before exiting to the locker room in Sunday's win over the Clippers. However, the superstar point guard hasn't missed a game since the club's win over Portland on Feb. 20, and he is expected to face the Celtics on Saturday.

Doncic also racked up a game-high mark in steals, tying his season high with four swipes.

Doncic (knee) has been listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Knicks, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Doncic is dealing with a contusion on his right knee, but that likely won't keep him from playing against the Knicks on Thursday.

Doncic is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans due to a right knee contusion, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Doncic has been a regular on the Lakers' injury report due to a lingering calf injury, but he now appears to be working through a right knee injury that he may have picked up during Sunday's win against the Clippers. Jarred Vanderbilt, Gabe Vincent and Dalton Knecht would be the top candidates to enter the Lakers' starting lineup if Doncic is not cleared to play Tuesday. Doncic has averaged 26.4 points on 40.8 percent shooting (including 30.4 percent from three on 9.2 3PA/G), 9.2 rebounds, 7.6 assists and 2.4 steals over 34.8 minutes per game over his last five outings.

Doncic is questionable for Sunday's game against the Clippers due to calf injury management, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Doncic has been dealing with a calf injury for quite some time, but based on the workload he's endured in recent games, the questionable tag might be more of a precautionary move than anything else. Doncic is averaging 25.8 points, 10.0 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 2.5 steals per game since the end of the All-Star break.

Doncic contributed 31 points (9-22 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 10-11 FT), two rebounds, five assists and three steals in 35 minutes during Friday's 106-102 win over the Clippers.

Doncic (calf) has been upgraded to probable for Friday's game against the Clippers, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Doncic remains a game-time call for Friday, but the fact that he was upgraded from questionable to probable suggests he's trending toward playing. He's coming off a 21-point, 13-rebound, five-assist performance in the win over the Timberwolves on Thursday.

Doncic is a game-time decision for Friday's matchup against the Clippers due to left calf injury management, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Doncic is in jeopardy of missing the second leg of the club's back-to-back set while the Lakers manage his playing time due to a left calf injury. The superstar has appeared in six of the club's last seven outings, averaging 19.3 points, 9.7 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 1.5 steals across 30.3 minutes per contest. If the 26-year-old is sidelined Friday, Gabe Vincent and Jordan Goodwin could see a bump in minutes.

Doncic accumulated 21 points (6-20 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 8-12 FT), 13 rebounds and five assists across 36 minutes during Thursday's 111-102 win over the Timberwolves.

The Lakers beat Dallas convincingly as Doncic squared off against his former team. The All-Star responded to the moment in brilliant fashion and looked completely in sync with LeBron James, who led the way with 27 points. The new-look Lakers look like playoff contenders with Doncic in the backcourt, and the upcoming two-game tilt with the Clippers will help to reinforce the team's superiority in Los Angeles.

Doncic amassed 32 points (10-22 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 8-8 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists, one block and four steals over 31 minutes during Saturday's 123-100 win over the Nuggets.

Doncic served up his best performance since arriving in Los Angeles, helping the Lakers to an impressive victory. After what has been a hectic couple of weeks for Doncic, he was able to set aside all of the media attention, silencing anyone who had questioned his productivity. The Lakers will host the Mavericks on Tuesday in what promises to be a mouth-watering affair given the recent history.

Doncic (calf) is available for Saturday's game against the Nuggets, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Doncic was held out of Thursday's win against the Trail Blazers while managing a left calf strain that he suffered Christmas Day, but he's been given the green light to play Saturday.

Doncic (injury management) has beenDan Woike of the Los Angeles Times for Saturday's game against the Nuggets, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Doncic will likely play in Saturday's game against the Nuggets after sitting out in Thursday's win on the road in Portland. The superstar is still getting back into game shape as he adjusts to his new team but he should give the Lakers a big boost offensively Saturday in Denver.

Doncic (injury management) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

After playing in Wednesday's loss to the Hornets, Doncic won't be in uniform for the second game of a back-to-back Thursday in Portland. He's been ruled out due to injury management of his left calf. Head coach JJ Redick and his coaching staff will likely turn to Gabe Vincent and Austin Reaves to shoulder the load in the backcourt.

Doncic finished with 14 points (5-18 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 11 rebounds, eight assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 100-97 loss to Charlotte.

Doncic continues to struggle with his shot, but fantasy managers could overlook those efficiency issues if he's going to flirt with triple-doubles on a regular basis. This was the first time he eclipsed the 30-minute mark since joining the Lakers via trade in early February, and it seems he won't carry any restrictions going forward. In three games as a Laker, Doncic is averaging 14.7 points, 6.7 rebounds and 5.3 assists while shooting a meager 35.6 percent from the floor.

Coach JJ Redick said Tuesday that Doncic will operate under a minutes restriction in Wednesday's game against Charlotte, though he is not expected to remain limited moving forward, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.

Doncic will likely operate under a minutes restriction in the club's first game back after the All-Star break, though he is expected to shoulder his normal workload following Wednesday's contest. The superstar has appeared in two outings with the Lakers since straining his left calf with Dallas on Christmas Day, during which he has amassed 30 points, nine rebounds, eight assists, one steal and one block across 47 total minutes. Doncic will likely hover around the 25-minute mark against Charlotte, and he has yet to surpass 24 minutes with the Lakers.

Coach JJ Redick said Tuesday that Doncic is not expected to operate under a minutes restriction moving forward, Mark Medina of NBA.com reports.

Doncic has played in only two outings since sustaining a left calf strain on Christmas Day, and in his two appearances with the Lakers, he has amassed 30 points, nine rebounds, eight assists, one steal and one block across 47 total minutes. The superstar is expected to shoulder his normal workload against the Hornets on Wednesday, and he could receive more ballhandling responsibilities if LeBron James (foot) is sidelined.

Doncic finished with 16 points (6-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-5 FT), four rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 23 minutes during Wednesday's 131-119 loss to the Jazz.

The 25-year-old has played his first two games with the Lakers under a minutes restriction as he works his way back from a calf injury that had kept him sidelined since Christmas. Doncic still looked rusty Wednesday, committing five fouls and five turnovers, but his performance from three-point range was encouraging. As long as he avoids aggravating his calf, Doncic should see his workload and production grow quickly as he gets his legs back under him.

Doncic (calf) will play in Wednesday's game against the Jazz with a minutes restriction, head coach JJ Redick said, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Doncic was initially listed as questionable for Wednesday's game in Utah but now has been cleared to play while still on a minutes restriction. This will be the second game the superstar forward will play for the Lakers after being traded to the team in the blockbuster trade with the Mavericks.

Doncic (calf) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Jazz.

Doncic has been upgraded from questionable to probable and is on track to suit up for a second straight game after missing more than a month due to a calf injury. On Monday, he posted 14 points (5-14 FG), five rebounds and four assists in 24 minutes during his Lakers debut. Doncic's workload should continue to grow as he puts the calf issue behind him.

Doncic (calf) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Jazz, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Doncic returned from a 23-game absence Monday due to a left calf strain to make his Lakers debut against the Jazz, during which he logged 14 points, five rebounds and four assists over 24 minutes. If Doncic does play in Wednesday's rematch, he'll likely have his minutes restricted from 25-to-30 minutes in order to avoid aggravating his calf injury heading into the All-Star break.

Doncic had 14 points (5-14 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds and four assists over 24 minutes during Monday's 132-113 win over the Jazz.

Doncic didn't have his best shooting performance, though considering his lengthy absence due to a calf injury and the fact this was his first game with a new team, the lack of efficiency can be overlooked. Even though Doncic showed nothing but glimpses of what he can do, it seems the partnership he can form with LeBron James (abdomen) could be a game-changing dynamic for the Lakers once both players get used to playing with each other. Doncic's fantasy value shouldn't take a hit following the switch to LA even if his usage rate declines a bit, as he's expected to be eased into a No. 1 role alongside James.

Coach JJ Redick said that Doncic (calf) is available for Monday's game against the Jazz and will operate under a minutes restriction, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Doncic, who last played on Christmas Day due to a left calf strain, will return to game action and make his Lakers debut Monday.

Doncic (calf) is questionable for Monday's game against Utah, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

Doncic has been on the shelf since Christmas Day due to a left calf strain, though he has been upgraded to questionable to make his Lakers debut Monday. The superstar resumed his activity in 5-on-5 practice after making his way to Los Angeles following last Saturday's trade, which bodes well for his potential return to the court. If Doncic remains sidelined, Gabe Vincent could take on an increased role against the Jazz.

Doncic (calf) is targeting Monday's game against Utah to make his Lakers debut, NBA reporter Marc Stein reports.

Doncic has been sidelined since Christmas Day due to a left calf strain, though he is expected to make his debut with his new squad in the near future. The superstar was able to practice with the Lakers on Wednesday, but it wouldn't come as a surprise if he operates under a minutes restriction whenever he returns. Doncic appeared in 22 regular-season outings with Dallas before he was traded, during which he averaged 28.1 points, 8.3 rebounds, 7.8 assists and 2.0 steals across 35.7 minutes per game.

Lakers coach J.J. Redick said Wednesday that there's a chance Doncic (calf) could return Saturday against the Pacers, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Doncic has been sidelined by a calf strain since Christmas Day, but he continues to progress towards a return. He practiced Wednesday, and a return against the Pacers on Saturday or against the Jazz on Monday is on the table. It wouldn't be surprising if Doncic had some type of restrictions upon his return, however.

Doncic (calf) is considered day-to-day and will go through a 5-on-5 practice Wednesday, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Doncic, who has been sidelined since suffering a left calf strain Christmas Day, is currently working through a "return-to-play plan" and is expected back soon. The Lakers will see how he feels after Wednesday's practice, and a return against the Warriors on Thursday hasn't been ruled out yet. Fantasy managers can expect another update Wednesday afternoon or evening.

The Mavericks are trading Doncic (calf) to the Lakers in exchange for Anthony Davis (abdomen) in a three-team trade involving the Jazz, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

The Lakers will receive Doncic, Maxi Kleber (foot) and Markieff Morris, the Mavericks take back Davis, Max Christie and the Lakers' first-round pick and the Jazz take on Jalen Hood-Schifino (hamstring) and two second-round picks. Doncic has been out of action since suffering a left calf strain on Christmas Day but was projected to return before the All-Star break. The trade is certainly shocking, but Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com relays that the Mavericks' motivation to trade Doncic was due to the concerns about the superstar guard's conditioning issues and the upcoming supermax contract he would be eligible for. Doncic was aiming to return from his left calf injury before the All-Star break, but his return to NBA action will take place in Los Angeles, where he will don the purple and gold alongside LeBron James and Austin Reeves, while Davis will team up with Kyrie Irving and Klay Thompson.

The Mavericks remain optimistic that Doncic (calf) will return to the lineup prior to the All-Star break, according to NBA reporter Marc Stein.

Dallas hasn't provided an official update on Doncic's status since he suffered a left calf strain in the Mavericks' Christmas Day loss to the Timberwolves, but just over a month removed from sustaining the injury, the star point guard appears to be progressing as expected. According to Noah Weber of TheSmokingCuban.com, Doncic has been spotted shooting standstill jumpers at recent practices, but until he's able to resume taking part in full-contact, full-court work, a firm date for his return to game action likely won't be solidified. Doncic's ongoing absence has opened up more playing time out of the backcourt for Spencer Dinwiddie and Quentin Grimes, though neither has been an especially consistent producer on a game-by-game basis.

Doncic will be re-evaluated in a month after sustaining a left calf strain on Christmas Day against the Timberwolves, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

This is one of the worst-case scenarios for the Mavericks, as this is not the first time Doncic has had issues in his left calf. The star guard recorded 14 points (5-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 16 minutes before leaving Wednesday's game, and the Mavericks are expected to be extremely cautious with Doncic's recovery process. Quentin Grimes, Spencer Dinwiddie and Jaden Hardy are candidates for increased roles in the backcourt as long as Doncic remains sidelined.

The Mavericks are bracing for Doncic to miss an extended period after being diagnosed with a left calf strain Wednesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Doncic posted 14 points (5-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 16 minutes before leaving Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves after aggravating a lingering calf injury. The MVP candidate has dealt with multiple lower-body injuries dating back to the Mavericks' surprise run to the NBA Finals last season. While Doncic has been able to play through minor injuries in his career, Dallas will presumably be extremely cautious with him moving forward. In Doncic's absence, Quentin Grimes, Spencer Dinwiddie and Jaden Hardy are candidates for increased roles.

Doncic will not return to Wednesday's Christmas Day contest due to a left calf strain, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

Depending on the severity of Doncic's calf, a multi-week to month-long absence could be expected. Doncic has dealt with five separate incidents of lower body injuries since training camp, which adds up to be taxing from a muscular compensation standpoint on his kinetic chain. He was ruled out mere minutes after suffering the aggravation, which will thrust Spencer Dinwiddie into a higher-usage role for Dallas.

Doncic (heel/calf) exited Wednesday's contest versus Minnesota due to an apparent heel injury in the final minutes of the second quarter. His status to return is unclear.

Doncic entered Wednesday's contest dealing with a left heel contusion, and he had a non-contact aggravation of the same region while attempting to drive on Jaden McDaniels. While Doncic had no abnormal extension or force applied, the simple nature in which his injury occurred is similarly concerning.

Doncic (heel) is available for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.

As expected, Doncic has been upgraded from probable to available and will suit up on Christmas Day. After missing two games with a left heel contusion, Doncic returned to action Monday and posted 27 points (10-19 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 6-8 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 30 minutes during a blowout win over the Trail Blazers.

Doncic (heel) is probable for Wednesday's game against Minnesota.

Doncic returned to action following a two-game absence due to a left heel contusion Monday, producing 27 points (10-19 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 6-8 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 30 minutes. Despite not being 100 percent, the Mavericks are planning on him being available for the Christmas Day slate.

Doncic (heel) totaled 27 points (10-19 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 6-8 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 30 minutes during Monday's 132-108 win over the Trail Blazers.

Doncic returned to action following a two-game absence due to a left heel contusion, and he racked up a game-high mark in points in the win. However, the superstar did struggle from beyond the arc while recording his third game with only one three-pointer made. Doncic has now logged 12 outings with at least 25 points, five rebounds and five assists, and he continues to stuff the stat sheet when healthy.

Doncic (heel) is available to play Monday against the Trail Blazers.

Doncic has been sidelined for the Mavericks' last two games due to a left heel contusion, but he will return for Monday's Western Conference bout. In the six games prior to his injury, Doncic averaged 30.8 points on 52.1 percent shooting, 10.7 rebounds, 9.3 assists and 3.3 steals over 37.3 minutes per game.

Doncic (heel) is listed as questionable for Monday's matchup against the Trail Blazers.

Doncic is in jeopardy of missing his third consecutive outing due to a left heel contusion. If the superstar is sidelined, Spencer Dinwiddie and Quentin Grimes are candidates for an increased role alongside Kyrie Irving in the backcourt.

Doncic (heel) has been ruled out for Saturday's matchup against the Clippers.

Doncic will miss his second consecutive contest due to a left heel contusion. However, the injury shouldn't be a long-term setback as the 25-year-old was able to go through on-court work during Friday's practice. With the superstar sidelined, Spencer Dinwiddie and Quentin Grimes are candidates for increased roles.

Coach Jason Kidd said that Doncic (heel) did some on-court work during Friday's practice, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Doncic sat out of Thursday's loss to the Clippers due to a left heel contusion, though he is ramping up his workload ahead of Saturday's rematch against the Clippers. The superstar should be considered questionable at best for Saturday's game until the team provides an update on Friday. If Doncic remains sidelined, Spencer Dinwiddie and Quentin Grimes are candidates for increased roles.

Doncic (heel) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Clippers, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Doncic had missed back-to-back practices due to a bruised left heel, so his absence doesn't come as much of a surprise. With Jaden Hardy (ankle) also out and Kyrie Irving (shoulder) questionable, more opportunities could be available for Spencer Dinwiddie, Quentin Grimes and Jazian Gortman. Doncic's next chance to play will come Saturday in a rematch with the Clippers.

Doncic (heel) did not practice Wednesday, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.

This was the second missed row in a row for Doncic. Coach Jason Kidd said he will see how Doncic feels Thursday morning, but it sounds like he'll be questionable to face the Clippers. Kyrie Irving (shoulder), who also missed practice Tuesday, was back on the floor for Wednesday's session.

Doncic sat out Tuesday's practice with a left heel contusion, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

This is a minor issue that Doncic has been managing for a while, so it makes sense for the Mavericks to give him a day off. His status for Thursday's game against the Clippers has yet to be determined, but fantasy managers can expect an update on Wednesday.

Doncic totaled 45 points (16-23 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 11 rebounds, 13 assists, two blocks and three steals in 38 minutes during Sunday's 143-133 victory over the Warriors.

Doncic posted a season-best mark of 45 points as the Mavericks picked up their seventh win out of their last eight games. Doncic has been the third best player in nine-category formats during that stretch, posting averages of 28.4 points, 9.4 rebounds, 8.4 assists, 3.1 steals and 4.0 three-pointers.

Doncic provided 16 points (5-15 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists and four steals across 40 minutes during Tuesday's 118-104 loss to the Thunder.

The Thunder were able to effectively slow Doncic down, limiting him to 16 points -- he's been held to 16 or fewer points just three times this season. Doncic also turned the ball over a season-high six times in the defeat. He was red hot coming into Tuesday and is still averaging 28.0 points, 10.6 rebounds, 8.6 assists, 3.4 steals and 4.0 three-pointers over his last five outings.

Doncic supplied 30 points (9-20 FG, 6-13 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 13 rebounds, 11 assists and four steals over 38 minutes during Saturday's 125-118 win over the Raptors.

Doncic registered his first triple-double of the season Thursday against the Wizards, and he followed that up with another elite performance Saturday. The superstar guard connected on a season-high six triples and has logged at least two steals for a fourth straight game. Since returning from a five-game absence due to a sprain right wrist, Doncic has averaged 31.0 points, 10.5 rebounds, 9.5 assists and 3.3 steals over 36.5 minutes per contest.

Doncic closed Thursday's 137-101 victory over the Wizards with 21 points (7-17 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 10 rebounds, 10 assists, one block and two steals over 32 minutes.

After Doncic racked up a whopping 21 triple-doubles a year ago, it wasn't until his 17th appearance of the 2024-25 campaign Thursday that he recorded his first of the season as he also posted his fifth straight game with at least three three-pointers and two steals. Across his last 12 games, Doncic is averaging a superb 29.3 points, 8.7 assists, 7.8 rebounds, 2.2 steals and 3.6 three-pointers in 36.3 minutes per contest. The superstar guard will get another soft matchup Saturday against Toronto, a club that sits 23rd in the league in defensive efficiency rating (115.3).

Doncic posted 37 points (11-22 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 10-16 FT), 12 rebounds, four assists, four steals and one block across 40 minutes in Tuesday's 121-116 win over Memphis.

Doncic stuffed the stat sheet while racking up his eighth 30-plus-point outing across 16 regular-season appearances. On the defensive end, the superstar tied his season-high mark in steals. Doncic has struggled with efficiency from three-point range this year, though his five triples on Tuesday tied his season-high mark during his most productive outing from beyond the arc thus far. Since returning from a five-game absence due to a right wrist sprain, the 25-year-old has put up two monster stat lines, accumulating 73 points, 19 rebounds, 17 assists, seven steals and a block across 76 total minutes.

Doncic (wrist) compiled 36 points (15-24 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 13 assists, seven rebounds and three steals in 36 minutes Sunday in the Mavericks' 137-131 win over the Trail Blazers.

Dallas was without five rotation players Sunday, but Doncic's return from a five-game absence due to a right wrist sprain helped compensate for the lack of depth. With backcourt running mate Kyrie Irving (shoulder) among the players who were sidelined, Quentin Grimes (28 points) and Spencer Dinwiddie (20 points) saw increased involvement, but the offense ran through Doncic, who immediately resumed producing at an elite level. For the season, Doncic has still noticed an overall downturn in efficiency from the field (44.9 percent) and three-point range (32.9 percent), which has played a part in his scoring average dropping from 33.9 points per game to 28.6. His strong shooting performance Sunday at least offers hope that he won't be compromised by his wrist moving forward.

Doncic (wrist) is available for Sunday's game against Portland.

Doncic will suit up after a five-game absence due to a sprained right wrist. The superstar will be tasked with leading an offense that is without several starters, including Kyrie Irving (shoulder), Klay Thompson (foot), Dereck Lively (knee) and Naji Marshall (illness). In his last five outings, Doncic has averaged 26.8 points, 7.0 assists, 7.0 rebounds and 2.0 steals while shooting 49.5 percent from the field across 35.6 minutes per game.

Doncic (wrist) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Doncic is in jeopardy of missing his sixth consecutive game due to a sprained right wrist. The superstar returned to practice earlier in the week, and the questionable tag suggests he is nearing a return to game action. If Doncic is unable to suit up, Quentin Grimes and Jaden Hardy should see an uptick in playing time, especially if Kyrie Irving (shoulder) is sidelined as well.

Doncic (wrist) is out for Saturday's game against the Jazz, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Doncic was listed as doubtful to play despite returning to practice earlier this week, but this matchup against Utah comes too soon for his return. It remains to be seen if he'll be available for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers in the second leg of a back-to-back set. Expect Jaden Hardy to remain in the lineup with Doncic out.

Doncic (wrist) is doubtful for Saturday's game against the Jazz.

Doncic returned to practice Friday, and while that was an encouraging sign for his availability, the doubtful tag suggests he might not be ready to return as quickly as initially expected. If that's the case, then Quentin Grimes and Jaden Hardy could be in line to see an uptick in minutes, while Kyrie Irving, Naji Marshall and others would benefit from an uptick in their usage rate.

Doncic (wrist) has returned to practice ahead of Saturday's game against the Jazz, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Doncic has missed the Mavericks' last four games due to a sprained right wrist, though his return to practice bodes well for his potential comeback against Utah. The superstar's status should be updated Friday, though he'll likely be considered questionable at best for Saturday. If Doncic remains sidelined, Quentin Grimes and Jaden Hardy should continue seeing an uptick in playing time.

Doncic is expected to be re-evaluated in one week from Thursday after sustaining a right wrist strain, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Doncic began feeling pain in his wrist during the first quarter of Tuesday's game versus the Pelicans, per Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com. While the superstar forward was able to finish the contest and log 30 minutes of action, it appears the injury is more serious than initially expected. With Doncic sidelined for at least a week, Jaden Hardy, Quentin Grimes and Spencer Dinwiddie are all candidates to receive increased playing time in his absence.

Doncic logged 26 points (10-16 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-5 FT), five rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals in 30 minutes during Tuesday's 132-91 victory over the Pelicans.

Doncic returned from a one-game absence, dropping a game-high 26 points. With the Mavericks taking control of this one early, the coaching staff were even able to put Doncin on ice down the stretch. Any rest is good rest at this point and something the team would love to see more of. It is likely Doncic will continue to battle minor ailments for the majority of the season, such is the way he approaches the game.

Doncic (knee) is listed as available for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.

Doncic will give it a go after missing Sunday's win over the Thunder due to a lingering right knee contusion. The superstar has averaged 27.6 points, 7.4 rebounds, 7.4 assists and 1.6 steals across 38.0 minutes per game over his last five outings.

Doncic (knee) participated in Tuesday's morning shootaround, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Doncic is currently listed as questionable to face the Pelicans on Tuesday, but his availability at the morning session is a good sign. He was unable to play Sunday against the Thunder after admitting that he's been playing through a lingering knee issue. If he doesn't get the green light for Tuesday, Quentim Grimes could possibly draw another start.

Doncic (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans.

Doncic admitted after Saturday's win over the shorthanded Spurs that he's been less than 100 percent over the last week, so it wasn't surprising to see him get the night off during Sunday's game against the Thunder, which the Mavericks surprisingly won. That was Doncic's first absence of the season, and if the MVP candidate remains sidelined Tuesday, Quentin Gimes would likely draw another star.

Doncic has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Thunder due to a right knee contusion.

Doncic admitted after Saturday's win over the shorthanded Spurs that he's been less than 100 percent over the last week, so it's not surprising to see him get a night off. Doncic's next chance to suit up will come Tuesday versus New Orleans. In Doncic's absence, Quentin Grimes, Jaden Hardy and Spencer Dinwiddie are candidates for increased usage.

Doncic posted 16 points (6-16 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 1-3 FT), six rebounds, six assists and two steals across 28 minutes during Saturday's 110-93 victory over the Spurs.

Even though a 16-point, six-rebound, six-assist line could be surprising for some players, that's a low-level effort for a player of Doncic's caliber. The 16-point effort was his second-lowest mark of the 2024-25 campaign, but considering that Doncic has scored at least 30 points in three of his last five outings, he should have the chance to bounce back when the Mavs take on the Thunder on Sunday. That promises to be a tougher matchup for Doncic due to the quality OKC has on the defensive end of the court.

Doncic (knee) is available for Saturday's game against the Spurs.

Doncic was listed as probable due to a right knee injury, but he'll suit up and is expected to see his regular workload. Doncic has reached the 30-point mark in three of his last four games, averaging 20.5 points, 7.8 rebounds and 7.8 assists per game in that stretch.

Doncic (knee) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Spurs.

Doncic is dealing with a lingering right knee contusion, though he was able to suit up in Thursday's loss to Utah, during which he posted 37 points (13-25 FG, 4-13 3Pt, 7-7 FT), nine assists, seven rebounds and a steal across 38 minutes. The superstar should be able to continue playing through the injury, and he will get some more assistance with the Mavericks expected to welcome back Kyrie irving (shoulder), who is off the injury report after missing Thursday's game.

Doncic finished with 37 points (13-25 FG, 4-13 3Pt, 7-7 FT), seven rebounds, nine assists and a steal across 38 minutes in Thursday's 115-113 loss to the Jazz.

Doncic posted his second-best scoring mark of the campaign and his third game with at least 30 points in his last four appearances, but his efforts were not enough as the Mavericks came up short on the road. Doncic also sniffed a triple-double, and even if the Mavericks lose a few games, Doncic will remain extremely valuable in all formats going forward. He's scored at least 30 points in five of seven appearances this month.

Doncic (knee) is available for Thursday's game against the Jazz, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Doncic will play through a right knee contusion Thursday, and he has yet to miss a game this season while dealing with a left groin strain and the knee issue. The superstar should handle more than his normal workload offensively with both Kyrie Irving (shoulder) and P.J. Washington (knee) ruled out. Through 11 regular-season outings, Doncic has averaged 28.5 points, 8.1 rebounds, 8.0 assists and 1.5 steals across 37.9 minutes per game. However, he has shot only 41.9 percent from the field and 32.1 percent from beyond the arc.

Doncic is listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Jazz due to a right knee contusion.

Doncic is a little banged up heading into Thursday's contest, picking up a bruised right knee. The 25-year-old superstar has been off to a slow start to 2024-25, averaging 28.5 points, 8.1 rebounds and 8.0 assists through 11 games. He averaged 33.9 points, 9.2 rebounds and 9.2 assists per game during the 2023-24 regular season.

Doncic recorded 31 points (13-27 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and three steals over 41 minutes during Tuesday's 120-117 loss to the Warriors.

Doncic struggled with his shot a bit in the loss, and he wasn't able to stave off Golden State's dramatic rally in the closing minutes. A lack of support from his teammates and an inability close out games are hurting Doncic's value somewhat, but he remains a Top 10 fantasy target, even when his totals don't meet expectations.

Doncic (groin) is active for Tuesday's game against the Warriors.

Doncic sustained a minor groin strain but will play versus Golden State. He will be joined by Dereck Lively (shoulder) and Maxi Kleber (hamstring), both of which are making their respective returns following multi-game absences.

Doncic is probable for Tuesday's game against the Warriors due to a left groin strain.

Doncic is expected to continue playing through a minor groin strain. He's yet to miss a contest this season, averaging 28.3 points, 8.2 assists, 8.1 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 37.6 minutes per game through 10 appearances.

Doncic totaled 24 points (9-19 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 4-6 FT), nine rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal in 41 minutes during Sunday's 122-120 loss to the Nuggets.

Doncic finished just one rebound and one assist away from recording his first triple-double of 2024/25. The star guard has everyone so accustomed to filling the stat sheet regularly that it's a bit odd that he hasn't posted a triple-double yet 10 games into the regular season. It hasn't been for a lack of trying, however, as Doncic is averaging 29.4 points, 10.2 assists and 7.8 rebounds per game in five appearances this month.

Doncic (groin) will play during Sunday's game against the Nuggets

Doncic is dealing with a groin strain but he will be able to play through it Sunday. Doncic has been as advertised of late, averaging 30.4 points, 8.8 assists, 7.0 rebounds and 1.6 steals in 37.2 minutes per game over his last five appearances.

Doncic (groin) is expected to play against the Nuggets on Sunday, NBA writer Marc Stein reports.

Doncic suffered a groin injury during the Mavericks' loss to the Suns on Friday. However, the issue doesn't appear to be serious enough to be sidelined for Sunday's game. Through nine regular-season games, Doncic is averaging 28.8 points, 8.1 assists, 8.0 rebounds and 1.3 steals over 37.2 minutes per game.

Doncic is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Nuggets due to a left groin strain, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Doncic appears to have injured his groin against Phoenix and could miss his first game of the season Sunday. If the superstar guard is forced to sit out, Spencer Dinwiddie, Jaden Hardy and Quentin Grimes are candidates to receive increased playing time.

Doncic logged 30 points (11-25 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 42 minutes during Friday's 114-113 loss to the Suns.

Doncic finished just three rebounds and three assists away from recording what would've been his first triple-double of the season. The stats are there for anyone to see them, and Doncic remains an elite producer regardless of the format you're playing, but the efficiency is starting to become an issue. Through nine contests in 2024-25, he's shooting just 40.7 percent from the field and 34.1 percent from deep, with both figures being down compared to any of his previous five seasons.

Doncic supplied 27 points (8-19 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 8-9 FT), seven rebounds, 13 assists and four steals over 32 minutes during Wednesday's 119-99 win over Chicago.

Doncic has now recorded double-doubles in back-to-back contests. After registering four swipes against the Bulls, the superstar guard is now averaging 1.4 steals on the season. However, Doncic is struggling with his efficiency, shooting just 40.2 percent from the field and 32.9 percent from three across eight appearances in 2024-25.

Doncic notched 34 points (9-24 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 12-15 FT), seven rebounds, 15 assists and two steals in 42 minutes during Monday's 134-127 loss to the Pacers.

Although Doncic had some shooting issues inside the arc, he generated 12 points at the charity stripe to support his total. Monday marked Doncic's third double-double, and the first line that featured double-digit assists instead of rebounds.

Doncic accumulated 32 points (11-22 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 5-7 FT), nine rebounds and seven assists over 32 minutes during Sunday's 108-85 victory over the Magic.

Doncic led the Mavericks in both assists and scoring while setting his second-highest mark in points of the season. The superstar stuffed the stat sheet in the blowout victory, and he also checked out of the fourth quarter early. The 25-year-old made five of his 13 three-point attempts after a three-game stint in which he shot only 5-for-24 from beyond the arc. Through six regular-season games, the All-Star has averaged 28.0 points, 8.5 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 1.3 steals-plus-blocks across 36.3 minutes per game. Doncic has had some struggles with efficiency thus far, and he is shooting only 31.1 percent from deep.

Doncic amassed 29 points (12-25 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Thursday's 108-102 loss to the Rockets.

Doncic and Kyrie Irving combined for 57 of the Mavericks' 102 points Thursday, but the superstar duo were unable to pull off the fourth-quarter comeback. Doncic was unusually quiet in his rebounding and assists in the loss, but that should be viewed as an anomaly as he averaged 9.8 assists and 9.2 rebounds across 70 games during the 2023-24 regular season.

Doncic ended Tuesday's 120-114 victory over the Timberwolves with 24 points (10-27 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, nine assists and one steal over 40 minutes.

Despite a minor knee injury he suffered late in the second quarter, Doncic still saw his biggest workload of 2024-25 in a rematch of last season's Western Conference Finals. The 25-year-old superstar has dished eight or more assists in three of four games so far while pulling down at least eight rebounds in each contest.

Doncic (knee) started the third quarter of Tuesday's game versus the Timberwolves.

Doncic suffered an apparent leg injury late in the second quarter of Tuesday's contest but returned after missing just over a minute of game time. The superstar guard should be available to complete the game against Minnesota.

Doncic went back to the locker room after sustaining an injury to his right leg with 1:10 remaining in the second quarter of Tuesday's game against the Timberwolves, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Doncic was unable to run back on defense before scoring on the fast break. He then asked to be subbed out of the game before limping to the locker room. The superstar seemed to be unable to put any weight on his right leg after Jaden McDaniels collided with the back of his knee. If Doncic is unable to return, Jaden Hardy and Spencer Dinwiddie are candidates for an increased role.

Doncic notched 15 points (5-22 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 4-6 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists, one block and two steals in 33 minutes during Monday's 110-102 win over the Jazz.

Doncic was coming off a 40-point performance in the loss to the Suns on Saturday, and while he flirted with a triple-double in this win Monday, there's no question he had a rough showing from a shooting perspective. That happens often with Doncic, though when it occurs, he usually bounces back right away. Thus, fantasy managers shouldn't be worried by one subpar shooting effort from one of the best players in The Association -- especially when he's averaging 27.7 points, 9.7 rebounds and 6.7 assists per game to open the 2024-25 campaign.

Doncic closed with 40 points (12-25 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 11-12 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and one block over 39 minutes during Saturday's 114-102 loss to the Suns.

The Mavericks came up short Saturday and had to settle with the loss in this battle of contending teams against the Suns, but Doncic led all players in scoring and delivered one of the best fantasy stat lines of the entire Saturday slate. Doncic has been a man on a mission in his first two outings of the 2024-25 campaign, racking up 68 points, 20 rebounds, 12 assists and two blocks combined.

Doncic totaled 28 points (9-25 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 10 rebounds, eight assists, one block and one steal across 36 minutes during Thursday's 120-109 victory over the Spurs.

Doncic didn't have his best shooting performance, but that won't matter much as long as he can put up numbers like these on a game-to-game basis. The star guard made a couple of highlight plays throughout the night, including a no-look pass for a P.J. Washington corner three in the third quarter, and he showed he's ready to pick things up right where he left them in 2023-24.

Doncic (calf) said he's ready to play Thursday against the Spurs, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Doncic missed the entire preseason with a left calf contusion, but the injury was always considered to be minor. Doncic added that his calf feels "perfect," so fantasy managers shouldn't be expecting any restrictions for Opening Night.

Doncic (calf) won't play in Thursday's preseason game versus the Bucks, NBA writer Marc Stein reports.

Despite returning to practice Wednesday, Doncic will sit out Dallas' preseason finale due to a left calf bruise. However, the star guard should be able to suit up for the team's regular-season opener against San Antonio on Oct. 24.

Doncic (calf) practiced fully Wednesday, but coach Jason Kidd says that he will "most likely not participate" in Thursday's preseason contest against Milwaukee, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Doncic logging a full practice Wednesday is a significant milestone with Opening Night against San Antonio being eight days away. The 25-year-old's left calf bruise will continue to be cautiously managed, however, making it unlikely he will suit up for Dallas' final preseason game. His availability for the start of the regular season has never been in serious doubt, and that remains the case.

Doncic (calf) will not play in Monday's preseason game against the Clippers, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.

Doncic returned to non-contact practice Saturday and then took part in a lengthy workout following Monday's morning shootaround. His status for Thursday's preseason finale against the Bucks has yet to be determined, but it's safe to assume that he's on track for Opening Night on Oct. 24.

Doncic already missed the preseason opener against the Grizzlies, and the Mavericks are being extremely cautious with his injury. His next chance to play will come against the Clippers on Monday, though the Mavs only have two preseason tune-ups left before their regular-season opener against the Spurs on Oct. 24.

Doncic (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's preseason opener against the Grizzlies, NBA writer Marc Stein reports.

Doncic took an inadvertent kick to his left calf during Sunday's private workout and underwent an MRI on Tuesday after experiencing tightness during Monday's first training camp practice. The MVP candidate will likely miss more than one exhibition and could be sidelined for the entire preseason schedule. However, per Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com, Doncic is expected to be ready for the regular-season opener against the Spurs on Oct. 24.

Doncic suffered a left calf contusion during Wednesday's practice and will be re-evaluated in one week.

Doncic dealt with ankle, knee and chest injuries during the Mavericks' playoff run last season but didn't miss any games and was active during the summer, playing for the Slovenia national team during an Olympic qualifying tournament. It's concerning to see the MVP candidate already dealing with another injury, but there's no indication he's in danger of missing the start of the regular season.

Doncic is ramping up his workload ahead of training camp and has been practicing with the club Illirija in Slovenia, the DLLS Mavs Podcast reports.

Doncic had a busy offseason while preparing for the 2024-25 season. The All-Star appeared in three outings for Slovenia during the qualifying round of the Paris Olympics, totaling 83 points, 29 rebounds and 25 assists in that span. After being eliminated from the Olympic games, Doncic spent time practicing with Illirija in Slovenia, and he is fully ready for training camp after a short offseason. The perennial MVP candidate averaged a career-high 33.9 points, 9.8 assists and 9.2 rebounds across 37.5 minutes per game in 70 regular-season outings last year.

Doncic produced 21 points (7-14 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 2-6 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and one steal across 34 minutes in Slovenia's 96-68 loss to Greece on Saturday.

Doncic produced a decent game against Giannis Antetokounmpo and Greece, but Slovenia was eliminated from the Paris Olympic Qualifying Tournament with their second Group Phase loss. Through three games, the 25-year-old accumulated 83 points, 29 rebounds, 25 assists and three steals. Doncic shot 38.7 percent from the field, which was drastically brought down by his combined 8-for-30 from deep. The All-Star was a top MVP candidate last year, during which he averaged 33.9 points, 9.8 assists, 9.2 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 70 regular-season games. Doncic will now get a much-needed break from game action after a long NBA season that included a loss to the Celtics in the NBA Finals.

Doncic posted 26 points (8-23 FG, 0-9 3Pt, 10-11 FT), 11 rebounds, 10 assists and one steal across 37 minutes in Slovenia's 108-92 loss to Croatia on Tuesday.

Doncic is known for his ability to do it all on a nightly basis. The All-Star accumulated 21 triple-doubles in the 2023-24 regular-season, and he has become a walking triple-double with the Mavericks throughout his six-year career. Doncic was a top MVP candidate last season, during which he averaged 33.9 points, 9.8 assists, 9.2 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 70 regular-season appearances. However, he shot just 0-for-9 from deep against Croatia, an issue he also had in the NBA Finals against Boston when he shot just 24.4 percent from three in five games.

Doncic (ankle/knee/chest) is expected to play in Slovenia's exhibition match against Brazil on Friday, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

Slovenia's roster hasn't been finalized, so Doncic's availability hasn't been confirmed. However, the NBA superstar is expected to play after sitting out a match against Lithuania on Tuesday. Friday's game is Slovenia's final preparation before the Olympic Qualifying Tournament in Greece, which starts July 2. Doncic dealt with multiple injuries during Dallas' run to the NBA Finals, so Slovenia is expected to monitor his workload during the Olympics.

Doncic ended Monday's 106-88 loss to the Celtics in Game 5 of the NBA Finals with 28 points (12-25 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 2-5 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists and three steals across 43 minutes.

Despite losing the series 4-1, Doncic was spectacular for the Mavericks in the NBA Finals. The five-time All-Star dealt with a litany of injuries throughout the playoffs, including a thoracic contusion, a right knee sprain and left ankle soreness, but still led all players in scoring in the Finals. Across five NBA Finals games, Doncic averaged 29.2 points, 8.8 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 2.6 steals while shooting 47.2 percent from the field. The 25-year-old did struggle from deep, shooting only 24.4 percent, and he was also seen as a defensive liability at times. However, Doncic and the Mavericks will look to build off their strong season and run it back next year, as he now has NBA Finals experience under his belt.

Doncic (thoracic contusion) is available for Monday's Game 5 of the NBA Finals versus the Celtics.

Doncic is dealing with a thoracic contusion, but he has been upgraded from probable to available ahead of Monday's Game 5. The All-Star will lead the Mavericks into Boston, looking to cut the series deficit to 3-2 and comeback from down 3-0, something that has never been done in NBA Finals history. Doncic has been solid throughout the series, averaging 29.5 points, 8.0 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 2.5 steals across 37.8 minutes while shooting 47.0 percent from the field.

Doncic (thoracic contusion) is listed as probable for Monday's Game 5 of the NBA Finals versus the Celtics.

Doncic has been a mainstay on the injury report in the playoffs but with the Mavericks' NBA Finals hopes in jeopardy, his status seems to be nothing more than precautionary. Through four NBA Finals games, the All-Star is averaging 29.5 points, 8.0 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 2.5 steals across 37.8 minutes. Doncic has struggled from deep shooting just 25.0 percent from three; however, he is still shooting 47.0 percent from the field this series.

Doncic accumulated 29 points (12-26 FG, 0-8 3Pt, 5-7 FT), five rebounds, five assists and three steals over 33 minutes during Friday's 122-84 win over Boston in Game 4 of the NBA Finals.

