Mavericks' Luka Doncic (illness) remains out on Saturday
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (illness) will not play in Saturday's contest against the New Orleans Pelicans.
What It Means:
Doncic will miss his second straight game after the Mavericks' star recently came down with a non-COVID illness. Expect Jalen Brunson to play a lead offensive role in a good matchup against a New Orleans' unit ranked 28th in defensive efficiency.
Brunson's current Saturday projection includes 15.3 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 4.0 assists.
