    • 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 Thursday, 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 Thursday, 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 Thursday, 4:30 pm
