    • Jalen Williams tallies 20 points, full stat line
      Jalen Williams finished Thursday’s Game 2 loss to the Mavericks with 20 points (7-of-17 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), four rebounds, four assists, one steal, one block, and two 3-pointers in 39 minutes.

      Advice: After shooting nearly 53% from the field in Oklahoma City’s four-game sweep of the Pelicans, Williams’ shooting has taken a hit against the Mavericks. Between Derrick Jones Jr. and PJ Washington, Dallas is far better equipped to defend JDub than New Orleans was, which explains why he shot 40.6% from the field in Games 1 and 2. The good news for DFS players is that he’s kept the turnovers in check, committing one in each game. Williams will look to put forth a better effort in Game 3 on Saturday afternoon.

    • Luka Doncic records 29/10/7/3/1 line in Game 2 win
      Luka Doncic logged 41 minutes in Thursday’s Game 2 win over the Thunder, tallying 29 points (11-of-21 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), 10 rebounds, seven assists, three steals, one block, and five 3-pointers.

      Advice: Already dealing with a sore right knee, Doncic fell face-first into the court during the first quarter of Game 2. While the All-Star guard checked his mouth multiple times throughout the game, that didn’t keep him from recording a complete (and efficient) stat line to lead the Mavericks. Doncic may continue to show up on the injury report, but DFS players and NBA fans can expect him to be on the court and play at a high level. Game 3 is on Saturday afternoon in Dallas.

    • Luka Doncic (knee) available for Game 2 Thursday
      Luka Doncic (right knee sprain) is available for Thursday’s game against the Thunder.

      Advice: Doncic fully participated in the Mavericks’ practice after their Game 1 loss to the Thunder, so he was expected to play on Thursday. He will occupy his usual place in the starting lineup, with Kyrie Irving, Derrick Jones Jr., P.J. Washington, and Daniel Gafford rounding out the quintet. Rotoworld Yesterday, 5:24 pm
       
    • Available for Game 2
      Doncic (knee) will be available for Thursday's Game 2 against the Thunder.

      Advice: No surprise here, as Doncic was able to practice Wednesday and was previously carrying a probable tag. When speaking to the media, coach Jason Kidd made no mention of any restrictions. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:21 pm
       
    • Reggie Jackson (calf) questionable Thursday
      Reggie Jackson (left calf contusion) is listed as questionable for the Nuggets’ Thursday matchup against the Timberwolves.

      Advice: Jackson hasn’t been helpful against Minnesota so far. Christian Braun will benefit from getting some extra reserve minutes should Jackson be ruled out. Rotoworld Yesterday, 2:30 pm
       
    • Deemed questionable Friday
      Jackson is listed as questionable for Friday's Game 3 against the Timberwolves due to a left calf contusion.

      Advice: Jackson is in danger of missing Friday's contest after suffering a left calf injury in Game 2. If Jackson is unable to suit up, Christian Braun and Justin Holiday are candidates to receive increased playing time. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 1:37 pm
       
    • Luka Doncic (knee) probable for Game 2 Thursday
      Luka Doncic (right knee sprain) is probable to play in Game 2 against the Thunder on Thursday.

      Advice: Head coach Jason Kidd said that Doncic was able to fully participate in practice, so he should be able to be available once again despite this knee sprain. He’ll look to bounce back after only scoring 19 points in Game 1. Rotoworld Wednesday, 12:05 pm
       
    • Practices, probable for Game 2
      Coach Jason Kidd said Doncic (knee) practiced Wednesday and is probable for Thursday's Game 2 against the Thunder, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

      Advice: Doncic continues to play through a right knee sprain but was far from his best in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals, as he finished with 19 points (6-19 FG) and five turnovers. The MVP candidate is shooting just 39.5 percent during the postseason but remains productive and is averaging 28.3 points, 9.4 assists, 8.4 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 42.3 minutes per game.

    • Luka Doncic held to 19 points in Game 1 loss
      Luka Doncic struggled on Tuesday and only finished with 19 points (6-of-19 FGs, 6-of-10 FTs), six rebounds, nine assists, two steals, one triple and five turnovers against Oklahoma City in Game 1.

      Advice: Lu Dort had Doncic in the Dorture Chamber in this game, which is a matchup that Mark Daigneault will continue to deploy. However, that doesn’t mean that it will continue to work like it did in this game. Luka deals with the full attention of the opposing team’s best defender every night, so this is nothing new. As one of the league’s best players, Doncic should be able to bounce back in Game 2 on Thursday, and if Dallas wants to steal a game in OKC, they’ll need him to. Rotoworld Tuesday, 9:21 pm