Doncic had another rough showing from a shooting perspective, needing 26 shots to score 29 points and missing all eight of his three-point attempts, but he still led Dallas in scoring as the Mavericks kept themselves alive for at least one more game. Doncic has surpassed the 25-point mark in 11 consecutive games during the current playoff run and is expected to play a prominent role for the Mavericks in Game 5 of the series Monday, as he'll probably have to lead the team again if they want to pull the upset at TD Garden.

Doncic (thoracic contusion) is available for Friday's Game 4 of the NBA Finals against the Celtics.

Doncic has been upgraded from probable to available Friday despite dealing with a thoracic contusion. The superstar guard is averaging 29.7 points, 9.0 rebounds, 6.0 assists and 2.3 steals in 39.3 minutes across the first three games of the NBA Finals.

Doncic (thoracic contusion) is probable for Friday's Game 4 matchup with the Celtics.

Doncic is a bit banged up at the moment, but there's absolutely no way that he'll be sitting out a potential elimination game in the Finals. Expect to get official confirmation on his status closer to Friday's tip.

Doncic closed with 27 points (11-27 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one steal over 38 minutes before fouling out of Wednesday's 106-99 loss to Boston in Game 3 of the NBA Finals.

Doncic entered the fourth quarter with only two fouls to his name, but he was called for four fouls in the final 12 minutes of action, sending him off and erasing any possibility of a potential comeback. At that point, the Mavericks had reduced the deficit to just three points, and not having Doncic down the stretch certainly limited them. The Mavericks certainly expected more from their superstar guard, who'll now have his back against the wall if he doesn't want to get swept in Game 4 on Friday.

Doncic (chest) is available for Game 3 of the NBA Finals against the Celtics on Wednesday.

As expected, Doncic has been upgraded from probable to available for the first matchup in Dallas after Boston took the first two games at home. Doncic needed a pain-killing injection before Game 2 and might require something similar for Game 3, but no specifics were released ahead of tipoff. Doncic posted 32 points (12-21 FG), 4-9 3Pt, 4-8 FT), 11 rebounds, 11 assists and four steals in 42 minutes during Game 2.

Doncic (chest) is probable for Game 3 of the NBA Finals versus the Celtics on Wednesday, but said Tuesday during media availability that he "feels good" ahead of Game 3, Jay King of The Athletic reports.

Doncic has been a mainstay on the injury report but has not missed a postseason game yet, averaging 29.0 points, 9.7 rebounds, 8.5 assists and 1.8 steals across 19 playoff games. The All-Star is dealing with a right knee sprain, left ankle soreness and most recently, a thoracic contusion which required a pain-killing injection prior to Game 2. Doncic was stellar in Sunday's 105-98 Game 2 loss to Boston, racking up 32 points (12-21 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-8 FT), 11 rebounds, 11 assists and four steals across 42 minutes. The 25-year-old will look to lead the Mavericks to their first win of the series in Dallas after dropping the first two games on the road.

Doncic received a pain-killing injection prior to Game 2 of the NBA Finals against the Celtics on Sunday to numb the area of his thoracic contusion, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

Doncic has been a mainstay on the injury report throughout the postseason, dealing with a right knee sprain, left ankle soreness and now a thoracic contusion. However, that did not stop him from playing in Game 2 on Sunday, when he put up a triple-double with 32 points (12-21 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-8 FT), 11 rebounds, 11 assists and four steals across 42 minutes in the Mavericks' 105-98 loss. Doncic will likely receive the same injection ahead of Game 3, as the Mavericks look to win their first game of the series in Dallas on Wednesday.

Doncic amassed 32 points (12-21 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-8 FT), 11 rebounds, 11 assists and four steals over 42 minutes during Sunday's 105-98 loss to the Celtics in Game 2 of the NBA Finals.

Doncic recorded his third triple-double across his last six playoff appearances. Still, the star guard wasn't comfortable all game long, as he was seen arguing with officials and not happy about a few calls against him. Despite the team's overall struggles and the fact the Mavericks are now 0-2 in the series, Doncic remains a dominant player in all fantasy formats. While he's bound to land on the injury report before Game 3 on Wednesday, he's not expected to miss a game, especially with the Mavs being in the position they're in.

Doncic (knee/ankle/chest) is available for Game 2 of the NBA Finals against the Celtics on Sunday.

Doncic was downgraded to questionable for Sunday's matchup due to a thoracic contusion and was considered a game-time decision, but he's been cleared to suit up after his participation in pregame warmups.

Doncic (knee/ankle/chest) is considered a game-time decision for Game 2 of the NBA Finals against the Celtics on Sunday, Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Doncic was downgraded to questionable ahead of Sunday's Game 2, but NBA writer Marc Stein reported earlier in the day that the point guard was on track to play. However, coach Jason Kidd said during his pregame press conference that Doncic will go through warmups before the Mavericks determine his status for the matchup. If Doncic is cleared to play, it's possible Dallas monitors his playing time as the Mavericks attempt to even the series.

Doncic (knee/ankle/chest) is listed as questionable for Game 2 of the NBA Finals versus the Celtics on Sunday, but is expected to play, NBA writer Marc Stein reports.

Doncic was previously downgraded from probable to questionable due to a thoracic contusion, but he is expected to suit up for the crucial Game 2 in Boston. The All-Star was in clear discomfort during Saturday's shootaround, notably grabbing at his chest as he has dealt with a litany of injuries throughout the playoffs. However, with the threat of going down 0-2, Doncic is expected to give it a go before the series heads back to Dallas in Game 3.

Doncic has been downgraded to questionable for Sunday's Game 2 against the Celtics due to a thoracic contusion.

Doncic has been a regular on the injury report throughout the postseason due to a right knee sprain and left ankle soreness but is now being listed with a thoracic contusion after missing the media portion of Dallas' morning shootaround. It'd be a major shock if Doncic doesn't suit up Sunday, but the superstar point guard may be limited if he gets the green light. Doncic posted 30 points, 10 rebounds and one assist in 38 minutes during Game 1.

Doncic (knee/ankle) is probable for Game 2 of the NBA Finals versus the Celtics on Sunday.

Doncic has been a main stay on the injury report throughout the playoffs, which has not stopped him from playing yet in this deep Mavericks run. The All-Star is averaging 28.8 points, 9.7 rebounds, 8.4 assists and 1.7 steals while shooting 44.0 percent from the field across 41.3 minutes in 18 playoff games. Doncic will look to lead the Mavs to a win Sunday after putting up a triple-double in Thursday's Game 1 loss.

Doncic registered 30 points (12-26 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 2-5 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and two steals across 38 minutes during Thursday's 107-89 loss to Boston in Game 1 of the NBA Finals.

Doncic was the Mavericks' best player by a wide margin in this Game 1 loss, but his efforts were not enough, and at times, he looked extremely isolated on offense, as if he was the only player trying to create something out of nothing. The Celtics suffocated him with intense marking and pressure all over the court every time he had the ball, and the rest of the team didn't do enough to warrant attention from the defense when Doncic managed to find an open teammate. Expect Doncic to continue having a high usage rate and possibly put up excellent numbers again in Game 2 on Sunday.

Doncic (knee) will be available for Game 1 versus Boston on Thursday, as expected.

Doncic was listed as probable on the initial injury report, just like he has been throughout the playoffs, and that trend will likely continue throughout the Finals. He shouldn't have any minutes restrictions and should be ready to shoulder a heavy load on offense.

Doncic has been a regular on the injury report all postseason but hasn't missed a game, averaging 28.8 points, 9.6 rebounds, 8.8 assists and 1.6 steals in 41.5 minutes across 17 appearances. The superstar point guard shouldn't face any restrictions during Game 1 in Boston.

Doncic posted 36 points (14-22 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 10 rebounds, five assists and two steals in 37 minutes during Thursday's 124-103 win over the Timberwolves in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals.

Doncic set the tone early, tallying 20 points in the first quarter of Thursday's win to clinch the series over Minnesota. Doncic scored at least 30 points in four of the five contests and averaged 32.4 points, 9.6 rebounds, 8.2 assists and 2.2 steals on 47.3/43.4/84.6 shooting splits across the series. The superstar guard will head into his first NBA Finals against the Celtics after being awarded the Magic Johnson Western Conference Finals MVP.

Doncic (knee/ankle) is questionable for Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals against Minnesota on Thursday.

It wouldn't be surprising to see him fully available once again Thursday as the Mavericks attempt to close out the series.

Doncic produced 28 points (7-21 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 10-12 FT), 15 rebounds, 10 assists and one steal over 41 minutes during Tuesday's 105-100 loss to Minnesota in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals.

Doncic produced his second triple-double of the series Tuesday, but his impressive play was not enough to complete the sweep and secure a berth in the 2024 NBA Finals. Despite the outcome, Doncic remains an absolute stud in all fantasy formats and should remain a must-start player for the subsequent games of the series despite being regularly listed in the injury report. He's averaging 31.5 points, 9.5 rebounds and 9.0 assists per game in these Conference Finals.

Doncic (knee) is available for Tuesday's Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals against Minnesota.

Doncic carrying questionable tags due to minor ankle and knee issues is nothing new, so he'll suit up as expected. There's no word of any restrictions ahead of tipoff.

Although the Mavericks hold a 3-0 lead in the series, it wouldn't be surprising to see Doncic available once again Tuesday.

Doncic recorded 33 points (10-20 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 8-10 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, one block and five steals over 41 minutes during Sunday's 116-107 victory over the Timberwolves in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals.

Another game, another instance where Doncic shone the brightest when the team needed him the most. The Timberwolves attempted a comeback in the second half, and it looked as if the momentum was going to shift their way in the fourth quarter. Still, Doncic was sensational to carry Dallas to a third straight win and put the team just 48 minutes away from a berth in the NBA Finals. Doncic has recorded four triple-doubles and two double-doubles across his last eight playoff appearances.

Doncic (knee) is available for Sunday's Game 3 against the Timberwolves.

Doncic is probable for Friday's Game 2 due to left ankle soreness and a right knee sprain.

Doncic has been dealing with multiple injuries throughout the Mavericks' postseason run, and the fact that he's dealing with two completely independent injuries, goes to show just how banged up he is. Nonetheless, he's been a regular in Dallas' injury report recently, and the probable tag suggests he'll play with no limitations Friday. Doncic racked up 33 points (12-26 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds, eight assists, one block and three steals in 41 minutes during Wednesday's 108-105 victory over Minnesota in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals.

The Mavericks pulled the upset and stole the home-field advantage with a huge win in the series opener, and Doncic played a pivotal role in that outcome, leading the team in scoring and assists while also delivering 15 points, three rebounds and two steals in the fourth quarter alone.

Doncic did just enough to get his team over the line, recording his third straight triple-double despite dealing with multiple injuries. Heading into the Western Conference Finals, Dallas will be hoping that Doncic can continue to play through his ailments. With a physical matchup almost certainly on the cards, Doncic is simply going to have to absorb any contact that might come his way, while trying to maintain his composure.

Doncic (knee) is available for Saturday's Game 6 against the Thunder.

Doncic has been pushing through questionable and probable tags throughout the playoffs with various injuries, but he's yet to miss a single game. Look for him to see his usual workload Saturday.

Doncic is probable for Saturday's Game 6 against the Thunder due to a right knee sprain and left ankle soreness.

Doncic has been playing through several ailments of late, but that didn't seem to slow him down Wednesday, as he posted his second triple-double of the series while carrying the Mavericks to a huge road win. The Mavericks are now potentially 48 minutes away from reaching the Western Conference Finals, and Doncic is expected to play a prominent role on offense in Game 6 on Saturday.

Doncic (ankle/knee) is active and starting Wednesday's Game 5 against the Thunder.

Doncic was initially labeled probable with lingering knee and ankle injuries but, as expected, will suit up for Wednesday's tilt. Considering he hasn't faced any restrictions since sustaining the injury, Doncic should see as many minutes as he can handle in the pivotal matchup.

Doncic (knee/ankle) is listed as probable for Wednesday's Game 5, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

Doncic continues to deal with a right knee sprain and left ankle soreness but is expected to suit up yet again. Doncic is averaging 41.0 minutes per contest across the first four games of the series and is unlikely to operate under a minutes restriction in Game 5.

On the surface, Doncic's final stat line looks good, as he posted his second triple-double of the postseason and made his presence felt on the defensive end. However, the star guard is battling with several injuries, and he looked a step slow in some sequences, as well as being extremely inefficient with his shot. Doncic is averaging 22.0 points, 10.8 rebounds and 7.8 assists per game in the series against the Thunder, and the decrease in the scoring column is directly tied to the fact he's shooting a mere 39 percent from the floor. He'll aim to bounce back in Game 5 on Wednesday.

Doncic (knee) will play in Monday's Game 4 against the Thunder, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

Doncic took a step in the right direction by participating in morning shootaround, and he's since been given the green light to suit up for Monday's matchup.

Doncic (knee) was able to participate at Monday's morning shootaround, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

Doncic is questionable for Monday's Game 4 against Oklahoma City with a right knee sprain and left ankle soreness, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

Doncic lands a questionable tag for a second straight game as he battles a slew of injuries. Despite being banged up, Doncic has played at least 39 minutes in every playoff game, averaging 27.7 points, 9.3 rebounds, 8.7 assists and 1.4 steals per contest. If he isn't able to play Monday, Dante Exum and Jaden Hardy would likely take on expanded roles.

Doncic totaled 22 points (7-17 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 7-10 FT), 15 rebounds, five assists and two steals across 40 minutes during Saturday's 105-101 victory over the Thunder in Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

Doncic sealed the Game 3 win by winning a jump ball in the closing seconds and grabbing the loose ball before the buzzer. While Doncic's inspired play was a clear difference-maker in the victory, he left the court favoring his left ankle. His injury struggles were noticeable throughout the game, as his ankle and lingering knee issue limited his speed in transition. Still, Doncic played through the pain and delivered his best rebound total of the postseason. Although Doncic may find himself on the injury report for Monday evening's rematch, he'll carry a full load if his body can take the beating.

Doncic (knee/ankle) is available for Saturday's Game 3 against Oklahoma City.

Doncic has been dealing with a sprained right knee and, more recently, a sore left ankle. However, he's been able to play in every playoff contest this far and will be active for Game 3. Doncic has averaged 24.0 points, 8.0 assists, 8.0 rebounds and 2.5 steals over 41.0 minutes in the first two games of the series.

Doncic is questionable for Saturday's Game 3 against the Thunder due to a right knee sprain and left ankle soreness.

Doncic has been playing through the knee sprain throughout the postseason, but the ankle issue is new. He also smacked his face on the court during Game 2 on Thursday, but that's not mentioned in the official report. Despite all the injuries, the Mavericks were able to even the series and claim home-court advantage behind Doncic's 16-point first quarter. The superstar point guard is likely more probable than questionable for Game 3, but his official availability will likely come down to a game-time decision.

Doncic provided 29 points (11-21 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists, one block and three steals over 41 minutes during Thursday's 119-110 victory over Oklahoma City in Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

Doncic had been struggling with his shot in recent games, but he bounced back admirably in this Game 2 victory, nailing five of his eight attempts from beyond the arc and returning to the regular scoring figures he'd been delivering throughout the entire playoff run. Doncic should play a key role in Game 3 of the series, scheduled for Saturday in Dallas.

Doncic (knee) will be available for Thursday's Game 2 against the Thunder.

No surprise here, as Doncic was able to practice Wednesday and was previously carrying a probable tag. When speaking to the media, coach Jason Kidd made no mention of any restrictions.

Coach Jason Kidd said Doncic (knee) practiced Wednesday and is probable for Thursday's Game 2 against the Thunder, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Doncic continues to play through a right knee sprain but was far from his best in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals, as he finished with 19 points (6-19 FG) and five turnovers. The MVP candidate is shooting just 39.5 percent during the postseason, but he remains productive and is averaging 28.3 points, 9.4 assists, 8.4 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 42.3 minutes per game.

Doncic (knee) is available for Tuesday's Game 1 against the Thunder, Rylan Stiles of FanSided.com reports.

Doncic (knee) is probable for Tuesday's Game 1 against the Thunder, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

Doncic also dealt with a knee injury for most of the Mavericks' first-round series but wasn't forced to miss any time. He maintained a high level of production, averaging 29.8 points, 9.5 assists and 8.8 rebounds in 42.5 minutes per game. The 25-year-old should continue to be available for the start of the second round.

Doncic accumulated 28 points (9-26 FG, 1-10 3Pt, 9-11 FT), seven rebounds, 13 assists, one block and one steal in 43 minutes during Friday's 114-101 win over the Clippers in Game 6 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

Kyrie Irving led the way for the Mavericks on offense, and Doncic didn't have his most efficient display, but he filled the stat sheet admirably and finished just three rebounds away from a triple-double. The fact that he surpassed the 25-point mark in all but one of the six games in the series against the Clippers shows how dominant Doncic can be on offense, and the numbers don't lie, as he averaged 29.8 points, 9.5 assists and 8.8 rebounds per game in the first round, posting four double-doubles and one triple-double in the process.

Doncic notched 35 points (14-26 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds, 10 assists and one steal in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 123-93 win over the Clippers in Game 5 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

Doncic was a man of his word, providing Kyrie Irving with more help on the offensive end, leading all scorers with 35 points. The victory puts Dallas within one win of victory, leaving the Clippers on the brink of another underwhelming playoff campaign. The series will shift back to Dallas where Doncic will be hoping to replicate this performance.

Doncic (knee/illness) said he'll play in Wednesday's Game 5 against the Clippers, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

As expected, Doncic will play after being listed as probable with a sprained knee. The MVP candidate said if it was the regular season he probably wouldn't be playing through the knee pain and is also just getting over an illness, so despite being good to go, Doncic's effectiveness is something to keep an eye on. He's averaged 29.0 points, 9.8 rebounds, 8.5 assists and 1.0 steals in 43.3 minutes over the first four games of the series, but he's shooting just 38.6 percent from the field, including 27.1 percent from deep.

Doncic has a sprained knee and is probable for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Clippers, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

Doncic still put up a triple-double during Sunday's Game 4 loss, but he tweaked his right knee, which has given him problems since Game 3. The MVP candidate is expected to suit up for the critical Game 5 in Los Angeles, but his effectiveness will be something to monitor. Doncic has averaged 29.0 points, 9.8 rebounds and 8.5 assists through the first four games of the series, but he's shooting only 38.6 percent from the field, including 27.1 percent from deep.

Doncic totaled 29 points (10-24 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 10 rebounds, 10 assists and one block across 45 minutes during Sunday's 116-111 loss to the Clippers in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

Doncic continues to do it all for the Mavericks in the series against the Clippers, doing so again Sunday while leading all players in rebounds and assists along with ending one point shy of the 30-point mark in a losing effort. Doncic has posted a triple-double in two straight games, scoring north of 20 points in all four postseason outings. Look for another big performance from Doncic in Game 5 as he attempts to lift Dallas to a lead in the series.

Doncic has been impressive for the Mavericks during the first-round matchup against the Clippers, averaging 29.0 points, 9.7 rebounds and 8.0 assists per game through the first three contests. Even though it's not surprising to see Doncic dealing with soreness given his workload throughout the season, the issue shouldn't keep him away from playing -- and handling his usage rage -- in Sunday's contest.

Doncic briefly left Friday's Game 3 versus the Clippers with 3:01 remaining in the first quarter with an apparent right knee issue, but returned with 12 seconds to play in the quarter, Justin Russo of the 'Clip & Roll' podcast reports.

Doncic had a significant limp when he checked out of the game and went to the back. He put a brace on his right knee when he came back to the bench, but quickly removed it before checking back into the game.

Doncic chipped in 32 points (11-26 FG, 5-14 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal over 46 minutes during Tuesday's 96-93 win over the Clippers in Game 2 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

Doncic carried Dallas to victory Tuesday despite struggling from the field. In a low-scoring affair, Doncic hit several crucial buckets down the stretch, much like he has done all season. They will now return home for what will be a pivotal Game 3. Look for Doncic to put on a show in front of his home fans.

Doncic had 33 points (11-26 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 13 rebounds, six assists and one steal in 42 minutes during Sunday's 109-97 loss to the Clippers in Game 1 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals.

Doncic didn't show any signs of rust in Sunday's Game 1 of the playoffs after sitting the final two games of the regular season, leading all players in scoring while leading the Mavericks in threes made, rebounds and assists in a double-double effort. Doncic posted at least 30 points and 13 rebounds in four games during the regular season, posting north of 25 points in 10 straight outings to round out the year.

Doncic (ankle) is not in the official injury report and will be available with no limitations for Game 1 of the series against the Clippers on Sunday.

Doncic didn't play in the Mavericks' final two games of the regular season since the coaching staff wanted to rest him before the start of the playoffs, but he shouldn't have any limitations for the series opener against the Clippers on Sunday. Expect Doncic to handle a massive usage rate and his regular workload in the backcourt alongside Kyrie Irving.

Doncic (ankle), who has already been ruled out for Friday's game against the Pistons, will miss Sunday's season finale against the Thunder, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.

The Mavs have elected to rest the star point guard for the next week or so before the playoffs begin. He averaged an eye-popping 33.9 points, 9.2 rebounds, 9.8 assists and 1.4 steals over 70 regular-season matchups.

Doncic (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Pistons, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

It was reported shortly before tipoff that Doncic was unlikely to take the floor Friday, and this update confirms that he'll sit. Kyrie Irving (hamstring) is also out, so it should be a busy night for Dante Exum, Tim Hardaway and Jaden Hardy in the backcourt.

Doncic (ankle) is expected to miss Friday's game versus the Pistons, NBA writer Marc Stein reports.

Doncic is officially listed as questionable but isn't expected to play Friday due to left ankle soreness. If the superstar guard is officially ruled out, Dante Exum, Jaden Hardy and Tim Hardaway are candidates to receive increased playing time.

Doncic is coming off another triple-double after posting 39 points (13-25 FG, 8-17 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 12 rebounds, 10 assists and one block across 35 minutes during Tuesday's 130-104 win over the Hornets. Frankly, him dealing with soreness in such a long season shouldn't be surprising, especially given his usage rate. Doncic is averaging 32.0 points, 10.8 rebounds and 10.0 assists per game since the beginning of April.

Doncic supplied 39 points (13-25 FG, 8-17 3Pt, 5-7 FT), 12 rebounds, 10 assists and one block across 35 minutes during Tuesday's 130-104 win over the Hornets.

This was the 21st triple-double of the season for Doncic. Despite playing through a couple minor issues in recent weeks, Dallas' franchise player has averaged 30.6 points, 10.2 rebounds, 9.9 assists, 1.3 steals and 4.6 three-pointers in his last 13 games.

Doncic (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Golden State, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

Doncic was downgraded from questionable to doubtful earlier Friday, and he'll officially be unable to suit up against the Warriors. However, coach Jason Kidd said before Friday's matchup that Doncic's injury shouldn't be a long-term concern, so it's possible he's able to return for Sunday's game against Houston.

Doncic (knee) has been downgraded to doubtful for Friday's game against the Warriors.

Doncic was questionable on the Mavericks' initial injury report due to his sore right knee, but he's trending in the wrong direction in the hours ahead of tipoff. Dante Exum is a strong candidate to start in Doncic's place, while Jaden Hardy and Tim Hardaway could also see increased roles.

Doncic is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Warriors due to right knee soreness.

Doncic continues to deal with right knee soreness but has suited up in each of Dallas' last nine contests. If the superstar guard is unable to play Friday, Dante Exum, Jaden Hardy and Tim Hardaway are candidates to receive increased playing time.

Doncic struggled to score from inside the arc, but he was lethal from deep as he accounted for six of the Mavs' 18 threes Thursday. He registered his 47th double-double of the season and was two assists shy from recording his 21st triple-double of the year. Over his last 10 games, Doncic has averaged 29.5 points, 10.0 rebounds, 9.3 assists and 1.6 steals over 37.0 minutes per game.

Doncic closed with 30 points (11-22 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds and 11 assists across 39 minutes during Tuesday's 104-100 loss to the Warriors.

The Mavericks suffered a tight loss to the Warriors on Tuesday, and while Doncic was uncharacteristically quiet in the fourth quarter, he still recorded a triple-double -- his 20th of the season. Doncic should play a pivotal role for the Mavericks as Dallas fights for its playoff seeding in the final weeks of the season. He's averaging 29.7 points, 10.0 rebounds and 9.9 assists per game over his last 10 appearances.

This was quite the performance from Doncic as he helped the Mavericks snap Houston's 11-game winning streak. Doncic had 22 points in the first quarter alone and ended up tying his career-high mark of nine three-pointers. With the win, Dallas moves into fifth place in the Western Conference, tied with the Pelicans with eight games to play.

Doncic (knee) is available for Sunday's game against the Bulls.

Doncic is dealing with right knee soreness, but he will be able to play through it Sunday. The 25-year-old pro is averaging 27.0 points, 11.0 assists 10.2 rebounds and 2.0 steals in 37.8 minutes per game over his last five contests.

Doncic "came to the arena earlier than usual to warm-up and test his sore knee," Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Doncic is battling right knee soreness, but he has suited up in the Mavericks past six contests, averaging 28.7 points, 10.2 rebounds, 9.7 assists and 2.0 steals in a whopping 38.2 minutes per game over that span. However, straying from his typical pre-game routine could indicate that his knee soreness poses a legitimate issue, so his status will need to be monitored.

Doncic is questionable for Sunday's game against Houston with right knee soreness.

This is a new issue for Doncic, as he previously battled soreness in his Achilles. It sounds like he's day-to-day given the questionable tag, and fantasy managers will likely get more clarity following Sunday's morning shootaround.

Doncic ended Friday's 107-103 win over Sacramento with 26 points (6-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 10-14 FT), nine rebounds, 12 assists and two steals over 41 minutes.

Doncic logged 41 minutes despite dealing with a lingering Achilles injury. The Mavericks are vying for a better playoff position as the regular season draws to a close, and Doncic will likely make every effort to stay on the floor, although there's a small possibility that he'll take a seat on one end of an upcoming back-to-back set next week.The All-Star has logged two triple-doubles and two-double-doubles since missing a game two weeks ago.

Doncic (Achilles) will play Friday against the Kings, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

Doncic has been a regular on Dallas' injury report with this issue, but he's managed to power through it. In fact, he's played in 23 of the past 24 games. There's no indication that he will have restrictions ahead of tipoff.

Doncic (Achilles) is questionable for Friday's game against the Kings but participated in the Mavericks' morning shootaround, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

Despite lingering Achilles soreness, Doncic has appeared in five straight and 23 of Dallas' last 24 games. The MVP candidate is trending in the right direction but will likely be a game-time decision Friday. Over his last five starts, Doncic has averaged 29.2 points, 10.4 rebounds, 9.2 assists and 2.0 steals in 37.6 minutes per game.

Doncic (Achilles) is questionable for Friday's game against the Kings.

Doncic continues to battle left Achilles soreness but has appeared in five straight and 23 of Dallas' last 24 games. Over his last five starts, Doncic has averaged 29.2 points, 10.4 rebounds, 9.2 assists and 2.0 steals in 37.6 minutes per game.

Doncic logged 28 points (10-18 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 11 rebounds, six assists and two steals in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 132-96 victory over the Kings.

Doncic did most of his damage before halftime and didn't need to do much more in the decisive win. The All-Star went to the bench and didn't play at all in the fourth quarter. The added rest should be an encouraging sign for more elite production when they face the Kings again on Friday. Although he began Tuesday on the injury report, he showed no ill effects from the Achilles injury.

Doncic (Achilles) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Kings.

Doncic has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday despite dealing with left Achilles soreness. Doncic is averaging 31.7 points, 10.5 assists, 9.8 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 38.0 minutes across his last 10 appearances.

Doncic is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Kings due to left Achilles soreness.

Doncic posted a triple-double Monday against the Jazz with 29 points, 13 assists, 12 rebounds, a steal and a block in 41 minutes, but he's dealing with an Achilles issue ahead of the second half of the back-to-back set. If he's unavailable against Sacramento, Dante Exum will likely see an uptick in playing time.

Doncic contributed 34 points (11-23 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 8-12 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists and four steals in 35 minutes during Thursday's 113-97 victory over the Jazz.

Doncic logged a triple-double but posted an ugly 6-for-27 shooting line Tuesday against San Antonio. Though he didn't hit double digits in rebounds or assists Thursday (partly due to playing only four minutes in the fourth quarter), he was much more efficient from the field and also tied a season high with four steals. Doncic will likely benefit from the breather he'll get with the Mavs not playing again until Monday versus Utah, though that's probably not ideal for fantasy managers who roster the superstar point guard and are currently in the playoffs.

Doncic racked up 18 points (6-27 FG, 2-11 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 10 rebounds, 16 assists and one steal in 40 minutes during Tuesday's 113-107 victory over San Antonio.

The superstar guard had been listed as questionable earlier in the day due to a hamstring issue, and while Doncic's shooting suggests he wasn't 100 percent healthy, he still delivered his 18th triple-double of the season -- a new career high. Eight of them have come in his last 10 games, a stretch in which Doncic is averaging 32.1 points, 11.1 assists, 10.0 boards, 3.7 threes and 1.1 steals.

Doncic (hamstring) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Spurs.

Doncic is questionable for Tuesday's game against San Antonio due to left hamstring soreness.

Doncic's left hamstring soreness has made him a staple on the injury report throughout the past week, although his workload was unfazed en route to 27 shots in his return from a one-game absence during Sunday's victory over Denver. Dallas is likely to exercise an abundance of caution with injury, but every game counts for the Mavericks, who currently sit at seventh in the Western Conference. Doncic's status will need to be monitored in advance of Tuesday's contest.

Doncic closed Sunday's 107-105 victory over the Nuggets with 37 points (12-27 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 8-10 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and two steals in 40 minutes.

Doncic returned from a one-game absence due to a minor hamstring problem, and the star playmaker was magnificent Sunday, making an impact on offense and reaching the 35-point plateau for the 29th time in the current campaign. A triple-double threat every time he steps on the court, Doncic should be in line for another profitable matchup when facing the Spurs on Tuesday. He's averaging 34.1 points, 9.8 rebounds and 9.9 assists per game since the beginning of March.

Doncic (hamstring) is good to go for Sunday's game against Denver, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

Doncic is cleared to play Sunday for a Mavericks squad lacking Josh Green (ankle), while Dante Exum (heel) is questionable. Doncic is averaging 35.3 minutes across his last four appearances and should reprise his standard workload.

Doncic (hamstring) is expected to return to action Sunday versus Denver, NBA writer Marc Stein reports.

Doncic is dealing with left hamstring soreness, but he's trending towards playing Sunday after a one-game absence. Doncic has cooked Denver this season, averaging 36.0 points, 10.5 rebounds and 8.0 assists on 24.0 shots per game across two previous meetings.

Doncic (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Nuggets, Eddie Sefko of the Mavericks' official site reports.

Doncic missed Dallas's previous contest with a hamstring injury but appears to have avoided a serious injury, as he was able to participate in Saturday's practice. With Dante Exum (foot) also questionable, Jaden Hardy and Tim Hardaway could receive increased playing time.

Doncic (hamstring) will be re-evaluated prior to Sunday's game against Denver, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

Doncic is being held out of Thursday's game against the Thunder and didn't travel with the team, but his MRI came back clean and the injury is considered minor given the quick re-evaluation date. Fantasy managers can expect a bit more clarity when the Mavericks return home to Dallas ahead of their weekend clash with Denver.

Doncic (hamstring) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Oklahoma City, NBA writer Marc Stein reports.

Doncic being ruled out for Thursday's contest less than 24 hours after tweaking his hamstring in Wednesday's win over Golden State is unsurprising, as the 25-year-old was clearly hobbled. He'll have until Sunday against Denver to recover. Tim Hardaway is averaging 25.4 points on 18.4 shots per game across seven contests that Doncic has missed this season, but he has struggled to find offensive rhythm of late.

Doncic has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against the Warriors due to left hamstring soreness. He'll finish with 21 points (7-18 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 6-8 FT), nine assists and three rebounds across 30 minutes.

Doncic was ruled out with just minutes to play in the game and with Dallas ahead by double-digits. In his absence, Dante Exum and Josh Green could pick up more run. Doncic will have a short turnaround, with the Mavericks next game coming Thursday at Oklahoma City.

Doncic racked up 27 points (9-23 FG, 6-15 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds, 14 assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Monday's 127-92 win over Chicago.

Doncic scoring efficiency took a hit Monday due to an uncharacteristic 3-for-8 shooting performance from inside the arc. His prodigious triple-double scoring run has come to an end, but he put on a facilitating masterclass while only committing two turnovers Monday. Next up is Golden State on Wednesday, who Doncic dropped 39 points (14-29 FG) and 10 assists on in a December matchup.

Doncic registered 39 points (13-24 FG, 4-13 3Pt, 9-10 FT), 10 rebounds, 10 assists, two blocks and three steals across 37 minutes during Saturday's 142-124 win over the Pistons.

Fantasy managers are used to Doncic putting up elite stat lines every time he steps onto the hardwood. However, what he accomplished Saturday was something that any player in NBA history hadn't done after tallying a sixth consecutive triple-double with 35 or more points. It's hard to find any new adjectives to describe the kind of season Doncic has had, particularly from a fantasy perspective. Still, there's a solid argument to say he's been the best player in the league across all formats, even ahead of Nikola Jokic and Domantas Sabonis. Doncic will try to continue writing history and extend their triple-double streak when the Mavericks take on the Bulls on Monday.

Doncic (elbow) is available for Saturday's game versus the Pistons.

Doncic has been upgraded from questionable to available Saturday despite dealing with a right elbow sprain. The superstar guard is on a tear recently, averaging 35.1 points, 11.3 assists, 9.9 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 37.6 minutes across his last 10 appearances.

Doncic (ankle) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Pistons due to a right elbow sprain.

Luka has been playing through an ankle injury and broken nose recently but appears to have picked up a right elbow sprain in Thursday's win over Miami. If Doncic is ruled out Saturday, Dante Exum and Tim Hardaway are candidates to receive increased playing time.

Doncic contributed 35 points (12-24 FG, 7-13 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 11 rebounds, 11 assists and one steal in 40 minutes during Thursday's 114-108 victory over the Heat.

The 25-year-old guard is on an unprecedented run, becoming the first player in NBA history to produce four straight 35-point triple-doubles. Doncic has also delivered five straight 30-point triple-doubles, a feat only Russell Westbrook has matched. His 15 triple-doubles on the season leaves him two shy of tying the career-high 17 he racked up in 2019-20, and he's also reached 30 points in eight straight contests, a stretch in which he's averaging 37.3 points, 11.3 assists, 9.9 boards, 4.4 threes and 1.4 steals while shooting 51.9 percent from the floor and 42.2 percent from beyond the arc.

Doncic (ankle) will be available for Thursday's game against the Heat, as expected.

Doncic donned his usual probable tag heading into Thursday's game, and now we have official confirmation that he'll be out there, so managers can feel confident plugging Doncic into their active lineups.

Doncic (ankle) is probable for Thursday's game against the Heat.

The Mavs will never miss an opportunity to list a player as probable, but the ankle issue has not at all impacted Doncic's play. Managers can expect to get official confirmation on his status closer to Thursday's tip.

Doncic (ankle) is active for Tuesday's game against Indiana.

Doncic has not missed a contest since Jan. 31 and is averaging 37.5 points, 10.8 rebounds and 12.8 assists in 38.5 minutes across his last four contests. He dropped 33 points, six rebounds and six assists with four made threes versus Indiana on Feb. 25 and will look to continue his MVP-caliber production Tuesday.

Doncic (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pacers, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

This is a new issue for Doncic, but it sounds like a minor day-to-day thing. He logged a whopping 40 minutes Sunday night versus the 76ers, finishing with 38 points (14-27 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 11 rebounds, 10 assists and one steal. If he's unable to suit up, Kyrie Irving will likely see more ball-handling opportunities, and the Mavericks will likely use a committee approach to soak up Doncic's available minutes.

Doncic provided 38 points (14-27 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 11 rebounds, 10 assists and one steal over 40 minutes during Sunday's 120-116 loss to Philadelphia. He also had seven turnovers.

Doncic logged his seventh triple-double of the season, although Dallas drops to a 2-5 record in those contests. Doncic has delivered MVP-caliber production as a one-man army at times, but that wasn't the case Sunday, as Kyrie Irving (28 points) and Derrick Jones (21 points) stepped up alongside him. Ultimately, Philadelphia committing just eight turnovers as a team marked the difference in Sunday's contest -- a difference for which Doncic is partially to blame, as he accounted for nearly half of the Mavericks' 17 giveaways.

Doncic registered 37 points (14-25 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 12 rebounds and 11 assists in 37 minutes during Friday's 138-110 loss to Boston.

Things have gotten to a point where seeing Doncic posting triple-doubles is almost customary, as the star floor general has now achieved this feat 12 times in the current campaign -- only Domantas Sabonis (21) and Nikola Jokic (19) have more. Doncic is averaging a robust 33.7 points, 10.3 assists and 9.8 rebounds per game since the beginning of February.

Doncic (ankle) will play Friday against the Celtics, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

Doncic initially received a questionable tag but was trending in the right direction after participating in Dallas' morning shootaround. He should be full go Friday and has averaged 34.2 points, 11.0 assists, 9.9 rebounds and 2.0 steals in 36.7 minutes per game over his last 10 appearances.

Doncic (ankle) participated in Friday's shootaround, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Doncic is officially listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the Celtics due to a left ankle sprain. However, Doncic's participation in shootaround is a good sign of his availability.

Doncic is questionable for Friday's game against the Celtics due to a left ankle sprain.

Doncic must have tweaked his ankle during Wednesday's game, but we'll have a better idea on his status based on his activity level at Friday's shootaround. If he is forced to the sidelines, that would open up minutes for Tim Hardaway Jr., Jaden Hardy and Dante Exum.

Doncic ended Wednesday's 136-125 win over the Raptors with 30 points (11-23 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 11 rebounds, 16 assists and two steals across 36 minutes.

Doncic was sensational Wednesday and carried Dallas to victory with his 11th triple-double of the season, as he couldn't have imagined a better birthday celebration. It's hard to find new adjectives to describe just how good Doncic has been this season, as he's making a solid case to gain MVP consideration, but he's elevated his play to a whole new level following the All-Star break. The star guard is averaging 37.3 points, 11.8 assists, 8.8 rebounds and 2.3 steals per game in four appearances since the resumption of the league.

Doncic (nose) will play Wednesday against the Raptors.

As expected, Doncic has been upgraded from probable to available and will play in an 11th straight game. Over his last 10 appearances, the MVP candidate has averaged 33.7 points, 9.7 assists, 9.5 rebounds and 1.8 steals in 37.2 minutes per game.

Doncic (nose) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Raptors.

Doncic continues to be listed as probable due to a broken nose, but he's appeared in 10 straight contests, averaging 33.7 points, 9.7 assists, 9.5 rebounds and 1.8 steals in 37.2 minutes per game during that stretch. He dropped 45 points, 14 assists, nine rebounds and three steals during Tuesday's matchup versus Cleveland, but the Mavericks fell short after Max Strus connected on a game-winning, half-court shot at the buzzer.

Doncic closed Tuesday's 121-119 loss to the Cavaliers with 45 points (17-29 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 5-5 FT), nine rebounds, 14 assists and three steals over 41 minutes.

Luka's final assist of the night appeared to have given the Mavericks the win, as he dished the ball to P.J. Washington for a layup with just 2.1 seconds left on the clock, but Max Strus made a miracle three-pointer from about 60 feet. Doncic very nearly recorded his 11th triple-double of the season while producing 40 or more points for the 12th time, and in 10 games since returning from a minor ankle sprain he's churned out 33.7 points, 9.7 assists, 9.5 boards, 4.2 threes and 1.8 steals while shooting 52.1 percent from the floor and 42.0 percent from beyond the arc.

Doncic recorded team highs in points, rebounds, assists and minutes during Tuesday's narrow loss to Cleveland. The superstar guard was one rebound shy of posting his 11th triple-double of 2023-24. Doncic is shooting a career-high 38.0 percent on 10.2 three-point attempts per contest this season.

Doncic (nose) will play Tuesday versus Cleveland.

Doncic will suit up for his 10th consecutive game Tuesday despite continuing to deal with lingering effects of a broken nose. He is averaging 37.0 points, 7.5 rebounds and 8.5 assists on 50.0 percent shooting in two contests since the All-Star break.

Doncic (nose) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers.

Doncic has been carrying probable tags for the last several games, but his nose hasn't seemed like much of an issue. In his most recent outing against the Pacers on Sunday, Doncic had 33 points (10-21 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 9-12 FT), six rebounds, six assists, two blocks and one steal in 33 minutes.

Doncic closed Sunday's 133-111 loss to Indiana with 33 points (10-21 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 9-12 FT), six rebounds, six assists, two blocks and one steal in 33 minutes.

Doncic delivered another impressive performance Sunday, but his efforts were not enough to lift Dallas to what would've been a significant victory on the road against one of the most explosive offenses in the league. Although the Mavs ended on the wrong side of the score, Doncic was massive once again, recording 30 or more points for the sixth time in nine appearances this month. Doncic is averaging 32.4 points, 9.6 rebounds and 9.2 assists per game in February.

