  • 11-8-1 8th Place
    • Close to double-double in Game 6
      Lively supplied 10 points (3-3 FG, 4-8 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one steal across 24 minutes during Friday's 114-101 victory over the Clippers in Game 6 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Lively was perfect from the field, active on the glass and efficient in limited minutes out there. The rookie has shown he can be a valuable contributor on both ends of the court when called upon duty, but his fantasy upside won't be high if he continues to play off the bench.

    • Shines in series-clinching win
      Doncic accumulated 28 points (9-26 FG, 1-10 3Pt, 9-11 FT), seven rebounds, 13 assists, one block and one steal in 43 minutes during Friday's 114-101 win over the Clippers in Game 6 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Kyrie Irving led the way for the Mavericks on offense, and Doncic didn't have his most efficient display, but he filled the stat sheet admirably and finished just three rebounds away from a triple-double. The fact that he surpassed the 25-point mark in all but one of the six games in the series against the Clippers shows how dominant Doncic can be on offense, and the numbers don't lie, as he averaged 29.8 points, 9.5 assists and 8.8 rebounds per game in the first round, posting four double-doubles and one triple-double in the process.

    • Luka Doncic tallies 28 points, 13 assists Friday
      Luka Doncic shot 9-of-26 from the field and 9-of-11 from the foul line in Friday’s Game 6 win over the Clippers, tallying 28 points, seven rebounds, 13 assists, one steal, one block, and one 3-pointer in 43 minutes.

      Advice: Doncic was 1-of-10 from three in Game 6, but that issue did not preclude the Mavericks from wrapping up the series in six games. Efficiency was an issue for the Mavericks’ star point guard, but that did not sap his overall effectiveness. He’ll need to clean that up, as the competition will only get stronger. Doncic and the Mavericks will face Oklahoma City in the second round, with Game 1 scheduled for Tuesday night. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:29 pm
       
    • Doubtful to return
      Kleber is doubtful to return to Friday's Game 6 against the Clippers due to a right shoulder sprain, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

      Advice: Barring a quick, surprising turnaround, Kleber is unlikely to return to Friday's contest. Given the nature of the injury, a return for a potential Game 7 on Sunday could be up in the air as well. In Kleber's absence, Derrick Jones could see some extra minutes providing depth at power forward. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:48 pm
       
    • Maxi Kleber (shoulder) doubtful to return Friday
      Maxi Kleber (right shoulder sprain) is doubtful to return to Friday’s game against the Clippers.

      Advice: Kleber fell hard on his right shoulder on a shot attempt after colliding with Clippers wing Amir Coffey. The veteran forward did stay in the game to shoot his free throws but was subbed out on the ensuing Clippers possession. Kleber’s absence means an increase in minutes for Daniel Gafford and Dereck Lively II. Rotoworld Yesterday, 7:46 pm
       
    • Still sidelined
      Prosper (ankle) won't play in Friday's Game 6 against the Clippers.

      Advice: Prosper's absence streak will extend to four games Friday due to a. left ankle sprain. However, the rookie forward is unlikely to be a significant factor in Dallas' playoff rotation when healthy. Rotowire.com Thursday, 2:44 pm
       
    • Out for Game 6
      Hardaway (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's Game 6 matchup with the Clippers.

      Advice: Hardaway will miss a fourth consecutive game due to a right ankle sprain. Josh Green should continue to see a boosted role while Hardaway is on the mend from the injury. Rotowire.com Thursday, 2:41 pm
       
    • Hardaway Jr., Maxence-Prosper out again Friday
      Tim Hardaway Jr. (right ankle sprain) and Olivier Maxence-Prosper (left ankle sprain) will remain sidelined for Game 6 against the Clippers on Friday.

      Advice: Both players will remain sidelined once again, which means that Josh Green and Dante Exum will be the primary guard options off the bench. However, with Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving soaking up most of the backcourt minutes, they won’t play a significant amount of time. Rotoworld Thursday, 2:38 pm
       
    • Perfect from field Wednesday
      Lively racked up 12 points (5-5 FG, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one block over 25 minutes during Wednesday's 123-93 win over the Clippers in Game 5 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

      Advice: Lively was a perfect 5-of-5 from the field, outplaying Daniel Gafford despite coming off the bench. The Mavericks have the luxury of being able to lean on both players equally, providing them flexibility when one is outplaying the other. Lively and Gafford will once again be front and center when the two teams line up again Friday. Rotowire.com Thursday, 2:52 am
