Luka Doncic (ankle) ruled out fifth straight for Mavericks
Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic (left ankle soreness) has been ruled out again for Tuesday versus the Minnesota Timberwolves.
What It Means:
Doncic will miss a fifth straight contest, which should mean another start for Jalen Brunson. Kristaps Porzingis (toe) is questionable, so the Mavericks may need to lean on Tim Hardaway Jr. heavily Tuesday night.
Brunson is averaging 33.2 FanDuel points with a 24.5% usage rate over the last four games without Doncic. numberFire's models currently project him for 34.9 minutes and 32.6 FanDuel points on Tuesday.