Doncic (nose) is available for Sunday's game against the Pacers.

As expected, Doncic has been upgraded from probable to available and will play in a ninth straight game. Over his last eight appearances, the MVP candidate has averaged 32.4 points, 10.0 rebounds, 9.6 assists and 1.8 steals in 37.3 minutes per game.

Doncic (nose) is listed as probable for Sunday's game versus the Pacers.

Doncic continues to receive probable tags due to his broken nose but is expected to play through it yet again Sunday. Doncic hasn't had his playing time reduced, as he is averaging 35.4 minutes played across his last five outings.

Doncic had 41 points (14-27 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 7-7 FT), nine rebounds, 11 assists and three steals across 38 minutes during Thursday's 123-113 win over the Suns.

He fell just short of his 67th career triple-double, instead settling for his 31st double-double of the season and 11th game of 40-plus points. During the Mavs' current seven-game win streak, Doncic is averaging 31.3 points, 10.1 boards, 9.4 assists, 4.0 threes and 1.9 steals while shooting 51.7 percent from the floor and 40.6 percent from long distance.

Doncic (nose) is available for Thursday's game against the Suns, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.

Doncic has been upgraded from probable to available Thursday despite dealing with a broken nose. There is no indication that Doncic will be on a minutes restriction.

Doncic (nose) is probable for Thursday's game against the Suns.

Doncic has been unaffected by the broken nose, so it'll be interesting how much longer Dallas will choose to list him as "probable" for games. Managers can feel confident plugging in Doncic on Thursday night.

Doncic contributed 27 points (11-20 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists, one block and two steals in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 116-93 win over the Spurs.

Doncic failed to record back-to-back triple-doubles after falling short by just one rebound and two assists, though he would have probably clinched that had he logged more than 31 minutes in what turned out to be a blowout win for Dallas. Doncic has been on a tear of late and enters the All-Star break averaging 31.1 points, 10.1 rebounds and 9.4 assists per game in February.

Doncic (nose) is available for Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

As expected, Doncic and Kyrie Irving (thumb) have both been upgraded from probable to available and will play in Dallas' final game before the All-Star break. Doncic has appeared in 12 of Dallas' last 13 games, averaging 36.4 points, 10.8 rebounds, 10.8 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.8 blocks in 39.8 minutes during that stretch.

Doncic is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against San Antonio as he continues dealing with a broken nose.

Doncic has not ceased logging mammoth workloads when able to suit up, averaging 31.8 points, 10.3 rebounds and 9.7 assists in 38.2 minutes across six consecutive starts for the Mavericks. He appears firmly on track to play Wednesday, despite being banged up with back soreness and getting stitches on his chin during Monday's victory as injury additions to his broken nose.

Doncic recorded 26 points (8-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 8-11 FT), 11 rebounds, 15 assists, two blocks and one steal in 37 minutes during Monday's 112-104 victory over Washington.

Doncic had to leave Monday's game briefly after receiving stitches for a cut on his chin during the second half, but that was a minor injury that didn't affect his overall stat line. The star guard posted his ninth triple-double of the campaign, and he continues to make a significant impact on both ends of the court while operating as the engine that makes Dallas run on a game-to-game basis. Doncic is averaging 31.8 points, 10.3 rebounds and 9.7 assists per game since the beginning of February.

Doncic (face) has returned to the fourth quarter of Monday's contest against Washington.

Doncic received stitches for a cut on his chin, but he has returned to action Monday. He's unlikely to face a restricted workload.

Doncic went to the locker room to receive treatment after suffering a facial abrasion following being elbowed in the chin, Eddie Sefko of the Mavericks' official site reports.

In rapid succession, Doncic briefly exited the court to tend to back soreness, then returned and was promptly elbowed in the face. Both injuries appear to be minor, but his status for the fourth quarter is uncertain.

Doncic (nose) is available for Monday's game against the Wizards, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Doncic was probable for Monday's matchup and will be able to play through his fractured nose once again. Over his last five appearances, he's averaged 33.0 points, 10.2 rebounds, 8.6 assists and 1.6 steals in 38.4 minutes per game.

Doncic (nose) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Wizards, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

Doncic first showed up on the Mavericks' injury report Feb. 6 with a nasal contusion, but the team has since reclassified his injury as a fractured nose. Regardless, the issue hasn't forced Doncic to miss any games, and he looks likely to play through the health concern once again Monday. In the three games since suffering the nasal injury, Doncic is averaging 35.3 points, 11.3 rebounds, 9.7 assists, 5.0 three-pointers and 2.0 steals in 38.0 minutes per contest.

Doncic (nose) is good to go for Saturday's matchup with the Thunder, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

No surprise here, as Doncic originally drew a probable designation for the contest. He suffered a broken nose recently but has not shown any signs of slowing down. The MVP candidate has averaged 33.3 points, 10.8 rebounds, 8.5 assists and 2.0 steals across 40.3 minutes in his previous four games.

Doncic (nose) is probable for Saturday's game against Oklahoma City.

Doncic has been dealing with a broken nose recently but hasn't appeared to be limited by the issue. Over his last four appearances, he's averaged 33.3 points, 10.8 rebounds, 8.5 assists and 2.0 steals in 40.3 minutes per game.

Doncic tallied 39 points (13-24 FG, 7-14 3Pt, 6-7 FT), eight rebounds, 11 assists, one block and four steals across 40 minutes in Thursday's 122-108 win over the Knicks.

Doncic continues to produce at a high level, despite playing through a nasal contusion in Thursday's win. He came close to notching his 10th triple-double on the season, though he did manage to register his 29th double-double. Doncic entered Thusday's game leading the league with 34.5 points per game and third in the NBA with 9.4 assists per contest.

Doncic (nose) will be available for Thursday's game against the Knicks.

Doncic continues to play through the broken nose without issue, so managers can feel confident firing him up for Thursday's game in New York.

Doncic (nose) is probable for Thursday's game against the Knicks.

Doncic played through the nose issue Tuesday and he looked fine over his 43 minutes of floor time, so he should again be ready for all the run he can handle Thursday evening. Check back for official word on his status closer to Thursday's tip.

Doncic amassed 35 points (13-27 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 5-10 FT), 18 rebounds, nine assists, one block and two steals over 43 minutes during Tuesday's 119-107 win over the Nets.

Doncic led all players in Tuesday's contest in rebounds and assists while ending as one of two Mavericks with 35 or more points and finishing one assist shy of a triple-double. Doncic has recorded at least 35 points in three of his last four outings while tallying at least 15 rebounds and eight assists in three contests this year.

Doncic (nose) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Nets.

Doncic has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday despite dealing with a nasal contusion. While the superstar guard is expected to wear a mask, there is no indication he will be on a minutes restriction.

Doncic (nose) is a game-time decision for Tuesday's game against Brooklyn, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Doncic is dealing with a nasal contusion. If he's able to take the court, he will wear a mask in Tuesday's game, so his status could come down to his comfort level in pregame warm-ups.

Doncic is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Nets due to a nasal contusion.

Doncic shook off a sore right ankle and played in Monday's win over the 76ers, posting 19 points, eight rebounds, three assists and one steal in 36 minutes. However, he's now dealing with a nose injury and may be sidelined for the second half of Dallas' back-to-back set. If that's the case, Jaden Hardy and Tim Hardaway would likely be the primary beneficiaries.

Doncic (ankle) will be available for Monday's game against the 76ers.

The Mavericks will be watching Doncic's ankle closely over the coming days, and it's worth noting that Monday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set. That means there is no guarantee that Doncic will play Tuesday against the Nets, as this situation is fluid. In addition to Doncic, the Mavericks will also have Kyrie Irving (thumb) back Monday.

Doncic is questionable to play Monday versus Philadelphia due to right ankle soreness.

Doncic's injury designation is more along the lines of maintenance than a new injury, but his status will need to be monitored in the context of the humongous workloads he has endured of late. Kyrie Irving (thumb) is listed as probable for Monday's game, creating the opportunity for the Mavericks' dynamic backcourt duo to suit up together.

Doncic recorded 40 points (13-26 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 10-11 FT), nine rebounds, 11 assists and one steal across 42 minutes during Saturday's 129-117 loss to the Bucks. He also had nine turnovers.

Doncic posted his 10th game of the season with at least 40 points, fueled by his 20th game of the season with double-digit free-throw attempts. That being said, Milwaukee slowed him down in the second half, limiting Doncic to 14 points while capitalizing on 21 total turnovers from the Mavericks. Fatigue hasn't been a serious factor yet, and Doncic's off-the-charts workload is an offensive marvel.

Doncic (ankle) isn't on the injury report for Saturday's game against the Bucks, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Doncic missed Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves due to a right ankle sprain, but he'll be back in action Saturday following a minimal absence. Over his last six appearances, he's averaged 41.0 points, 11.8 assists and 11.3 rebounds in 41.5 minutes per game, and it seems unlikely that he'll face significant limitations Saturday.

Doncic has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Minnesota due to a right ankle sprain, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.

Doncic continues to be bothered by an ankle issue and will miss his first game since Jan. 15. His next chance to suit up will come Saturday versus Milwaukee. Kyrie Irving (thumb) is out and Dante Exum (knee) is doubtful, so Jaden Hardy, Tim Hardaway, Josh Green and Seth Curry are all candidates for elevated usage.

Doncic closed Monday's 131-129 victory over Orlando with 45 points (12-23 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 18-21 FT), nine rebounds, 15 assists and two steals in 43 minutes.

Doncic was massive once again Monday, finishing just one rebound away from a triple-double and hitting the 30-point mark for the eighth time across his last nine appearances. The star guard, an absolute stud in fantasy and a serious contender for the MVP award based on his numbers, is averaging a robust 37.1 points, 10.4 assists, 9.2 rebounds and 1.6 steals per game across his 10 outings in January.

Doncic supplied 28 points (9-26 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 9-12 FT), 10 rebounds, 17 assists, one block and two steals over 46 minutes during Saturday's 120-115 loss to the Kings.

After putting forth arguably the greatest scoring performance of the modern era Friday, Doncic followed up with his third game of the season with at least 17 assists, exemplifying a Mavericks' offense that generated 35 assists on 43 made buckets. His three-point shooting was cold, but Doncic justifiably might not have been at his freshest. Another contest awaits Monday versus Orlando.

Doncic (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Kings, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

Doncic found himself on the injury report due to a right ankle injury that caused him to miss four games earlier in the month, but he will be able to play Saturday. The superstar guard is coming off the fourth-highest scoring performance in NBA history and is averaging 43.3 points, 12.3 rebounds, 9.8 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.0 blocks in 40.0 minutes per game over his last four appearances.

Doncic is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Kings due to right ankle soreness.

Doncic is in danger of missing Saturday's contest due to a right ankle injury that caused him to sit out four games already in January. If Doncic is ruled out, Jaden Hardy, Tim Hardaway and Dante Exum are candidates to receive increased playing time.

Doncic ended Friday's 148-143 win over the Hawks with 73 points (25-33 FG, 8-13 3Pt, 15-16 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 45 minutes.

The 73 points in a single game were not only a new franchise record, it was tied for the fourth-best scoring performance in NBA history -- only Wilt Chamberlain and Kobe Bryant have ever scored more points in one game than Doncic did Friday. Ankle trouble has cost the 24-year-old superstar four games in January, but he's scored more than 30 in seven straight contests when he's been on the court, averaging 39.9 points, 9.6 boards, 8.3 assists, 3.9 threes and 1.6 steals while shooting 52.5 percent from the floor during that time.

Doncic provided 34 points (11-24 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 8-12 FT), eight rebounds, nine assists, two blocks and one steal over 39 minutes during Wednesday's 132-109 loss to the Suns.

Even in a lopsided defeat, Doncic managed to put up his usual hearty stat line, finishing two boards and one dime shy of a third consecutive triple-double. The superstar point guard tallied twice as many points as Dallas' next-highest scorer (Tim Hardaway Jr.) in a game the Mavericks played without second star Kyrie Irving (thumb). Doncic has been outstanding whether he's paired with oft-injured Irving in the backcourt or left to take on the offensive burden on his own -- on the season, Doncic ranks second in the NBA with 33.6 points per game, third with 9.3 assists per contest and second with 143 total three-pointers while adding 8.5 boards and 1.4 steals per game.

Doncic (back) is available for Wednesday's game against the Suns, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

Doncic posted back-to-back 30-point triple-doubles following a three-game absence due to an ankle injury, but he returned to the injury report Tuesday due to lower-back tightness. However, the MVP candidate will continue to play through the pain and should handle his usual workload versus Phoenix.

Doncic is questionable for Wednesday's game against Phoenix due to lower back tightness, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

Doncic logged a monster workload Monday, posting 33 points, 18 rebounds and 13 assists in 40 minutes versus Boston, and he appears to have emerged from the contest with some back tightness. He is joined by Kyrie Irving (thumb) and Dante Exum (heel) as questionable for Wednesday's contest.

Doncic closed Monday's 119-110 loss to Boston with 33 points (12-30 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 7-11 FT), 18 rebounds, 13 assists and two steals across 40 minutes.

Doncic did everything he could to get the Mavericks over the line, recording his ninth triple-double of the season. His 18 rebounds marked a season-high, although his shooting percentages left a little to be desired. Over the past two weeks, his free throw shooting is down to just 71.4 percent in 11.7 attempts per game. Outside of this minor blip, managers have to be thrilled with what Doncic is doing on the court this season.

Doncic and the Mavericks won't play Friday against the Warriors since the game was postponed following the passing of Golden State assistant coach Dejan Milojevic.

Milojevic passed away suddenly early Wednesday morning, and Friday's matchup will be pushed back as a result. It's not yet clear when the game will be made up, but the Mavericks' next scheduled game is now Monday against Boston.

Doncic contributed 33 points (12-24 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 13 rebounds, 10 assists, two blocks and two steals in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 127-110 loss to the Lakers.

Doncic missed the Mavericks' previous three games due to an ankle injury, but the issue didn't inhibit his production in his return. The star point guard logged a team-high 36 minutes and finished with team-leading marks in points, rebounds and assists en route to his seventh triple-double of the campaign. Doncic has been a top-10 fantasy asset on a per-game basis this year, averaging 33.6 points, 9.2 dimes, 8.3 boards, 3.9 triples and 1.4 steals over 35 contests.

Doncic (ankle) will play in Wednesday's game versus the Lakers, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Doncic will return to action Wednesday after missing Dallas' previous three games with a right ankle sprain. The superstar guard will likely replace Tim Hardaway in the starting lineup. Doncic is averaging 32.8 points, 8.6 assists, 6.4 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 35.6 minutes across his last five appearances.

Doncic (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Lakers, NBA writer Marc Stein reports.

Doncic has missed Dallas' last three contests due to a right ankle sprain but could return to action Wednesday. If the superstar guard is unable to suit up, Tim Hardaway will likely remain in the starting lineup.

Doncic (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Pelicans, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

As expected, Doncic has been downgraded from doubtful to out and will miss a third consecutive contest. Tim Hardaway should remain in the starting lineup, but Kyrie Irving figures to lead Dallas' offense. Doncic's next chance to suit up will come Wednesday versus the Lakers.

Doncic is listed as out for Thursday's game versus the Knicks due to a right ankle sprain.

Doncic was clearly dealing with ankle pain in Tuesday's loss to Memphis, as he left the game on two separate occasions before ultimately playing through his injury. With Dallas' superstar guard out, Jaden Hardy and Tim Hardaway will likely receive increased minutes. Doncic's next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with the Pelicans.

Doncic finished with 31 points (9-21 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 11-15 FT), six rebounds, six assists and three steals in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 120-103 loss to Memphis.

Doncic had a complicated outing Tuesday and was forced to leave the game at one point due to an ankle problem, and while his final stat line was decent, it was clear he wasn't comfortable and wasn't at 100 percent as the game progressed. The fact that he still posted a 31/6/6 stat line while being slightly injured speaks volumes of his ability, and Doncic will hope to recover in time to be fully healthy against a red-hot Knicks team on Thursday.

Doncic left Tuesday's game versus the Grizzlies and headed to the locker room before quickly returning to the game due to an ankle issue, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

Doncic has now left Tuesday's contest twice before returning to the game shortly thereafter. It appears that the ankle injury that kept the superstar guard on the injury report is continuing to bother him.

Doncic (ankle) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Grizzlies.

Doncic (ankle) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Grizzlies.

Doncic played through the ankle issue Sunday, posting 34 points (12-26 FG), eight assists, six rebounds and one steal in 39 minutes. He will likely suit up again Tuesday and shouldn't face any limitations.

Doncic had another elite showing Sunday, and his efforts were instrumental in lifting the Mavericks to a win here, though he also recognized the flow of the game and allowed Kyrie Irving to takeover in the fourth quarter when the latter had a hot hand. Doncic is enjoying an outstanding start to the new year, averaging 31.3 points, 9.0 assists and 6.0 rebounds per game in three January showings.

Doncic (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

Doncic missed Friday's game against the Trail Blazers due to a right ankle injury and was questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup. However, he's been cleared to return following a one-game absence.

Doncic (ankle) won't play in Friday's game versus Portland, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

Doncic is questionable for Friday's game against the Trail Blazers due to right ankle swelling, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

Doncic wasn't listed on the initial injury report, but his availability is now in question. The MVP candidate needed only three quarters to torch Portland on Wednesday, posting 41 points (13-21 FG), six rebounds, five assists and one steal in 31 minutes, but there was no injury reported. If he's sidelined for Friday's rematch, Tim Hardaway, Jaden Hardy, Seth Curry and Josh Green are candidates for increased roles, but the offense would presumably run through Kyrie Irving.

Doncic supplied 41 points (13-21 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 11-14 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 126-97 victory over Portland.

Doncic needed only three quarters to rack up another dominant performance, lifting the Mavericks to a comfortable victory. The Trail Blazers simply had no answers for Doncic, allowing him to get to his spots with ease. The two teams will face each other again Friday. Managers will be hoping for a repeat performance, continuing his dominant season.

Doncic took part in the team's morning shootaround and has since been cleared to run the floor Monday evening despite dealing with a quad injury. He's averaging 39.0 points, 8.4 rebounds, 10.2 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.4 blocks over his last five games.

Doncic (quadriceps) participated in Monday's morning shootaround, Eddie Sefko of the Mavericks' official sitereports.

Doncic is still listed as questionable for Monday's game versus the Jazz, but he appears to be trending in the right direction. In addition to Doncic, Kyrie Irving (heel), Dante Exum (heel) and Seth Curry (illness) participated as well, so the Mavericks could be close to full strength against the Jazz.

Doncic is questionable for Monday's game against Utah with left quadriceps soreness.

Doncic has missed two games in December with this injury that seems to be lingering. However, he certainly didn't seem limited in a return from a one-game absence on Saturday versus the Warriors, as he poured in 39 points with 10 assists, eight rebounds, one steal, one block and five three-pointers. In addition to Doncic, Kyrie Irving (heel) and Dante Exum (heel) are also questionable.

Doncic amassed 39 points (14-29 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 6-7 FT), eight rebounds, 10 assists, one block and one steal over 38 minutes during Saturday's 132-122 victory over Golden State.

Doncic was just what the doctor ordered for the Mavericks who welcomed the All-Star's return after dropping a gam to the Timberwolves without his contribution Doncic played 38 minutes and seemed unfazed by his recent quad injury, although additional monitoring of his status is warranted with just one day of rest before facing the Jazz on New Year's Day.

Doncic (quadriceps) will play against the Warriors on Saturday.

Doncic was carrying a questionable tag into Saturday after missing Thursday's game versus Minnesota, but he took the floor for warmups at his usual time and was moving around well. There are no reported restrictions for Doncic ahead of tipoff.

Doncic (quadriceps) is expected to play Saturday against Golden State, NBA writer Marc Stein reports.

Doncic remains listed as questionable on the team's injury report, but he's reportedly trending in the right direction and should get the green light to run the floor Saturday evening, barring any last-minute setbacks. Expect confirmation on his availability to arrive closer to tipoff.

Doncic (quadriceps) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Warriors.

Doncic was sidelined for Thursday's loss to Minnesota, marking his second absence in less than a week. He was initially listed as doubtful for that contest and is questionable for Saturday, which is at least a slight sign of progress. If Doncic and Irving (heel) are both out again, Dante Exum, Jaden Hardy, Tim Hardaway and Seth Curry would all be candidates for increased usage.

Doncic (quadriceps) won't play in Thursday's game versus the Timberwolves.

Doncic will miss Thursday's contest, as expected, due to left quadricep soreness. With Kyrie Irving (heel) still out, Dante Exum, Jaden Hardy, Tim Hardaway and Seth Curry are all candidates to receive increased playing time. Doncic's next chance to suit up is Saturday's matchup with Golden State.

Doncic (quad) is expected to miss Thursday's game against the Timberwolves, NBA writer Marc Stein reports.

Doncic has appeared in the Mavericks' last three matchups, averaging 42.7 points, 10.3 assists, 8.3 rebounds, 2.3 steals and 2.0 blocks in 37.7 minutes per game. However, Dallas faltered late in Wednesday's matchup against Cleveland, and Doncic will likely get the night off in the second half of the back-to-back set as he manages a lingering quad issue. Assuming he's sidelined, Dante Exum, Jaden Hardy, Tim Hardaway and Seth Curry are candidates to see increased roles.

Doncic accumulated 39 points (14-29 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 8-10 FT), seven rebounds, six assists, two blocks and two steals over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 113-110 loss to the Cavaliers.

Doncic's final stat line was once again mouthwatering, though he appeared to be in line for an even bigger performance after tallying 29 points in the first half. The superstar point guard went just 2-for-7 in the fourth quarter and posted a modest 10 points after halftime, but for fantasy purposes his overall numbers were exceptional. Doncic has now scored 30-plus points in 14 of his past 15 games, averaging a ridiculous 36.7 points, 10.3 assists, 8.9 rebounds, 3.9 triples, 1.6 steals and 0.9 blocks over that span. On the season, he ranks second in the NBA with 33.7 points and third with 9.2 dimes per contest.

Doncic (quad) will play Wednesday versus the Cavaliers, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

Wednesday's matchup is the front half of a back-to-back set, which put Doncic's status in question as he continues to deal with lingering quad soreness. However, he's missed just one of the team's last 12 games and will suit up again Wednesday. He has averaged 37.3 points, 11.6 assists, 9.3 rebounds and 1.5 steals over his last 11 appearances and is coming off a 50-point, 15-assist performance against the Suns on Christmas Day.

Doncic is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers due to left quad soreness.

Doncic missed a game on Dec. 22 with this same injury, and it's worth noting that Wednesday's game against the Cavaliers is the front end of a back-to-back set. It's possible that the Mavericks could look to sit Doncic for one game of the back-to-back set, but that information likely won't be known until Wednesday evening. If Doncic sits, Dante Exum, Tim Hardaway, Seth Curry and Jaden Hardy will have more opportunity with Kyrie Irving (heel) still sidelined.

Doncic finished with 50 points (15-25 FG, 8-16 3Pt, 12-12 FT), six rebounds, 15 assists, three blocks and four steals across 44 minutes during Monday's 128-114 win over the Suns.

Doncic delivered one of the best individual performances in Christmas in the league's history, carrying the Mavericks to a comeback win, filling out the stat sheet admirably, and even scoring more points than Devin Booker and Kevin Durant combined. There are no adjectives left to say how good Doncic has been this season, as he has been carrying Dallas amid a rough stretch injury-wise, and he's putting up excellent numbers despite having to do most of the heavy lifting on his own. Doncic is averaging 37.3 points, 11.6 assists, 9.3 rebounds and a combined 2.3 steals and blocks across 11 appearances in December.

Doncic accumulated 39 points (13-27 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 8-11 FT), 12 rebounds, 10 assists, one block and one steal over 32 minutes during Saturday's 144-119 win over the Spurs.

Doncic delivered one of his best performances of the season just before Christmas, as the star guard was impressive on both ends of the court and needed just 32 minutes to register a 39-point triple-double. This was his seventh triple-double of the campaign and his 20th game with at least 30 points. Doncic remains one of the best fantasy performers in the league regardless of the format and is having another year worthy of an MVP candidacy. He's averaging 32.9 points, 8.6 rebounds and 9.1 assists per game this season.

Doncic (quadriceps) is no longer listed on the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against the Spurs.

Doncic missed Friday's game due to a quadriceps injury but will be available on Saturday against the Spurs. The star point guard has been exceptional as of late, averaging 35.7 points, 11.4 assists, 9.3 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 40.2 minutes per game over his last nine appearances.

Doncic is on course to play Saturday against the Spurs, NBA writer Marc Stein reports.

Doncic missed Friday's game due to a quadriceps injury, but he will likely be able to return after missing just one game. The sixth-year star has averaged 35.6 points, 11.6 assists, 9.0 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 39.8 minutes per game over his last five appearances.

Doncic is out for Friday's game versus the Rockets due to a quadriceps injury, NBA writer Marc Stein reports.

Doncic will miss just his second game of the season Friday due to a quadriceps injury. With Kyrie Irving (heel) also out, Jaden Hardy, Dante Exum, Seth Curry and Tim Hardaway will all be candidates to receive extended minutes in Dallas' backcourt. Doncic's next chance to suit up will be Saturday's matchup with the Spurs.

Doncic (illness) will play Monday night against the Nuggets, Vinny Benedetto of The Denver Gazette reports.

Doncic was listed on the injury report as probable despite not feeling healthy enough to take part in morning shootaround, and he's since been cleared to take the court Monday evening. The star point guard has been on an absolute tear of late, averaging 35.8 points, 7.6 rebounds, 11.2 assists and 1.4 steals in his last five matchups.

Doncic (illness) is probable for Monday's game against the Nuggets.

Doncic didn't feel well enough to participate in Monday's shootaround but is expected to suit up against Denver, so his probable designation isn't particularly surprising. He's scored at least 30 points in 10 consecutive appearances, averaging 35.6 points, 10.6 assists and 8.7 rebounds in 39.7 minutes per game.

Doncic did not attend Monday's morning shootaround due to an illness, but he's expected to play against the Nuggets, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Despite not being 100 percent, Doncic wasn't listed on Dallas' most recent injury report, and it sounds like he will power through the illness as best he can. Doncic has been on a tear in December, averaging 36.4 points, 12.1 assists, 9.0 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 4.0 three-pointers in his last seven games.

Doncic posted 40 points (15-28 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 12 rebounds, 10 assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Saturday's 131-120 victory over the Trail Blazers.

Doncic led all players in Saturday's contest in scoring, rebounds and assists while leading the Mavericks in threes made in a dominant showing in a winning effort. Doncic posted his fifth triple-double of the year, including his third over the last seven contests. He has surpassed the 40-point mark on five occasions this year as he builds onto his MVP-caliber campaign.

Doncic finished with 39 points (15-27 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 7-7 FT), six rebounds, 13 assists and two steals in 39 minutes during Thursday's 119-101 loss to Minnesota.

Doncic was playing without Kyrie Irving (heel) once again, and as has been the trend in recent weeks, his usage rate was through the roof, and so were his offensive numbers. He reached the 30-point mark for the ninth consecutive game, a span in which he's also posted four double-doubles and two triple-doubles. Doncic will continue to monopolize Dallas' offense regardless of whether Irving returns to face Portland on Saturday, and his numbers back that up since he's averaging 35.8 points, 12.5 assists and 8.5 rebounds per game since the start of December.

Doncic closed with 33 points (12-28 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, 17 assists and one steal in 43 minutes during Tuesday's 127-125 win over the Lakers.

Doncic led all players in Tuesday's game in scoring and assists while finishing with his second game of the year with at least 30 points and 17 assists. Doncic has handed out at least 10 assists on eight occasions this year while surpassing the 30-point mark in 16 contests. Doncic has posted at least 30 points and 10 assists in four of his last five games.

Doncic (back) will play Tuesday against the Lakers, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

Kyrie Irving (heel) will miss a second straight game Tuesday, so Doncic should draw plenty of attention from a tough defense. The MVP is averaging 32.0 points, 8.5 assists, 8.3 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 36.3 minutes per game and has yet to miss a game due to injury.

Dallas is optimistic that Doncic (back) will play Tuesday against the Lakers, NBA writer Marc Stein reports.

Kyrie Irving (heel) is slated to miss a second straight game Tuesday, but Doncic is trending toward playing. The MVP candidate hasn't missed a game due to injury yet this season, averaging 32.0 points, 8.5 assists, 8.3 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 36.3 minutes per night.

Doncic is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Lakers due to a lower back contusion.

Doncic has missed only one game this season, and that was for personal reasons. He's been very healthy for the most part, and it sounds like this is a relatively minor issue he's dealing with. With Kyrie Irving (foot) sidelined, we could see a lot of Dante Exum, Seth Curry and maybe Jaden Hardy against the Lakers.

Doncic finished with 35 points (9-21 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 12-13 FT), eight rebounds, six assists, two blocks and two steals across 44 minutes during Monday's 120-113 win over the Grizzlies.

Doncic's contributions as a scorer, rebounder and distributor are par for the course at this point, as he's scored at least 30 points in seven straight games and has averaged 9.4 dimes and 9.0 boards over that span. His stats on defense Monday were a bit out of the ordinary, however, as he notched multiple blocks and steals in the same contest for just the third time this season. All three of those performances have come over his past six games, and if he's able to routinely contribute in those areas while maintaining his status as a nightly triple-double threat, he'll ascend even higher into the stratosphere of the game's most dominant players.

Doncic posted 32 points (11-28 FG, 3-14 3Pt, 7-8 FT), six rebounds, 10 assists, one block and one steal across 41 minutes during Friday's 125-112 win over the Trail Blazers.

It isn't often that one can call a 32/6/10 line a regression, but Doncic's night was a downswing after posting two consecutive triple-doubles. Since his one-game absence at the beginning of the month, Doncic is averaging 36.0 points, 13.0 assists, 10.3 rebounds and 1.3 steals over three games.

Doncic provided 40 points (14-25 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 10 rebounds, 11 assists and one steal across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 147-97 win over the Jazz.

Doncic dropped his second straight triple-double and his fifth game in a row with at least 30 points in Wednesday's blowout win. The superstar guard has been on another level recently, averaging 39.0 points, 12.7 assists, 11.3 rebounds and 1.7 steals in 38.7 minutes across his last three appearances. Doncic is also shooting 52.6 percent from the field and 40.0 percent on 11.7 three-point attempts per contest over that span.

Doncic registered 36 points (11-22 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 9-14 FT), 15 rebounds, 18 assists, two blocks and two steals in 46 minutes during Saturday's 126-120 loss to the Thunder.

Doncic returned after missing the previous game due to personal reasons, finishing the los with an impressive triple-double showing in one of his best performances of his career. Doncic became the first player in NBA history with at least 35 points, 15 rebounds, 15 assists, two steals, two blocks and five threes in a game. Doncic, who set season-high marks in rebounds and assists, has tallied a triple-double on three occasions this season. He has also scored 35 or more points in six outings, including in two straight games.

Doncic (personal) isn't on the injury report for Saturday's game versus the Thunder.

Doncic will return to action Saturday after missing Friday's matchup due to personal reasons. If Kyrie Irving (foot) is ruled out, Doncic could handle an even larger offensive load than normal.

Doncic has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Grizzlies due to personal reasons, NBA writer Marc Stein reports.

Doncic will be sidelined for the first time this season, and it's not yet clear whether he'll return to action Saturday against Oklahoma City. Dante Exum, Kyrie Irving, Jaden Hardy and Seth Curry are candidates to pick up the slack in Doncic's absence.

Doncic had 41 points (15-29 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 8-9 FT), nine rebounds, nine assists and two steals in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 121-115 win over Houston.

Doncic was one game removed from undergoing X-rays on his left hand, so it's impressive what he was able to accomplish Tuesday at less than 100 percent. Doncic has now scored at least 40 points three times this season, and he has reached nine assists in eight total games.

Coach Jason Kidd said Monday that Doncic (hand) will be available for Tuesday's matchup versus Houston, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Kidd relayed that an MRI revealed Doncic suffered a left thumb sprain, but it shouldn't sideline him for any games. The MVP candidate finished Saturday's loss to the Clippers with 30 points, but he said after the game that he had an X-ray done at halftime. Doncic isn't new to playing through injuries, as he battled a calf issue earlier in the campaign, so his production shouldn't be too negatively impacted by the thumb issue.

Doncic said after Saturday's 107-88 win over the Clippers that he received an X-ray on his left hand at halftime, and though he was able to return to the game, he'll undergo further examination in Dallas, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

A source told Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com that Doncic's hand is "good" after it banged into the knee of the Clippers' James Harden in the opening minute of Saturday's game. For his part, Doncic said he doesn't think he's suffered a fracture, but he was wearing a wrap on the hand after the game and will get a more thorough examination once the Mavericks return to Dallas. While playing through the thumb issue, Doncic finished with 30 points (12-27 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four assists, three rebounds, two steals and two blocks across 38 minutes. The Mavericks return to action Tuesday versus the Rockets.

Doncic totaled 30 points (10-26 FG, 3-12 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 12 rebounds, eight assists and two steals in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 104-101 win over the Lakers.

Doncic shot poorly from three-point range, but that was about his only flaw in an otherwise excellent performance. The star point guard didn't commit any turnovers in the contest -- just the second time this season he has finished with a zero in that category -- and notched double-digit rebounds for the seventh time on the campaign. Doncic has actually been slightly more productive on the boards than as a distributor this season, though his season per-game averages of 30.5 points, 8.3 rebounds and 8.1 assists leave little to be desired. Doncic is also averaging 4.0 triples per contest, second-most in the league.

Doncic finished Sunday's 129-113 loss to the Kings with 25 points (7-19 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 10 rebounds, seven assists and three steals across 32 minutes.

Doncic finished just three assists away from recording a triple-double, a feat he hasn't accomplished since Oct. 30, but that shouldn't take away the fact that he's been elite across all formats. Aside from being ever-present for the Mavericks in terms of availability, he's averaging a robust 28.3 points, 7.6 assists, 7.0 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game in November. His numbers were expected to have a slight regression if Kyrie Irving managed to stay healthy throughout the season, but Doncic remains one of the most productive players in The Association through the first four weeks of the campaign.

Doncic (knee) will play Sunday against the Kings, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

Doncic totaled 35 points (15-26 FG), nine rebounds and nine assists in 35 minutes during Saturday's loss to Milwaukee and was initially listed as questionable for the second half of Dallas' back-to-back set due to right knee soreness. The Mavericks may be cautious with the MVP candidate, but it appears fantasy managers can expect a full workload from Doncic against Sacramento.

Doncic (knee) is questionable to play against Sacramento on Sunday.

Doncic is dealing with right knee soreness. He boomed for 35 points in 35 minutes during Saturday's lost to Milwaukee, but Dallas being in a back-to-back set adds risk to Doncic's availability.

Doncic closed with 35 points (15-26 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 1-4 FT), nine rebounds and nine assists in 35 minutes during Saturday's loss to the Bucks.

Doncic continues to put up gaudy numbers, falling just one rebound and one assist short of a triple-double. While he came up empty on the defensive end and struggled from the free throw line, managers have to be thrilled with the numbers. The Mavericks will play again in less than 24 hours when they host the Kings in Dallas. Doncic is continuing to deal with some minor ailments meaning managers will just want to keep one eye on the injury report just in case the medical staff opt to give him some additional rest.

Doncic ended Wednesday's 130-117 win over the Wizards with 26 points (7-18 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 8-12 FT), seven rebounds and 10 assists in 32 minutes.

The 24-year-old superstar fell a few boards shy of his third triple-double of the season while leading the Mavs in scoring once again. Doncic is having a strong start to the season, and through 12 games he's on pace to set new career highs in three-pointers (4.2 per game) and all three shooting percentages (50.2/42.0/76.1) while topping 30 points per game for the second straight campaign. With Kyrie Irving nursing a sore foot, Doncic's usage should remain elevated in the short term even by his lofty standards.

Doncic posted 16 points (5-16 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-5 FT), two rebounds and two assists over 26 minutes during Tuesday's 131-110 loss to the Pelicans.

The Mavericks fell behind early and couldn't claw their way back, so Doncic sat the entire fourth quarter and ended with a season-low 26 minutes. This was Doncic's first real dud of the season, as he came into the contest averaging 32.6 points, 8.4 rebounds, 8.5 assists and 1.3 steals in 35.7 minutes per game over his first 10 appearances.

Doncic contributed 30 points (11-18 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-5 FT), four rebounds, nine assists and one steal in 28 minutes during Sunday's 136-124 victory over the Pelicans.

Doncic ended just one assist from recording a double-double, and while he has gone four contests without posting one, it's hard to find anything negative in the kind of season the star guard has had so far. Doncic is averaging 32.6 points, 8.5 assists and 8.4 rebounds through 10 games, putting up four double-doubles and two triple-doubles in that stretch.

Doncic finished Friday's 144-126 victory over the Clippers with 44 points (17-21 FG, 6-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one steal over 32 minutes.

Doncic delivered one of his best games of the season in this game, and that says something given he opened the campaign with a triple-double. Doncic looks like a man on a mission in 2023-24 and has already eclipsed the 30-point barrier in six of his nine games.

Doncic registered 31 points (11-26 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 7-10 FT), seven rebounds, eight assists, one block and four steals in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 127-116 loss to Toronto.

Doncic is averaging 31.5 points per game this season, which is second behind only Joel Embiid (31.7). The superstar forward has scored at least 18 points in every game this season. Doncic also made a defensive impact in Wednesday's loss, recording a season-high four steals.

Doncic finished Monday's 117-102 win over Orlando with 29 points (9-17 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds, six assists and two steals across 35 minutes.

Doncic was efficient while leading Dallas to a 28-point advantage in the second half. Orlando primarily tasked Jalen Suggs and rookie Anthony Black on Doncic defensively, and valiant effort was not enough to halt his 6-foot-7, 230 pound frame. A more difficult matchup awaits Doncic on Wednesday against Toronto.

Doncic (quadriceps) is available for Monday's game against the Magic, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

Doncic was questionable ahead of Monday's matchup but will be available for the second half of the Mavericks' back-to-back set. He's posted double-doubles in six consecutive appearances to begin the season and is averaging 32.0 points, 10.7 rebounds and 9.3 assists in 37.3 minutes per game.

Doncic is questionable for Monday's game against the Magic due to left quadriceps soreness.

Doncic and Kyrie Irving (foot) are both questionable for the second half of Dallas' first back-to-back set this season. If both of the Mavericks' superstars are sidelined, Tim Hardaway, Jaden Hardy, Josh Green, Dante Exum and Seth Curry would be candidates for increased usage.

Doncic closed Sunday's 124-118 win over Charlotte with 23 points (8-19 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 12 rebounds, nine assists and one block in 36 minutes.

Despite a cold night from beyond the arc, Doncic scored effectively and was a sharp facilitator. Notably, there was chatter throughout the game on Doncic favoring his left quad/leg, which have dealt with lingering issues for months. Don't be surprised if he shows up on the injury report in coming days, even if it's precautionary.

Doncic amassed 34 points (11-24 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 10 rebounds, eight assists and one block across 38 minutes during Friday's 125-114 loss to the Nuggets.

A heavyweight clash between Doncic and Nikola Jokic lived up to the billing as both players topped 30 points and came within an assist or two of a triple-double, but the latter got more support from his teammates. Doncic has had a blistering start to the season, scoring at least 33 points in four of five games with two triple-doubles and three double-doubles, and the 24-year-old is locked in from beyond the arc -- he's shooting a career-best 44.6 percent from three-point range while averaging an eye-popping 5.0 made threes a night.

Doncic recorded 18 points (5-16 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 7-9 FT), seven rebounds, 10 assists, one block and two steals over 40 minutes during Wednesday's 114-105 win over the Bulls.

It was the first time Doncic has shot less than 50 percent from the field this season, but he was buoyed by the scoring efforts of Grant Williams (25 points) and Tim Hardaway (24). Doncic was still able to contribute with his passing and has no registered 10-plus assists for the third time in four games. He's also played 40-plus minutes in consecutive games and will continue to see heavy playing time for as long as running mate Kyrie Irving (foot) remains out.

Doncic supplied 35 points (11-22 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 7-10 FT), 12 rebounds, 12 assists, one block and one steal over 40 minutes during Monday's 125-110 victory over the Grizzlies.

Kyrie Irving (foot) was unable to play in the contest, leaving Doncic with even more responsibility than usual in trying to push the Mavs to a 3-0 start. The magnificent point guard didn't disappoint, racking up his second triple-double over his first three games of the campaign while tallying a season-best assist total. Doncic continued his efficient start to the campaign, as he's made at least half of his field-goal attempts in all three of Dallas' contests and has shot a splendid 48.6 percent (18-for-37) from three-point range. Fantasy managers who drafted Doncic with one of the first picks in drafts this season haven't been disappointed, as he's averaging 39.0 points, 11.7 boards, 9.7 dimes and 1.0 steals while shooting 55.6 percent from the field and 70.4 percent from the charity stripe thus far.

Doncic totaled 49 points (16-25 FG, 9-14 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 10 rebounds and seven assists across 36 minutes during Friday's 125-120 win over the Nets.

