Luka Doncic (thigh) doubtful Monday for Dallas
Dallas Mavericks small forward Luka Doncic (right thigh contusion) is doubtful to play Monday versus the Philadelphia 76ers.
What It Means:
Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle said the team will be cautious with Doncic's return, so it's not a surprise to see him headed for a second straight absence. Courtney Lee (9 points, 1 steal, 2 3-pointers) started in place of the rookie on Sunday, but Trey Burke (25 points, 8 dimes, 4 treys) benefitted the most off the bench.
Doncic is averaging 21.1 points, 7.6 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 1.1 steals, 2.3 triples, and 39.9 FanDuel points per game.
