Jalen Brunson starting for Mavericks Sunday in place of injured Luka Doncic
Dallas Mavericks guard Jalen Brunson is in the lineup Sunday in the team's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
What It Means:
Luka Doncic will miss the next two games due to a sprained ankle. As a result, there is a vacancy in the starting five. For now, that role will go to Brunson, who is getting the nod at point guard to captain the offense.
Our models project Brunson for 16.9 points, 4.9 rebounds, 6.2 assists and 32.7 FanDuel points across 34.9 minutes of action.