Doncic couldn't record a second consecutive triple-double, as he ended just three dimes away from reaching that feat, but his scoring contributions were massive -- he missed just nine of his 25 shots and single-handedly led the Mavericks to victory against Brooklyn. Doncic has started the season on fire and has racked 82 points, 23 rebounds, 17 assists and two steals across his first two contests.

Doncic finished Wednesday's 126-119 victory over the Spurs with 33 points (13-25 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 4-7 FT), 13 rebounds, 10 assists and two steals over 34 minutes.

Doncic was dealing with a calf strain just a few days before the start of the regular season, but that wasn't an issue in this season opener, as he opened the campaign with a triple-double and came up huge when Dallas needed to close the game out in the fourth quarter. Doncic has come quite close to averaging a triple-double in each of the last four seasons, and he is expected to be one of the best players in fantasy in 2023-24 if he's able to stay healthy on a consistent basis.

Doncic (calf) will play in Wednesday's game against the Spurs,NBA writer Marc Stein reports.

Doncic was questionable for Wednesday's tilt with a strained left calf but managed to log full practices Monday and Tuesday before participating in Wednesday's shootaround. He's lined up to start alongside Kyrie Irving as one of the NBA's top backcourt duos.

Doncic (calf) remains questionable for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Spurs, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

Although the Mavericks upgraded several players from questionable to probable ahead of Wednesday's matchup, Doncic will retain his initial status. However, he's shown some signs that create optimism surrounding his availability. He fully participated in practice Monday and Tuesday, and he didn't experience any soreness Tuesday. The 24-year-old also participated in Wednesday's shootaround, but the Mavericks are likely continuing to evaluate him out of an abundance of caution ahead of tipoff.

Doncic (calf) participated in shootaround ahead of Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Doncic's participation in shootaround isn't particularly surprising, as he was a full participant at Monday's practice and didn't have any soreness Tuesday. The Mavericks will likely continue to examine the 24-year-old in the hours leading up to Wednesday's regular-season opener, but he certainly appears to be trending in the right direction.

Doncic (calf) has no soreness and will practice Tuesday prior to evaluating his calf before Wednesday's game against the Spurs, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

Doncic no longer feeling any soreness is a huge boost for his potential to suit up Wednesday. That being said, Dallas will certainly exercise an abundance of caution with the superstar. Doncic confirmed that he wouldn't know his availability until Wednesday, so his status could come down to pregame warmups.

Doncic (calf) was a full participant at Monday's practice, Brad Townsend of Dallas Morning News reports.

This is a huge step in the right direction after the Mavericks were unable to provide a timetable last week. Doncic will practice again Tuesday before a decision is made on his status for Opening Night on Wednesday against San Antonio. Even if Doncic is unavailable against the Spurs, it seems unlikely that he'll miss significant time to begin the regular season.

Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd said Friday that there's no updated timetable for Doncic's (calf) return, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Doncic's calf injury has lingered since his work for Slovenia during the FIBA World Cup this summer, but he has downplayed the issue. However, the Mavericks have taken a precautionary approach. If Doncic misses the regular-season opener against the Spurs on Oct. 25, Kyrie Irving (groin), Jaden Hardy, Josh Green and Tim Hardaway would be candidates for increased roles. Further clarity on Doncic's status should surface Tuesday when Dallas has to release its first official injury report of the 2023-24 campaign.

Doncic (calf) won't play in Friday's preseason finale against the Pistons, but the Mavericks are optimistic he'll return for the regular-season opener in San Antonio on Oct. 25, NBA writer Marc Stein reports.

Doncic has downplayed the calf issue all offseason, but Dallas continues to take a precautionary approach. Kyrie Irving (groin) has also been battling a lingering injury, but he returned to practice as a full participant Monday. If Doncic is unavailable for the start of the regular season, Irving, Jaden Hardy, Josh Green and Tim Hardaway would all be candidates for increased roles. Further clarity on Doncic's status should be available closer to Opening Night.

Doncic (calf) will be limited to five minutes of action when Dallas scrimmages Real Madrid in Spain on Tuesday, NBA writer Marc Steinreports.

Doncic suiting up seems to be purely ceremonial, as the Mavericks are tightly monitoring his calf injury. Doncic reportedly wants to play more, which could indicate that the injury is minor, but Dallas is mandating caution. Doncic could be limited throughout preseason activities for the Mavericks.

Doncic scored 18 points (5-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt , 6-7 FT) while adding six assists, five rebounds and two steals in 19 minutes during Saturday's 10-4-96 preseason loss to the Timberwolves.

The 24-year-old superstar already looks to be nearing regular-season form as Doncic produced half a triple-double in about half his usual court time. Both he and Kyrie Irving (groin) figure to see sky-high usage rates this season as Dallas has no other established scorers in the starting five, potentially giving Doncic a chance to approach or maybe even top the career-high 32.4 points per game he scored over 66 contests in 2022-23.

Doncic delivered 25 points (8-14 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 6-7 FT), five rebounds and an assist across 17 minutes in Thursday's 111-99 preseason loss to the Timberwolves.

Doncic led the way for the Mavs in this 12-point loss, and the star point guard was one of two Dallas players that scored in double digits in this one, with Jaden Hardy being the other one. Doncic is one of the most prolific players in the league and an absolute stud in every fantasy format you can imagine, and he should be treated as such. He figures to have the ball in his hands quite a lot while operating as the alpha dog on offense for Dallas.

Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd said Doncic (thigh) is slated to start at point guard in Thursday's preseason opener versus the Timberwolves, NBA writer Marc Stein reports.

Doncic said last week ahead of the Mavericks' first training camp practice that he's still seeking a precise diagnosis for the thigh injury that has bothered him since March and that he aggravated while playing for the Slovenian national team in this summer's FIBA Basketball World Cup, but the 24-year-old isn't concerned about his availability for the regular season. With Kidd confirming that the star guard will be included in the lineup for the preseason opener, fantasy managers shouldn't have much concern about Doncic's outlook heading into what will be his sixth NBA campaign. After averaging a career-best 32.4 points per game in 2022-23 while tallying 10 triple-doubles, Doncic once again has a case to be the No. 1 overall pick in fantasy points leagues, though his value is slightly lower in category leagues due to his lack of blocks production and poor free-throw percentage on a heavy volume of attempts.

Doncic said Wednesday that he's not 100 percent due to a thigh injury he suffered during the 2023 FIBA World Cup, but he plans to play through the issue during training camp and has some "appointments" upcoming to figure out the severity, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

It's unclear exactly when Doncic suffered the injury, but he's downplayed the issue since. The MVP candidate was able to get some light scrimmaging in during Wednesday's training camp practice, but he does anticipate being limited moving forward. Fantasy managers should certainly monitor Doncic's situation ahead of their drafts, but for now, it sounds like the superstar point guard has no desire to miss any regular-season action.

Doncic did not sustain an injury and was only scheduled to play in the first half of Slovenia's exhibition game against Greece on Friday, NBA writer Marc Stein reports.

Doncic banged knees with an opponent who was trying to set a screen in the first half of Friday's contest and didn't play in the second half, starting speculation that the Mavericks' star suffered an injury. However, it appears Doncic wasn't going to play in the second half, regardless, so he should be fine to suit up for Slovenia when the FIBA World Cup kicks off at the end of August.

Doncic suffered a lower body injury during the first half of Slovenia's exhibition versus Greece on Friday and didn't play in the second half, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.

It appeared like Doncic simply banged knees with an opposing player who was trying to set a screen, but the severity of the issue remains unclear. We'll continue to monitor the situation, but it wouldn't be surprising to see the perennial NBA MVP candidate proceed with caution.

Doncic won't play in the season finale Sunday against the Spurs due to injury recovery on his left thigh.

Doncic is one of several Mavericks players that won't play in the season finale with the team out of playoff contention. He played the first quarter and a few seconds of the second period before sitting out the rest of the contest, and he ends the campaign with MVP-like numbers, though he won't be in contention for the award. He ends the 2022-23 campaign with averages of 32.4 points, 8.6 rebounds and 8.0 assists per contest.

Doncic logged 13 points (4-11 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 5-7 FT), five rebounds and three assists in 13 minutes during Friday's 115-112 loss to the Bulls.

As expected, Doncic played just under 13 minutes Friday, all of which came in the first half as Dallas jumped out to an early lead. Over that brief stretch he was still able to contribute 13 points, which tied Markieff Morris and McKinley Wright for the team high, to go along with five assists and three rebounds. The star point guard did, however, go 0-of-5 from three and is now shooting a putrid 23.5 percent from beyond the arc in April.

Doncic will only be available for the first quarter of Friday's game against the Bulls, Tim MacMahon of ESPN reports.

With the Mavs shifting into draft pick preservation mode, it was fairly surprising that Doncic was initially deemed available for Friday's game in the first place, as Dallas will hold out several regulars, including Kyrie Irving (foot), Tim Hardaway (ankle) and Christian Wood (rest). While the expectation remains that Doncic will start and play close to a usual workload early on, MacMachon reports that the Mavs plan to pull Doncic from the game after the first quarter -- ostensibly in an effort to both ease the strain on their superstar while also lessening their chances of winning and, in turn, potentially jeopardizing their top-10 protected pick in the 2023 NBA Draft. With Doncic unavailable for more than 12 minutes, expect Jaden Hardy, McKinley Wright and Frank Ntilikina to be among the beneficiaries.

Doncic (thigh) will be available for Friday's game against the Bulls.

As expected, Doncic has been upgraded from probable to available, and with Kyrie Irving (foot) out, the Slovenian superstar should see all the usage he can handle as he tries to will the Mavericks into the final Play-In spot. Over his past seven appearances, Doncic has averaged 24.3 points, 5.9 assists, 4.9 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 0.9 blocks in 38.9 minutes per game.

Doncic is probable for Friday's game against Chicago due to left thigh injury management.

Doncic's thigh injury hasn't appeared to be a significant concern, and he'll likely suit up once again Friday as the Mavericks continue to battle for a spot in the Play-In Tournament. He's posted double-doubles in six of his last eight appearances, averaging 30.8 points, 9.1 rebounds and 8.5 assists in 38.9 minutes per game.

Doncic scored 29 points (9-19 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 8-10 FT) to go with 10 rebounds, six assists and one steal across 39 minutes in Wednesday's 123-119 win over the Kings.

Though Doncic was held scoreless in the final period, he did the heavy lifting through the first three quarters before Kyrie Irving and Christian Wood picked up the slack late, combining to score all 31 of Dallas' points in the game's final 12 minutes. Doncic's final line didn't deviate dramatically from his season-long averages and percentages, but the fact that the Mavericks secured their second win in nine games is noteworthy with regard to his availability moving forward. The point guard noted prior to Wednesday's contest that he doesn't plan to sit out any games so long as Dallas has a shot at securing the final spot in the Western Conference Play-In Tournament, and the win over the Kings now leaves the Mavericks tied with the Thunder with a 38-42 record. The Thunder hold a tiebreaker and could claim a half-game lead in the standings with a win over the Jazz on Thursday, but since the Mavericks still wouldn't be eliminated from playoff contention in that scenario, expect Doncic to play his usual allotmen

Doncic (thigh) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Kings.

This was the expected outcome for Doncic, who was listed as probable on the team's initial injury report. The Mavericks are clinging to playoff hopes and still have a shot at claiming the 10th spot in the west, but a tough opponent in the Kings remains on tap. Doncic should log his usual workload as Dallas takes aim at an upset.

Doncic (thigh) is listed as probable for Wednesday's game against the Kings.

Doncic said earlier Tuesday that he plans on playing Wednesday, and his probable designation confirms that notion. Since missing five straight contests, the All-Star point guard has appeared in seven straight games, posting 31.0 points, 9.0 rebounds and 8.9 assists during that stretch. With Dallas sitting in 11th place in the Western Conference, there's been rumors of Doncic and Irving being shut down for the remainder of the regular season, but until Dallas makes an official decision, it's safe to presume the two superstars will suit up on a regular basis.

The Mavericks are "seriously considering" shutting down Doncic for the final few games of the season, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Doncic has been on a tear since returning from a five-game absence, as he's averaged 31.0 points, 9.0 rebounds and 8.9 assists in 38.9 minutes per game over his last seven appearances. However, the Mavericks are a game out of the Play-In Tournament heading into the final week of the season, so the team will see how the Thunder and Jazz fare before Dallas plays its first game of the week Wednesday. If the Mavericks are in danger of missing the postseason by then, the team could choose to shut down Doncic and Kyrie Irving.

Doncic had 42 points (17-25 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 10 rebounds, eight assists and two steals over 45 minutes during Saturday's 129-122 loss to the Heat.

Doncic tried his best to carry the Mavericks to a much-needed victory Saturday, yet ultimately fell just short of the mark. Now sitting outside the play-in picture, the mid-season trade that netted Kyrie Irving is beginning to look like a poor decision. While they are certainly still in the discussion to be a part of the play-in tournament, they don't look like a team who can challenge for the title. With only four games remaining, they are going to need a few things to go their way, starting with a victory over the Hawks on Sunday. Once again, expect to see Doncic at the forefront of their attack.

Doncic produced 24 points (9-20 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, eight assists and one block in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 116-108 loss to the 76ers.

The 24-year-old superstar continues to do all that he can to drag the Mavericks into the postseason. Over the last five games since returning from a thigh strain, Doncic has four double-doubles and is averaging 30.6 points, 9.4 assists, 9.2 boards and 3.8 threes. Despite those numbers though, Dallas is only 1-4 over that stretch and is one game back of OKC for the final spot in the play-in tournament, with only five games remaining on the schedule.

Doncic registered 25 points (8-17 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Monday's 127-104 victory over the Pacers.

Doncic led Dallas in scoring, threes and rebounds while posting a team-high-tying assist total in just 28 minutes during a blowout victory Monday. Doncic has posted at least 25 points, five rebounds and five assists in four straight contests.

Doncic won't be suspended for Monday's game against the Pacers after the league rescinded his 16th technical foul.

Doncic was issued a technical foul during Sunday's loss to the Hornets, but he'll be available for the second half of the back-to-back set after the league reversed the call. However, the Mavericks still have seven regular-season games remaining, and it's possible he'll be unavailable for one of those matchups if he's called for a technical foul in any of those games. Doncic has been on a tear since returning from a five-game absence, averaging 34.7 points, 11.0 assists and 9.7 rebounds in 39.3 minutes per game over his last three appearances.

Doncic finished Sunday's loss to the Hornets with 40 points (12-29 FG, 7-16 3Pt, 9-10 FT), 12 rebounds, eight assists, two steals, two blocks and four turnovers in 40 minutes. He was also whistled for his 16th technical foul of the season, which triggers an automatic one-game suspension.

While Doncic had a fantastic statistical game, the Mavericks fell to the Hornets for the second time in three days and are now on the outside looking in at the play-in tournament. Unless the NBA rescinds Doncic's 16th tech -- a rather unlikely scenario -- he'll be suspended for Monday's game at Indiana. Assuming that's the case, Doncic will still be eligible to play in three games next week, beginning with Wednesday's matchup with the 76ers in Philadelphia. After that, Dallas plays at Miami and at Atlanta in a Saturday/Sunday back-to-back set.

Doncic ended Friday's 117-109 loss to the Hornets with 34 points (12-23 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 10 rebounds, eight assists and one block over 37 minutes.

Doncic led the Mavericks once again, but he can't do everything on his own, and Dallas suffered another surprising loss despite the fact the star guard finished just two assists away from a triple-double. Despite the team's struggles, Doncic has been sensational in recent weeks. He's averaging 30.7 points, 9.2 assists and 7.2 rebounds per game across six March outings.

Doncic closed with 30 points (11-27 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 6-10 FT), seven rebounds, 17 assists and one steal in 41 minutes during Wednesday's 127-125 loss to the Warriors.

Doncic had missed his team's last five matchups while dealing with a left thigh strain, but it was clear he wasn't on any type of restriction Wednesday evening. He poured in a game-high 30 points and dominated as a facilitator, especially with Kyrie Irving (foot) ruled out, setting his best assist mark of the 2022-23 campaign. Doncic is averaging 30.0 points, 6.6 rebounds, 9.4 assists and 1.0 steals through five March appearances.

Doncic (thigh) is officially available for Wednesday's game versus the Warriors.

Doncic was upgraded from questionable to probable on game day, foreshadowing his return to the lineup following a five-game absence. Doncic will presumably retake his starting spot on the ball upon his return, replace Kyrie Irving (foot), who will miss the contest. Per Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News, head coach Jason Kidd suggested 40 minutes is the cap for Doncic, so there seem to be minimal restrictions for the superstar Wednesday.

Doncic (thigh) has been upgraded to probable for Wednesday's game against the Warriors.

Doncic has missed the last five games due to a left thigh strain but is trending toward returning for Wednesday's matchup. It's possible he'll face some sort of minutes restriction against the Warriors if he's cleared to suit up, but he should still play a prominent role for the Mavericks. Jaden Hardy should see a decrease in playing time if both Doncic and Kyrie Irving (foot) are available.

Doncic (thigh) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Warriors.

Doncic has missed five consecutive games due to a left thigh strain and may be sidelined for a sixth straight. He also drew a questionable tag ahead of Monday's loss to Memphis before being downgraded to out, so his designation for Wednesday doesn't offer any fresh insight on the MVP's status. Kyrie Irving is also questionable after tweaking his right foot in Monday's loss, so if both superstars are out again, Jaden Hardy and Josh Green would presumably be in store for hefty usages.

Doncic (thigh) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.

Although Doncic was questionable for Monday's matchup, his usage during the team's shootaround suggested that he'd be unavailable against Memphis, and he'll officially miss a fifth consecutive game. Jaden Hardy and Josh Green should continue to see increased run Monday, but their workload will depend on whether Kyrie Irving (foot) is cleared to play.

Doncic (thigh) is officially listed as questionable for Monday's game against Memphis, but per Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com, "there wasn't much optimism" about the point guard's availability following Dallas' morning shootaround.

There's certainly nothing final about Doncic's availability yet, but it sounds like he was pretty limited during shootaround. The MVP candidate has already missed four straight games due to the thigh injury, so if he's sidelined again, Jaden Hardy and Josh Green figure to remain the primary beneficiaries, though both players' usage could take a hit if Kyrie Irving (foot) and/or Doncic are cleared to suit up.

Doncic (thigh) is questionable for Monday's game against Memphis.

Doncic has missed the last four games due to his thigh injury, but he's made positive strides recently since he fully practiced Thursday. However, it's not yet clear whether he'll be available for Monday's matchup. If the 24-year-old remains out, the Mavericks' backcourt rotation will depend on whether Kyrie Irving (foot) is available.

Doncic (thigh) will not play in Friday's game against the Lakers despite logging a full practice Thursday.

Doncic being ruled out on the Mavericks' initial injury report comes as a bit of a surprise considering he managed to take part in Thursday's practice. However, with a couple of days off before the Mavericks' next game, Dallas could just be playing it safe with the superstar guard. With Kyrie Irving (foot) questionable, the backcourt could once again be left to Jaden Hardy, Frank Ntilikina and McKinley Wright. Doncic's next chance to play will come Monday against Memphis.

Doncic (thigh) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, and his status for Friday's game against the Lakers is to be determined, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.

Both Doncic and Kyrie Irving (foot) fully participated in Thursday's practice, so there's a good chance they'll return Friday. If that's the case, Jaden Hardy and Josh Green will have their roles reduced back to normal while the two elite playmakers take over their duties. Doncic has missed three straight games due to a strained left thigh.

Doncic (thigh) will remain on the sidelines for Wednesday's game in San Antonio.

Wednesday will be the third straight game on the sidelines for Doncic, and with Kyrie Irving (foot), Christian Wood (foot) and Tim Hardaway (calf) all questionable, it could again be the Jaden Hardy show Wednesday. Doncic's next opportunity to play will come Friday against the Lakers, but it's not a great sign that he's still getting ruled out a full 24 hours in advance of tip-off.

Doncic (thigh) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.

Doncic is considered day-to-day after sustaining a left thigh injury Wednesday against the Pelicans, but he'll be unavailable for a second consecutive game. Tim Hardaway and Jaden Hardy saw increased run in his absence Saturday and will likely continue to have larger roles during Monday's rematch against Memphis, especially if Kyrie Irving (foot) remains out. Doncic's next chance to return will be Wednesday against the Spurs.

Doncic won't play in Saturday's game versus the Grizzlies due to a left thigh strain and is day-to-day moving forward, Callie Caplan of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Doncic reportedly avoided a serious injury but won't play Saturday due to a left thigh strain he suffered against New Orleans. Tim Hardaway, Frank Ntilikina and Justin Holiday are candidates to receive increased roles in his absence. Doncic's next chance to suit up is Monday's rematch with the Grizzlies.

Doncic's MRI on his left thigh came back clean Thursday and he is expected to return to action as soon as his discomfort allows, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief as Doncic appears to have avoided a serious injury in Wednesday's loss to the Pelicans. The superstar guard has expressed issues with the same thigh coming out of the All-Star break, so the Mavericks could exercise some degree of caution, although they need to start racking up wins to avoid Play-In Tournament territory in the Western Conference. Look for an official injury report to determine Doncic's availability for Saturday's matchup with Memphis.

Doncic (thigh) will undergo an MRI Thursday after exiting Wednesday's game against the Pelicans in the third quarter due to the injury, Andrew Lopez of ESPN.com reports.

Doncic looked to be in pain throughout the game and said his thigh felt "not good" in a post-game press conference. He will get further imaging Thursday to hopefully get a more clear idea on the severity of the issue. With fantasy playoffs around the corner, it's imperative that managers check back in Thursday for an update on Doncic's status.

Doncic has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against the Pelicans with a strained left thigh.

It appeared Doncic had been playing through discomfort Wednesday before being sent to the locker room late in the third period. He will finish the contest with 15 points (4-14 FG), eight assists and three rebounds in 28 minutes of action. For the rest of the game, Kyrie Irving will see a bump in usage while Frank Ntilikina could see a few more minutes. Doncic will have a couple of days to rest before the Mavericks take on the Grizzlies in Memphis on Saturday.

Doncic posted 34 points (8-23 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 17-19 FT), nine rebounds and four assists over 35 minutes during Sunday's 130-126 loss to the Suns.

The superstar talents of both teams were on full display as Doncic, Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant and Devin Booker all scored 30 or more points, but the Dallas duo came up a little short. Since returning from a heel injury in mid-February, Doncic has topped 30 points in five of eight games, averaging 33.3 points, 7.8 boards, 7.1 assists, 2.9 threes and 1.1 steals over that stretch as the Mavericks try to climb out of the play-in zone and lock up a playoff spot.

Doncic racked up 42 points (13-22 FG, 7-13 3Pt, 9-11 FT), four rebounds, 12 assists and one steal over 40 minutes during Thursday's 133-126 win over Philadelphia.

Doncic was fantastic in the victory, scoring a game-high 42 points to go with 12 assists. Both he and Kyrie Irving scored at least 40 points, powering the Mavericks to a much-needed victory. To round out what was a great night, Doncic even managed to shoot 9-of-11 from the line, a welcome sight for managers who have had to ride the wave that is his free throw shooting this season.

Doncic finished Tuesday's 124-122 loss to the Pacers with 39 points (14-25 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 8-12 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and one block across 38 minutes.

Doncic had failed to reach 30 points in his previous two games. With 39 points Tuesday, Doncic still hasn't had a stretch of three games without a 30-point performance. The Pacers, who rank 24th in the NBA in defensive rating, were the perfect remedy for Doncic. The NBA's leading scorer dominated in the paint, where he made 10 of 13 shots. However, the Mavericks did not get Doncic a touch with a chance to win the game in the final 10 seconds, as Kyrie Irving took the last shot. Dallas is now 1-5 with Irving and Doncic in the lineup.

Doncic notched 26 points (10-22 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and one steal across 36 minutes during Sunday's 111-108 loss to the Lakers.

Doncic had a terrific first quarter with 14 points on 5-of-8 shooting from the field to go along with six boards and three assists. After going scoreless in the second quarter, he knocked down another five of 11 shots in the second half for 12 points but added just one assist and one rebound over that stretch as the Mavericks allowed the Lakers to storm back late. The point guard finished with a team-high 26 points and knocked down four of eight attempts from beyond the arc, marking his first game this month with at least four threes.

Doncic registered 28 points (8-16 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 11-12 FT), seven rebounds, 10 assists, two blocks and two steals across 30 minutes during Thursday's 142-116 win over the Spurs.

Doncic struggled with his three-point shot during the first game after the All-Star break, but he salvaged his scoring production with efficient shooting from inside the arc and at the charity stripe. The MVP candidate has now made at least 10 three throws in three straight games and is averaging 32.7 points during that stretch. Doncic also dished out a team-high 10 assists -- his most since Jan. 14 -- and recorded multiple tallies in each defensive category in the same game for just the third time all season. Overall, it was a very solid return to action for Doncic, though his production could have been even more prolific had the Spurs kept the contest close in the second half.

Doncic supplied 37 points (12-22 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 10-12 FT), four rebounds, nine assists and four steals in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 118-109 loss to the Nuggets.

Doncic did everything he could to keep Dallas in the game, starting with 17 points in the first quarter on 5-of-8 shooting from the field. He entered the break with 23 points before pouring in another 14 on 5-of-10 shooting in the second half, but his effort would fall short as Dallas lost its third straight. The star point guard finished with a game-high 37 points and team-high nine assists, five of which came in the third quarter. He's now scored at least 30 points in three of four games this month and is shooting at a solid 55.6 percent clip over that stretch.

Doncic recorded 33 points (10-20 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 11-15 FT), 12 rebounds, six assists and one steal across 36 minutes during Monday's 124-121 loss to Minnesota.

Doncic secured his first double-double of February by shooting with efficiency (50.0 percent from the field) and crashing the glass. He looked strong in his second game back from a heel injury, an issue that forced him to miss four contests at the beginning of the month. It's been promising to see both Doncic and Kyrie Irving succeed following the massive trade, as both players put up 30-plus points and contributed in other areas Monday evening.

Doncic accumulated 27 points (11-20 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 3-5 FT), nine rebounds and five assists in 41 minutes during Saturday's 133-128 overtime loss to Sacramento.

Doncic was highly efficient in the first half, knocking down seven of 10 field goal attempts for 19 points to go along with five boards and three assists. He struggled to find that same rhythm after the break, however, going a combined 4-of-10 from the field between the second half and overtime period for another eight points as the Mavericks lost a tight one on the road. The point guard finished second on the team with 27 points and grabbed a team-high nine rebounds, though he also led the contest in turnovers with six. Doncic has now shot above 55 percent from the floor in three straight, averaging 37 points per game over that span.

Doncic (heel) is available for Saturday's game against the Kings, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

After a four-game absence, Doncic returns to a new starting five featuring the recently-acquired Kyrie Irving. The two form one of the more intimidating playmaking duos in the NBA, though how they will be used together remains somewhat murky. That said, fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried about either player's usage rates, as Irving made it work next to Durant, and Doncic made it work next to Dinwiddie. Regardless, some on-court clunkiness is fair to expect out of the gate.

Doncic (heel) is probable for Saturday's meeting with Sacramento.

Doncic is slated to return from a four-game absence due to a bruised right heel Saturday. He will likely make up half of the Mavericks' new star-studded backcourt next to Kyrie Irving. Although the addition of Irving will likely take the ball out of Doncic's hands more frequently, he could reap some of the benefits of not being the primary focus of the opposing defense. His return will leave fewer opportunities for Jaden Hardy and McKinley Wright.

Doncic (heel) has been ruled out for Friday's game against Sacramento.

Doncic experienced some heel pain during a pickup game Thursday and will be forced to miss a fourth consecutive matchup after initially being listed as questionable. However, he hopes to return for the second half of the back-to-back set Saturday against the Kings. Jaden Hardy should continue to see a slight uptick in playing time with Doncic unavailable.

Doncic (heel) said he will "probably not" be able to play Friday against the Kings, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

Doncic was listed as questionable for Friday's matchup and was initially expected to be available against Sacramento, but he had some pain in his heel after playing in a pickup game Thursday and will likely need at least one more day to rest. The 23-year-old hopes to play in Saturday's rematch against the Kings but will presumably continue to be monitored to avoid rushing him back too early.

Doncic (heel) is officially listed as questionable, but the MVP candidate is expected to return to the Mavericks' starting lineup Friday against the Kings, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Doncic has missed three consecutive contests due to a right heel contusion, but he's expected to be back in the mix Friday. If that's indeed the case, it'll mark the first time Doncic and recently acquired Kyrie Irving share Dallas' backcourt. Despite Charania's positive update, fantasy managers are still encouraged to monitor Doncic's status ahead of the 10:00 p.m. ET tipoff to confirm his availability and make sure the point guard won't have any limitations following his multi-game absence.

Doncic (heel) is questionable for Friday's game against the Kings, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.

Doncic has missed the last three games due to a right heel contusion, but coach Jason Kidd is optimistic that the 23-year-old will be able to return Friday or Saturday. Even if he's unavailable Friday, it wouldn't be surprising to see him back in action for the second half of the back-to-back set. Jaden Hardy would likely continue to see increased run if Doncic is sidelined Friday.

Jason Kidd said he's "optimistic" that Doncic (heel) will be able to return by Friday or Saturday, Mark Medina of NBA.com reports.

Doncic will be spending his third straight game on the sidelines Wednesday night, but Kidd said that he received treatment and was able to go through some on-court work prior to Wednesday's game, so he's moving in a positive direction. With the weekend games coming as a back-to-back, Doncic will likely only be available for one of them, but it sounds like his return is just around the corner.

Doncic (heel) is set to rejoin the team Wednesday in Los Angeles but won't play against the Clippers, Callie Caplan of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Doncic is in line to miss his third straight contest while on the mend from a right heel injury, but this is likely a sign that the start point guard is nearing a return. His next opportunity to take the floor will arrive Friday in Sacramento.

Doncic (heel) has been ruled out of Monday's game against the Jazz, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.

Doncic was expected to miss Monday's game against the Jazz, but now it's been confirmed that he won't be available for that contest. This is a huge blow for Dallas, but at the same time, it's an expected one since these injuries take at least a few days to heal properly. His next chance to play will come Wednesday at the Clippers.

Doncic (heel) is expected to sit through at least Monday's game versus the Jazz, NBA writer Marc Stein reports.

Doncic had already been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Warriors, but he's likely to tack on at least one more before he's cleared to retake the floor. The team should supply a more official word on his status ahead of Monday's clash, but things certainly appear grim at this point.

Doncic (heel) will not play Saturday versus the Warriors but could rejoin the team at some point during the five-game road trip,

Doncicj won't travel to open the road trip and will miss at least Saturday's contest, and it's entirely possible he will miss more than one contest. News of Doncic rejoining the team at some point during the trip could signal his return to the floor. At this point, the earliest that could happen is Monday in Utah. Spencer Dinwiddie figures to claim the starting point guard job in the interim, with Reggie Bullock, Frank Nitilikina and Josh Green all likely to see more action as well.

Doncic (heel) didn't participate in Friday's practice session, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

Doncic exited Thursday's win over the Pelicans due to a bruised right heel and underwent an MRI on Friday. Coach Jason Kidd said he isn't yet sure whether Doncic will be able to play Saturday against the Warriors. The 23-year-old's injury isn't believed to be particularly severe, but it's unclear whether he'll be forced to miss any time. Frank Ntilikina and Jaden Hardy are candidates to see increased playing time if Doncic is sidelined.

Doncic exited early during Thursday's 111-106 win over the Pelicans due to a right heel bruise, and an update on his status is expected to be provided at Mavericks practice Friday, Grant Afseth of DallasBasketball.com reports. He finished the game with 31 points (12-19 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 5-8 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and two steals in 23 minutes.

While attempting a layup, Doncic was knocked off balance mid-air and landed awkwardly on his heel before crashing to the floor on his hip. Doncic appeared to be in significant pain, so fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if he sits out Saturday's matchup against the Warriors. We'll find out more when the medical staff takes a closer look.

Doncic provided 53 points (17-24 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 14-18 FT), eight rebounds, five assists and two steals across 36 minutes during Monday's 111-105 victory over Detroit.

Doncic single-handedly carried the Mavericks to victory Monday, scoring 53 of their 111 points. The fact that Spencer Dinwiddie was their second-leading scorer with 12 points tells you everything you need to know about this performance. Returning from a one-game absence due to an ankle injury, Doncic showed no signs of rust, much to the delight of his managers. The Mavericks need him on the floor as much as possible, especially if they are to make any real noise this season. Barring injury, he should be locked in as an elite fantasy option ROS, no matter the format.

Doncic (ankle) will be available for Monday night's game against Detroit.

A left ankle sprain forced Doncic out of Thursday's game against Phoenix and kept him in street clothes for Saturday's loss in Utah. However, after undergoing treatment for the last few days, the superstar guard will return to the lineup as the Mavs begin a three-game week. Fantasy managers may want to proceed with some level of caution, though after Monday night Doncic will have the benefit of two days off prior to Thursday's home matchup against the Pelicans. Prior to the injury, Doncic averaged 32.3 points, 10.3 rebounds, 7.6 assists, 0.8 steals and 2.1 threes (29.6% 3Pt) over his last 10 appearances.

Doncic (ankle) is questionable for Monday's game against the Pistons.

Doncic sat out Saturday's game against the Jazz due to what's being called a mild left ankle sprain, but he'll be in the mix to return following a one-game absence. If he's unavailable once again, Spencer Dinwiddie should continue to operate as the Mavericks' primary point guard, while Frank Ntilikina would likely see increased playing time.

Doncic (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game versus the Jazz.

Doncic is being viewed through a day-to-day lens, which is a positive development following his departure from Thursday's game against the Suns because of a left ankle sprain. Unfortunately, the sprain will cost him at least one contest, likely placing Spencer Dinwiddie in a prime position to improve his fantasy stat line as the team's primary point guard.

Doncic (ankle) has been deemed day-to-day with a "mild sprain," Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Doncic exited Thursday's win over the Suns after spraining his ankle early in the first quarter. It's a relief for fantasy managers that the injury isn't severe, and he should tentatively be considered questionable for Saturday's game at Utah. If Doncic is forced to miss any time, coach Jason Kidd could hand more minutes to Frank Ntilikina and Jaden Hardy, though leaning on the starters more may have the most fantasy impact. Notably, Tim Hardaway and Spencer Dinwiddie both saw 40 minutes Thursday.

Doncic (ankle) will not return to Thursday's contest against the Suns, NBA writer Marc Stein reports.

Doncic picked up a left ankle sprain three minutes into Thursday's matchup with Phoenix and he won't return, finishing with only one rebound. Expect Josh Green, Spencer Dinwiddie and Tim Hardaway to all see an uptick in minutes for the remainder of Thursday's contest. The severity of Doncic's ankle injury is uncertain at this point.

Doncic (leg) heads to the locker room early in Thursday's contest against the Suns, Dwain Price of the Mavericks' official site reports.

Doncic was forced off the court early in the first quarter after suffering what appeared to be a leg injury. The guard limped straight to the locker room with Josh Green in to replace him. Expect Green, Spencer Dinwiddie and Tim Hardaway to see increased minutes if Doncic can't return.

Doncic posted 41 points (16-29 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 9-12 FT), 15 rebounds, six assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 127-126 loss to the Wizards.

Doncic was unstoppable again Tuesday, dropping at least 40 points for the 10th time this season. At this point, every night is a masterclass, with Doncic simply too crafty for anyone put in front of him. Unfortunately, the Mavericks have now lost five of their past six games, a slide that sees them sitting sixth in the Western Conference. Of course, they would love to avoid the play-in game, and so Doncic is going to need to continue to do his thing on a nightly basis.

Doncic finished with 34 points (12-24 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 5-8 FT), 12 rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 38 minutes Friday in the Mavericks' 115-90 win over the Heat.

The five triples were Doncic's most thus far during the 2023 portion of the Mavericks' schedule, as the fifth-year guard had been averaging 1.9 triples on 25 percent shooting over his first seven outings of the new year. Doncic also offered his usual high-volume contributions in the rebounds and assists categories, but the poor free-throw shooting took an even bigger fantasy night off the table. The 23-year-old remains the No. 1 fantasy asset in points leagues for the season, but his 73.1 percent mark from the charity stripe on 11.2 attempts per game bumps his value down several spots in eight- and nine-category leagues.

Doncic contributed 30 points (9-19 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 10-12 FT), four rebounds and eight assists over 39 minutes during Wednesday's 130-122 loss to Atlanta.

Doncic got off to a phenomenal start, going 6-of-7 from the field for 19 points in the first quarter, including 6-of-6 from the free-throw line. He struggled from that point on, however, knocking down just three of 12 shot attempts between the second and fourth quarters for another 11 points as Dallas suffered its third consecutive loss. Doncic still tied Dejounte Murray with a game-high 30 points in the contest but added a game-high seven turnovers, which proved to be costly for the Mavericks down the stretch. His four rebounds on the night were also the fewest he's recorded in a game since Oct. 30.

Doncic (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against the Hawks.

As expected, Doncic will be available Wednesday after initially being listed as probable with left ankle soreness. The MVP candidate missed Dallas' previous contest due to the issue, but it was the second half of a back-to-back set, which has been a customary rest spot for him this season. Expect Doncic, who's averaging 33.3 points, 9.0 rebounds and 8.8 assists in 37.4 minutes per game, to handle his usual workload against the Hawks.

Doncic (ankle) is considered probable for Wednesday's game versus the Hawks.

Doncic looks set to make his return following a one-game absence in the second contest of a back-to-back set versus Portland. The star point man is averaging 31.5 points, 10.3 rebounds and 8.5 assists over 40.6 minutes per game in January and will likely be called on for a heavy workload again with McKinley Wright (foot) set to sit Wednesday.

Doncic (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Doncic was limited to a season-low 15 points Saturday against Portland and will be unavailable for the second half of the back-to-back set, marking the fifth consecutive time he's sat out the second half of a back-to-back set. Jaden Hardy and McKinley Wright are candidates to see increased playing time Sunday.

Doncic is questionable for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers due to left ankle soreness.

Doncic scored a season-low 15 points during Saturday's loss to Portland and is questionable for the second half of Dallas' back-to-back set. Seeing as the MVP candidate has sat out the second half of four straight back-to-backs, it's safe to assume Doncic is trending toward sitting out Sunday night. Regardless, fantasy managers should confirm Doncic's availability before locking in lineups.

Doncic produced 15 points (7-19 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 1-6 FT), six rebounds, 10 assists, one block and one steal in 36 minutes during Saturday's 136-119 loss to Portland.

Coach Jason Kidd eventually pulled Doncic in the fourth quarter, which was one reason for the decreased stat line. It was a very uncharacteristic night for Doncic, who is one of the most consistent fantasy options in the league. The Trail Blazers controlled every facet of the game and despite recording another double-double, Doncic couldn't stem the tide.

Doncic closed Thursday's 119-115 double-overtime victory over the Lakers with 35 points (14-28 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-7 FT), 14 rebounds, 13 assists, one block and one steal in 53 minutes.

Doncic putting up eye-popping numbers has become an expectation at this point, and Thursday's triple-double was his fourth over his past eight contests. What made his performance against the Lakers especially memorable was his clutch shooting down the stretch -- Doncic hit a three-pointer with six seconds remaining in regulation to send the game to overtime, then hit another triple with under a minute left in the first extra period to push the Mavericks to double-OT, where they ultimately pulled out the victory. There are few superlatives that haven't already been used to describe Doncic's play this season, as he's elevated his game to historic levels, becoming the first player in NBA history to average at least 40 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists over a 10-game span, per ESPN. On the campaign, the superstar point guard is averaging 34.3 points, 9.0 boards, 8.8 dimes, 2.9 three-pointers and 1.6 steals across a career-high 37.5 minutes per game.

Doncic totaled 43 points (12-22 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 16-21 FT), 11 rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 43 minutes during Tuesday's 113-101 loss to the Clippers.

It took a bit for Doncic to warm up after missing a game, but he roared back with 20 points in the fourth quarter, placing the Mavericks within striking distance. He had two key three-pointers to narrow the gap further late in the game, but it wasn't enough to overcome a brilliant night from Kawhi Leonard. Doncic and company have an intriguing matchup against the Lakers Thursday night, where Doncic will likely line up opposite LeBron James.

Coach Jason Kidd said Doncic (ankle) will play Tuesday against the Clippers, Ohm Youngmisuk of ESPN.com reports.

The 23-year-old was upgraded from questionable to probable earlier Tuesday, so it's no surprise he'll be suiting up in Los Angeles. Doncic sat out Sunday's matchup with the Thunder but averaged 36.4 points, 9.8 rebounds, 8.6 assists and 1.2 steals in 36.4 minutes across the previous five contests.

Doncic (ankle) has been upgraded to probable for Tuesday's game against the Clippers.

Doncic was present at Tuesday's morning shootaround, so it's not too surprising that he's been upgraded from questionable to probable. The MVP candidate missed Sunday's loss to the Thunder with left ankle soreness but should make his return against the Clippers. Over the past 10 games, Doncic has averaged 36.8 points, 10.2 rebounds, 8.9 assists and 1.7 steals in 37.5 minutes.

