  • 58-121-1 11th Place
    • Double-double not enough in Game 1
      Doncic registered 30 points (12-26 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 2-5 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and two steals across 38 minutes during Thursday's 107-89 loss to Boston in Game 1 of the NBA Finals.

      Advice: Doncic was the Mavericks' best player by a wide margin in the Game 1 loss, but his efforts were not enough, and at times, he looked extremely isolated on offense, as if he was the only player trying to create something out of nothing. The Celtics suffocated him with intense marking and pressure all over the court every time he had the ball, and the rest of the Mavericks didn't do enough to warrant attention from the defense when Doncic managed to find an open teammate. Expect Doncic to continue having a high usage rate in Game 2 on Sunday, but his teammates will likely need to be more impactful if Dallas is to steal that game on Boston's homecourt.

    • Luka Doncic scores game-high 30 in Game 1 defeat
      Luka Doncic shot 12-of-26 from the field and 2-of-5 from the foul line in Thursday’s loss to the Celtics, scoring 30 points with 10 rebounds, one assist, two steals, and four 3-pointers in 38 minutes.

      Advice: Doncic was relatively effective as a scorer, but he could not do much playmaking for others in his NBA Finals debut. Boston did its best to avoid committing too many bodies to defending Doncic, resulting in a postseason-low one assist. Also, Luka was responsible for four of Dallas’ ten turnovers on the night. It would be wise to avoid overreacting to Game 1, as the Mavericks dropped their series openers against the Clippers and Thunder. But Doncic’s assist tally will be something to track moving forward.

    • Available for Game 1
      Doncic (knee) will be available for Game 1 of the NBA Finals versus Boston on Thursday, as expected.

      Advice: Doncic was listed as probable on the initial injury report, just like he has been throughout the playoffs, and that trend will likely continue throughout the Finals. He shouldn't have any minutes restrictions and should be ready to shoulder a heavy load on offense. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 4:36 pm
       
    • Luka Doncic (ankle, knee) available for Game 1
      Luka Doncic (left ankle soreness, right knee sprain) is available for Thursday’s NBA Finals opener against the Celtics.

      Advice: Initially probable for Game 1, Doncic has unsurprisingly been cleared to play. He will take on his usual workload, likely hitting 40 minutes, if not exceeding that number. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:34 pm
       
    • Luka Doncic (ankle, knee) probable for Game 1
      Luka Doncic (left ankle soreness, right knee sprain) is probable for Thursday’s NBA Finals opener against the Celtics.

      Advice: Doncic is officially probable due to the same injuries he played through during the Western Conference Finals. Simply put, it will take a wild turn of events for him to sit out Game 1 of the NBA Finals. Doncic will take on his usual workload. Rotoworld Wednesday, 3:34 pm
       
    • Deemed probable for Game 1
      Doncic is probable for Game 1 of the NBA Finals against the Celtics on Thursday despite a right knee sprain and left ankle soreness, Mike Curtis of The Detroit News reports.

      Advice: Doncic has been a regular on the injury report all postseason but hasn't missed a game, averaging 28.8 points, 9.6 rebounds, 8.8 assists and 1.6 steals in 41.5 minutes across 17 appearances. The superstar point guard shouldn't face any restrictions during Game 1 in Boston. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 1:55 pm
       
    • Playoff woes amid uncertainty
      Anderson averaged 4.3 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 0.7 steals and 0.3 blocks across 15.3 minutes in 15 playoff appearances.

      Advice: Anderson will be an unrestricted free agent this season, and his future in Minnesota is currently unclear. The 30-year-old averaged 6.4 points, 4.2 assists, 3.5 rebounds, 0.9 steals and 0.6 blocks across 79 regular-season games, a slight decline from just a year before. However, the veteran wing could be useful for many contending teams and is bound to have several suitors this offseason. Rotowire.com Sunday, 8:30 am
       
    • Kyle Anderson hopes to return to Minnesota
      During his season-ending media availability, pending free agent forward Kyle Anderson said he hopes to remain with the Timberwolves.

      Advice: A reliable option off the bench for the Timberwolves, Anderson will be an unrestricted free agent this summer. In 79 games, SloMo averaged 6.4 points, 3.5 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 0.9 steals, and 0.6 blocks in 22.6 minutes, shooting 46.0% from the field and 70.8% from the foul line. Anderson hopes that he and the Timberwolves come to terms on a new deal, with the fit being good on and off the court. “My family’s here,” Anderson said on Friday. “My son is on the spectrum. He’s doing really well here in the Minnesota school system, and his development is really key. And he’s doing so well, so, you know, that plays a part into it.” While he will have value among playoff-caliber teams, Anderson’s decision is unlikely to impact fantasy basketball significantly.

    • Struggles with efficiency
      Anderson provided seven points (3-9 FG, 1-4 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 33 minutes during Thursday's 124-103 loss to the Mavericks in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals.

      Advice: Anderson's 33 minutes played in Game 5 were his highest of the series, largely due to his role in guarding Luka Doncic. Anderson will end the Western Conference Finals averaging 7.4 points, 3.4 assists and 2.8 rebounds in 22.4 minutes across the five contests. The 30-year-old forward will head into the offseason as an unrestricted free agent. Anderson's future in Minnesota is uncertain as he went from averaging 28.4 minutes across 69 appearances, including 46 starts in 2022-23, to 22.6 minutes across 79 appearances, just 10 of which were starts, in 2023-24.
