Dereck Lively II

DAL Center #2

Dereck Lively II recorded a double-double on Saturday with 20 points (9-of-9 FGs), 16 rebounds, one steal and six blocks against the Thunder.

In a matchup with another rookie center that has shined this season, Lively dominated the competition and had the best game of his young career. He set career-highs for points, rebounds, blocks and shots made without missing any of his attempts. This was a monster performance from the rookie who also played a career-high 39 minutes. He won’t see that many minutes often, and he is averaging just 24.2 per game this season. Hopefully Jason Kidd will bump that number closer to 30 so we can get more dominant performances out of last year’s No. 12 pick.
Luka Doncic

DAL Point Guard #77

Luka Doncic led the Mavs with 36 points (11-of-22 FGs, 9-of-14 FTs), 15 rebounds, 18 assists, two steals, two blocks, five triples and seven turnovers in 46 minutes in a 126-120 loss to Oklahoma City on Saturday.

After missing their game on Friday due to the birth of his daughter, Doncic was back in the lineup for this game. With Kyrie Irving out for this one, Luka had to do even more than he usually does, and he finished with a triple-double for just the third time this season and the first time since October. This game was a blowout for the first three quarters, but Dallas used a 30-0 run to take a six point lead late in the game. Unfortunately, they ran out of gas and wasted the historic run. Luka played all but two minutes in this game and will certainly enjoy a few days off before they play again on Wednesday.
Seth Curry

DAL Point Guard #30

Luka Doncic, Seth Curry, Derrick Jones Jr., Grant Williams, and Dereck Lively II will start Saturday’s game against the Thunder.

With Kyrie Irving and Josh Green sidelined due to injury, Seth Curry will start next to Luka Doncic in the Mavericks backcourt. That gives him some value as a deep-league streamer, especially for managers needing 3-point production.
Kyrie Irving

DAL Point Guard #11

Kyrie Irving (right foot soreness), Josh Green (right elbow soreness), and Tim Hardaway Jr. (back spasms) have been ruled out for Saturday’s game against the Thunder.

Irving, Green, and Hardaway, all being ruled out, leave the Mavericks extremely shorthanded on the perimeter. Getting Luka Doncic (personal reasons) back will help immensely, but expect to see a lot of Seth Curry and Jaden Hardy. Neither qualifies as a “safe” streaming option, especially on a 12-game night.
Dante Exum

DAL Shooting Guard #0

Dante Exum (personal reasons) and Maxi Kleber (right small toe dislocation) are out for Saturday’s game against the Thunder.

Exum and Kleber will remain sidelined on Saturday, albeit for different reasons. While neither has been impactful in fantasy basketball circles, the absence of the former means that Dallas could be down multiple guards on Saturday. Kyrie Irving and Josh Green are questionable with foot and elbow injuries.
Kyrie Irving

DAL Point Guard #11

Kyrie Irving (right foot soreness) and Josh Green (right elbow soreness) are questionable for Saturday’s game against the Thunder.

With Luka Doncic (personal) sidelined, Irving and Green were the starting guards in Friday’s loss to the Grizzlies. Luka will be back in action; the question is who he’ll share guard duties with. Irving is obviously the player whose availability will greatly impact fantasy basketball in this spot. Seth Curry and Jaden Hardy would be in line for more minutes if Irving and/or Green are ruled out.
Tim Hardaway Jr.

DAL Shooting Guard #10

Tim Hardaway Jr. (back spasms) is questionable for Saturday’s game against the Thunder.

Hardaway did not play in Friday’s loss to the Grizzlies, which opened the door for Jaden Hardy to take on more rotation minutes. With Josh Green (elbow) also questionable, fantasy managers could see even more of Hardy and Seth Curry on Saturday.
Luka Doncic

DAL Point Guard #77

Luka Doncic (personal reasons) is not on the injury report for Saturday’s game against the Thunder.

Doncic is set to return to game action after missing Friday’s loss to the Grizzlies. With Kyrie Irving (sore right foot) questionable to play, it may be Luka’s show to run by himself. Either way, fantasy managers who have him rostered must ensure he isn’t on the bench before lineups lock.
Kyrie Irving

DAL Point Guard #11

Kyrie Irving struggles in Friday’s loss to the Grizzlies accounting for 10 points (3-of-15 FG, 4-of-5 FT) with five rebounds and five assists.

Kyrie was uncharacteristically below average in Friday’s loss to the Memphis Grizzlies. Irving shot 3-of-15 from the field and was held to only 10 points. With Luka Doncic out (personal reasons), many thought Irving would produce a substantial scoring performance. They were sadly mistaken. This was Irving‘s lowest point total this season and although he managed to dish five dimes and grab five boards, it was a lackluster showing. This may be an opportunity to execute a quick buy-low. Look for Irving to bounce back in Saturday’s matchup against the red-hot OKC Thunder.
Derrick Jones Jr.

DAL Small Forward #55

The Mavericks will start Kyrie Irving, Josh Green, Derrick Jones Jr., Grant Williams and Dereck Lively II against the Grizzlies on Friday.

Luka Doncic isn’t suiting up for this game due to the birth of his daughter, which will allow Jones Jr. to slide into the starting unit in his place. He has some uspide as a streaming option, but this game will be the Kyrie show. Some other players will have the opportunity to step up, but Irving should be in for a big night.