Doncic (ankle) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's contest against the Clippers, but he was present at shootaround and participated in a shooting contest, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

The extent of Doncic's participation during shootaround is unclear, but it's encouraging to see the MVP candidate testing his ankle ahead of Tuesday's contest. The dynamic point guard was sidelined for Sunday's matchup due to the sore left ankle, but his absence came during the second half of a back-to-back set, which has been customary this season and suggests the issue isn't all that serious. Despite the promising update, fantasy managers are still encouraged to confirm Doncic's availability ahead of the 10:30 p.m. ET tipoff.

Doncic (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Clippers, NBA writer Marc Stein reports.

Doncic was sidelined Sunday and is questionable for Tuesday's matchup due to a sore left ankle. Each of his previous four absences this season have come during the second half of a back-to-back set, so barring a turn for the worse, it's safe to presume the MVP candidate with be back in action against Los Angeles. Over his past nine appearances, Doncic has averaged 38.8 points, 10.7 rebounds, 9.1 assists and 1.8 steals in 38.6 minutes.

Doncic (ankle) has been ruled out in advance of Sunday's game in Oklahoma City.

Just as Doncic hinted might be the case following Saturday's 127-117 win over the Pelicans, he'll end up missing his fourth game of the season Sunday while he tends to a sore left ankle. Doncic's absence Sunday likely has more to do with the Mavericks playing the second half of a back-to-back set than any concern about the injury being a long-term issue, so fantasy managers shouldn't have too many qualms about keeping the MVP candidate active during the Mavericks' upcoming four-game week. Spencer Dinwiddie will likely see more time on the ball in Doncic's stead Sunday, while players like Tim Hardaway, Christian Wood and Jaden Hardy could see heightened roles as scorers.

Doncic is uncertain to play Sunday against the Thunder due to ankle soreness, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

"We'll see," Doncic said when asked whether he will play Sunday at OKC while also mentioning he's been dealing with a sore ankle. Under that scenario, it wouldn't be shocking if he gets some much-needed rest against the Thunder, especially given the usage he carries on a game-to-game basis. He posted a triple-double of 34 points (10-23 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 11-15 FT), 10 rebounds and 10 assists across 39 minutes against the Pelicans on Saturday.

Doncic (ankle) will play Saturday versus the Pelicans.

Doncic was initially termed probable, which positioned him to play despite some left ankle soreness. He will indeed suit up and will look to get back on track following an off night by his standards Thursday, finishing with just 23 points on 7-of-23 shooting from the field and 0-of-6 shooting from beyond the arc.

Doncic is probable for Saturday's game against the Pelicans due to left ankle soreness.

Doncic snapped his streak of six consecutive games with 30-plus points by posting 23 points in 31 minutes during Thursday's loss to Boston, and he's apparently dealing with an ankle issue following the matchup. However, he doesn't appear to be in significant danger of missing time against New Orleans. Over his last nine appearances, the 23-year-old has averaged 37.1 points, 10.2 rebounds, 8.8 assists and 1.9 steals in 37.3 minutes per game.

Doncic totaled 23 points (7-23 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 9-11 FT), nine rebounds and three assists over 31 minutes during Thursday's 124-95 loss to the Celtics.

Doncic looked like his usual, spectacular self in the first half with 20 points on 6-of-15 shooting from the field to go along with six boards and two assists. However, the Mavericks guard couldn't buy a bucket over the final two quarters, going just 1-of-8 with three points as Dallas fell to the Celtics and snapped its seven-game winning streak. Doncic still managed to record a team-high 23 points, but also failed to knock down a three in the contest for only the second time this season and is just 1-of-15 from beyond the arc over his last two games.

Doncic closed Monday's 111-106 victory over the Rockets with 39 points (10-26 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 18-22 FT), 12 rebounds, eight assists and one steal across 41 minutes.

It seems no team in the league can stop Doncic, and the star guard continues to rack up stats and dominate opposing defenses every time he steps on the court. He's now scored at least 30 points in six games in a row while reaching the 50-point plateau thrice in that span, but he also has two double-doubles and two triple-doubles in that stretch. He's averaging a robust 43.4 points, 12.0 rebounds, 9.8 assists and 2.0 steals per game since Christmas Day.

Doncic logged 51 points (18-29 FG, 6-10 3Pt, 9-15 FT), six rebounds, nine assists, one block and four steals across 37 minutes during Saturday's 126-125 victory over the Spurs.

Doncic had one of the best weeks of any player in league history, topping the 30-point mark in each of those contests and reaching the 50-point mark twice in that span. In fact, he's now posted 50 or more points in three of his last five contests, racking up two triple-doubles and one double-double in that span. It's getting harder and harder to mention adjectives for Doncic's recent performances, and he's making a statement right now as the best player in the entire Association.

Doncic (ankle) is available for Saturday's game against the Spurs.

Doncic was probable ahead of Saturday's matchup due to his ankle issue, so his availability wasn't expected to be a concern. He'll attempt to stay dominant against San Antonio after he averaged 40.4 points, 11.8 rebounds, 10.4 assists and 2.2 steals in 39.8 minutes per game over his last five appearances.

Doncic is probable for Saturday's game against the Spurs due to left ankle soreness.

Doncic has been on a tear recently, averaging 40.4 points, 11.8 rebounds, 10.4 assists and 2.2 steals in 39.8 minutes per game over his last five appearances. Although he's dealing with an ankle issue, it seems likely that he'll be available against San Antonio.

Doncic finished with a career-high and Dallas franchise-record 60 points (21-31 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 16-22 FT), 21 rebounds, 10 assists, two steals and one block across 47 minutes in Tuesday's 126-121 overtime win over the Knicks.

Though triple-doubles are nothing new for Doncic, the one he delivered Tuesday was of historic proportions; no player in NBA history had previously eclipsed 60 points, 20 boards and 10 assists in a single game. In addition to the career-high scoring haul, Doncic also set a personal-best mark in rebounds, and he supplemented that production with defensive stats and elite shooting from the field. In points leagues, Doncic is the top-ranked performer on a per-game basis by a wide margin, and he's increased his value in category leagues in 2022-23 compared to previous years thanks to a major improvement in field-goal percentage (career-high 50.6 percent on 22.5 attempts per game).

Doncic posted 32 points (9-16 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 12-16 FT), nine assists, nine rebounds and two steals across 39 minutes in Sunday's 124-115 win over the Lakers.

Doncic endured a slow start in this one since the Lakers double-teamed him often, but he still found a way to get it done and finished with 30-plus points for the sixth time over his last eight appearances while also ending just one rebound and one assist shy of a triple-double. Doncic can struggle with efficiency at times, but the star guard is firmly entrenched as a top fantasy asset regardless of the format and is among the league leaders in several offensive categories such as scoring and usage rate, just to name two.

Doncic logged 50 points (17-30 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 10-12 FT), eight rebounds, 10 assists and three steals over 42 minutes during Friday's 112-106 win over Houston.

Doncic took advantage of a Rockets team that ranks among the worst defensively in the NBA, pouring in a season-high mark in the scoring column en route to a 50-point double-double. The only blemish on his line Friday was a season-high seven turnovers, but those can certainly be forgiven by his scoring output, including six made three-point shots and another near triple-double. Doncic remains one of the premier talents in the NBA and fantasy, and that's unlikely to change anytime soon.

Doncic recorded 25 points (8-16 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 8-9 FT), nine rebounds, 10 assists and three steals in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 104-99 victory over the Timberwolves.

Doncic didn't have his best night from deep, but he managed to lead his team with 25 points on 50.0 percent shooting from the field. The star point guard continues to put on a show in December and is now posting 29.8 points, 7.2 rebounds, 8.8 assists and 1.2 steals through 10 appearances this month.

Doncic was ejected from Monday's game against the Timberwolves, Bally Sports Southwest reports.

Doncic was tossed from the contest in the third quarter after arguing with an official about a non-foul call. His night will come to an end after collecting 19 points (5-17 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 28 minutes.

Doncic (quadriceps) is available for Monday's matchup in Minnesota.

Doncic sat out Saturday's one-point loss to Cleveland due to a right quad strain and was initially listed as questionable for Monday. However, after participating in shootaround, the team officially upgraded the superstar point guard to available. It's likely safe to assume Doncic won't be limited at all, so expect him to play his usual 30-40 minutes. Across 27 appearances, Doncic is averaging 33.0 points, 8.3 rebounds, 8.7 assists and 1.6 steals.

Doncic (quadriceps) is questionable for Monday's matchup against Minnesota.

Doncic didn't suit up Saturday due to a right quad strain, but he'll have a chance to return Monday. Davis Bertans (illness), Tim Hardaway (illness) and Dwight Powell (thigh) are all considered questionable, but the Mavericks are expected to get Spencer Dinwiddie back following a one-game absence due to rest.

Doncic will not play in Saturday's game versus the Cavaliers due to a right quad strain.

Doncic's absence will leave the biggest of possible gashes in the backcourt, and it hurts even more with Spencer Dinwiddie also sitting out. It seems likely this is a planned off day for the pair in the second game of a back-to-back set, but Doncic's absence may open starting duties at point guard for Kemba Walker. It will still be worth monitoring Doncic's status on the injury report ahead of Monday's game versus the Timberwolves to ensure there is nothing more to his absence Saturday.

Doncic finished with 33 points (11-18 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds and nine assists over 29 minutes during Friday's 130-110 victory over Portland.

Doncic once again topped 30 points, the eighth time he's done so in the last nine games. He came up just one assist shy of a double-double, knocked five shots from beyond the arc, and had an efficient shooting night overall. The only thing missing was the defensive stats. The 23-year-old guard's 33.0 points per game is good for second in the league, trailing only Joel Embiid's 33.3 points per game.

Doncic totaled 30 points (9-23 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 10-11 FT), five rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal over 39 minutes during Wednesday's 105-90 loss to the Cavaliers.

Doncic finished with 30-plus points for the third straight contest, though he struggled with a 9-for-23 mark from the field, including a 2-of-8 effort from deep. While his complementary stats were useful, his six assists were his lowest since Nov. 15, and his five boards were well below his season average of 8.4. Doncic also committed five turnovers in the loss, pushing his average in that category to 3.6 per game, sixth-most in the NBA.

Doncic supplied 38 points (13-27 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 9-10 FT), 11 rebounds and eight assists over 37 minutes during Monday's 121-114 win over the Thunder.

Doncic picked right up where he left off, carrying the Mavericks to a much-needed victory over a tenacious Thunder team. After taking the night off in their last game, Doncic showed no signs of rust, even connecting on 9-of-10 from the free throw line. The Mavericks will need Doncic firing on all cylinders on a nightly basis if they hope to press for a high playoff seed, meaning his value is all but locked in ROS.

Doncic (quadriceps) is available for Monday's matchup against the Thunder.

As expected, Doncic, who was listed as probable with a quadriceps injury, will suit up Monday against Oklahoma City after sitting out Saturday's loss to Chicago. Over his past 11 appearances, Doncic has averaged 31.1 points, 9.9 assists, 8.0 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 36.5 minutes per game.

Doncic (quadriceps) is probable for Monday's game against the Thunder.

The 23-year-old sat out Saturday's matchup with the Bulls due to a strained right quadriceps, but his absence is expected to be limited to one game. Doncic averaged 30.6 points, 7.0 rebounds, 9.6 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.2 blocks in the five games preceding his absence.

Doncic will not play in Saturday's game against the Bulls due to a right quadricep strain.

The Mavericks will opt to err on the side of caution with Doncic on the second night of a back-to-back set that included travel. In his absence, the likes of Spencer Dinwiddie, Reggie Bullock and Tim Hardaway all figure to see increased roles. Also, Kemba Walker may make his debut with the team. Doncic's next chance to suit up will come Monday against the Thunder.

Doncic finished Friday's 106-105 loss to Milwaukee with 33 points (13-28 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 4-10 FT), six rebounds, 11 assists and two steals in 37 minutes.

Despite a stellar night of scoring, Doncic was a major contributor to a woeful night from the charity stripe for the Mavericks, a deficiency that cost them the game in the final minutes. It's very rare to see Doncic run this cold from the line. He's never logged a season with a free-throw conversion rate below 71 percent.

Doncic closed with 33 points (12-20 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 5-7 FT), six rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and one steal in 29 minutes during Monday's 130-111 victory over Phoenix.

Doncic shot the ball well from the field and has now drained four or more triples in each of his last four matchups. It's no surprise that he's also finished with 30 or more points in each game, recording one triple-double and one double-double over this stretch. Doncic has also managed to log fewer minutes in back-to-back contests with the Mavs cruising to a pair of impressive victories.

Doncic registered 30 points (11-21 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists, three blocks and one steal across 29 minutes during Saturday's 121-100 win over the Knicks.

Doncic reached the 30-point mark for the third straight game, and while he couldn't extend his double-double (or better) streak to four contests, he still delivered another elite stat line in a game where he was the focal point of the offense once again. The star guard has been on fire to start the season and has yet to score fewer than 20 points in any game, and he's also dished out eight or more dimes in eight appearances in a row.

Doncic posted 35 points (13-25 FG, 7-14 3Pt, 2-6 FT), five rebounds, 10 assists and three steals over 41 minutes during Thursday's 131-125 overtime loss to the Pistons.

Doncic posted his third consecutive double-double in the losing effort, leading the team in scoring, assists and steals while posting a season-high seven threes. Doncic has scored 35 or more points with 10 or more assists three times this season.

Doncic posted 41 points (14-27 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 9-15 FT), 12 rebounds, 12 assists, one block and four steals in 39 minutes during Tuesday's 116-113 win over Golden State.

Doncic continued his MVP-caliber season Tuesday, carrying the Mavericks to an impressive win over the Warriors. Not only was it his fifth triple-double of the season, but he also chipped in a season-high four steals. Unfortunately, his free throw issues continued, going 9-of-15 from the line. After a strong start to the season, he has now shot under 70 percent from the line in six straight games.

Doncic closed with 27 points (10-20 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-9 FT), five rebounds and 12 assists over 35 minutes during Sunday's 124-115 loss to the Bucks.

Doncic recorded another double-double, and the star floor general continues to display why he's among the best offensive players in the league with another impressive performance. Doncic has scored more than 20 points in every one of his games in November, but he's doing more than just scoring since he also averages 8.3 rebounds and 8.3 assists per contest in that span.

Doncic ended with 24 points (8-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-9 FT), seven rebounds, nine assists, one block and two steals in 43 minutes during Saturday's 105-100 loss to Toronto.

Doncic got off just five shots in the first half, making three of them, along with four of five free-throw attempts for 11 points. He was more aggressive over the final two quarters, finishing with 13 second-half points on 5-of-10 shooting from the field while dishing out a game-high nine assists, though his effort would fall short as the Mavericks lost their fourth straight road game. It was Doncic's fourth straight game with at least 20 points, seven rebounds and seven assists.

Doncic recorded 42 points (17-28 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-9 FT), eight rebounds and nine assists in 40 minutes during Wednesday's 125-112 loss to the Celtics.

Doncic posted a strong all-around showing, as he also made an impact on the glass and by finding his teammates for buckets. The star point guard failed to record a steal for the first time this season after doing so in each of his first 15 games, but he made up for it with his outstanding scoring night. Doncic has put up 42 points in two of his last five matchups.

Doncic logged 33 points (11-22 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 9-11 FT), 12 rebounds, 11 assists and one steal across 35 minutes during Friday's 127-99 win over the Nuggets.

Doncic was a man amongst men as the Mavericks dismantled the Nuggets on Friday, casually dropping the 50th triple-double of his young career. There is simply very little that needs to be said when it comes to his ability on a basketball court. He is certainly in the early-season discussion when it comes to the MVP, both in fantasy and reality. With nothing more to dwell upon, just sit back and enjoy the ride.

Doncic has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Rockets for rest purposes.

Doncic has been on a tear over the last two matchups, averaging 38.5 points, 12.0 rebounds and 7.5 assists in 39.0 minutes per game. The 23-year-old had appeared in each of the Mavericks' first 13 games of the season but will get a breather Wednesday. Spencer Dinwiddie and Tim Hardaway are candidates to handle increased roles against Houston, while Doncic should be back in action Friday against the Nuggets.

Doncic ended Tuesday's 103-101 victory over the Clippers with 35 points (11-22 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 11-11 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists and three steals over 40 minutes.

Doncic looked sharp shooting the basketball and also secured his second consecutive double-double by crashing the glass. He's been a rebounding machine of late, racking up 11, 13 and nine boards in his last three contests, respectively. Doncic also continues to show off his quick hands by swiping two or more steals in seven straight games.

Doncic recorded 42 points (13-22 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 15-18 FT), 13 rebounds, 10 assists, one block and two steals over 38 minutes during Saturday's 117-112 victory over Portland.

Doncic continues to be the best DFS producer in the league, and although his historic run of 30-plus points to open a season has ended, the prolific stat lines will be a constant for the Mavericks as well as fantasy managers who are lucky enough to have his services.

Doncic logged 22 points (8-21 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 3-9 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and two steals in 39 minutes during Thursday's 113-105 loss to the Wizards.

Doncic knocked down only three shots in the first half for seven points while also going 1-of-5 at the free-throw line. He was a bit more aggressive in the second half, hitting five of 12 shots for 15 points, though he fished out just two assists in the final two quarters as Dallas took their second-straight loss on the road. Doncic has scored under 25 points each of his last two games after scoring 30 or more in his first nine games to begin the season while also going just 7-of-16 from the foul line over that stretch.

Doncic compiled 24 points (9-29 FG, 2-11 3Pt, 4-7 FT), six rebounds, six assists, three steals and two blocks in Wednesday's 94-87 loss in Orlando.

Doncic took 13 shots in the first quarter -- making five -- and scoring 12 points. His shooting only got worse as the game continued as he went 3-for-13 from the field and 0-for-5 from three-point range in the second half. The 23-year-old made at least half of his shots in seven of the season's first nine contest and has converted 49.8 percent of his tries for the season even after the off night.

Doncic recorded 36 points (11-22 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 9-12 FT), six rebounds, six assists, one block and two steals in 38 minutes during Monday's 96-94 victory over the Nets.

Doncic joined Wilt Chamberlain as the only players in NBA history to record nine consecutive 30-point games. This incredible feat has resulted in ridiculous averages for the All-Star. Through nine games, he is averaging 36 points, 8.4 rebounds, 8.3 assists and 1.9 steals.

Doncic closed Friday's 111-110 victory over the Raptors with 35 points (10-15 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 12-14 FT), eight rebounds, six assists, one block and three steals in 37 minutes.

Doncic has now scored 30-plus points in the first eight contests of the season -- the second-longest streak to open a season since Wilt Chamberlain in 1962 (23 games). Additionally, Doncic connected on a season-high three triples. The 23-year-old has been dominant to start the campaign.

Doncic contributed 33 points (12-20 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 7-10 FT), five rebounds, 11 assists and two steals over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 103-100 victory over the Jazz.

Another game, another 30-point performance for Doncic, and the Slovenian guard made history -- he joined Wilt Chamberlain as the only two players in NBA history to start a season with seven straight games with at least 30 points, a mark that was alive since 1962-63. Scoring numbers aside, there's a strong argument to say Doncic has been the best player in The Association through the first seven contests of the regular season. He has three double-doubles and two triple-doubles over that span while delivering elite numbers across the board. He's averaging 36.1 points, 9.0 assists, 8.9 rebounds and 1.7 steals per game while shooting 51.4 percent from the field. His lone blemish could be his inefficiency from three-point range, as he's made just 23.7 percent of his long-range attempts.

Doncic accumulated 44 points (17-26 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 8-14 FT), three rebounds, five assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Sunday's 114-105 win over Orlando.

Doncic couldn't record a third consecutive triple-double and his streak of four games with at least a double-double got snapped here, but even if he didn't do much in terms of filling out the stat sheet, he posted his best scoring output of the campaign. Doncic has started the season on fire and has scored at least 30 points in every game to date.

Doncic racked up 31 points (8-23 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 15-19 FT), 16 rebounds, 10 assists and one steal across 40 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 117-111 overtime loss to the Thunder.

Doncic hit a triple-double for a second consecutive game, but it ultimately wasn't enough to snag a victory from the Thunder. There is no one currently hotter in the NBA than Doncic, who has scored over 20 points in al five of his court appearances.

Doncic amassed 41 points (14-28 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 11-13 FT), 11 rebounds, 14 assists and three steals in 40 minutes during Thursday's 129-125 overtime victory over Brooklyn.

The star guard only needed four games to record his first triple-double of the season, but that wasn't surprising since he was coming off two straight double-doubles and an impressive stat-filling opener in the first game of the campaign. Doncic has started the season on fire and has scored at least 32 points in each of his first four contests.

Doncic finished Saturday's 137-96 victory over the Grizzlies with 32 points (12-23 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds, 10 assists, two blocks and two steals over 30 minutes.

Doncic took control of the game early, torching the Mavericks to the tune of 23 first-quarter points. While he did end with a magnificent fantasy line, the fact the game was basically done by halftime meant his playing time was reduced. It's been a frantic start to the season for Doncic, repaying the faith to those who snapped him up early in drafts. In what is obviously a small sample size, Doncic has thus far shot well from the free throw line. If he can maintain an improved stroke, he could very well be in the running for the number one overall player this season.

Doncic registered 35 points (10-23 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 13-13 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and one steal in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 107-105 loss to the Suns.

Doncic was up to his usual antics in the narrow loss, posting a spectacular line He's a consistent feast for the eyes of fantasy managers, as Doncic rarely disappoints. His total would have been even more massive if his three-point shot had been solid, and it may have made the difference in a game that Dallas controlled until the fourth quarter.

Doncic totaled 24 points (9-18 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 4-6 FT), five assists, three rebounds, two steals and two blocked shots over 30 minutes Friday in a win over Utah.

Doncic struggled from beyond the arc but made seven of nine field-goal attempts from two-point range. The star point guard also led the Mavs with five assists and contributed a pair of blocks and steals on the defensive end. Dallas opted to rest Doncic through most of the preseason, as he played in only two exhibition games. However, he'll be a full-go for the team's regular-season opener and figures to be among fantasy's most productive players again this season.

Doncic will start in Friday's preseason matchup with the Magic, Eddie Sefko of the Mavericks' official site reports.

Doncic will play his normal rotation minutes in the first half only. The Mavericks are likely looking to get Doncic back in rhythm, while ensuring he enters the regular season healthy.

Mavericks coach Jason Kidd said that Doncic (rest) will likely play in Friday's preseason game versus the Magic, Callie Caplan of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Doncic missed Wednesday's preseason opener versus the Thunder due to rest. However, it does not appear that Doncic will miss any regular season action, and was just going through typical preseason load management.

Doncic (rest) isn't expected to take the floor during Wednesday's preseason opener versus the Thunder, Nick Crain of SI.com reports.

Doncic is expected to sit some during the preseason to rest up after spending his summer playing for Slovenia in the Eurobasket tournament. It's unclear if or how much we will see him in preseason action, but, assuming he sits as expected, Doncic's next chance to take the floor would surface Friday against the Magic.

Head coach Jason Kidd relayed Tuesday that Doncic will likely sit out the first preseason game or two, Callie Caplan of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Doncic took little time off during the summer, playing for his native Slovenia during Eurobasket. He will instead likely rest up early in the preseason to ensure his batteries are charged for the start of the regular season Oct. 19 versus the Suns. If he sits out the first two exhibitions, Doncic could get a single warm-up game under his belt Oct. 14 versus the Jazz before regular-season play opens.

Doncic supplied 28 points (10-28 FG, 3-13 3Pt, 5-7 FT), nine rebounds, six assists and one steal in 40 minutes during Thursday's 120-110 loss to the Warriors in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals.

Doncic struggled throughout the first half, but he led a feverish comeback late in the third quarter. However, the All-Star's production wasn't enough as the Warriors advanced to the Finals on the back of a balanced offensive attack. Doncic averaged 32.0 points, 9.2 rebounds, 6.0 assists, 1.6 steals and 1.0 blocks during the five-game series, but he shot just 41.5 percent from the field. At just 23-years-old, the Slovenian superstar's run to the Western Conference Finals is certainly special, but his struggles against Golden State proved that Doncic and the Mavericks still have a lot of work to do before reaching their championship aspirations.

Doncic provided 30 points (10-26 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 7-10 FT), 14 rebounds, nine assists, two blocks and two steals across 38 minutes during Tuesday's 119-109 win over Golden State in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals.

Doncic needed a huge performance to keep the Mavericks alive in the series and did exactly that, as he ended just one assist shy of a triple-double while also reaching the 30-point plateau for the third straight game -- and for the fifth time in his last six appearances. The Slovenian has been one of the best offensive players in the league during the current postseason run and is averaging 31.9 points per game while shooting 46.3 percent from the field.

Doncic was named to the All-NBA First Team on Tuesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Doncic and the Mavericks are down 3-0 to the Warriors amid the news, with the young star looking to avoid a sweep for the first time in his career. The 23-year-old finished the regular season with averages of 28.4 points, 9.1 rebounds, 8.7 assists and 1.2 steals in 35.4 minutes across 65 appearances. It's his third consecutive All-NBA First Team selection, and he also finished fifth in MVP voting.

Doncic totaled 40 points (11-23 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 14-17 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal over 40 minutes during Sunday's 109-100 loss to the Warriors in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals.

For the second time in three nights, the Mvas came up short despite a herculean individual effort from their best player. In Game 2, Doncic finished with 42 points, eight assists and vie boards while going 13-of-15 at the line. He fell just short of that point total Sunday but was able to work his way to the line a playoff-career-high 17 times in 40 minutes. Doncic, Jalen Brunson (20 points) and Spencer Dinwiddie (26 points) were the lone bright spots for the Mavs on a night when Reggie Bullock (0-7 3Pt), Maxi Kleber (0-5 3Pt) and Davis Bertans (0-2 3Pt) combined for just two points on 1-of-18 shooting. With their backs against the wall down three games to none, the Mavs will look to extend the series in Game 4 on Tuesday night.

Doncic provided 42 points (12-23 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 13-15 FT), five rebounds, eight assists, one block and three steals across 38 minutes during Friday's 126-117 loss to the Warriors in Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals.

Doncic didn't have his best performance in Game 1 of the series, but as it has been the trend in the few games in which he's struggled, he bounced back admirably and carried Dallas to victory as the Mavericks evened things up with the two upcoming games on their home floor. This was Doncic's seventh game with at least 30 points during the current postseason run.

Doncic supplied 20 points (6-18 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 5-8 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Wednesday's 112-87 loss to Golden State in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals.

Doncic was dominant against in the Suns in the second-round playoff matchup, but he found the going much more difficult in Game 1 against Golden State. The All-Star point guard finished with his lowest scoring output of the postseason and turned the ball over seven times in 35 minutes. Doncic will clearly need to be better for Dallas to pull out the series, but his outstanding play in the playoffs thus far suggests that better performances lie ahead of him.

Doncic logged 35 points (12-19 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and two steals over 30 minutes during Sunday's 123-90 win over the Suns in Game 7 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

Doncic led the Mavs to a 10-point first-quarter advantage, and Dallas never looked back, leading by as much as 46 points in a game that quickly got away from the top-seeded Suns. For Doncic, Sunday's masterpiece was the final touch on a fantastic all-around series that saw him score at least 26 points in all seven games. He led the Mavericks in points, rebounds, assists, steals and threes for the series. The 23-year-old superstar will have a pair of off days before Dallas heads to San Francisco for Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals against Golden State on Wednesday night.

Doncic finished with 28 points (10-23 FG, 2-8 3PT, 6-7 FT), 11 rebounds, three steals and two assists in a 110-80 loss to Phoenix on Tuesday.

Doncic is on an impressive streak of 17 straight games of 24-plus points, but after dishing seven-plus assists in each of his last five games, he only found his teammates twice for baskets. The three-time All-Star will look to turn things around for Dallas in a must-win Game 6.

Doncic produced 26 points (9-25 FG, 1-10 3Pt, 7-8 FT), seven rebounds, 11 assists and three steals across 37 minutes during Sunday's 111-101 win over Phoenix.

Doncic struggled from distance but was still able to score 26 points for a second consecutive matchup. The All-Star point guard also dished out double-digit assists and registered three steals for the first time during the postseason. Through the first four games of the second-round series, Doncic has averaged 33.0 points, 9.3 rebounds and 8.8 assists. He'll look to continue his stellar play during Game 5 in Phoenix.

Doncic chipped in 26 points (11-25 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-5 FT), 13 rebounds, nine assists and two steals across 34 minutes during Friday's 103-94 win over the Suns.

Doncic ended just one assist away from posting a triple-double and continues to shine on both ends of the court. Since returning from a three-game absence during the first-round series against the Jazz, Doncic is averaging 32.2 points, 10.3 rebounds, 6.8 assists and 1.2 steals per game across his last six appearances.

Doncic logged 35 points (13-22 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 129-109 loss to the Suns.

Doncic was again a one-man show for Dallas on Wednesday, pacing the team in scoring and assists while tying for the lead in rebounds. His heavy usage has come with plenty of efficiency, as the point guard went 13-for-22 from the field in Game 2 and is shooting 50 percent in the playoffs thus far. He has put up postseason averages of 33.4 points, 9.8 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 4.0 three-pointers and 1.0 steals, but the Mavs are in a 2-0 hole against a more balanced Suns squad.

Doncic logged 45 points (15-30 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 11-14 FT), 12 rebounds, eight assists and one block in 44 minutes during Monday's 121-114 loss to the Suns.

Doncic was dynamic from the outset, scoring 14 points on 5-of-9 shooting in the first quarter. He never really slowed down, but he wasn't able to get enough help from his teammates to overcome a determined Phoenix effort. Doncic led Dallas in points, rebounds and assists as he fell two dimes shy of a triple-double, and the All-Star point guard converted half of his field-goal tries. He's clearly over the calf injury that cost him the first three games of Dallas' first-round series against Utah, but he'll likely need more contributions from the rest of the Mavericks' roster if Dallas hopes to advance past the second round.

Doncic produced 24 points (8-21 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists, two blocks and two steals over 42 minutes during Thursday's 98-96 win over the Jazz.

Doncic produced his lowest scoring output of the three games in the series in which he played, but he registered his highest assist total and made an impact on the defensive end with a pair of blocks and steals. He and Jalen Brunson each scored 24 points for Dallas, and two other Mavericks players scored at least 18. That type of scoring balance could be necessary in the team's next series, as Dallas will face off against Phoenix, who owned the NBA's top record during the regular season. Doncic played in only one game versus Phoenix during the regular season, putting up a 28/8/8 line but shooting just 9-for-23 from the field in a Jan. 20 loss.

Doncic amassed 33 points (11-22 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 8-12 FT), 13 rebounds, five assists and one block in 33 minutes during Monday's 102-77 win over the Jazz.

Doncic worked more as a scorer than as a distributor in the contest, leading all players with 33 points on 22 field-goal attempts. His five dimes were well below his season average but still enough to lead his club. The All-Star point guard also grabbed a game-high 13 boards to help Dallas go up 3-2 in the series. Doncic missed the first three games of the first-round matchup due to a calf injury, but he has looked great upon his return, averaging 31.5 points, 11.5 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 3.5 three-pointers over two contests.

Doncic ended Saturday's 100-99 loss to Utah with 30 points (11-21 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and two steals across 34 minutes.

After missing the first three games of the series due to a calf injury, Doncic saw his regular workload and led the Mavericks in scoring, but he couldn't lead them to a win. He came out of the game without any concerns about the injury, so expect Doncic to be in top form Monday as the series, now tied 2-2, shifts back to Dallas for Game 5.

Doncic (calf) will be available for Saturday's Game 4 at Utah on a minutes limit.

Whether Doncic starts or comes off the bench, he's not expected to see a full workload after last playing April 10 -- the final regular-season game. His return, eventually to a full workload, will affect Jalen Brunson and Spencer Dinwiddie's usage, though both have played so well that it may be difficult to justify a massive decrease in minutes.

Doncic (calf) is expected to be cleared for the Mavericks' Game 4 matchup versus the Jazz following one last pre-game check, NBA writer Marc Stein reports.

This is not a big surprise, as Doncic has seemingly been trending in this direction. He will likely be on a minutes restriction, but it is unclear what that will look like. His return will mean Jalen Brunson, who has excelled in his absence, and Spencer Dinwiddie will presumably see less on-the-ball usage compared to the first three games of the series.

Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd said Doncic (calf) will go through a full practice Friday and will be a game-time decision ahead of Saturday's Game 4 in Utah, Eric Walden of The Salt Lake Tribune reports.

Kidd said the Mavericks remain "optimistic" that Doncic will be available and added that Dallas' current 2-1 lead in the series won't impact the decision on the All-Star's availability, per Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com. This isn't necessarily a new development, as NBA writer Marc Stein reported the Mavericks were expecting Doncic to return for Game 4 ahead of Thursday Game 3's win, but it's still encouraging to hear that Doncic is still on track to make a return after increasing his practice regime without setbacks.

Doncic (calf) has been ruled out for Thursday's Game 3 against the Jazz, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Although Doncic said he was "feeling great" after taking part in individual drills following Thursday's shootaround, the Mavericks were pessimistic that he'd be able to play in Game 3. The point guard will officially be held out for a third consecutive playoff game, which should lead to increased roles for Spencer Dinwiddie and Jalen Brunson once again.

The Mavericks are pessimistic that Doncic (calf) will be able to play in Thursday's Game 3 against the Jazz, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Doncic is officially questionable and is slated to test things out as a game-time decision ahead of Thursday's tilt. The 23-year-old took part in individual drills following Thursday's shootaround that included running, ballhandling and shooting, and he felt good afterward. However, it appears as though Doncic will be unavailable for a third consecutive game to begin the postseason.

Doncic (calf) is questionable for Thursday's Game 3 against the Jazz.

The Mavericks pulled off a Game 2 upset, giving Doncic some breathing room for a later return. Still, as of this most recent update, Doncic is a 50/50 shot to return for the first road game of the series. His status will presumably come down to a game-time call, and he could be on a minutes limit if deemed available.

Doncic said Wednesday that he's "feeling good" but still isn't certain if he will play in Thursday's Game 3 against the Jazz, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

Doncic added, "if there's no risk of [further] injury, i'll be out there," per NBA writer Marc Stein. After dropping Game 1 on Saturday, the Mavericks were able to steal Game 2 behind a stellar performance by Jalen Brunson. The good news kept coming for Dallas after its victory, as rumors started to spread that the superstar point guard was ramping up his rehab and could be nearing a return to action. If Dallas plays it safe and holds Doncic out for Game 3, then he would likely be on course for a return to the lineup Saturday, though it's possible he'll be limited whenever he's back in the lineup.

Doncic (calf) is making progress and the Mavs are optimistic that he could return for Thursday's Game 3 or Saturday's Game 4 at Utah, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

After dropping Game 1 on Saturday, the Mavs were able to steal Game 2 behind a monster performance by Jalen Brunson. With the series now heading to Utah even at 1-1, there may be a bit less pressure for Doncic to return for Game 3, but the Mavs haven't ruled out that possibility. Charania notes that Doncic will go through workouts Tuesday and Wednesday, and how his strained left calf responds will ultimately determine his Game 3 status. If Dallas plays it safe and holds him out, then Doncic would likely be on course for a return to the lineup Saturday night.

Doncic (calf) will not play in Monday's Game 2 against Utah, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reports.

Doncic was technically listed as doubtful coming into the day, but there was never truly much hope that he'd be available for Game 2. The Mavs will continue to handle his status on a game-to-game basis as the series shifts to Salt Lake City for Game 3 on Thursday. Until further notice, consider Doncic optimistically questionable for that contest.

Dallas lists Doncic (calf) as doubtful Monday for Game 2 of the Mavericks' first-round playoff series with the Jazz.

According to Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com, head coach Jason Kidd said that Doncic was able to go through some light shooting drills Sunday for the second day in a row, but the superstar guard doesn't seem to have made enough progress in his recovery from the strained left calf to give it a go in Game 2. Per Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, the Mavericks remain reluctant to officially rule Doncic out for a second straight game, but the 23-year-old would need to exhibit significant improvement in the next 24 hours to be a realistic option to play. Spencer Dinwiddie picked up a start in Doncic's stead in the Mavericks' 99-93 loss in Game 1 and would likely stick with the top unit again Monday if Doncic is ultimately ruled out.

There is significant concern regarding Doncic's (hamstring) availability for Monday's Game 2 against the Jazz, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. Doncic was ruled out for Saturday's Game 1 on Thursday.

Wojnarowski notes that the Mavericks are playing the "long game" regarding the star's injury -- an indication there's no internal pressure to force Doncic on the court to risk further injury. As long as Doncic misses games in the series, Jalen Brunson and Spencer Dinwiddie will function as the playmaking hubs.

Doncic (calf) is expected to be out for Game 1 of the opening round of the playoffs against the Jazz on Saturday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

This is obviously a huge hit for Dallas, who is run almost entirely through Doncic. His status will presumably be taken on a game-to-game basis, so there's still a chance he'll at least be fine for Game 2. In his absence, Jalen Brunson and Spencer Dinwiddie will presumably take over almost all of the playmaking duties.

Doncic (calf) has begun receiving treatment on his strained left calf, but he is without a firm return timetable.

The update is really a cryptic, non-update from the Mavs, who may be employing some gamesmanship as their first-round playoff series against the Jazz is set to begin Saturday afternoon. The calf injury could certainly place Doncic's status in jeopardy for Game 1, but we likely won't receive a definitive update until later in the week. If Doncic were to miss any games, Jalen Brunson and Spencer Dinwiddie would be thrust into duty as the Mavs' top offensive options.

After undergoing an MRI on Monday, Dallas confirmed that Doncic is dealing with a left calf strain and is without a timetable for a return, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

The team has yet to reveal the severity of the strain, and it's unknown whether he'll be ready to take the floor Saturday against Utah. Expect updates on his status on tipoff approaches. If Doncic is unable to go, it'll be up to Spencer Dinwiddie, Jalen Brunson and Frank Ntilikina (illness) to man the backcourt

Doncic (calf) will get an MRI on the strained left calf he suffered Sunday against the Spurs, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

Doncic exited Sunday's win over the Spurs during the third quarter and was quickly ruled out for the remainder of the contest due to a strained left calf. The MRI he receives Monday afternoon will help determine the severity of the strain, as well as whether the injury will affect Doncic' status ahead of Round 1 of the NBA playoffs next weekend. Until the results from the MRI are known, however, he should still be considered day-to-day for the time being.

Doncic departed Sunday night's game against the Spurs with a strained left calf and will not return, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

The Mavs elected to play their usual starters Sunday and Doncic logged 29 minutes of action before exiting late in the third quarter. Prior to departing, he posted 26 points, nine assists, eight rebounds, two steals and a block. While ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski relays that the Mavs are optimistic Doncic did not suffer a serious injury, the timing could not be worse with the 16-team playoffs set to begin next weekend. For now, Doncic should be considered day-to-day ahead of Round 1, which will tip off for the Mavs either Saturday or Sunday.

Doncic had his 16th technical foul from Friday's game rescinded, so he'll be available for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Spurs on Sunday, Mark Followill of Bally Sports Southwest reports.

Collecting 16 technical fouls results in an automatic suspension, but the league office decided the call wasn't warranted. In four April appearances, Doncic has averaged 33.3 points, 10.5 assists, 8.5 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 34.8 minutes.

Doncic ended with 39 points (12-21 FG, 7-14 3Pt, 8-11 FT), 11 rebounds, seven assists and one block over 30 minutes during Friday's 128-78 win over the Trail Blazers.

Doncic scored 30-plus points for the sixth time over his last seven appearances and registered his sixth double-double over that stretch. However, the superstar point guard's temper got the best of him during the contest and was given his 16th technical of the season, which means -- barring the NBA office rescinding the call -- Doncic will be suspended for the final game of the regular season.

Doncic contributed 32 points (9-22 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 11-14 FT), eight rebounds, 15 assists and three steals across 39 minutes during Sunday's 118-112 win over Milwaukee.

Doncic helped his squad erase a fourth-quarter deficit to come away with the win. The Bucks attempted to contain Doncic with the occasional double-team of Jrue Holiday and Khris Middleton, but Doncic was still able to take shots or deal it inside to Dwight Powell. Although the Mavs are 1-2 over their past three games, Doncic's production is through the roof, with five consecutive games of 32 points or more.

Doncic posted 36 points (11-22 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 10-10 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and one block over 36 minutes during Friday's 135-103 loss to Washington.

Doncic had posted double-doubles in each of his last five appearances and fell just short of that mark Friday, but he still put up a well-rounded performance in the blowout loss. He's now topped 30 points in each of his last four appearances and has averaged 34.3 points, 9.5 rebounds and 9.0 assists in 34.3 minutes per game during that time.

Doncic produced 35 points (14-26 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, 13 assists, two blocks and one steal over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 120-112 victory over the Cavaliers.

Doncic dominated across all facets of the floor and nearly came away with his second straight triple-double performance. Although finishing just one rebound shy of accomplishing the feat, the guard, nevertheless, tallied his fourth consecutive double-double while leading the Mavericks in scoring, rebounding and passing. It was also Doncic's fourth straight game scoring at least 32 points and grabbing at least 10 rebounds.

Doncic finished with 34 points (12-23 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 12 rebounds, 12 assists and one steal across 30 minutes in Tuesday's 128-110 win over the Lakers.

