Luka Doncic (nose) could sit Tuesday for Mavericks
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (nose) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Brooklyn Nets.
What It Means:
Doncic was questionable ahead of Monday's game versus the Philadelphia 76ers due to a sore ankle, but now he's dealing with a nasal contusion. There will be more ball-handling opportunities for Kyrie Irving (thumb) if Doncic is held out. Tim Hardaway, Jaden Hardy, and Josh Green also stand to benefit.
Luka has the highest salary in the NBA on Tuesday, at $12,600, and numberFire's models project him to lead all players with 60.7 FanDuel points. Per our NBA Heat Map, the Mavs' implied total (120.0) is No. 4 out of 14 active teams today. Kyrie ($9,300) is averaging 50.3 FanDuel points across five games without Luka this season.
