Jalen Brunson Puts Together Magical Performance

Dallas Mavericks guard Jalen Brunson was unreal during Monday's Game 2 matchup against the Utah Jazz. The young guard finished with a career-high 41 points, eight rebounds, five assists in the victory. He also had a career-high six three-pointers and shot 15-for-25 from the floor on Monday. The Mavericks were without Luka Doncic (calf) once […]

Luka Doncic To Sit Out During Game 2

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (calf) has been ruled out for Monday's Game 2 contest against the Utah Jazz. This was expected as Doncic continues to deal with a lingering calf issue. The organization is hopeful to get him back in time for Game 3, but we'll see if that happens. In the meantime, Spencer […]

We're primed for a three-game playoff slate Monday night that sees Saturday's Game 1 participants tangle in their Game 2 clashes. With the compact player pool and equally tight rotations run by most coaches this time of year, a DFS lineup can come together fairly quickly in terms of potential candidates at each position.

Frank Ntilikina Out Again On Monday Evening

Dallas Mavericks guard Frank Ntilikina (illness) is out for Game 2 of the postseason matchup against the Utah Jazz. Ntilikina continues to recover from a tonsillectomy, although he isn't expected to have much of a role in the lineup even if he's healthy. However, that may change if Luka Doncic (calf), who isn't expected to […]

Luka Doncic Unlikely To Play In Game 2

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (calf) is unlikely to suit up for Monday's Game 2 matchup against the Utah Jazz. The All-Star guard was forced to miss their first matchup and could very well miss a majority of this series. Both Spencer Dinwiddie and Jalen Brunson held their own out there in Game 1. Each […]

The last two tickets to the playoffs were punched last night as the Hawks overcame a big Cavs lead in the second half to secure their bid (and cause me pain), while the Pelicans were able to pull out a big win over the Clippers, who have to be frustrated knowing that if Paul George […]

Frank Ntilikina Out For Game 1

Dallas Mavericks guard Frank Ntilikina (illness) isn't available for the opening round matchup versus Utah on Saturday. He doesn't have COVID-19, which is good. However, the 2017 No. 8 overall pick recently underwent a tonsillectomy, so there's a chance he may be sidelined beyond Game 1 as well. With Luka Doncic (calf) also out, Ntilikina […]

Today marks the official beginning of the playoffs in the NBA - what a wonderful time to be alive. The slate kicks off at noon (central time) with the Jazz-Mavericks matchup, which already figured to be slower-paced and lower-scoring even with Doncic in the lineup. The Wolves-Grizzlies affair profiles as the top game to target […]

Luka Doncic's Calf Strain A "Significant Concern"

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (calf) could be facing a multi-game absence. The superstar sustained a left calf strain during Sunday's matchup versus the San Antonio Spurs. However, after the team was hopeful that Doncic would be ready to roll for the opening-round contest against Utah, he won't be, and in fact, there's now a […]

Luka Doncic Officially Ruled Out For Game 1

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (calf) has been ruled out for Saturday's Game 1 contest against the Utah Jazz. This doesn't come as a surprise considering Doncic was doubtful heading into the beginning of this series. Jalen Brunson and Spencer Dinwiddie will be asked to pick up the slack. Both are capable options, but it's […]

Luka Doncic Unlikely To Play In Game 1

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (calf) is unlikely to suit up for Saturday's Game 1 contest against the Utah Jazz. The All-Star guard continues to deal with a lingering calf issue, but is hopeful to play soon. His next chance to play would be on Monday, so fantasy managers will have to wait and see. […]

Maxi Kleber Returns To Full Practice

Dallas Mavericks forward Maxi Kleber (ankle) went through a full practice on Wednesday. Following the practice, he told reporters that he felt "100% better." The 30-year-old hasn't suited up for a game since April 1 as he's been hampered by right ankle soreness. However, he has officially been cleared to play in the team's postseason […]

Luka Doncic Sustains Calf Strain, Game 1 Status Unclear

Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic (calf) has been announced to be dealing with a strained left calf, which he sustained during Sunday's regular-season finale. Dallas did not make his status for Game 1 of the Western Conference playoffs vs. Utah immediately available, and they won't need to list his designation until Friday night. Depending […]

Luka Doncic Gets MRI On Monday

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (calf) underwent an MRI after suffering an injury during Sunday's contest. The star guard is dealing with a calf issue, but the Mavs are in no rush to reveal the results of the MRI. It sounds like Dallas wants to keep the Utah Jazz guessing until closer to game time. […]

Luka Doncic Sustains Calf Strain Sunday, Will Undergo MRI

Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic (calf) was forced to exit Sunday's regular-season finale vs. San Antonio early due to a strained left calf.

Maxi Kleber Will Be Ready For The Playoffs

Dallas Mavericks forward Maxi Kleber (ankle) will be ready in time for the playoffs, according to head coach Jason Kidd. He has missed each of the last four games due to right ankle soreness.

Wednesday things were looking great as all my underdogs were either leading or hanging in there against their opponents. Then it all came crashing down!

Maxi Kleber Questionable Versus Blazers On Friday

Dallas Mavericks forward Maxi Kleber (ankle) has been tagged with a questionable designation ahead of Friday night's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The 6'10" forward has missed each of the team's last two games with a sore right ankle. His absence has resulted in starting forward Dorian Finney-Smith taking on a heavier workload. DFS […]