Doncic needed only three quarters of play to record a 30-point triple-double, marking the fourth time in his career he's achieved that feat. He supplemented the big counting stats production with quality shooting from the free-throw line, something that isn't always the case in Doncic's big performances. His 73.4 percent mark from the line on 7.3 attempts per game for the season makes him a major negative in that category, which is the primary reason why his fantasy value in rotisserie formats in lower than the likes of Nikola Jokic, Joel Embiid and James Harden, among others.

Doncic posted 32 points (11-21 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 6-9 FT), 10 rebounds and five assists across 33 minutes during Sunday's 114-100 victory over the Jazz.

The double-double was Doncic's third straight, while he dropped at least 30 points for the ninth time in his last 15 games. The 23-year-old superstar is averaging 30.4 points, 9.4 boards, 7.0 assists, 4.1 threes and 1.1 steals over that stretch, and Doncic's surge has led the Mavericks to fourth place in the Western Conference -- which would give them home-court advantage in a potential first-round matchup against this same Jazz squad.

Doncic supplied 24 points (8-18 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 10 rebounds, eight assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Friday's 116-95 loss to the Timberwolves.

Doncic missed Wednesday's contest against Houston due to an ankle injury, but there didn't appear to be any lingering effects of the issue, as the MVP candidate led the Mavericks in points, rebounds and assists during Friday's loss. Across 11 contests in March, Doncic has averaged 28.9 points, 8.9 rebounds, 7.2 assists and 1.3 steals in 36.7 minutes per game. He'll look to maintain his strong play Sunday against the Jazz.

Doncic (ankle) is not on the injury report for Friday's game at Minnesota.

After missing Wednesday's game against Houston, Doncic will return to action Friday at Minnesota as the Mavs look to continue their strong second half. It's unclear if the ankle issue is something worth keeping an eye on, or if the Mavs were simply building in a rest day against a tanking opponent in Houston.

Doncic (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against the Rockets.

Doncic posted just 15 points (5-17 FG, 3-11 3PT, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, 10 assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Monday's win over Minnesota, and he apparently picked up an ankle injury that'll sidelined him for at least one contest as well. In his absence, Spencer Dinwiddie will likely enter the starting lineup, while the likes of Frank Ntilikina, Trey Burke and Josh Green may see increased roles off the bench.

Doncic ended with 15 points (5-17 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, 10 assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Monday's 110-108 victory over Minnesota.

Doncic struggled as a shooter against the Timberwolves and finished with his lowest scoring output since a 15-point effort against Portland on Jan. 26. The All-Star point guard was nonetheless able to manage a useful fantasy line thanks to his 10 dimes and six boards. Despite the relatively modest performance, Doncic has had a strong month of March overall, averaging 29.4 points, 8.8 rebounds, 7.1 assists, 1.3 steals and 3.9 three-pointers.

Doncic logged 37 points (13-20 FG, 8-12 3Pt, 3-5 FT), four rebounds and three assists over 30 minutes during Saturday's 129-108 loss to the Hornets.

Those numbers came despite the fact Doncic sat out the entire fourth quarter with the game well out of reach for the Mavericks. The 23-year-old superstar has delivered at least 30 points in 13 of his 19 games since the beginning of February as he tries, sometimes nearly single-handedly, to keep Dallas in a playoff spot, averaging an incredible 32.9 points, 9.8 boards, 7.8 assists, 4.0 threes and 1.2 steals over that stretch.

Doncic produced 17 points (5-20 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 5-9 FT), seven rebounds, 10 assists and one block over 35 minutes during Friday's 111-101 loss to the 76ers.

Doncic didn't have his best performance and needed 20 shots just to score 17 points, but he supplied that lack of efficiency with solid all-around numbers as he ended just three boards shy of posting a triple-double. The star guard ended a streak of eight games with at least 25 points.

Doncic recorded 37 points (14-26 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, nine assists, two steals and one block during Wednesday's 113-111 win over Brooklyn.

Doncic helped engineer a 14-point comeback in the fourth quarter with his strong performance across all facets of the field including a game high offensively. The Slovenian was also one rebound and one assist shy of tallying his 10th triple-double this season, as Doncic led the Mavericks in both categories. Since returning from a toe injury March 7 against the Jazz, Doncic is averaging 31.8 points per contest.

Doncic closed Sunday's 95-92 victory over Boston with 26 points (8-16 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 6-6 FT), eight rebounds, eight assists and three steals across 39 minutes.

Doncic tweaked his hamstring in the first quarter and briefly went back to the Mavs' locker room, but he was cleared to return to the game and, as the 39 minutes of action indicate, did not face any limitations. Luckily, the Mavs have a pair of off days to begin Week 22, but Doncic's status will still be worth monitoring, as he could very well be dealing with some residual soreness.

Doncic (hamstring) returned to the bench after a brief trip to the locker room and is available to return to Sunday's game against the Celtics.

After grabbing at his left hamstring on several occasions in the first quarter, Doncic ultimately checked out of the game to receive treatment. He was sporting a noticeable limp upon returning to the Dallas bench after getting treatment in the locker room, so he may be operating at less than 100 percent health upon returning to the game. The hamstring issue could be something that results in Doncic appearing on the Mavericks' next few injury reports, though he'll at least benefit from Dallas having two full days off before its next game Wednesday in Brooklyn.

Doncic has gone back to the locker room after experiencing tightness in his right hamstring, Cassidy Hubbarth of ESPN reports.

Doncic tried to play through the issue at first, but he ultimately couldn't stay on the court and went straight to the locker room after being subbed out with under two minutes to play in the first quarter. If he's unable to return, Jalen Brunson and Spencer Dinwiddie are expected to handle the majority of the playmaking duties.

Doncic finished Friday's 113-100 victory over the Rockets with 30 points (9-19 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 7-10 FT), 14 rebounds, six assists and two blocks across 36 minutes.

Doncic came up huge in a new edition of his Texas-based rivalry, ending just four assists shy of a triple-double and also registering his fourth straight contest with at least 30 points. The star guard continues to show why he's one of the most dominant offensive players in the Western Conference and he's averaging 33.9 points, 10.5 rebounds and 7.9 assists per game since the beginning of February.

Doncic registered 31 points (12-25 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 4-7 FT), six rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal over 34 minutes during Wednesday's 107-77 loss to the Knicks.

Although Doncic put up a solid number, he contributed significantly to Dallas' terrible shooting performance. The team shot a horrid 31.4 percent from the floor and went an abysmal 6-of-44 beyond the arc. Doncic was responsible for three of the three-pointers, and he was equally inaccurate, going 3-of-11 from downtown.

Doncic notched 35 points (12-23 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 16 rebounds, seven assists, one block and three steals over 38 minutes during Monday's 111-103 victory over the Jazz.

Doncic returned from a one-game absence, powering the Mavericks to a statement victory. Not only was he a beast on the boards but he also racked up four combined defensive stats, while shooing efficiently from both the floor and the charity stripe. This is about as good as it gets for fantasy managers invested in Doncic and with the team pushing hard for a home playoff series, he could be a monster the rest of the way.

Doncic (toe) has been cleared to play Monday against the Jazz.

A toe injury kept Doncic out of Saturday's game against the Kings, but as expected he'll make his return to action as the Mavs tip off a four-game week. Saturday's absence aside, Doncic continues to surge along as one of the best players in the league over the second half of the season. In his last 13 games, Doncic is averaging 34.4 points, 10.2 rebounds, 8.7 assists, 1.2 steals and 3.7 threes per contest.

Doncic (toe) is probable for Monday's contest against the Jazz.

Doncic was sidelined for Saturday's contest against the Kings, but he's expected to be back in the starting lineup Monday. Over his last nine appearances, the All-Star point guard has averaged 35.8 points, 10.2 rebounds and 7.3 assists in 37.6 minutes per game.

Doncic (toe) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Kings.

Doncic is dealing with a sprained left toe and will be forced to miss at least one game as a result. Spencer Dinwiddie and Frank Ntilikina should see increased run against Sacramento.

Doncic is questionable for Saturday's game against Sacramento with a sprained toe on his left foot.

Doncic delivered 41 points (15-26 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 10 rebounds, nine assists and two steals in 40 minutes during Thursday's win over the Warriors, but he apparently didn't escape the contest unscathed. Spencer Dinwiddie and Frank Ntilikina should take on heavier workloads Saturday should Doncic be unable to face the Kings.

Doncic totaled 41 points (15-26 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 10 rebounds, nine assists and two steals across 40 minutes during Thursday's 122-113 victory over the Warriors.

Doncic has cooked the Warriors for 75 points on 53.2 percent shooting across two contests over the past week. While he hasn't logged a triple-double since February 4, Doncic was as close as possible Thursday. Nonetheless, he's been dominant over his past five contests -- averaging 34.4 points per game.

Doncic provided 25 points (9-21 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 7-11 FT), eight rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 109-104 win over the Lakers.

Although Doncic wasn't especially sharp from the field, his seven points in the fourth quarter brought Dallas back after blowing a huge lead. The glaring deficiency for Doncic was his lack of success beyond the arc, but the All-Star will usually be Dallas' nightly leader in almost every category.

Doncic logged 34 points (10-21 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 11-12 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 37 minutes during Sunday's 107-101 victory over Golden State.

Doncic put the Mavericks on his back, guiding them to what looked like an improbable victory. Trailing for much of the game, Dallas rattled off a 23-1 run in the final quarter, shutting down the Warriors' offense. They have now won seven of their past nine games and sit comfortably inside the top-6 as they push for a home playoff series. Given what we have seen from Doncic over the past month, he looks set for an electric finish to the fantasy season.

Doncic ended with 23 points (8-24 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, 11 assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Friday's 114-109 loss to the Jazz.

Doncic was once again in the vicinity of recording a triple-double, something fantasy managers have become used to in recent times. Despite the strong performance, Doncic was well held down the stretch with Rudy Gobert doing a fantastic job, forcing him into a couple of tough shots. The fact this can be considered a serviceable line says a lot about the lofty expectations managers have right now. Obviously, he is going to remain a stud the rest of the way as the Mavericks look to push for a homecourt advantage come the playoffs.

Doncic produced 21 points (5-19 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 9-12 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists and one block over 38 minutes during Tuesday's 107-99 victory over the Heat.

Doncic ended four dimes away from what would've been his 10th triple-double of the season, but this was far from his best game from an efficiency standpoint. The star guard continues to thrive and has been excellent in all formats of fantasy, though, and this might have been nothing more than a bump on the road for Doncic, who's averaging 34.4 points, 10.0 rebounds and 9.6 assists per game across seven February appearances.

Doncic closed with 45 points (15-33 FG, 6-13 3Pt, 9-13 FT), 15 rebounds and eight assists across 39 minutes during Saturday's 99-97 loss to the Clippers.

Coming off of his first career 50-point game Thursday against these same Clippers, Doncic had another monster effort, this time chipping in a season-high 15 boards while adding his usual contributions as a passer. Turnovers have been an issue of late (19 in his last three games), but Doncic continues to pile up counting stats at an ultra-elite level. Over his last three, Doncic is averaging 43.0 points, 10.3 rebounds, 8.3 assists, 1.0 blocks, 0.7 steals, and he's a combined 18-of-36 from three.

Doncic contributed 51 points (17-26 FG, 7-14 3Pt, 10-14 FT), nine rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal in 40 minutes during Thursday's 112-105 victory over the Clippers.

Doncic was simply unstoppable Thursday, torching the Clippers with a career-high 51 points. He becomes just the third Maverick to eclipse the 50-point barrier, falling two points short of Dirk Nowitzki's franchise-high. When breaking down Doncic and his recent play when compared to his early-season production, it is really night and day. He looks much healthier and his motivation has certainly returned. With Kristaps Porzingis now on his way to Washington, Doncic is going to be putting up some gaudy stat lines the rest of the way.

Doncic finished with 33 points (9-18 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 10-14 FT), seven rebounds, 11 assists, two blocks and one steal in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 116-86 win over the Pistons.

While the game was well in hand midway through the third quarter, Doncic still saw close to his normal workload as Dallas coasted to a third straight victory. Since the start of January, Doncic is up to 26.7 points, 9.9 assists, 9.8 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 2.3 threes per game (30.5% 3Pt).

Doncic provided 33 points (13-28 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 6-9 FT), 13 rebounds, 15 assists and two steals over 40 minutes during Friday's 107-98 victory over the 76ers.

Coming off of a 40-point effort in Wednesday's loss to the Thunder, Doncic turned in yet another monster performance to push the Mavs to one of their more impressive wins of late. Dating back to the start of January, Doncic is averaging 26.9 points, 10.0 rebounds, 9.8 assists, 1.5 steals and 2.2 made threes, though he's still struggling from beyond the arc (28.7% 3Pt).

Doncic closed Wednesday's 120-114 overtime loss to Oklahoma City with 40 points (16-33 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, 10 assists and three steals across 43 minutes.

Doncic did everything he could to get his team over the line against the Thunder, scoring at least 40 points for the second time this season. The loss sees the Mavericks fall to sixth in the standings, an area they would like to try and avoid come April. On a personal note, it's been another strong season thus far for Doncic, although his efficiency from the charity stripe does remain an issue when analyzing his overall fantasy value.

Doncic notched 34 points (13-22 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 12 rebounds, 11 assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Sunday's 110-108 loss to the Magic.

Doncic was electric Sunday, recording his eighth triple-double of the season. Interestingly, it was Maxi Kleber who fired the notable crunch time shots, missing two potentially game-winning threes. Doncic not being more involved in the final plays is a travesty, but shareholders may get another boom against the lowly Thunder on Wednesday.

Doncic produced 30 points (12-21 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 2-7 FT), six rebounds, 12 assists, two blocks and one steal across 32 minutes during Saturday's 132-105 win over Indiana.

Doncic took advantage of a severely short-handed Indiana team and led his squad to a blowout victory over Rick Carlisle, the former coach of the Mavericks. The All-Star kept things rolling after recording a triple-double over Portland in his last game.

Doncic totaled 15 points (4-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-8 FT), 10 rebounds, 15 assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 132-112 victory over the Trail Blazers.

It was a modest scoring night by Doncic's lofty standards, as his streak of 11 performances with 20-plus points came to an end. However, the superstar point guard made up for it by thriving as a rebounder and distributor. The triple-double was the sixth of the season for Doncic, fifth-most in the NBA.

Doncic accumulated 25 points (7-17 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 7-7 FT), eight rebounds and three assists across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 130-92 loss to the Warriors.

Doncic was on his way to a solid fantasy night, but the Warriors pulled away in the second half, so the superstar spent much of the fourth quarter on the bench watching the 38-point defeat. Still, it was an encouraging performance for fantasy managers, as Doncic drilled four three-pointers and hit all seven of his free throws. He's struggled in both of those areas for much of the season.

Doncic recorded 37 points (13-25 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 9-12 FT), 11 rebounds, nine assists, one block and three steals in 38 minutes during Sunday's 104-91 win over the Grizzlies.

Doncic was masterful during Sunday's win, leading the Mavericks in points, rebounds, assists and steals en route to his fourth double-double with at least 30 points. Over his last eight games, he's averaging 27.4 points, 11.4 rebounds, 8.5 assists and 1.3 steals in 36.4 minutes. However, the star point guard is shooting just 20.3 percent from beyond the arc during that stretch and is connecting on a career-low 29.1 percent of three-point attempts this season. Despite the shooting struggles, his fantasy production continues to be prolific and consistent, but he does appear to have another gear he can reach. Doncic will look to continue his strong during Dallas' four-game week, which includes two back-to-backs.

Coach Jason Kidd said Saturday that Doncic (neck) will play Sunday against the Grizzlies, Callie Caplan of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Doncic has been dealing with a neck injury recently, but he was a full participant in Saturday's practice session. He's averaged 26.0 points, 11.4 rebounds and 8.4 assists in 36.1 minutes per game across his last seven appearances and should continue to see plenty of playing time Sunday as long as he doesn't aggravate his injury.

Doncic finished Thursday's 109-101 loss to the Suns with 28 points (9-23 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 8-11 FT), eight rebounds, eight assists and one steal across 38 minutes.

Doncic led the Mavericks with 28 points, but he struggled again from distance and is now shooting just 20.8 percent from three over his last 10 games. Despite the poor shooting, the star point guard is still averaging 24.3 points, 10.4 rebounds, 9.2 assists and 1.4 steals in 35.2 minutes during that stretch. The Mavericks upcoming games -- Sunday versus Memphis and Tuesday at Golden State -- should be tough tests for Dallas, so Doncic will need to be at his best, which should provide fantasy mangers with some quality production.

Doncic logged 41 points (13-24 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 11-12 FT), 14 rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 42 minutes during Wednesday's 102-98 victory over the Raptors.

Doncic scored 41 points and grabbed 14 points -- both season highs -- en route to his 11th double-double of the 2021-22 campaign. He also dished out at least seven assists for the seventh time in his last nine games and is averaging 23.9 points, 10.7 rebounds and 9.3 assists during that stretch. The Mavericks have won 10 of their last 11 games thanks to Doncic's strong play and will face a strong test against the Suns on Thursday.

Doncic amassed 20 points (4-17 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 12-14 FT), 11 rebounds, 12 assists, three blocks and three steals across 39 minutes during Monday's 104-102 victory over Oklahoma City.

Doncic had a horrible shooting night and missed all six of his three-point attempts, but his 12 points from the free-throw line helped him convert the hat trick. Monday marked Doncic's third triple-double in just eight days, and thanks to his contribution, the Mavericks are one of the hottest teams in the league at the moment.

Doncic provided 23 points (7-19 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 8-9 FT), nine rebounds and three assists over 31 minutes during Saturday's 108-92 victory over the Magic.

Doncic's line was relatively quiet by his standards, though he paced Dallas in points and rebounds in the contest. The point guard's three assists were his lowest total of the campaign but still tied for the team lead. Doncic figures to be more dynamic in most games, but his fantasy managers should at least feel good about the fact that he turned the ball over only once Saturday.

Doncic closed with 27 points (12-22 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds and 10 assists in 32 minutes during Friday's 112-85 victory over the Grizzlies.

Dallas put a stop to Memphis' 11-game winning streak with a big second half during which the Mavs outscored the Grizzlies 62 to 30. Doncic notched his third triple-double in the last three games, and he's now up to 21.8 points, 10.2 rebounds, 10.3 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.3 threes in six games since returning from a 10-game absence.

Doncic accumulated 21 points (8-23 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists and two steals over 36 minutes during Wednesday's 108-85 loss to New York.

Doncic was far from efficient in this game since he needed 23 shots to score 21 points, but that was enough to lead the Mavericks in a game where the entire offense struggled. He's scored 20-plus points in four of his last five appearances, however, so he continues to be productive even if the efficiency just isn't there.

Doncic ended with 22 points (8-23 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 14 rebounds and 14 assists in 35 minutes during Sunday's 113-99 win over the Bulls.

Doncic was considered a game-time call for Sunday's matchup after missing the previous contest due to a right ankle sprain, but he didn't show any lingering effects of that injury considering he notched a triple-double to carry Dallas to victory. The lack of efficiency continues to affect Doncic at times, but he's a nightly triple-double threat and continues to be an elite asset in fantasy when healthy. He's missed 15 games already, though, so the health aspect seems something that needs to be monitored closely with Doncic, especially in DFS formats.

Doncic (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Bulls.

Doncic was considered a game-time call for Sunday's matchup, but he'll be able to play through his right ankle sprain following a one-game absence. Across his last three appearances, the 22-year-old averaged 20.3 points, 11.0 assists and 8.0 rebounds in 33.0 minutes per game.

Doncic (ankle) is considered questionable for Sunday's tilt against the Bulls.

Doncic missed Friday's game against the Rockets after turning his ankle earlier in the week. His status Sunday will depend on how it is feeling closer to tip-off. Jalen Brunson, Frank Ntilikina and Trey Burke would all be in line for expanded roles again should he ultimately be unable to go.

Doncic (ankle) is out for Friday's game against the Rockets.

Doncic was doubtful ahead of Friday's matchup after he turned his ankle Wednesday, and he'll be held out against Houston. Jalen Brunson, Frank Ntilikina and Trey Burke should see additional run Friday.

Doncic (ankle) is doubtful for Friday's matchup against the Rockets, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

Doncic turned his right ankle in Wednesday's win over the Warriors. The opposite ankle caused him to miss 10 games in December. While he'll likely be out Friday, it's a positive sign that he's listed as doubtful rather than out, suggesting the injury isn't too serious.

Doncic finished with 26 points (7-18 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 10-12 FT), seven rebounds, eight assists and two stealsduring Wednesday's 99-82 victory over Golden State.

In his third game back, Doncic provided a game high offensively during their win over the best team in the Western Conference, as the guard logged 34 minutes of action and nearly finished with a triple-double. However, it appeared that Doncic injured his right ankle sometime during the contest, and the All-Star apparently returned to the bench after trying to play the last minute and a half. Although the injury doesn't seem to be too serious, per NBA writer Marc Stein, it's definitely something to keep an eye out on. Doncic and the Mavericks face the Rockies on Friday.

Doncic contributed 21 points (7-18 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 6-8 FT), eight rebounds, 15 assists and four steals across 34 minutes during Monday's 103-89 win over the Nuggets.

Doncic's minutes rose to a usual level Monday after logging a seaon-low 31 minutes in Sunday's win over the Thunder. Doncic was efficient in getting the ball to his teammates despite the joss of Kristaps Porzingis (COVID-19 Protocols), one of the All-Star's most frequent targets.

Doncic finished Sunday's 95-86 victory over Oklahoma City with 14 points (6-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt), nine rebounds, 10 assists and one steal over 31 minutes.

Doncic returned from a lengthy 10-game absence but looked absolutely impressive despite having a minutes restriction, and he ended just one rebound away from posting what would've been his third triple-double of the season. The star guard has struggled with injuries this season and has already missed 14 games, but he's an elite performer every time he steps on the court and should be treated as such when healthy.

Doncic (ankle/COVID-19 protocols) will be available and have a minutes restriction Sunday against the Thunder, Callie Caplan of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Doncic has missed the past 10 games due to the ankle injury and the COVID-19 protocols, so it's not a major surprise he'll be limited in his return to the court. It's the front half of a back-to-back set, and it's unclear if the Mavericks plan to limit the 22-year-old further, or hold him out entirely, for Monday's matchup with Denver.

Doncic (ankle, COVID-19 protocols) exited protocols Saturday and could make his return Sunday against the Thunder, NBA writer Marc Stein reports.

Between an ankle injury and protocols, Doncic has missed the past 10 games. After a slow start to the season, he was just starting to turn things around. In his last seven games, he's averaged 26.9 points on 47.6 percent shooting, 9.4 assists and 7.3 rebounds in 34.6 minutes. If Doncic returns Sunday, he could be on a minutes limit.

Doncic has entered the NBA's health and safety protocols, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

This is a devastating blow for the Mavericks, who were hoping to get Doncic back from an ankle injury Thursday night against the Bucks and will now be without their superstar for an additional stretch of games. Unless Doncic can return a pair of negative tests within a 24-hour period, he'll almost certainly sit out Dallas' Christmas Day showdown against the Jazz. Given how much time other players have missed, Doncic should be expected to be sidelined for 7-to-10 days, which would rule him out for at lest four or five more contests.

Doncic (ankle) is hopeful to play in Thursday's game against the Bucks, Brad Townsend of the Dallas Morning News reports.

Coach Jason Kidd didn't have much to say about Doncic's sore left ankle, but he noted that the superstar is progressing and could make his return to action later in the week. Tuesday's game against Minnesota will mark Doncic's fifth consecutive absence and his ninth missed game on the season.

Doncic (ankle) won't play Tuesday against the Timberwolves.

Doncic with miss his fifth straight game while recovering from left ankle soreness. Jalen Brunson is expected to continue operating as the starting point guard while Doncic remains out.

Doncic (ankle) will remain out Wednesday against the Lakers and Sunday against the Timberwolves, NBA writer Marc Stein reports.

Doncic will miss his third and fourth straight games while recovering from left ankle soreness. Jalen Brunson should continue holding down the starting point guard spot while Doncic remains out.

Doncic (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's contest against the Lakers.

The Mavericks were expected to hold Doncic out for two games while he manages a sore left ankle, but they are now electing to keep him sidelined for a third consecutive contest. After Wednesday's matchup with the Lakers, Dallas doesn't resume game action again until Dec. 19, so Doncic really will have been give over a week to get his ankle right. The star point guard has experienced a slight regression in his shooting stoke this season, as he has seen his field-goal, three-point and three-throw percentage all drop from a season prior, so maybe the week off will get him back on track. However, any criticism is nit-picking, as Doncic is still averaging 25.6 points, 8.5 assists, 8.0 rebounds and 1.0 steals across 35.0 minutes per game. In his absence, Jalen Brunson and Kristaps Porzingis are expected to shoulder most of the offensive burden once again.

The Mavericks expect Doncic (ankle) to sit out multiple games, per independent NBA writer Marc Stein.

The Mavericks are figuring out Doncic's return date while he continues suffering from significant soreness to his left ankle. For now, their superstar is unavailable Sunday (at Oklahoma City) and seems such Monday (versus Charlotte). His earliest return date could be Wednesday versus the Lakers. Fantasy managers should expect Jalen Brunson to start during Doncic's absence.

Doncic (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Oklahoma City.

Doncic rolled his left ankle in the third quarter of Friday's loss to the Pacers and has been diagnosed with left ankle soreness. He'll be forced to miss the first half of a back-to-back set Sunday, while Jalen Brunson, Frank Ntilikina and Trey Burke should see increased playing time against the Thunder.

Doncic provided 27 points (11-25 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal in 37 minutes during Friday's 106-93 loss to the Pacers.

Doncic appeared to be in some pain after rolling his ankle during the third quarter of Friday's matchup, but he was able to play through the issue. He remained productive against Indiana and led the Mavericks in scoring, rebounds and assists. Although the 22-year-old has battled through thumb and ankle issues recently, he's topped 20 points in each of his last eight appearances.

Doncic notched 26 points (10-19 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 104-96 victory over the Grizzlies.

Playing through multiple injuries on the second half of a back-to-back, it was a sloppy night for Doncic, but the Mavs were nonetheless able to hold Memphis to 40.0 percent shooting and gut out the victory. As usual, Doncic provided elite counting stats, but his overall inefficiency has to be a concern for fantasy managers as the Mavs near the 25-game mark. It's well-known that Doncic plays himself into shape as the season wears on, but thus far he's been a significant drag in turnovers and free throw percentage for managers in roto leagues.

Doncic (ankle/thumb) will be available for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.

Doncic has been playing through a sore ankle and a sprained thumb of late, but he'll be available Wednesday as the Mavs finish out a tough back-to-back set after playing in Brooklyn on Tuesday night. While the Mavs blew a second-half lead, Doncic finished with 28 points, nine assists and six boards in 37 minutes.

Doncic (ankle/thumb) is questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Grizzlies.

Doncic has been dealing with a sore ankle and a sprained thumb, but he was able to return from a one-game absence and play in Tuesday's contest against the Nets, posting 28 points, nine assists and six rebounds in 37 minutes. While he was able to play Tuesday, the Mavericks may elect to be cautious with their star point guard and sit him for the second half of their back-to-back, so fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status up until the 8:00 PM ET tip.

Doncic had 28 points (9-21 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 7-8 FT), six rebounds and nine assists in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 102-99 loss to the Nets.

Doncic struggled from deep once again and still attempted from than 20 field goals, something he's done in seven of his last eight appearances, but he still provided a strong stat line while carrying the Mavericks in what turned out to be a sour loss. Doncic continues to be one of the best all-around players in the league and is posting excellent numbers once again, but he's also experiencing a bit of a regression compared to what he'd done over the last two seasons.

Doncic (ankle/thumb) will be available for Tuesday's game against the Nets.

The combination of a sore ankle and sprained thumb kept Doncic out of the Mavs' last game, but he was able to go through a full practice Monday, and he'll be back in action as the Mavs begin a four-game Week 8. Over his last five games, Doncic is averaging 26.6 points, 10.0 assists, 7.4 rebounds and 3.2 threes, but he continues to struggle at the free throw line (67.9% FT), which has significantly damaged his overall fantasy value in roto leagues.

Doncic (ankle) is probable for Tuesday's contest against the Nets.

Doncic returned to practice Monday after missing Saturday's loss to the Grizzlies due to left ankle soreness, but he was still listed as questionable for Tuesday's contest. However, now the star point guard has been upgraded to probable and it appears the Mavericks will have both Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis back in the lineup together for the first time since Dec. 1. Doncic continues to be a prolific fantasy producer, averaging 25.4 points, 8.5 assists, 8.1 rebounds and 1.1 steals across 34.7 minutes per game.

Doncic (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's contest against the Nets.

Doncic returned to practice Monday after missing Saturday's loss to the Grizzlies due to left ankle soreness. However, the star point guard is still listed as questionable for Tuesday's contest. If Doncic is ruled out again, then Jalen Brunson and Frank Ntilikina should take on increased roles against Brooklyn.

Doncic (ankle) participated in practice Monday, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

Doncic didn't play in Saturday's loss to the Grizzlies due to left ankle soreness. However, the star point guard was able to return to practice Monday and may be available for the Mavericks' four-game week starting Tuesday. On the season, Doncic is averaging 25.4 points, 8.5 assists, 8.1 rebounds and 1.1 steals across 34.7 minutes per game.

Doncic has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Memphis due to left ankle soreness.

Doncic had played at least 30 minutes in four of the last five games, and he averaged 26.6 points, 10.0 assists and 7.4 rebounds in 34.6 minutes per contest during that time. Jalen Brunson and Frank Ntilikina should take on increased roles in the backcourt Saturday.

Doncic totaled 28 points (11-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, 14 assists and one steal over 27 minutes during Wednesday's 139-107 win over the Pelicans.

This was Doncic's third straight game with 10 or more assists, a span in which he has two double-doubles and one triple-double. The star guard has scored at least 20 points in all but two games this season, but aside from being a stellar scoring threat, he's also managed to register elite numbers in both passing and rebounding. Doncic is averaging 27.4 points, 9.2 assists and 7.6 rebounds per game since the beginning of November.

Doncic recorded 33 points (13-25 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 4-7 FT), four rebounds and 10 assists across 37 minutes during Saturday's 120-114 loss to Washington.

It was a rough game for Dallas' other four starters, who combined for just 35 points on 37.1 percent shooting from the field. Doncic almost single-handedly matched that point total, and he also managed to chip in 10 dimes despite his teammates' poor shooting. The superstar point guard continues to stake his claim as one of fantasy's most productive players, ranking eighth in the NBA in scoring (25.5 points per game) and fifth in assists (8.1 dimes per contest).

Doncic closed with 26 points (9-21 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, nine assists, two blocks and one steal over 41 minutes during Tuesday's 112-104 OT victory over the Clippers.

Doncic fell agonizingly short of another triple-double during the overtime win, picking right up where he left off with another impressive display. Despite dealing with two different leg injuries, Doncic appeared untroubled, logging a whopping 41 minutes. While the playing time was not ideal given his recent layoff, the Mavericks don't play again until Saturday, and so Doncic should be raring to go in another tough matchup against the Wizards.

Doncic (ankle, knee) will play Tuesday against the Clippers, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports reports.

After three missed games due to a sprained ankle and knee, Doncic will return to the lineup. In November, he's averaging 27.0 points, 8.3 assists, 8.1 rebounds and 1.6 steals.

Doncic (ankle, knee) will be a game-time decision for Tuesday's contest against the Clippers, Dwain Price of the Mavericks' official site reports.

Doncic told reporters that he will work out prior to Tuesday's game and see how he feels, but he's officially listed as questionable. The star point guard has missed the last three games due to sprains in his left knee and left ankle. Before the injuries, Doncic was averaging 24.9 points, 8.3 rebounds, 7.9 assists and 1.3 steals across 34.8 minutes per game.

Doncic (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Clippers.

Doncic has missed the last three games due to an ankle injury, but he participated in some scrimmages with the team during Monday's practice. If he's able to return to game action Tuesday, Jalen Brunson would likely take on a bench role for Dallas.

Doncic (ankle) is practicing Monday with hopes to play in Tuesday's contest against the Clippers, Mark Medina of NBA.com reports.

The All-Star guard has missed the last three Mavericks contests due to an ankle injury but there is a strong chance for Doncic to make his return to Dallas' lineup Tuesday night. The 6-foot-7 playmaker's return most likely would translate to Jalen Brunson shifting back to his role off of the bench. If Doncic can't suit up Tuesday, his next chance to return to the court comes Saturday against the Wizards.

Doncic (ankle, knee) is out against the Clippers on Sunday.

Doncic will have sat out three games because of multiple sprains. Fantasy managers should expect Jalen Brunson to start. He averaged 18.0 points, 9.5 assists and 6.5 rebounds during Doncic's two-game absence.

Doncic (ankle) is a game-time call for Sunday's game against the Clippers, Callie Caplan of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Doncic's status will likely come down right to Sunday's tip as he'll test his ankle out in warmups to see how he feels. Jalen Brunson will be in line for another start if he's unable to go again.

Doncic (ankle, knee) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Clippers.

Doncic has missed the past two games but could return Sunday. If he does, there's a chance he'll be on a minutes limit.

Doncic (ankle) is officially out for Friday's contest against the Suns.

The All-Star guard will miss his second straight showing as he nurses his ankle injury. Jalen Brunson started in Doncic's absence and impressed with 18 points (8-18 FG, 2-4 3Pt), nine rebounds and nine assists in 37 minutes. Doncic's next chance to return comes Sunday against the Clippers.

Doncic (ankle) is doubtful for Friday's game against the Suns.

Doncic missed Wednesday's game due to a sprained left ankle and sprained left knee that he sustained Monday. While the 22-year-old appears to have avoided a major injury, he's likely on track to miss a second straight game. If he's unavailable, Jalen Brunson and Trey Burke should see increased run Friday.

Doncic (ankle) will not play Wednesday against the Suns.

No surprise here after Doncic exited Monday night's win over the Nuggets and was later diagnosed with both a sprained left ankle and a sprained left knee. An MRI on Tuesday morning revealed no major damage, but Doncic could be set to miss a few games in the short term. The Mavs and Suns are slated for a rematch Friday before Dallas heads to Los Angeles for a two-game set against the Clippers on Sunday and Tuesday.

Doncic (ankle) has avoided a serious injury, but he's still likely to miss some time in the short term, Tim MacMahon of ESPN reports.

While the superstar appears to have avoided a long-term absence, there's still a good chance that he could miss multiple games while dealing with swelling and discomfort. As of Tuesday afternoon, the Mavs have not officially ruled him out of Wednesday's game at Phoenix, but he'll likely be sidelined for that contest, and he could also miss Friday's rematch. For now, consider Doncic day-to-day, but fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised if he's played his final game for the week.

Doncic underwent testing Tuesday that revealed no damage to his left ankle or knee, but he will continue to be evaluated daily, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Doncic appeared to turn his ankle with less than a minute remaining in the fourth quarter and was spotted liming off the floor shortly thereafter. The star point guard is considered day-to-day, but the Mavericks will likely be extremely cautious. If he is unable to suit up during Wednesday's matchup with the Suns, then Jalen Brunson would likely draw the start and the majority of the ball-handling duties for the Mavericks.

Doncic suffered a left ankle injury during Monday's game against Denver, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports. He finished with 23 points (9-23 FG, 2-7 3PT, 3-5 FT), 11 assists, two steals and a block in 38 minutes.

Doncic appeared to turn his ankle with less than a minute remaining in the fourth quarter and was spotted limping off the floor shortly after. Coach Jason Kidd stated after the contest that the team will evaluate Doncic on Tuesday to determine his status moving forward. Jalen Brunson and Reggie Bullock could be in line for an increase in minutes if Doncic is facing an extended absence.

Doncic notched 32 points (11-23 FG, 6-13 3Pt, 4-8 FT), 12 rebounds, 15 assists and two steals across 36 minutes during Friday's 123-109 victory over the Spurs.

Doncic wasn't at his finest when it comes to his shooting numbers, but he delivered an impressive all-around effort that resulted in his first triple-double of the campaign. He also has six double-doubles on the year and seems to be turning things around after a rather slow start -- according to his lofty standards.

Doncic notched 20 points (6-18 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 7-10 FT), eight rebounds, 10 assists, one block and four steals across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 117-107 loss to the Bulls.

Doncic ended just two rebounds away from putting up his first triple-double of the season, but on the other hand, this was his sixth double-double across 11 contests so far. Doncic is experiencing a slight drop in his scoring and passing numbers compared to last season, and while that might be attributed to the presence of a healthy Kristaps Porzingis, it doesn't take anything away from Doncic being an elite fantasy asset and the go-to player on offense for the Mavericks.

Doncic closed with 33 points (12-21 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and one block in 35 minutes during Saturday's 107-104 victory over the Celtics.

The Celtics rallied late but were crushed by a Doncic dagger as time expired in the fourth quarter. If this had been anyone but Doncic, it may have been the shot heard around the world. The young superstar is all too familiar with situations such as this and so it is almost more surprising when the shot doesn't go in. To round out what was a spectacular night, Doncic was efficient from both the field and the charity stripe, something that is music to the ears of his fantasy managers.

Doncic had 23 points (10-25 FG, 3-12 3Pt, 0-2 FT), 12 rebounds, seven assists and two steals in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 109-108 victory over San Antonio.

Doncic put up another double-double but his struggles with efficiency continued. As is typically the case with Doncic, his peripheral numbers have been elite; however, the defense and shooting drag his overall value down substantially. His name value often outweighs his actual value, leading to him being a much better fit on fantasy squads with a clear punt strategy in mind.

Doncic finished with 33 points (10-24 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 10-12 FT), five assists and three rebounds across 36 minutes of action Tuesday, as the Mavericks fell to the Heat 125-110.

Doncic was his usual, highlight-reel self -- splashing deep threes and slashing through the paint. That being said, he lacked efficiency and failed to make a sizable impact elsewhere. Miami holds the top defensive rating in the NBA, so Doncic will have a softer opposition Wednesday against the Spurs to close the back-to-back.

Doncic finished with 23 points (10-21 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 2-6 FT), 10 assists, eight rebounds, one steal, one block and three turnovers during Sunday's 105-99 win over the Kings.

The All-Star guard stuffed the stat sheet while he continued to struggle with his outside shot during the win. Doncic is shooting just 25.7 percent from beyond the arc this year, while his scoring average of 22.4 points per game is nearly five points less than last year's mark. Regardless, the 22-year-old still remains an elite fantasy option in all fantasy formats going forward.

Doncic mustered 16 points (5-18 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two steals across 26 minutes in Friday's loss against the Nuggets.

The 16-point output represents Doncic's lowest scoring output of the campaign, though this was a game where the entire Dallas offense struggled. The star guard is averaging 22.4 points, 8.6 rebounds and 7.0 assists per game so far, but he's shooting just 41.7 percent from the field and 25.7 percent from three-point range, so there's still room for improvement on his end.

Doncic finished with 26 points (10-25 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 14 rebounds, seven assists, two steals and one block in 34 minutes during Tuesday's 116-106 victory over the Rockets.

Doncic was perfect from the charity stripe as he led the Mavericks to victory in their home-opener. His free throw shooting has been a major concern thus far throughout his career, limiting his overall fantasy value. The other numbers are generally going to be there on a nightly basis and so if he can improve his bonus shots, the sky is the limit.

Doncic recorded 27 points (11-24 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 12 assists, nine rebounds and one block across 39 minutes Saturday during a 103-95 win at Toronto.

Doncic logged a double-double across consecutive games, this time by recording fewer rebounds but more assists. The Mavericks' inconsistent outputs and new head coach will not prevent him from recording unparalleled tallies concerning at least two statistical categories.

Doncic will rest in Friday's preseason game against the Bucks, Callie Caplan of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Doncic is one of several starters who will be held out for rest purposes in the final game of the preseason. The 22-year-old is a strong MVP candidate heading into the 2021-22 campaign after he averaged 28.8 points, 9.4 rebounds and 8.8 assists in 33.6 minutes per game last year, and he should be ready for Thursday's regular-season opener against Atlanta.

Doncic finished Wednesday's preseason win over the Jazz with 19 points (8-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, five assists and one steal.

The Mavs got a look at virtually the entire roster, as 15 players saw the court and 14 played double-digit minutes. Doncic needed only 16 minutes of first-half action to rack up a team-high 19 points, while adding his usual, outstanding production as a passer and rebounder. Doncic enters his fourth NBA season as the odds-on MVP favorite after putting 27.7 points, 8.6 assists, 8.0 rebounds, 1.0 steal and 2.9 threes per game in 2020-21.

Doncic officially signed a five-year, $207.06 million contract extension with Dallas on Tuesday, Eddie Sefko of the Mavericks' official site reports.

After nearly guiding Slovenia to a medal last week in the nation's first men's basketball appearance in the Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Doncic returned to his home country and met with Mavericks representatives to put pen to paper on a massive new deal that keeps the star point guard in Dallas through the 2026-27 campaign. The extension is the largest in NBA history for any player coming off his rookie deal.

