Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (Achilles) is questionable for Friday's rematch with the Sacramento Kings. It's common to see Doncic on the injury report. However, his latest ailment, Achilles soreness, has bothered him for weeks. He logged 32 minutes when these clubs met on Tuesday, finishing with 28 points, 11 rebounds, six assists, and two steals. The Mavs would love another win over the Kings to widen the gap in the Western Conference standings, meaning Doncic should be in the lineup. But if he doesn't suit up, Kyrie Irving would be a lock for all DFS contests. There would also be room for Dante Exum, P.J. Washington, and Tim Hardaway Jr. to get more involved on the scoring end.
Detroit Pistons guard/forward Quentin Grimes (knee) will not play against Washington on Friday due to a knee injury. Grimes has suited up in just six tilts since January 30th. Simone Fontecchio (toe) will also be unavailable. Additionally, Cade Cunningham (knee/rest) and Jaden Ivey (knee) are listed as questionable. With several Pistons potentially sidelined, Marcus Sasser could be relied upon in a short-handed backcourt. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, Sasser only holds a little fantasy value.
Detroit Pistons guard/forward Quentin Grimes (knee) will not play against Minnesota on Wednesday due to a knee injury. This is his eighth consecutive game missed due to a right knee contusion. Simone Fontecchio (toe) will also be unavailable. Additionally, Cade Cunningham (knee/rest) is listed as questionable after missing multiple games. As a result, Jaden Ivey and Marcus Sasser are expected to continue leading the short-handed backcourt. Sasser only holds a little fantasy value, but Ivey is averaging 15.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 3.7 assists across 68 regular season tilts.
Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber (knee) will play on Tuesday versus Sacramento. Dallas needs a win on Tuesday night, so it's all hands on deck for this one. Luka Doncic (Achilles) is available, which is undoubtedly good news. And while Kleber provides depth for the Mavs, he's only averaged 2.2 points and 2.7 rebounds in the last 10 games, meaning he's not worth considering for DFS contests.
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (Achilles) will play on Tuesday against the Sacramento Kings. The 25-year-old logged 41 minutes in Monday's win over the Utah Jazz. However, he popped up on the injury report on Tuesday because of Achilles soreness. But Dallas is fighting to secure at least a sixth seed in the Western Conference, so it would have taken a lot to keep Doncic off the floor for this one. As usual, he is in the MVP conversation and remains a lock for all fantasy lineups. Yet, Doncic has averaged 26.5 points in two meetings with Sacramento this season, meaning he may not be as productive as usual.
