  • 107-81-1 4th Place
    • Dominant in series-clinching win
      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.

      Advice: 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. Rotowire.com Today, 12:40 pm
       
    • Luka Doncic comes out hot, finishes with 36 points
      Luka Doncic shot 14-of-22 from the field and 2-of-3 from the foul line in Thursday’s 124-103 win over the Timberwolves, tallying 36 points, 10 rebounds, five assists, two steals, and six 3-pointers in 37 minutes.

      Advice: After failing to close out Minnesota in Game 4, Doncic and the Mavericks left no doubt in Game 5 on Thursday. He outscored the Timberwolves by himself in the first quarter, dropping 20 points to Minnesota’s 19. After that start, the outcome was not in doubt, and Doncic will make his first NBA Finals appearance next Thursday in Boston. The Celtics’ perimeter defenders can offer more defensive resistance, but Luka should benefit from the time off before the Finals begin. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:59 pm
       
    • Luka Doncic (ankle, knee) will play in Game 5
      Luka Doncic (left ankle soreness, right knee sprain) is available for Thursday’s game against the Timberwolves.

      Advice: There is no surprise here, as the Mavericks have consistently listed Doncic as questionable before clearing him to play. DFS players should set their lineups accordingly; it would take a blowout in either direction for Doncic not to play at least 40 minutes. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:41 pm
       
    • Cleared for Game 5
      Doncic (knee/ankle) is available for Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals against Minnesota on Thursday.

      Advice: Doncic will shed yet another questionable tag as he continues to power through minor ankle and knee issues. There's no word of any restrictions heading into tipoff. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:30 pm
       
    • Luka Doncic (ankle, knee) questionable for Game 5
      Luka Doncic (left ankle soreness, right knee sprain) is questionable for Thursday’s game against the Timberwolves.

      Advice: Doncic remains on the Mavericks’ preliminary injury report, but DFS players should expect to see him on the court on Thursday. He played 41 minutes in Tuesday’s Game 4 defeat and should take on a similar workload in Game 5. Rotoworld Wednesday, 2:14 pm
       
    • Questionable for Game 5
      Doncic (knee/ankle) is questionable for Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals against Minnesota on Thursday.

      Advice: Doncic continues to deal with a right knee sprain and left ankle soreness, but he hasn't missed time recently and has averaged 31.5 points, 9.5 rebounds, 9.0 assists and 2.3 steals in 41.0 minutes per game over the first four games of the Western Conference Finals, including a 28-point, 15-rebound, 10-assist triple-double in Tuesday's loss in Game 4. It wouldn't be surprising to see him fully available once again Thursday as the Mavericks attempt to close out the series. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 1:34 pm
       
    • Triple-double not enough in Game 4
      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.

      Advice: 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. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 8:06 am
       
    • Luka Doncic posts 28/15/10/1 line in Game 4 loss
      Luka Doncic shot 7-of-21 from the field and 10-of-12 from the foul line in Tuesday’s 105-100 loss to the Timberwolves, scoring 28 points with 15 rebounds, 10 assists, one steal, and four 3-pointers in 41 minutes.

      Advice: Doncic recorded his second triple-double of the series on Tuesday, but Game 4 was his least efficient outing. The All-NBA guard shot 33.3% from the field, his lowest percentage since Dallas’ Game 4 loss to Oklahoma City in the second round. Doncic is up to a league-high six triple-doubles this postseason, but he must produce a “cleaner” effort in Game 5 on Thursday. No team that has led a playoff series 3-0 has lost four straight, so history is in Dallas’ favor. Rotoworld Tuesday, 8:47 pm
       
    • Available to play
      Doncic (knee) is available for Tuesday's Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals against Minnesota.

      Advice: 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. Doncic has scored at least 32 points in each of the first three games of the Western Conference Finals, posting one triple-double during that stretch. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 4:28 pm