Doncic is expected to agree to a five-year, $202 million contract extension with Dallas once the Olympics conclude, independent NBA writer Marc Stein reports.

While Doncic is currently focusing on bringing home the gold medal for Slovenia, the 22-year-old appears to have come to an agreement with the Mavericks to sign a supermax extension that will keep him in Dallas for five more years. In Doncic's third season in the league, the guard managed to average 27.7 points, 8.6 assists, 8.0 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 34.3 minutes. Although Doncic will likely sign this huge contract, he'll have a lot to prove if the Mavericks are unable to bring another star in to be at his side.

Doncic was named to the All-NBA First Team.

Doncic continued to dazzle in his third season and was able to force a Game 7 against the Clippers in Round 1. In the regular season, he averaged 27.7 points, 8.6 assists, 8.0 rebounds and 1.0 steals in 34.3 minutes. He had 26 double-doubles and 11 triple-doubles in his 66 appearances.

Doncic intimated Monday that he plans to sign a supermax extension with the Mavericks this offseason, Marc Stein of the New York Times reports.

A lot can change between now and the start of free agency, but it appears Doncic is plenty comfortable in Dallas after three full seasons in the NBA. When asked about signing the extension, which would pay him north of $200 million, Doncic replied: "I think you know the answer." While the Mavs bowed out in Round 1 for the second straight season, the 22-year-old has emerged as a bona fide superstar who will be one of the faces of the league for the next decade-plus. Dallas will need to make some upgrades around Doncic, but it's nonetheless extremely encouraging that he looks to be on course for a long-term commitment to the franchise.

Doncic had 46 points (17-30 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 7-11 FT), 14 assists and seven rebounds in Sunday's Game 7 loss to the Clippers.

Doncic did all he could to keep the Mavericks alive, but his third 40-point game of the series wasn't enough, as the Clippers drained 20 three-pointers and nearly got a triple-double from Kawhi Leonard. Throughout Round 1, Dallas leaned heavily on Doncic, who served as the primary initiator on virtually every possession for which he was on the floor. Across the seven games, the 22-year-old averaged 35.7 points, 10.3 assists, 8.1 rebounds, 4.4 three-pointers and 1.3 steals while shooting 49 percent from the field and 40.8 percent from long distance.

Doncic (neck) will play Sunday against the Clippers in a crucial Game 7.

After initially being ruled as probable with a cervical strain in his neck, Doncic will start in a win-or-go-home. Doncic has played exceptionally well this series and has averaged 35.0 points, 9.7 assists, 8.0 rebounds and 1.5 steals.

Doncic (neck) is probable for Sunday's Game 7 against the Clippers.

Doncic has been battling a neck injury since he suffered it during Game 3, though he's not at much risk of missing Sunday's crucial Game 7. That said, he's been struggling with his shot over the past three games, shooting just 43.5 percent from the field, 32.1 percent from three and 53.8 percent from the free-throw line.

Doncic mustered 29 points (11-24 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 11 assists, eight rebounds and four steals across 41 minutes in Friday's loss to the Clippers.

Doncic recorded his second double-double of the series and scored at least 29 points for the fifth time in six contests, but his efforts were not enough to carry the Mavericks into the second round. The star guard is averaging 34.0 points, 9.7 assists, 8.0 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game in the series and should play a pivotal role in Game 7 on Sunday.

Doncic (neck) is available for Friday's Game 6 against the Clippers.

Doncic was listed as probable ahead of Friday's matchup, but he'll be able to play through his neck injury once again. He recorded 42 points, 14 assists and eight rebounds in 43 minutes during Game 5 on Wednesday.

Doncic (neck) is listed as probable for Game 6 against the Clippers on Friday.

Doncic was also listed as probable for Game 5 before he proceeded to drop 42 points, 14 assists and eight rebounds across 43 minutes in a dismantling of the Clippers. That said, it's safe to assume he will be available once again for Game 6. In the series, the 22-year-old is averaging an absurd 35.0 points on 47.9 percent shooting, 9.4 assists, 8.0 rebounds, 4.8 triples and 1.0 steal per game.

Doncic ended with 42 points (17-37 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 2-3 FT), 14 assists, eight rebounds and one steal in 43 minutes during Wednesday's 105-100 victory over the Clippers.

Doncic was a one-man wrecking crew as he basically single-handedly dismantled the Clippers on Wednesday. Coming into the game under an injury cloud, Doncic was everywhere for the Mavericks as they took back control of the series. Even more astounding was the fact Kristaps Porzingis managed just eight points and six rebounds in 30 minutes, offering very little support. In fact, Tim Hardaway Jr. was the only other player to score in double-digits, highlighting just how important Doncic is to this team. Game 6 will be in Dallas on Friday but as we have seen throughout the series, that does not appear to work in favor of the Mavericks.

Doncic (neck) will play in Wednesday's Game 5 against the Clippers.

As expected, Doncic is available Wednesday despite the neck strain that ailed him during Sunday's Game 4. With nearly three full days of rest, however, Doncic should be closer to 100 percent heading into Game 5. Even with the recent off-night, the 32-year-old is averaging 33.3 points, 8.3 rebounds and 8.3 assists in 38.5 minutes per game against the Clippers this series.

Doncic (neck) is listed as probable for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Clippers, Callie Caplan of the Dallas Morning News reports.

Doncic battled through a neck strain during Sunday's Game 4, and he was clearly hampered on his way to just 19 points on 9-of-24 shooting in 36 minutes. The Mavs said Doncic showed improvement on Monday, so the hope is that with another day off he'll be closer to 100 percent heading into an extremely pivotal Game 5. Through the first three games of the series, Doncic averaged 38.0 points, 9.0 assists, 8.7 rebounds, 1.0 steal, 1.0 block and 5.7 made three-pointers.

Doncic's neck strain is "improved Monday following the Game 4 loss to the Clippers on Sunday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

The 32-year-old began experiencing neck pain during Game 3 and struggled in Game 4 with 19 points (9-24 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 0-5 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one steal in 35 minutes. Doncic still has two days to rest up before Game 5, so he should at least have a chance to play Wednesday in Los Angeles.

Doncic registered 19 points (9-24 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 0-5 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Sunday's 106-81 win over the Mavericks.

Doncic not only struggled with his shot Sunday, but he missed all five of his attempts from the charity stripe during Sunday's loss. The 22-year-old came into Game 1 with neck pain, so that explains the off game. Before Sunday's game, he was averaging 38.0 points, 9.0 assists, 8.7 rebounds, 5.7 three-pointers, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks on 51.9 percent field-goal shooting. The third-year guard will look to bounce back in Game 5 on Wednesday.

Doncic (neck) is available for Sunday's Game 4 against the Clippers.

Doncic experienced pain in his neck during Friday's Game 3 loss, but there was continued optimism that he'd be able to suit up Sunday. The 22-year-old posted 44 points, nine rebounds and nine assists in 39 minutes Friday.

Doncic (neck) is expected to play in Game 4 against the Clippers on Sunday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Doncic's official listing on Saturday's injury report was "questionable," but it sounds like he will be available barring an unexpected turn of events. The 22-year-old exploded for 44 points in the Game 3 loss despite the apparent neck injury, so he should still be able to continue to produce at a high level.

Doncic is questionable for Sunday's Game 4 against the Clippers due to a cervical strain, Callie Caplan of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Doncic nearly recorded a triple-double in Friday's Game 3 loss, as he posted 44 points, nine rebounds and nine assists in 39 minutes. However, he said after the game that he was experiencing pain in his neck that extended to his left arm. If Doncic is held out Sunday, Trey Burke and Jalen Brunson could see increased run.

Doncic mustered 44 points (15-28 FG, 7-13 3Pt, 7-13 FT), nine rebounds, nine assists and a steal across 39 minutes in Friday's loss to the Clippers.

Doncic has surpassed the 30-point mark in his three appearances during the current series and has carried the team on both ends of the pitch. His struggles from the charity stripe have been noticeable, but that's the only negative aspect of the star guard, who has been absolutely dominant for the Mavericks in this postseason run.

Doncic finished with 39 points (16-29 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 2-7 FT), seven rebounds, seven assists, one steal and one block in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 127-121 victory over the Clippers.

Doncic did a bit of everything for the Mavericks as they took a commanding 2-0 series lead against the Clippers. Although he was his usual productive self, Doncic continues to struggle from the free-throw line, something he certainly needs to rectify moving forward. There are obviously no issues with his ability to run the offense and get his shot whenever he feels like it. However, come crunch time, teams are going to opt to foul him as opposed to letting him have his way on the offensive end. Something that could prove to be the difference should they go deep into the playoffs.

Doncic produced 31 points (11-24 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 4-7 FT), 11 assists, 10 rebounds, two blocked shots and a steal across 41 minutes in Saturday's 113-103 win over the Clippers.

Doncic put up two triple-doubles against the Clippers in last year's playoffs, only to fall short in six games. This time, it's the Mavs who grabbed the upper hand with a 1-0 lead after a masterful outing from Doncic, who got 54 additional points from his supporting cast in a stellar overall effort against the favored Clippers.

Doncic totaled 18 points (6-13 FG, 4-5 FT, 2-7 3Pt), six rebounds, six assists and two steals in 21 minutes during Sunday's 136-121 loss to the Timberwolves.

Doncic only played 21 minutes as the Mavericks were all but locked into the fifth seed. Last year, the 2018 third-overall pick averaged 31.0 points, 9.8 rebounds and 8.7 assists against the Clippers in the playoffs. The Clippers do have a somewhat revamped defense but expect Doncic to still get his during the upcoming rematch. In his last two regular-season matchups with the Clippers, Doncic averaged 33.5 points, 12.5 assists and 2.5 steals on 49.0 percent shooting from the field and 45.5 percent from three.

Doncic had 20 points (7-19 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 11 assists and 10 rebounds in Friday's win over the Raptors.

While Doncic had a rough night from beyond the arc, he made up for it with his passing and rebounding as he posted his second triple-double of the month. Doncic hit 7-of-15 three-point attempts against the Pelicans on Wednesday, but outside of that game he's mostly struggled from three-point range over the last two weeks. Prior to Wednesday, he was shooting just 27.7 percent from deep over his last seven games (6.7 3PA/G).

Doncic mustered 33 points (12-24 FG, 7-15 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and eight assists across 31 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Pelicans.

Doncic was coming off two down games where he failed to surpass the 15-point mark each time, but he bounced back admirably here -- he only needed 24 shots to record 33 points and also ended just two rebounds and two assists shy of a triple-double. The two down games were just steps in the wrong direction for Doncic, who's still averaging 25.5 points, 8.0 rebounds and 7.7 assists per game over his last 10 appearances.

Doncic had 12 points (4-16 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and five assists in Tuesday's blowout loss to Memphis.

Coming off of an ejection in Sunday's win over the Cavs, Doncic had one of his worst statistical games of the season, finishing with just 12 points in 26 minutes as the Mavs let the game get out of hand late in the third quarter. Doncic tied his season low in scoring and only got to the line four times -- his lowest number in any game since April 5. Doncic has now gone back-to-back games without a made three-pointer after hitting at least one in 48 straight appearances from Jan. 22 through May 7.

Doncic had 15 points (5-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-7 FT), five rebounds, five assists and two steals in 22 minutes before being ejected from Sunday's win over the Cavs.

While Doncic didn't return value for DFS players, he still managed a respectable line considering he was tossed from the game less than two minutes into the third quarter. Doncic was battling with Collin Sexton for rebounding position and appeared to contact Sexton with a blow to the groin area. After a review, Doncic was assessed a Flagrant-2 foul and ejected from he game. As of now, it's not clear if Doncic will face any additional discipline, but it's unlikely that he'll receive a suspension.

Doncic mustered 24 points (8-17 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 7-7 FT), eight rebounds, an assist and a block across 23 minutes in Friday's win over the Cavaliers.

Doncic's stat line might have looked below average -- for his standards -- at first glance, but it must be noted that he didn't even play an entire half of basketball throughout the entire game and still ended just two boards away from putting up a double-double. Doncic has scored 23 or more points in seven games in a row and is averaging 27.8 points per tilt since the beginning of April.

Doncic registered 24 points (7-22 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 5-10 FT), 10 rebounds, eight assists and two steals over 36 minutes in the 113-109 win Thursday over the Nets.

Doncic continues to light up the scoring column, topping 20 points in 20 of his last 21 outings while registering five double-doubles and one triple-double in that span. While Doncic is a box score filler, he also amasses a high turnover number, committing 19 over his last three games alone.

Doncic registered 23 points (8-15 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 2-5 FT), 12 rebounds and eight assists in 30 minutes during Tuesday's 127-113 win over the Heat.

The 22-year-old has been on a roll since missing Thursday's game due to a bruised elbow, averaging 28.0 points, 11.3 assists and 10.0 rebounds while shooting 51.7 percent from the field over his last three games. Doncic is averaging career highs in assists, three-pointers and field-goal percentage through 59 games this season. He should continue playing 30-plus minutes a game the rest of the way for the sixth-seeded Mavericks.

Doncic recorded 31 points (12-23 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 6-11 FT), 20 assists and 12 rebounds across 39 minutes in Saturday's win over the Wizards.

Doncic thrived on both ends of the court in this one and matched up well against Russell Westbrook, who also ended with a triple-double. Aside from putting up a season-high mark in assists, it's worth noting Doncic has also scored at least 30 points in five of his last seven games. He's averaging 28.4 points per game since the beginning of April.

Doncic (elbow) is off the injury report for Saturday's contest against the Wizards.

Doncic missed Thursday's game against the Pistons due to a bruised elbow he had been playing through. The time off apparently helped it heal.

Doncic (elbow) will not play Thursday against the Pistons.

Doncic will miss his first game since late March due to a left elbow contusion. Jalen Brunson and Trey Burke could see increased workloads Thursday with the All-Star guard on the sidelines.

Doncic (elbow) has been downgraded to doubtful for Thursday's contest against the Pistons.

Doncic has played through a bruised elbow across the past two games, but he's expected to take a day off Thursday. Assuming that's the case, Jalen Brunson and Trey Burke figure to see extra minutes.

Doncic (elbow) is questionable for Thursday's matchup against the Pistons, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Doncic has been playing through a bruised left elbow across the past two games. It hasn't slowed him down, as he averaged 31.5 points, 8.0 assists, 6.5 rebounds and 1.0 steals during that pair of contests. However, if he does sit out Thursday, more minutes would be available for Trey Burke and Jalen Brunson.

Doncic tallied 39 points (15-23 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 5-5 FT), eight assists, six rebounds and two steals across 28 minutes in a 133-103 trouncing of Golden State on Tuesday.

Doncic was questionable for the contest due to a bruised left elbow, but the injury appeared to have no effect on his shooting as he made 15 of 23 shots from the field, including four of 10 from beyond the arc. The point guard also made his usual contributions in other categories, tallying eight dimes and six boards, though he also turned the ball over seven times. Doncic has scored 30 or more points in four of his past six contests and is shooting a career-best 48.5 percent from the field on the season.

Doncic (elbow) is available for Tuesday's game against the Warriors, Callie Caplan of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Doncic was initially questionable due to a bruised left elbow, but he'll end up playing Tuesday. This month, Doncic has averaged 27.4 points, 8.3 assists and 7.5 rebounds in 35.6 minutes.

Doncic (elbow) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Warriors, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

Doncic has been dealing with a left elbow contusion lately, but hasn't had to miss any time. In Monday's loss to the Kings, he went for 24 points, eight assists and seven rebounds across 38 minutes of action. If he gets ruled out, Jalen Brunson could be looking at an increased workload.

Doncic (elbow) will play Monday against Sacramento, Eddie Sefko of the Mavericks' official site reports.

Doncic will be available Monday after he had been considered probable due to a bruised elbow. The 22-year-old has seen 36.5 minutes per game over the last five outings, and he should see a similar workload in Monday's game.

Doncic (elbow) has been upgraded to probable for Monday's game against the Kings.

The 22-year-old was initially considered questionable for Monday's contest due to a bruised elbow, but he's now on track to play in Sacramento. Doncic has averaged 27.4 points, 10.6 assists, 8.6 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 36.4 minutes over his past five games.

Doncic (elbow) is questionable for Monday's game against Sacramento, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Doncic appears to have picked up a left elbow bruise in Saturday's win over the Lakers, as he has a 50-50 chance to play in Monday's game. The 22-year-old hasn't missed a game since March 27, but he could potentially be sidelined Monday considering it's the front end of a back-to-back.

Doncic finished Saturday's 108-93 win over the Lakers with 18 points (6-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 13 assists and eight rebounds over 39 minutes.

The scoring output was Doncic's lowest since March 24, but the superstar point guard still made his mark in the contest with a game-high 13 assists. Doncic also turned the ball over six times and ranks second-worst in the NBA with 4.3 turnovers per game, but he more than makes up for that weak point with season per-game averages of 28.5 points, 8.8 assists, 8.0 boards and 1.0 steals.

Doncic tallied 30 points (9-21 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 9-11 FT), nine rebounds, eight assists and three steals Thursday in a 115-110 win over the Lakers.

Doncic led the Mavericks in points, boards and dimes in the victory and tied for the team lead in steals. The superstar guard has scored at least 30 points in three straight contests, matching his longest such streak this season. With per-game averages of 28.6 points, 8.7 assists, 8.0 rebounds, 3.0 three-pointers and 1.0 steals, Doncic ranks among the league's elite performers and is one of fantasy's greatest contributors.

Doncic posted 30 points (10-22 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 6-10 FT), 10 rebounds, nine assists and two steals in Wednesday's win over Detroit.

It was another outstanding fantasy performance from Doncic, who's now topped 30 points in three of his last five games. He fell just one assist short of what would've been his first triple-double since March 15.

Doncic had 37 points (14-27 FG, 4-13 3Pt, 5-10 FT), eight rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one steal in 36 minutes during Sunday's 121-107 loss to the Kings.

Doncic put the Mavericks on his back but was unable to get them across the line in what was a disappointing loss. The four defensive stats are certainly a welcome surprise for those invested in Doncic; however, his free throw shooting continues to be a question mark. The Mavericks currently occupy the seventh seed in the West and they would absolutely love to jump into the top-6, if possible. As long as Doncic is healthy, he should continue putting up some gaudy numbers the rest of the way.

Doncic finished Friday's loss to the Knicks with 22 points (7-16 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 6-10 FT), 19 assists and eight rebounds over 38 minutes.

Doncic tied his career high with 19 dimes after failing to register double-digit assists in 14 straight contests. He also fell just two boards shy of a triple-double. The superstar point guard continues to post elite numbers on a near-nightly basis and is averaging 28.4 points, 8.8 assists, 7.9 rebounds and 3.0 three-pointers in his third NBA season.

Doncic recorded 29 points (10-20 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 6-9 FT), nine assists, five rebounds, two steals and one block in Wednesday's win over Memphis.

Three of Doncic's 29 total points came unorthodoxly, as Doncic put up a wild shot at the buzzer with the Mavs down two with 1.8 seconds left and drained it. Moreover, it was the guard's fourth straight contest reaching the 27-point mark despite continuing to struggle from three. Over this past five outings, Doncic is shooting just 26.2 percent from deep which is well below his season average of 36.6 percent.

Doncic went for 32 points (10-20 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 10-11 FT), four rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 33 minutes Monday during the loss to the 76ers.

Though Doncic registered his 19th 30-point performance on the season, he was visibly frustrated after banking in a triple because of two airballs on previous shots. He has now gone 13 straight games without a double-double or triple-double, the longest such streak since doing so in 15 straight contests to start his career.

Doncic mustered 29 points (10-17 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 7-8 FT), seven assists, three rebounds and a steal across 35 minutes in Sunday's loss against the Spurs.

Doncic ended three dimes away from a double-double, and while the 29 points are a strong performance in all formats, Doncic failed to deliver the eye-popping stats he has often posted all season long. For what is worth, Doncic has now gone 12 straight games without a double-double -- though he has regularly supplemented his elite scoring efforts with strong rebounding and passing stats.

Doncic registered 27 points (11-20 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-5 FT), nine rebounds, nine assists and one block in 36 minutes during Thursday's win over the Bucks.

The 22-year-old was a rebound and an assist away from his 10th triple-double of the season. Doncic has been on a roll over his seven games since returning from a back injury and non-COVID illness, as he's averaged 27.7 points, 7.7 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 3.6 three-pointers in that span. The third-year guard should continue starting and playing 35-40 minutes per game the rest of the way for the seventh-seeded Mavericks.

Doncic had 23 points (9-26 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 4-5 FT), nine rebounds, five assists, a steal and a block across 37 minutes in Wednesday's loss against the Rockets.

Doncic might have ended just one rebound shy of putting up a double-double while recording his sixth straight game with 20-plus points, but he had a woeful shooting performance -- he made just one of his nine three-point attempts and registered more shots attempted than points scored. Those shooting woes aren't common for Doncic and he should bounce back sooner than later, but perhaps the most impressive thing about him is that he can deliver a subpar shooting performance but still finds a way to produce value across the board.

Doncic recorded 26 points (11-23 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-4 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists and one steal Friday in a 99-86 win at New York.

New York's defense did a great job limiting Doncic until the fourth quarter. He finished it with 13 points on 6-of-11 shooting as Dallas torched New York on both ends. Doncic's usage makes him a formidable player no matter who he plays. However, Doncic's average of 5.0 turnovers across his past eight games could still be improved upon.

Doncic posted 36 points (11-15 FG, 7-11 3Pt, 7-11 FT), eight rebounds and five assists in Wednesday's win over Boston.

Dallas nearly blew a huge first-half lead, but the Mavs were able to hold on behind another monster night from their All-Star guard. Doncic was on fire from three-point range in the first half, and his seven total threes were his second-most in any game this season. Fantasy-wise, the only drawback were Doncic's eight turnovers, which tied a season high.

Doncic recorded 25 points (9-17 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 3=4 FT), seven assists, three rebounds and two steals across 28 minutes in Monday's 127-106 win over the Thunder.

Doncic showed no ill effects from the back injury and non-COVID illness that kept him out of action last weekend. Although he didn't post his typical numbers, the All-Star's services weren't required in this convincing win. He only played 28 minutes, which is his fourth-lowest total of the season.

Doncic (back, illness) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Monday's game against Oklahoma City, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

A back injury and an illness have kept Doncic sidelined for the last two games, but it looks like he will return Monday. The return of the 22-year-old All-Star would send Jalen Brunson back to a bench role. Doncic had scored at least 35 points in three of his last four games prior to being sidelined.

Doncic (back, illness) is out Saturday against the Pelicans, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Doncic was initially questionable due to a back injury, but now he's also dealing with a non-COVID illness that will ultimately prevent him from playing. In his absence, Jalen Brunson should draw another start.

Doncic (back) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Pelicans.

Doncic sat out Friday's loss to the Pacers with back soreness, but he could return Saturday. That said, if he's out again, look for Jalen Brunson to draw another start.

Doncic (back) will not play in Friday's matchup with the Pacers, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

No surprise here, as the Mavericks listed Doncic as doubtful heading into the evening. The team remains hopeful he will be able to return Saturday versus the Pelicans. In his absence, look for some combination of Jalen Brunson, Trey Burke and Josh Richardson to take on more playmaking responsibilities.

Doncic is doubtful for Friday's contest against the Pacers due to lower back tightness.

Doncic is likely to miss his fourth game of the season and his first since March 11. Assuming he's sidelined, Jalen Brunson, Trey Burke and Josh Richardson should take on more playmaking responsibilities.

Doncic scored 15 points (6-16 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT) with four rebounds, four assists one steal and one block in a 128-108 victory over the Timberwolves on Wednesday.

Doncic had an uncharacteristically bad game by his standards in the team's blowout win. The guard had a terrible first quarter, as he missed all four of his shot attempts and had three turnovers. The second quarter wasn't much better, but he was able to turn it around a bit in the second half, scoring 10 points in just 12 minutes with the Mavericks having a solid fourth-quarter lead. Doncic had been incredible in his first six games since returning from the All-Star break, averaging 30.8 points, 10.3 assists and 8.2 rebounds per game prior to Wednesday's contest. Look for him to get back on track Friday against the Pacers.

Doncic tallied 37 points (13-19 FG, 8-9 3Pt, 3-6 FT), seven rebounds and four assists in Sunday's 132-92 win over Portland.

Doncic's stat line could have been even more impressive, but he sat out the fourth quarter as Dallas cruised to an easy win. The talented point guard was scorching from deep in the contest, drilling his first eight three-point attempts and finishing 8-of-9 from beyond the arc. Amid all of his other impressive stats this season, Doncic is shooting a career-best 37.1 percent from three-point range.

Doncic collected 38 points (15-27 FG, 4-13 3Pt, 4-5 FT), nine rebounds, nine assists and one steal Friday in a 125-119 loss to the Trail Blazers.

The Mavericks suffered an unfortunate loss, though it cannot be attributed to Doncic's play. Doncic fell only one rebound or assist short from a double-double and could have earned a triple-double had he recorded double figures in both. Doncic's 38 points also marked his best scoring tally on the road this season. Doncic will look to replicate that success in a rematch Sunday at Portland.

Doncic had 42 points (16-28 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 4-5 FT), nine assists, six rebounds, three steals and two blocks in Wednesday's win over the Clippers.t

Doncic fell four points short of his season high, but he topped 40 points for the fourth time and added excellent complementary stats to finish with one of his best fantasy outings of the campaign. In four games since the All-Star break, Doncic has racked up 49 assists and 15 made three-pointers.

Doncic posted 25 points (9-23, FG, 4-11 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 16 assists, 10 rebounds and two steals across 38 minutes in Monday's 109-99 loss to the Clippers.

Doncic's 25 points led the Mavericks, although the Clippers were able to force some mistakes from the All-Star. He turned the ball over seven times in the loss, three more than his usual average. He''ll try to rectify that issue Wednesday when he faces the Clippers again in the second half of the two-game tilt.

Doncic recorded 21 points (7-16 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 12 assists and five rebounds Saturday in a 116-103 win at Denver.

Doncic now owns 18 double-doubles across his 34 games played this season. The Mavs have won their past eight matchups in which he has achieved said feat. Doncic excelled more than usual with averages of 31.3 points, 11.0 assists and 8.8 rebounds across that eight-game span.

Doncic is not listed on the Mavs' injury report ahead of Saturday's game versus Denver.

Dallas held Doncic out of Thursday's matchup against OKC on the second night of a back-to-back, but all indications are that his absence was simply precautionary. Expect the MVP candidate to return to the mix Saturday night. In Wednesday's win over San Antonio, Doncic posted 22 points, 12 rebounds and 12 assists in 39 minutes.

Doncic (ankle) is listed as out for Thursday's game against Oklahoma City.

The Mavs begin the second half with a back-to-back set, so they'll hold both Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis (knee) out of action Thursday after both played heavy minutes in Wednesday night's win over the Spurs. Expect Doncic and Porzingis to return to action for Saturday's game in Denver.

Doncic (back) started and played 32 minutes for Team LeBron in a 170-150 win over Team Durant in Sunday's NBA All-Star Game. He finished with eight points (3-7 FG, 2-6 3Pt), eight assists and three rebounds.

Doncic missed the Mavericks' final game of the first half March 3 against the Thunder due to a back issue, but the injury never appeared to threaten his availability for the All-Star Game. Though he led his team in minutes, Doncic was unusually passive during his time on the court, as Giannis Antetokounmpo (35 points) and Damian Lillard (32 points) led the way in the scoring column, while Chris Paul (16 assists) served as Team LeBron's top passer. Regardless, the fact that Doncic was able to play in the exhibition should clear up any concern fantasy managers may have had about his health heading into the second half of the season.

Doncic (back) won't play Wednesday against the Thunder, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

The 22-year-old was downgraded from questionable to doubtful earlier in the day, so it's not a surprised to ultimately see him ruled out. Coach Rick Carlisle said Doncic has been battling the tightness in his lower back for a couple weeks, so he'll get some extra rest heading into the All-Star break. Trey Burke and Jalen Brunson should handle the bulk of the point duties for the Mavericks in his absence.

Doncic (back) has been downgraded to doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Thunder.

Doncic is dealing with tightness in his lower back, and it looks like the Mavs may play it safe and hold the superstar out of their final game before the All-Star break. If that's ultimately the case, both Trey Burke and Jalen Brunson would be among the beneficiaries.

Doncic is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Thunder due to low back tightness.

Doncic continues to carry an extreme workload for the Mavericks, and he may sit out for the team's final game before the All-Star break. If Doncic ends up sidelined, expect Jalen Brunson and Trey Burke to see expanded roles.

Doncic had 33 points (12-22 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 10 rebounds and nine assists across 37 minutes in Monday's win over the Magic.

Doncic recorded his third double-double over his last seven appearances after a couple of subpar performances -- according to his standards -- and ended just one assist shy of putting up his eighth triple-double of the season. Doncic continues to be a fantasy stud in all formats and has scored 30-plus points in four of his last seven contests.

Doncic compiled 27 points (11-21 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 2-6 FT), seven assists, six rebounds and two steals across 34 minutes in Saturday''s 115-98 win over the Nets.

The Mavericks shut down James Harden and the Nets in the second half, and Doncic provided the offensive engine to end their losing streak. Doncic can sometimes be turnover-prone, but he kept his mistakes to a minimum and only coughed up the ball once. Overall it was a nice bounce-back game for the All-Stae after an off game against the Sixers.

Doncic went for 19 points (6-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-6 FT), four assists, three rebounds and three blocks across 29 minutes in Thursday's loss to the 76ers.

Thursday was the first time this season that Doncic failed to dish out at least five assists and his three rebounds were his second-lowest total this season. Though the Mavs had Wednesday off, Doncic's 13 shots were significantly less than his 41 combined shots he took Monday and Tuesday. Thursday also marked the third time this month that Doncic had turned the ball over seven times in a game.

Doncic finished with 31 points (11-23 FG, 6-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 10 rebounds, eight assists and a steal across 38 minutes in Tuesday's win over the Celtics.

Doncic not only led the Mavericks to victory Tuesday, but he did it in style -- he drained a go-ahead three-pointer late in the fourth quarter before drilling the winning shot from deep with only 0.1 seconds left on the clock. Aside from coming up in the clutch for the Mavericks, Doncic ended just two assists shy of another triple-double and also scored 30 or more points for the third time over his last four appearances. In fact, he has scored 20-plus points in 15 straight games.

Doncic registered 21 points (8-18 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 2-9 FT), seven rebounds, five assists, two steals and a block across 33 minutes in Monday's win over the Grizzlies.

It was business as usual for Doncic against the Grizzlies, as he contributed on both ends of the court while surpassing the 20-point mark for the 15th straight game. He "only" has four double-doubles and two triple-doubles in that span, and this might have been a subpar performance by some standards, but the star guard remains one of the best all-around fantasy assets this season.

Doncic and the Mavericks will not play the Rockets on Friday as the game has been postponed, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Due to severe weather in Texas, the Mavericks will have a second straight game postponed. Doncic's next chance to take the floor is Monday against the Grizzlies. However, that game is also in Texas.

Doncic and the Mavericks won't play Wednesday after their game was postponed due to severe weather in Texas, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Doncic and the Mavericks will be off until Friday's game against the Rockets due to the state's response to inclement weather. The 21-year-old guard will be coming off back-to-back 40-point outings when he suits up Friday.

Doncic registered 44 points (14-20 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 11-12 FT), nine assists and seven rebounds across 36 minutes in Sunday's loss against the Trail Blazers.

Doncic has been on fire in recent games and the numbers back him up, as the star point guard has scored 40-plus points in three of his last five contests while also putting up 25 or more points in 14 consecutive games -- he also has four double-doubles and two triple-doubles in that span. In short, Doncic has been unstoppable of late.

Doncic went off for 46 points (17-30 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 7-9 FT) while adding 12 assists, eight rebounds, a steal and a block across 40 minutes in Friday's win over the Pelicans.

Doncic ended just two rebounds away from notching what would've been his eighth triple-double of the season -- and the 33rd of his career. The star guard is enjoying another stellar year as Dallas' main offensive threat and remains an elite fantasy asset due to his ability to stuff the stat sheet on a nightly basis while also displaying excellent scoring ability. He has scored at least 25 points in 13 straight contests while topping the 40-point plateau in two of his last four appearances.

Doncic scored 28 points (9-18 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 8-10 FT) to go along with 10 rebounds, 10 assists, one steal and two blocks across 37 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Hawks.

Doncic recorded the 32nd triple-double of his career and his seventh of the campaign. His scoring was powered by an improvement in his shot, as he entered the contest having connected on only 42.3 percent from the field across his last five games. His stellar contributions across the rest of the box score are nothing new, and he's notched at least one steal in five consecutive performances while reaching double-digit assists on three occasions in that span. Further enhancing Doncic's fantasy value is his improved 78.8 free-throw percentage.

Doncic recorded 42 points (12-23 FG, 7-12 3Pt, 11-14 FT), 11 assists, seven rebounds and one steal Saturday in a 134-132 win over Golden State.

Doncic came through with his highest points tally of the season two days after a blowout loss to this same Warriors team. His 11 assists led to 27 more points, meaning he was a direct contributor to 69 of the Mavericks' 134 that they tallied (51.5 percent of their points). Doncic has been productive as ever with averages of 27.8 points and 9.5 assists across 24 games this season. Unfortunately, those stats have been good enough to keep the Mavs afloat with a 10-14 record.

Doncic collected 27 points (8-20 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 8-9 FT), six rebounds, six assists and one steal in a 147-116 loss to Golden State on Thursday.

Doncic continued his strong all-around play on Thursday, but it wasn't enough to pull out a victory. The former All-Star scored 23 points in the first half as the Mavericks led by two at the break. The Warriors did a better job defensively in the second half on Doncic and the rest of the Mavericks, holding them to only 40 second half points. Doncic will look to continue his MVP-caliber season Saturday in a rematch with Golden State.

Doncic scored 27 points (8-20 FG, 1-5 3PT, 10-10 FT) to go along with eight rebounds, 14 assists, two steals and one block across 38 minutes in Wednesday's win over the Hawks.

Doncic was the driving force behind the Mavericks' offense, as he posted a 31.2 percent usage rate. From a scoring perspective, Doncic continued to knock down his free-throws, and he's now combined to convert 20 of 21 attempts from the charity stripe across the last two games. As a result, his free-throw percentage has increased to 78.3 percent -- the highest mark of his career by 2.5 percentage points.

Doncic scored 25 points (7-19 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 10-11 FT) while adding eight assists, five rebounds, two steals and two blocks across 38 minutes in Monday's loss against the Suns.

Doncic has gone four straight games without a double-double, but he has scored at least 25 points in each one of those contests. In fact, Doncic has reached the 25-point mark in seven straight appearances, and he has had no fault in Dallas' ongoing six-game losing run. One of the most versatile players in the league, Doncic should deliver elite numbers on most nights and should remain a must-start player across all formats going forward.

Doncic generated 29 points (12-22 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT), eight rebounds and seven assists across 33 minutes in Saturday's 111-105 loss to the Suns.

Doncic keeps putting up excellent numbers, but the Mavericks can't seem to seal up a win. Saturday marked their fifth-straight loss, but you can't place the blame on Doncic. He's averaged 29 points, 8.8 assists and 6.8 rebounds during this losing streak. While the team's fortunes are in flux, Doncic will be a top performer whenever Dallas is on the slate.

Doncic totaled 25 points (8-17 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 7-10 FT), six rebounds and seven assists across 32 minutes in a loss to Utah on Friday.

While Doncic fell short of extending a two-game streak of scoring 30-plus points, he was the Mavericks' leading scorer by a considerable margin -- no other Dallas player scored more than 13 on a night when Mavs starters other than Doncic combined to go 12-for-36 (33.3 percent) from the field. The third-year guard also unsurprisingly paced the team with seven assists and converted multiple treys for the fourth time his last five games. Doncic's all-around excellence has cemented his status as one of fantasy's elite performers, as he is posting per-game averages of 27.3 points, 9.2 boards and 9.6 assists on the season.

Doncic tallied 35 points (11-23 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 10-10 FT), 16 assists, 11 rebounds, four steals and one block across 39 minutes in Monday's 117-113 loss to the Nuggets.

The high scoring and triple-double production have been fairly standard for Doncic, but he was able to supplement an already stellar line with defensive stats and excellent free-throw shooting. His perfect showing from the charity stripe in particular was a welcome sight, after a 7-for-12 effort in Saturday's loss to the Rockets dropped him to 74.6 percent for the season. Doncic's so-so free-throw shooting will make it difficult for him to finish as a top-five option in eight- or nine-category leagues, but his stat sheet-stuffing performances should allow him to make a push for the No. 1 spot in points leagues.

Doncic produced 26 points (9-18 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 7-12 FT), eight assists, five rebounds and a blocked shot across 29 minutes in Saturday's 133-108 loss to the Rockets.

Doncic saw his third-fewest minute total of the season Saturday. With the game turning swiftly into a blowout, Doncic was pulled and was absent for the last quarter of the game, severely compromising his output for the evening. While many speculated that the absence of Christian Wood and Victor Oladipoi would give the Mavericks a competitive edge, t never materialized. Until they get their normal rotation back, Doncic's production may fluctuate more than usual.

Doncic recorded (13-28 FG, 4-12 3PT, 6-6 FT), nine rebounds and 11 assists in 36 minutes during the 122-117 win over San Antonio on Friday.

Doncic once again went crazy in the win Friday. The guard has been an absolute force since he was drafted by Dallas and is by far the man of Dallas. Doncic provides in all aspects of the game and just fell short of another triple-double this season. He also just missed out on surpassing his season-high in points (38). He is certainly matchup-proof and will always be viable.

Doncic totaled 13 points (5-15 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds, 11 assists and one block over 36 minutes in Wednesday's 124-112 victory over the Pacers.

Doncic now has five triple-doubles on the season, all recorded within the last eight games. While he continues to fill the stat sheet, his shooting has been less than stellar. Over his last three games, Doncic is shooting only 37.6 percent from the floor and 18.1 percent from beyond the arc.

Doncic had 15 points (4-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 7-8 FT), nine assists and seven rebounds in Monday's 116-93 loss to the Raptors.

Doncic's 15 points on 11 field-goal attempts were both his lowest since Dec. 30 versus Charlotte (12 points, 4-10 FG). With Doncic held in check, the Mavericks suffered one of their biggest defeats Monday. Both parties will look to construct a better collective effort when they face Indiana on Wednesday.

Doncic produced 36 points (13-30 FG, 6-11 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 16 rebounds, 15 assists and two steals across 38 minutes in Sunday's 117-101 loss to the Bulls.

Doncic faced an uphill battle with five players sidelined on Sunday, but he put the team on his back and kept the game competitive until the fourth quarter. The youngster leapfrogged Michael Jordan on the All-Time triple-double rankings with his 29th hat trick and recorded his best performance of the year from long range with six threes.

Doncic went for 28 points (12-24 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 3-7 FT), 13 assists and nine rebounds over 36 minutes in Friday's 112-109 loss to the Bucks.

Doncic has fallen either one rebound or one assist shy of a triple-double in three of his last four games. The one down side to his game has been turnovers, committing three or more in seven straight games.

Doncic dropped 34 points (14-25 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 13 rebounds, nine assists, four blocks and two steals across 35 minutes in Wednesday's 104-93 win over the Hornets.

Doncic has alternated double-doubles and triple-doubles over his last five games after failing to record either in the first four. In five 2021 games, Doncic is averaging 30.4 points, 12.6 rebounds and 10 assists per game.

Monday's matchup for Doncic between the Mavs and Pelicans has been postponed, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

The Mavs have dealt with COVID-related issues in recent days, and they reportedly do not have the requisite eight players in order for Monday's game to be played. At this time, it's unclear whether Wednesday's Mavericks-Hornets game is in jeopardy of being postponed, as well.

Doncic went for 20 points (7-20 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 3-3 FT) 11 rebounds, 10 assists, two blocks and one steal over 35 minutes Saturday night in the 112-98 over the Magic.

Doncic has now alternated double-doubles and triple-doubles over his last four games after failing to record either in his first four games. He has also put up 10 or more assists now in three consecutive games. One major concern however, has been turnovers. Doncic has now turned the ball over at least five times over his last four outings.

Doncic generated 38 points (13-22 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 10-15 FT), 13 assists, nine rebounds, four steals and a blocked shot across 43 minutes in Thursday's 124-117 overtime win over the Nuggets.

Just one more rebound would have sealed Doncic's second-straight triple-double. Although he coughed up the ball eight times, he more than made up for that statistical blemish with an outstanding game. Doncic and Nikola Jokic both turned in great MVP resume-builders in the contest.

Doncic generated 33 points (12-25 FG, 3-10 3pt, 6-6 FT), 16 rebounds and 11 assists across 38 minutes in Monday's 113-100 win over the Rockets.

Doncic turned in a brilliant game after missing a game due to a quad injury. He showed no ill effects and recorded his first triple-double of the season. Doncic recorded 19 triple-doubles during the abbreviated 2019-20 campaign, and he will likely eclipse that number before the season is over if he stays healthy.

Doncic (quadriceps) is available for Monday's game at Houston.

The 21-year-old was considered questionable with the bruised quad, but he'll return to action after missing Sunday's loss to the Bulls. Doncic is averaging 24.4 points, 7.6 rebounds, and 6.4 assists in 31.2 minutes this season, though he's only averaging 16.1 percent on three-point attempts.

