As reported by: Chuck Cooperstein Luka Doncic (calf) available Saturday; Frank Ntilikina (illness) out
Luka Doncic (calf) will be available on a minutes limit Saturday. Luka’s return should significantly affect the usage that Jalen Brunson along with the other Mavericks starters, have enjoyed and will make them much tougher to trust in DFS contests. Although a specific minutes limit wasn’t given, Luka did see 32 minutes earlier after making a return from a three week absence. It could be a similar situation here but the score of the game could dictate if the Mavericks decide to push this tonight. Ntilikina will remain out, though he was not expected to play a role in tonight’s game regardless.
