Jalen Brunson starting for Mavericks Saturday in place of injured Luka Doncic
Dallas Mavericks guard Jalen Brunson will start Saturday in the team's game against the Memphis Grizzlies.
What It Means:
Star point guard Luka Doncic is dealing with a sore left ankle, and as a result, the team will play it safe and hold him out of Saturday's tilt. His absence is vacating a starting spot in the backcourt. Jalen Brunson will enter the lineup up top.
Our models project Brunson for 19.0 points, 4.9 rebounds, 6.8 assists and 36.0 FanDuel points across 34.3 minutes of action.
