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 Grimes would likely 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 Grimes would likely draw another start.
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 short-handed Spurs that he's been less than 100 percent over the last week, so it's not surprising to see him get a game off during the second night of a back-to-back set. 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 probable 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 play through the injury again, 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 with a bruised right knee. The 25-year-old superstar has been off to a somewhat slow start by his standards 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 to close out games is hurting Doncic's value somewhat. However, he remains a top producer in the NBA, even when his totals don't meet his lofty expectations.