Doncic (quad) is listed as probable for Monday's game against Houston.

After sitting out Sunday's loss to the Bulls with a bruised quad, the expectation is that Doncic will be back in the lineup Monday. He may not be quite 100 percent, but the Mavs will need a big night from the MVP candidate to keep up with a Rockets team that will get James Harden (ankle) back from a minor injury off is own. Through five games, Doncic is averaging 24.4 points per game and shooting just 16.1 percent from three (5-31 3PT).

Doncic (quad) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Bulls, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

After moving from questionable to doubtful earlier in the day, Doncic has now been ruled out as he deals with a bruised left quad. The issue shouldn't lead to an extended absence, but it's possible he could miss multiple games with the Mavs playing on the front end of a back-to-back. Expect Jalen Brunson and Trey Burke to pick up more minutes in Doncic's absence.

Doncic (quadriceps) was downgraded from questionable to doubtful for Sunday's game at Chicago, Mark Followill of Fox Sports Southwest reports.

The 21-year-old picked up the left quad bruise during Friday's win over Miami, and it appears he'll miss at least one game as a result. Jalen Brunson and Trey Burke should see increased run for the Mavericks with Doncic likely unavailable.

Doncic is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bulls due to a left quadriceps contusion, Dorothy J. Gentry of The Athletic reports.

Doncic has emerged from Friday's win over the Heat with a bruised quad, though he put together an excellent effort, posting 27 points, 15 boards, seven dimes and one block. If he ends up missing Sunday's game, Jalen Brunson and Trey Burke would presumably see extra run.

Doncic recorded 27 points (9-22 FG, 3-10 3PT, 6-9 FT), 15 rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 36 minutes in the 93-83 win over Miami on Friday.

Doncic was underwhelming in the shooting department during the win Friday. Dallas has struggled to start the season and it is due to their key players not finding success on the floor. Luckily for Doncic, Miami also had their struggles and gave the guard a break. He surely is not known for shooting struggles and is one of the top guards in the league in most categories. Doncic will always get points, rebounds and assists, leading to at least a double-double most nights. No matter what he will continue to be the man moving forward.

Doncic registered 12 points (4-10 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 4-7 FT), two rebounds, five assists and two steals across 24 minutes in Wednesday's loss against the Hornets.

Doncic had a tough day from the field, missing his five three-point attempts on route to a season-low 12 points in a game where the Mavericks offense completely sputtered -- they only shot 39.1 percent from the field and 28.6 percent from three-point range as a team. Doncic is not expected to struggle for a prolonged amount of time, however, and he will attempt to bounce back as soon as Friday against the Heat.

Doncic had 24 points (8-18 FG, 0-5 3PT, 8-9 FT), nine rebounds and eight assists in Sunday's blowout win over the Clippers.

The game got away from the Clippers early on and the Mavs built the biggest halftime lead in the shot block era, holding a 77-27 advantage at the break. As a result, Doncic saw a reduced workload, but he still nearly posted a triple-double. Overall, it's been a fine start to the season for Doncic, though he's just 2-of-16 from three-point range.

Doncic totaled 27 points (9-19 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-8 FT), seven assists, four rebounds and one block in Friday's 138-115 loss to the Lakers.

Doncic made just three of his 10 first-half field-goal attempts but started off hot in the third quarter to approach a more typical line for him. The 21-year-old also led the Mavericks in assists for the second time in a row, while coming just one rebound shy of a share of the team lead. He'll look to lead Dallas to its first victory of the season Sunday against the Clippers.

Doncic had 32 points (11-26 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 10-12 FT), eight rebounds and five assists during Wednesday's 106-102 loss to Phoenix.

Doncic had a rather off-night shooting the ball, missing all outside shots and his first six to begin this game. He regrouped to lead the Mavericks in points, rebounds and assists but fell short in the end. Doncic will have to carry the load with Kristaps Porzingis out for a few weeks, giving him several games to potentially pad his stats.

Doncic scored 20 points (6-18 FG, 0-6 3PT, 8-9 FT), had five rebounds, and seven assists in 27 minutes of Thursday's 129-127 preseason loss to Minnesota.

It says a lot about Doncic that he could drop a team-high 20 points while shooting just 33% from the floor and missing all six three pointers he took. The guard was buoyed by an 8-for-9 showing from the line while also pacing Dallas with seven assists in the contest. Doncic will remain the focal point for the Mavs this season and is a stud fantasy option in the first round.

Doncic recorded 27 points (9-20 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 6-10 FT), eight rebounds and four assists over 29 minutes during Monday's preseason win over the Bucks.

Doncic outdueled Giannis Antetokounmpo in a preseason battle of MVP candidates, and the Slovenian playmaker continues to show signs of improvement ahead of his third year in The Association. Doncic was one of the best fantasy performers last season and he shouldn't slow down ahead of the upcoming campaign, where he is expected to be a top-notch contributor across all formats once again.

Doncic put up 13 points (5-13 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 0-0 FT), four assists and two rebounds in 16 minutes of Saturday's 112-102 preseason win over Milwaukee.

It was a strong debut for Doncic, who led the team in field goals, three-pointers and assists. After averaging 28.8 points, 9.4 rebounds and 8.8 assists last season, the sky is the limit for the 21-year-old.

Doncic totaled 38 points (15-28 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 4-8 FT), nine rebounds, nine assists and one steal in 42 minutes during Sunday's 111-97 loss to the Clippers.

Doncic went down swinging as the Mavericks were bundled out of the playoffs. Despite playing injured, Doncic was arguably the best player in the series and he has certainly built his stock when it comes to fantasy value next season. His free-throw shooting remains a concern but that is absolutely something that could improve over time. If you have your eye on him for next season, you are likely to have to part with a top-5 selection to secure his services.

Doncic (ankle) will play in Sunday's Game 6 against the Clippers, Callie Caplan of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Doncic has been nursing a left ankle sprain since Game 3 of the series but has fought through it and hasn't missed a game. That steak will now continue past Sunday. Across the first five games playoff games against the Clippers, Doncic is averaging 29.6 points, 10.0 reboudns and 8.6 assists in 34.4 minutes.

Doncic (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's Game 6 against the Clippers.

Despite extra time off due to postponements, Doncic remains questionable for a crucial Game 6 against the Clippers, as the Mavericks are down 3-2 without the services of Kristaps Porzingis (knee). In the series, Doncic is averaging 29.6 points, 10.0 rebounds, 8.6 assists and 1.2 steals in 34.4 minutes.

Thursday's Game 6 between the Mavericks and the Clippers has been postponed, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

No NBA games were played Wednesday, and the league has opted to postpone Thursday's contests as well following the shooting of Jacob Blake. The players, however, have voted to ultimately resume the playoffs.

Doncic (ankle) is considered questionable for Thursday's Game 6 against the Clippers, Callie Caplan of the Dallas Morning News reports.

The designation is likely precautionary, though it's worth noting that Doncic was listed as probable entering Tuesday's Game 5, which resulted in a blowout loss for the Mavs. Doncic finished that contest with 22 points on just 6-of-17 shooting, while adding eight rebounds, four assists and a block in 31 minutes.

Doncic (ankle) is available for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Clippers.

As expected, Doncic will play in a second straight game following an ankle injury suffered in Game 3. In the series, he's averaging 31.5 points, 10.5 rebounds, 9.8 assists and 1.5 steals across 35.3 minutes.

Doncic (ankle) is listed as probable for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Clippers, Brad Townsend of the Dallas Morning News reports.

After spraining the ankle during Game 3, Doncic entered Sunday's Game 4 with a questionable designation. He ultimately played through the ailment and had perhaps the defining performance of his career, thus far, finishing with 43 points, 17 rebounds, and 13 assists, in addition to drilling the game-winning three-pointer over Reggie Jackson at the buzzer. With only one day between games, Doncic likely won't be at 100 percent, but if Sunday was any indication, he can still be plenty productive with a balky ankle.

Doncic (ankle) racked up 43 points (18-31 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 3-5 FT), 17 rebounds, 13 assists, two steals and one block in 46 minutes during Sunday's 135-133 overtime win against the Clippers.

Doncic (ankle) had been listed as a game-time decision and was seen grimacing at times but nevertheless dominated. He was unstoppable offensively, turning in his second consecutive triple-double and splashing the game-winning step-back three-pointer as time expired. He will look to provide another superb performance in Tuesday's extremely important Game 5.

Doncic (knee) will be available to play Sunday in Game 4 of the Mavericks' Western Conference quarterfinals series with the Clippers.

Deemed a game-time decision after spraining his left ankle in the third quarter of Friday's Game 3 loss, Doncic was apparently able to get the green light from the Mavs' medical staff when he was re-evaluated shortly before Sunday's 3:30 p.m. tipoff. Though Doncic will likely be playing at less than 100 percent, his availability in any capacity will be a huge boon for the Mavericks, who are trailing 2-1 in the series. Through his 10 games in the Orlando bubble, Doncic is averaging 29.3 points, 9.6 rebounds, 9.4 assists and 2.2 treys in 34.4 minutes per game while shooting 48 percent from the field.

Doncic (ankle) is expected to be a game-time decision for Sunday's game against the Clippers, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

Doncic is receiving treatment for the injury Saturday but will not do any on-court work. His MRI has been delayed as well since there is an issue with the machine. Should Doncic have to sit out, look for some combination of Trey Burke, Seth Curry, Delon Wright and J.J. Barea to take on point guard duties for the Mavericks.

The Mavericks have officially listed Doncic (ankle) as questionable for Sunday's Game 4 against the Clippers, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

Doncic went down late in the third quarter after stumbling while guarding Kawhi Leonard. He attempted to return after taping up his ankle but ultimately went back to the locker room and did not return. He is set to undergo an MRI on Saturday, which will help bring some clarity to the situation. At this point his status for Sunday's Game 4 is clearly up in the air. Should he have to sit out, look for some combination of Trey Burke, Seth Curry, Delon Wright and J.J. Barea to take on point guard duties for the Mavericks.

Doncic is slated to undergo an MRI on Saturday after he exited the Mavericks' 130-122 loss to the Clippers on Friday with a sprained left ankle, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

Doncic suffered the injury with just under four minutes remaining in the third quarter, when he stumbled on the ankle while guarding Clippers star Kawhi Leonard. The 21-year-old then returned in the fourth quarter after getting the ankle taped up, but he was clearly limited by the injury and didn't play in the final nine minutes of the contest. Doncic had previously missed 11 games this season due to two right ankle sprains, but the Mavericks will await the results of the MRI before determining his status in advance of Sunday's Game 4 matchup with the Clippers. Trey Burke and Jalen Brunson would likely fill most of the minutes at point guard if Doncic is unable to go.

Doncic will not return to Friday's game against the Clippers due to a left ankle sprain.

Doncic tried returning to the game after spraining his left ankle, but ultimately returned to the locker room. Expect an update when the Mavericks provide an update on his status.

Doncic finished with 28 points (8-17 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 8-12 FT), eight rebounds and seven assists in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 127-114 victory over the Clippers.

Doncic was back at it Wednesday, leading the Mavericks to an impressive Game 2 victory. Foul issues restricted him to only 28 minutes, however, he still managed to flirt with a triple-double. Doncic is simply amazing at this point and certainly has the Mavericks ready to fight. From a fantasy perspective, those keen on securing his services next season will undoubtedly have to part with a high first-round pick.

Doncic provided 42 points (13-21 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 14-15 FT), nine assists, seven rebounds and three steals across 38 minutes in Monday's 118-110 loss to the Clippers in the first round of the NBA Playoffs.

Doncic set a record for the most points by a player in his first postseason game. While he did a little bit of everything in this contest, he also provided a solid blemish to his stat line. He committed a career-high 11 turnovers in the loss, courtesy of an oppressive showing by the Clippers defense. He'll need to repress that number in their next matchup, and he'll be aided by a full game from Kristaps Porzingis, who only logged 19 minutes before his eventual ejection.

Doncic was named to the NBA's All-Bubble First Team on Saturday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Doncic put on excellent performances during the seeding games, helping the Mavs gear up for a first-round playoff matchup against the Clippers. In Doncic's seven appearances, he averaged 30.0 points on 20.6 shots, 10.1 rebounds and 9.7 assists in 35.6 minutes.

Doncic scored 18 points (5-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 7-7 FT) while adding five assists and a steal in only 13 minutes during Thursday's 128-102 loss to the Suns.

Unlike Kristaps Porzingis (heel), Doncic wasn't dealing with a nagging injury and got to suit up for the Mavs' final game before the playoffs, but with nothing on the line for the club he saw a very light workload. He heads into the postseason averaging a cool 30.0 points, 10.1 boards, 9.7 assists and 2.1 threes through seven games in the Orlando bubble.

Doncic scored 25 points (8-19 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 7-9 FT) while adding 10 assists, eight rebounds and a block in 35 minutes during Tuesday's 134-131 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Going toe to toe with Damian Lillard, Doncic just missed recording his fourth triple-double in six games since the season restarted. The second-year star is averaging a stunning 32.0 points, 11.3 assists, 11.0 boards and 2.3 threes in Orlando, but with the Mavs locked into the No. 7 seed in the Western Conference, Doncic and the team's other stars could see limited minutes or even get rested in the regular-season finale Thursday against the Suns.

Doncic is listed as out for Monday's game against Utah.

The injury report notes that Doncic is dealing with a right ankle issue, but the decision to sit him out is likely more rest-related as the Mavs enter the first half of a back-to-back set. Doncic has played incredibly well since arriving in Orlando, averaging 33.4 points, 11.6 rebounds and 11.6 assists per game, while shooting 48.3 percent from the field. In Saturday's win over Milwaukee, Doncic posted 36 points, 19 assists and 14 boards.

Doncic delivered 36 points (12-24 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 9-10 FT), 19 assists, 14 rebounds and one steal in 42 minutes during Saturday's 136-132 overtime win against the Bucks.

Doncic was magnificent, amassing a career high assist total while also committing just two turnovers. He turned in a double-double in the first half alone, and Doncic is capable of putting up absurd stat totals every time he takes the court.

Doncic scored 29 points (10-21 FG, 6-13 3Pt, 3-6 FT) while adding six assists and three rebounds in 35 minutes during Thursday's 126-111 loss to the Clippers.

While Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis (30 points) did their part to keep Dallas in the game, no other Mav scored more than 12 points on the night. This was actually Doncic's quietest performance since the restart, and through four games in the bubble he's averaging a dazzling 32.8 points, 11.0 boards, 9.8 assists and 2.3 threes.

Doncic recorded 34 points (12-24 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 8-11 FT), 20 rebounds, 12 assists and two blocks in 43 minutes during Tuesday's 114-110 overtime win over the Kings.

With his performance, Doncic became the youngest player in NBA history to record a 30-point, 20-rebound, 10-assist game. He also became just the 11th player ever to record such a line. Doncic continues to demonstrate why he's considered one of the most promising young players in the league and a strong bet to be a future MVP.

Doncic registered 40 points (11-20 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 18-19 FT), 11 assists, eight rebounds and six turnovers in 38 minutes during Sunday's 117-115 loss against the Suns.

Doncic scored 40 points in just 20 shots, although he notched 18 of those points -- a season-high mark for him -- from the charity stripe. Doncic is averaging a triple-double from his first two games since the restart, but his efforts have not been enough as the Mavs have gone 0-2 in those contests.

Doncic exploded for 28 points (11-27 FG, 1-9 3Pt, 5-9 FT), 13 rebounds, 10 assists, one steal and one block in 42 minutes during Friday's 153-149 overtime loss against the Rockets.

Doncic was Dallas' focal point of the offense, and he delivered -- this was his 15th triple-double of the season. The star guard must do a better job shooting from deep after making just one of his nine long-range attempts in this game, but that won't matter much if he keeps filling the stat sheet on a nightly basis like he did here.

Doncic compiled 20 points (6-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 11 rebounds, nine assists and one block in 24 minutes during Sunday's 118-111 scrimmage loss to the Pacers.

Doncic was efficient as a scorer while providing ample production in the rebounding and assist departments, as per usual. He sets the table for the Mavericks offensively, shouldering as much responsibility as anyone in the league on that end of the floor. With Dallas hoping to rise in the standings to avoid a meeting with a top-seeded team in the first round of the playoffs, Doncic is a good bet to keep producing at a high level once the official games begin.

Doncic totaled 14 points (5-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-6 FT), six assists, five rebounds and one steal in 17 minutes during Thursday's 108-104 victory over the Lakers.

Doncic was kept to just 17 minutes Thursday as the Mavericks got a good look at a number of their role players. He was forced to the locker room at one point but it appears there is nothing to worry about moving forward. The free-throw issues don't appear to have rectified themselves over the break, but that might be the only flaw in his game at this stage.

Doncic is working on his conditioning in his native Slovenia with his trainer, Jure Drasklar, the Dallas Morning News reports. "He is not in the best shape, which is normal," Drasklar said. "NBA games will not be played before the end of July, so there is enough time to help him recover and get ready. ... However, he undoubtedly would be ready to play right now."

While Drasklar is confident that Doncic will be in peak form when play resumes on July 31, it sounds as though he'll need some time to work his way back into NBA game shape. Doncic has been working out with Drasklar for the last three weeks and prior to that was reportedly working out alone. Drasklar also noted that Doncic hired a private chef and has been following a regimented meal plan. "Doncic practically does not eat anything except what we cook for him," Drasklar said.

Doncic posted 28 points (10-22 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 6-11 FT), nine assists, six rebounds and two steals in the Mavericks' 113-97 victory against the Nuggets on Wednesday.

Owners have come to expect excellence from Doncic and Doncic has consistently delivered -- with Wednesday being no exception. Doncic logged 40 minutes, matching a season-high for a non-overtime game. It will be the last fans see of him until the NBA returns from its hiatus in response to the COVID-19 virus.

Doncic notched 38 points (13-26 FG, 6-13 3Pt, 6-7 FT), eight assists, seven rebounds and two steals in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 119-109 win over the Mavericks.

Doncic was doubtful due to a wrist injury, but that didn't limit the star guard to provide another impressive performance even if the Mavericks ended losing. Doncic has scored 20 or more points in every single game since he returned from a seven-game absence last month.

Doncic (wrist) is available for Tuesday's matchup against the Spurs.

Doncic is dealing with a sprained shooting wrist, but he'll give it a go Tuesday. Over the past four games, he's averaging 27.5 points on 21.5 shots, plus 9.0 rebounds, 8.3 assists and 1.5 steals in 36.3 minutes.

Doncic (wrist) is expected to play in Tuesday's game against the Spurs, Michael Wright of ESPN reports.

Doncic was listed as questionable on the latest injury report, but coach Rick Carlisle told the media prior to game-time that he anticipates the All-Star playing. Keep an eye out for a final call on his status before the 8:00PM ET tip.

Doncic is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Spurs due to a sprained right wrist.

This is the first we've heard of the issue, as Doncic was not included on the initial report earlier Monday. Chances are, it's nothing too serious, but the All-Star's status is obviously one to monitor as Tuesday night's game approaches. Doncic is coming off of a 36-point, 10-rebound, eight-assist game in Sunday's loss to Indiana.

Doncic totaled 36 points (13-36 FG, 4-13 3Pt, 6-10 FT), 10 rebounds, eight assists and a steal in 36 minutes during Sunday's close loss to the Pacers.

Doncic just missed out on a triple-double, though he compensated owners with his 23rd 30-plus point effort of the season. As long as the 20-year-old can stay healthy, he's among the best fantasy assets in the league. Overall, Doncic's establishing career-best in nearly every statistical category and is averaging 28.5 points, 9.4 rebounds, 8.7 assists, 2.8 threes and 1.0 steal in 33.1 minutes per contest.

Doncic posted 21 points (7-20 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 5-8 FT), six assists, four rebounds and two steals across 30 minutes in Friday's 121-96 win over the Grizzlies.

While Kristaps Porzingis enjoyed a masterful game in the blowout win, Doncic struggled a bit with his shot, especially from long range. He only converted two threes out of eight attempts and converted only 35 percent from the floor overall. This outlier game shouldn't worry Doncic owners too much, as he's almost a lock for prolific production on a nightly basis.

Doncic (illness) will play Friday against the Grizzlies, Mike Peasley of the Dallas Mavericks Radio Network reports.

Doncic was previously questionable due to an illness, but he's feeling healthy enough to take the court. Across his past seven appearances, he's averaging 26.9 points, 9.6 rebounds and 9.4 assists in 34.9 minutes.

Doncic (illness) is questionable for Friday's game against the Grizzlies.

An illness prevented Doncic from practicing Thursday and, as a result, he's considered questionable for Friday's matchup. If he ends up not seeing the court, J.J. Barea (ankle) and Delon Wright could see expanded roles.

Doncic (thumb) did not practice Thursday due to an illness, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Doncic underwent X-rays on his left thumb following Wednesday's overtime win over the Pelicans -- during which he tallied 30 points, 17 rebounds and 10 assists in 41 minutes -- though everything came back clean and it's actually an illness that kept him from taking the court for Thursday's practice. He should be tentatively considered questionable for Friday's game against Memphis, with an update regarding his status likely coming after the team's morning shootaround.

Doncic put up 30 points (9-20 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 8-13 FT), 17 rebounds, 10 assists, one steal and one block in 41 minutes during Wednesday's overtime win over the Pelicans, but he underwent X-rays --which came back negative -- on his left thumb after the game, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

The left thumb sprain he sustained last week is apparently still bothersome, though the team is still referring to the injury as a sprain after the X-rays. Doncic did have seven turnovers, but he otherwise looked himself against New Orleans as he delivered his 14th triple-double of the season and fell one rebound short of tying his season high. It appears the 21-year-old won't be fully clear of the thumb injury in the near future, though at this point there's been no indications that he's expected to miss additional time.

Doncic (thumb) delivered 23 points (8-20 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 6-9 FT), nine assists, five rebounds and one steal in 38 minutes during Monday's 109-107 loss to the Bulls.

Doncic rejoined the lineup following a one-game absence with a thumb injury. While he struggled from the field, perhaps in part due to the aforementioned ailment, Doncic came awfully close to sinking a buzzer-beating half-court attempt that would've won his team the game. He'll look to have a better night from a shooting perspective during Wednesday's matchup versus the Pelicans.

Doncic (thumb) will play Monday against the Bulls, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

As expected, Doncic has been cleared to return after missing Sunday's win over the Timberwolves with a thumb injury. Over his last five games, Doncic is averaging 27.0 points, 9.4 assists, and 9.0 rebounds in 33.0 minutes.

Doncic (thumb) is listed as probable for Monday's game against Chicago, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

Doncic appears to be trending in the right direction in his recovery from a thumb injury that sidelined him Sunday against Minnesota. Look for an official update from the team to come out prior to tipoff finalizing his status.

Doncic (thumb) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves.

Deemed questionable heading into the day, Doncic will be sidelined for his 13th game of the season after spraining his left thumb in Friday's loss to the Heat. Though Doncic wasn't forced to exit early because of the injury, coach Rick Carlisle said the thumb issue was "awkward" for the superstar guard, so the Mavs will err on the side of caution and give the 21-year-old the day off, per Mark Followill of Fox Sports Southwest. Doncic could be ready to play in the second half of the back-to-back set Monday in Chicago.

Doncic is listed as questionable for Sunday's tilt against the Timberwolves due to an injured thumb, Mavericks radio play-by-play broadcaster Chuck Cooperstein reports.

Doncic had his left thumb wrapped up in Friday's 126-118 loss to the Heat and was noticeably bothered by it at times. It would not be surprising if the Mavericks opt to err on the side of caution in this situation. He should be viewed as a game-time decision at this point.

Doncic provided 23 points (7-17 FG, 0-6 3Pt, 9-9 FT), 10 assists and four rebounds in 38 minutes during Friday's 126-118 loss to the Heat.

A likely mix of the left thumb sprain and Miami's strong defense contributed to a poor start for Doncic, who shot 1-of-7 in the first half. The contest ended on a sour note as the NBA's triple-double leader rebounded only five shots, scored zero threes and committed six turnovers. On the bright side, the birthday boy recovered enough to finish with a double-double and ended the month averaging an incredible 27 points, 9.4 assists and nine rebounds.

Doncic is available for Friday's game against the Heat.

Despite dealing with a sprained thumb, Doncic will gear up to play on his 21st birthday. The sophomore will look to show up having played only two minutes against the Heat this season.

Doncic (thumb) is expected to play Friday against the Heat, Mike Peasley of the Dallas Mavericks Radio Network reports.

Doncic is dealing with a sprained thumb that he suffered during Wednesday's win over the Spurs, but it likely won't prevent him from taking the court. Look for an official confirmation of his status closer to tipoff.

Doncic (thumb) is questionable for Friday's game against the Heat.

Doncic apparently sprained his left thumb during Wednesday's win over the Spurs, though he still finished with 26 points, 14 assists, 10 rebounds and one steal in 37 minutes. He'll likely test the issue out during Friday's pregame activities before a determination regarding his availability is made.

Doncic had 26 points (10-25 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 14 assists, 10 rebounds and one steal over 37 minutes in Wednesday's 109-103 win against San Antonio.

Doncic left Wednesday's game in the first quarter with a thumb injury, but the issue wasn't too severe, and he was able to return and log a triple-double in the win. The 20-year-old has been limited over the beginning of the month as he deals with an ankle injury, but his output Wednesday signals that he could be back to full speed.

Doncic is available to return to Wednesday's game against San Antonio after leaving with an injured left thumb.

Fortunately, the thumb injury that caused Doncic to leave during the first quarter isn't overly serious, as the Mavericks have cleared the star point guard to make a return. Barring any setbacks, look for Doncic to see his usual workload.

Doncic (ankle) is available Monday against the Timberwolves, Callie Caplan of The Dallas Morning News reports.

As expected, Doncic is good to go Monday after missing Saturday's loss to the Hawks with a sore right ankle. In his only two appearances this month, Doncic is averaging 33.0 points, 11.0 rebounds and 8.0 assists in 32.5 minutes.

Doncic (ankle) is expected to play Monday against Minnesota.

Doncic was held out of Saturday's game with soreness in his troublesome right ankle, but the All-Star starter is listed as "probable" for Monday's contest, so all indications are that he'll be back in the lineup. In his first game after the break, Doncic went for 33 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists in a win over Orlando.

Doncic (ankle) isn't expected to miss multiple games, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Coach Rick Carlisle couldn't quite guarantee that Doncic would return from a bout of ankle soreness for Monday's game against Minnesota, but he was optimistic his star player would be back. He'll miss Saturday's game against the Hawks but will work out prior to the contest.

Doncic (ankle) isn't expected to miss multiple games, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Coach Rick Carlisle couldn't quite guarantee that Doncic would return from a bout of ankle soreness for Monday's game against Minnesota, but he was optimistic his star player would be back. He'll miss Saturday's game against the Hawks but will work out prior to the contest.

Doncic will not play in Saturday's game against the Hawks due to right ankle soreness, per Sarah K. Spencer of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Doncic was initially ruled out for rest, but the absence is now attributed to a sore right ankle. The All-Star should be tentatively considered questionable for Monday's game against the Timberwolves.

Doncic will not play Saturday against the Hawks for rest purposes.

Doncic will get the night off on the second half of a back-to-back set after posting 33 points, 10 rebounds, eight assists, one steal and one block in a 122-106 win over the Magic on Friday. In his absence, Jalen Brunson, Delon Wright and J.J. Barea figure to see extra minutes in the backcourt.

Doncic scored a game-high 33 points (10-21 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 9-12 FT) while adding 10 rebounds, eight assists, a steal and a block in 34 minutes during Friday's 122-106 win over the Magic.

The second-year superstar posted a nearly identical line to his last performance before the All-Star break, swapping a couple boards for some defensive stats. Doncic appears fully recovered from his ankle injury, and he should remain a nightly triple-double threat down the stretch if he can stay healthy.

Doncic produced 16 points (6-11 FG, 4-9 3Pt), five assists, two rebounds and one steal in 24 minutes during Friday's Team World loss to Team USA in the Rising Stars Challenge.

Doncic was basically out there for a good time Friday, seemingly have the most fun of anyone on the court. Despite a couple of ankle injuries, Doncis is putting together one of the most impressive sophomore seasons in recent memory. He remains in the discussion for the MVP award, although that has certainly cooled after a ridiculous start to the season. Nonetheless, he is a lock to be an early first-round player for the rest of this season and far beyond that. If you managed to grab him in a dynasty format, congratulations are in order.

Doncic accrued 33 points (10-18 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 10-12 FT), 12 rebounds and eight assists in 31 minutes during Wednesday's win over Sacramento.

Doncic fell just two assists short of recording a triple-double as he absolutely dominated the Kings in his return from a seven-game absence due to an ankle injury. Moreover, his plus-30 net rating led the team as Doncic showcased considerable rapport with his co-star Kristaps Porzingis, who also had an impressive night. The second-year point guard gave owners no cause for concern and should continue his incredible season after the All-Star break.

Doncic (ankle) will play as expected Wednesday against the Kings, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Doncic said after Tuesday's practice he would play, though he was still listed as questionable on the injury report. The 20-year-old missed the last seven games with the ankle injury and doesn't officially have a minutes restriction, but it also wouldn't be surprising if he didn't reach his 32.8-minute average.

Doncic (ankle) has indicated he will return to action for Wednesday's game against the Kings, but he is officially listed as questionable on the team's injury report, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Doncic has been nearing a return from a lingering ankle injury, and Wednesday has been the target date. While all signs still point to him playing, his official questionable designation should certainly be noted. It remains to be seen if the team will limit his minutes in any fashion when he does return.

Doncic (ankle) will play Wednesday against Sacramento, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

As anticipated, Doncic will officially make his awaited return from a lingering ankle injury a game before the All-Star break. The second-year guard has been sidelined since rolling his ankle during practice in late January. With Doncic back Wednesday, teammate Jalen Brunson will presumably return to a reserve role.

The hope is that Doncic (ankle), who has already been ruled out for Monday's game against the Jazz, will be cleared to return Wednesday against the Kings, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

Doncic is set to miss a seventh straight game as he recovers from a sprained right ankle, though it sounds like he could return for Dallas' final game before the All-Star break after returning to 5-on-5 work at the team's practice facility Monday. Look for his status to clear up closer to Wednesday's game; if Doncic is cleared to play, Jalen Brunson would likely return to a reserve role.

Doncic (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Jazz.

The Mavericks ruled out Doncic for the next six games after suffering the right ankle sprain Jan. 26, and Monday's absence will mark the seventh game. Wednesday's matchup with Sacramento is Dallas' final game before the All-Star break, so the team will likely remain additionally cautious to avoid rushing back their star point guard for minimal return.

Doncic (ankle) has been ruled out for the next six games, Mike Peasley of the Dallas Mavericks Radio Network reports.

Doncic rolled his right ankle near the end of Thursday's practice, and it'll cost him his participation in the All-Star Game as well as the next few weeks of game action. Delon Wright and Jalen Brunson figure to see more time at point guard while Doncic is on the mend.

Doncic's right ankle sprain is being described as "manageable", but he remains without a definitive timeframe for a return, Mark Stein of The New York Times reports.

Doncic missed four games in early December with a similar injury, so it's fair to expect him to be out roughly a week, maybe two. In his absence, we should see Jalen Brunson step up into a bigger playmaking role. Delon Wright could also see extra minutes.

Doncic (ankle) will not travel to Houston for Friday's game against the Rockets, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Doncic rolled his ankle during Thursday's practice and will miss at least one game, and likely more, as a result. Per Townsend, the initial belief is that the injury -- which is being termed a right ankle sprain -- is similar to the one that forced Doncic to miss four games earlier in the season, though the Mavericks are waiting to see the results of his scheduled MRI on Friday before providing a timetable for his return.

Doncic will undergo an MRI on his ankle Friday, Mark Stein of The New York Times reports.

Doncic rolled his right ankle during Thursday's practice, leaving his status for Friday's game against the Rockets in doubt. According to Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com, the injury is thought to be similar to the one Doncic suffered earlier in the season -- which forced him to miss four games -- though the Mavericks want to send him for additional tests before determining his availability for the team's upcoming back-to-back set Friday/Saturday.

Doncic rolled his right ankle at practice Thursday, and his status is uncertain for Friday's game in Houston, Tim Cato of The Athletic reports.

The Mavs remained tight-lipped about the situation, but Cato notes that Mavericks team staffers appeared "concerned" after practice. Considering Doncic already missed time earlier in the season with a right ankle injury, it wouldn't be a surprise if he misses Friday's game, which is the first half of a back-to-back set. The Mavs host Atlanta on Saturday before heading into a four-game, which begins in Indiana on Monday.

Doncic compiled 21 points (7-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal in 25 minutes during Tuesday's 133-104 loss to Phoenix.

Doncic came into Tuesday's game under a slight injury cloud but was able to take his place in the starting lineup. Unfortunately, his presence was not enough for the Mavericks who were run off the floor by an enthusiastic Suns outfit. Doncic still managed serviceable production and even connected on 6-of-7 from the free-throw line. It was the second night of a back-to-back set and the Mavericks are now off until Friday, giving Doncic time to rest and recover before facing the Rockets.

Doncic (ankle) will play Tuesday against the Suns.

As expected, Doncic will take the court despite some right ankle soreness. In home games this month, he's averaging 31.3 points, 10.1 rebounds and 9.0 assists in 35.3 minutes.

Doncic is being considered probable for Tuesday's game against the Suns due to right ankle soreness.

Doncic has been dealing with ankle soreness over the last few days, though he managed to play through the issue Monday evening, pouring in 29 points and securing 11 boards over 33 minutes of action. The expectation is that he'll be ready to roll Tuesday evening.

Doncic delivered 29 points (10-24, 5-12 3Pt, 4-7 FT), 11 rebounds and five assists in 33 minutes during Monday's 107-97 win over the Thunder.

Doncic had been listed as probable earlier in the day due to a sore right ankle and gave it a go as expected. He continues to put together one of the best sophomore seasons in NBA history, and he'll look to keep it rolling during Tuesday's tilt versus the Suns.

Doncic (ankle) has been cleared to play Monday against Oklahoma City, Royce Young of ESPN.com reports.

Doncic was upgraded to probable earlier in the day despite dealing with ankle soreness, and coach Rick Carlisle has since noted that his star point guard will take the court Monday night. He'll match up against Dennis Schroder with Chris Paul out due to personal reasons.

Doncic is considered probable for Monday's game against the Thunder due to a sore right ankle.

Doncic's battling right ankle soreness after playing 36 minutes in Saturday's loss to the Jazz. Fortunately, the issue doesn't appear to be too severe as the star point guard's expected to play. In the off chance he's held out, Delon Wright and Jalen Brunson would likely see expanded roles.

Doncic posted 25 points (11-25 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 1-5 FT), seven assists, six rebounds and two steals in 36 minutes during Saturday's loss to the Jazz.

Doncic singlehandedly kept his team in the game for a large portion of it, as he was the only Maverick to score in double figures through the first half. The recent return of Kristaps Porzingis (knee) shouldn't put any kind of noticeable dent in Doncic's production as his usage rate was at 38.2 going into this game anyway. The soon-to-be 21-year old is producing first-round value, and there's no reason to expect that to drop as the Mavericks make their playoff push.

Doncic supplied 24 points (11-25 FG, 2-11 3Pt, 3-6 FT), nine assists, six rebounds and two steals in 35 minutes during the Mavericks' 133-125 win against Portland on Thursday.

Freshly named the youngest All-Star starter since LeBron James in 2005, Doncic piloted the Mavericks to a turbulent win against a blistering Damien Lillard. Doncic was hobbled after slipping on a driving layup at the end of the first quarter, but seemingly returned to full health as the game went on. He remains one triple-double shy of matching Jason Kidd's franchise record for most in a season.

Doncic had 36 points (12-26 FG, 3-12 3PT, 9-14 FT), 10 rebounds, nine assists and two blocks in 35 minutes during Tuesday's 110-107 loss against the Clippers.

Doncic missed two clutch free throws down the stretch that could have changed the outcome of the game but other than that, the Slovenian once again led Dallas offensively and keeps showing why he should be considered a first-round player in all formats. He is averaging close to a triple-double over his last 10 games -- 29.5 points, 10.4 rebounds and 9.1 assists per game -- and he should be in line for another strong outing on the road against a depleted, injury-riddled Blazers team Thursday.

Doncic had 35 points (11-23 FG, 8-12 3PT, 5-8 FT), eight rebounds, seven assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Friday's 120-112 win over the Trail Blazers.

Doncic sniffed a triple-double while scoring 35 or more points for the fourth time this month, but that has been the standard of performances for the Slovenian during his second year in The Association. He is averaging 28.8 points, 10.4 rebounds and 9.1 assists per game in nine starts during January, and his recent performances have done nothing but solidify their 2019-20 MVP candidacy. He will try to deliver another strong performance Tuesday next week at home against the Clippers.

Doncic (ankle) is not on a minutes limit for Thursday's game against the Spurs, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

Following a four-game absence due to a sprained ankle, Doncic will not be under any restrictions in his first game back. Prior to suffering the injury, Doncic was averaging 29.3 points, 9.8 rebounds and 8.2 assists in December.

Doncic (ankle) will make his return Thursday against the Spurs, Mark Followill of Fox Sports Southwest reports.

Doncic was previously questionable following a four-game absence due to an ankle injury, but he's set to make his return against the rival Spurs. Prior to suffering the injury, Doncic was averaging 29.3 points, 9.8 rebounds and 8.2 assists in December.

Doncic (ankle) is expected to return to action Thursday night against San Antonio, Tim MacMahon of ESPN reports.

Doncic remains questionable on the official injury report, but MacMahon reports that the Mavs' plan is to have the MVP candidate back in the lineup after he missed the previous four games with a sprained right ankle. There's a chance Doncic could be limited initially, but given his importance to the franchise, the Mavs likely wouldn't bring him back unless he was close to 100 percent.

Doncic (ankle) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Spurs.

Doncic went through a full practice Tuesday, so a return Thursday is certainly on the table. More information may arrive following the Mavericks' morning shootaround.

Doncic (ankle) was a full participant in practice Tuesday, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

Doncic has missed the previous four games with a right ankle sprain, but his return for practice is encouraging for his status in the Mavericks' game Thursday against the Spurs. His status is still uncertain, but he could certainly make his return to the court Thursday unless any setbacks occur while practicing.

Doncic (ankle) could return for Thursday's matchup against San Antonio, Tim MacMahon of ESPN reports.

There's optimism that Doncic may be ready to take the floor Thursday after he partook in some pregame warmups with ease before Sunday's game. The Slovenian will likely be a limited participant in Tuesday's practice, as Doncic's status also probably won't be updated until Thursday. The guard is currently averaging a spectacular 29.3 points, 9.6 rebounds and 8.9 assists per outing.

Doncic has been "responding well" to treatment and is already off crutches after suffering a sprained right ankle Saturday against the Heat, Malika Andrews of ESPN.com reports.

Doncic has officially been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup with the Bucks, and he's expected to miss at least a couple more games while on the mend. In his absence, look for Jalen Brunson and Delon Wright to get more work at point guard.

Doncic is expected to miss multiple weeks after sustaining a moderate right ankle sprain in Saturday's game against the Heat, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

Doncic remains without a specific timeline, but it seems likely that he'll be held out for at least the next two weeks. It could be a rough stretch for the Mavericks, who play four of the top five Eastern Conference teams in that timeframe, with games against the Bucks, Celtics, 76ers and Raptors. Jalen Brunson, who generated 18 points, eight assists and seven rebounds in Doncic's place last night, will likely be given ample opportunities, as will Delon Wright and Seth Curry. More updates on Doncic's availability will likely come throughout the week as he responds to treatment on his ankle. That said, expect the Mavericks to treat their him with extreme caution and wait until he's completely healthy to bring him back into the fold.

The right ankle injury that forced Doncic out in the first quarter of Saturday's 122-118 overtime loss to the Heat is considered a "moderate" sprain, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Doncic played just one minute and 40 seconds before departing after turning his ankle when he stepped on the foot of Heat guard Kendrick Nunn while driving to the bucket. The early exit ended Doncic's streak of 20 consecutive games with at least 20 points, five rebounds and five assists, but the Mavericks are likely more concerned about the star point guard's health moving forward. Fortunately for Dallas, X-rays on Doncic's ankle returned negative, leaving the team optimistic he'll avoid a long-term absence. Coach Rick Carlisle noted after the game that he doesn't expect Doncic to be available for Monday's road matchup with Milwaukee, per Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com. Expect Jalen Brunson and Delon Wright to log most of the minutes at point guard in that contest.

Doncic was diagnosed with a right ankle sprain Saturday after X-rays came back negative, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

The update is certainly good news, though the 20-year-old's status going forward remains up in the air. Doncic should be considered questionable for Monday's matchup with the Bucks until the team provides an additional update.

Doncic notched his second triple-double of the season (31 points, 15 assists, 13 rebounds in 38 minutes) in Friday's 119-110 loss to the Lakers, but he required stitches after suffering a laceration on his head earlier in the contest. Fortunately, Doncic looks to be good to go after having Saturday off and shouldn't be subjected to a minutes restriction Sunday.
