Kristaps Porzingis (knee) ruled out again for Mavericks in Game 5
Dallas Mavericks forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (sore right knee) is listed as out for Game 5 against the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday.
What It Means:
Porzingis' MRI on his sore right knee came back negative, but he will miss at least one more game. Trey Burke was inserted into the starting lineup on Sunday after Porzingis was scratched minutes before tip-off. Burke, Seth Curry, and Boban Marjanovic should all see more minutes on Tuesday. Porzingis' absence also sets Luka Doncic up for another monstrous performance.
Burke scored 36.5 FanDuel points in Game 4. He costs $4,400 on Tuesday. Doncic comes with an $11,000 price tag after pouring in 84.9 FanDuel points last game.
