Dallas Mavericks DFS Spin
Luka Doncic shot 12-of-29 from the field and 9-of-10 from the foul line in Sunday’s 110-104 loss to the Hornets, scoring 40 points with 12 rebounds, eight assists, two steals, two blocks, and seven 3-pointers in 40 minutes. Despite getting off to a very slow start, Doncic finished with a robust overall stat line. But there’s another number of importance from Sunday’s defeat: 16. Doncic was assessed his 16th technical foul of the season, and unless the NBA overturns the call, he won’t be available for Monday’s game against the Pacers. Kyrie Irving (18/4/3/2/1 with two 3-pointers), who shot 5-of-15 from the field on Sunday, will be the sole point guard Monday night. As for who would move into the starting lineup, Tim Hardaway Jr. (15/5/1/1/1 with three 3-pointers) and Justin Holiday (one rebound and one assist) are the most likely options, with the former being the far better offensive option.

Tyrese Haliburton (right ankle sprain injury management) is questionable for Monday’s game against the Mavericks. Haliburton was also listed as questionable ahead of Saturday’s loss to the Hawks, a game he was ultimately cleared to play in. Should he not be available for Monday’s game, Buddy Hield could be back in the starting lineup after coming off the bench on Friday and Saturday. This would also enhance the fantasy value of Andrew Nembhard and T.J. McConnell.
