Luka Doncic (heel) ruled out for Mavericks' Saturday matchup
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (heel) will not play in Saturday's game against the Golden State Warriors.
What It Means:
Doncic will sit out on Saturday after the Mavericks' superstar was forced to leave on Thursday with a heel injury. In a matchup versus a Warriors' team ranked 16th in defensive rating, expect Josh Green and Spencer Dinwiddie to see a bump in usage while Doncic is inactive.
Per Rotogrinders' Court IQ in 374.2 minutes this season with Doncic off the floor, Green is averaging 0.70 FanDuel points and a 14.7% usage rate while Dinwiddie's production stands at 1.17 FanDuel points per minute with a 30.2% usage rate in a 671.0 minutes sample size.
