Dallas Mavericks

Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson will move into the starting lineup ahead of Monday's game against the San Antonio Spurs. The veteran guard will make his return to the starting lineup on Monday. His return will shift Brandin Podziemski to the second unit, but he should play a large role off the bench. Thompson has finished with 25 points or more in two straight games. Fantasy managers might want to ride the hot hand on Monday and go with Thompson.

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Quentin Grimes (knee) is on track to end a four-game absence on Monday versus Charlotte. He has been listed as probable for the game after being kept off the court by a right knee issue. Before getting hurt, Grimes was able to suit up four times for the Pistons, averaging 5.3 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 2.0 assists in 19.8 minutes. With Cade Cunningham and Jaden Ivey ruling the backcourt in Detroit, Grimes faces an uphill battle in an attempt to earn playing time.

Detroit Pistons guard/forward Quentin Grimes (knee) appears unlikely to play in Saturday's matchup against Dallas, as the team has listed him as doubtful on the injury report. The former Knick has arrived from New York with a knee issue and hasn't been able to play for the last three games due to right knee injury management. The trio of Marcus Sasser, Evan Fournier, and Simone Fontecchio benefits from Grimes' absence, with the latter the strongest fantasy option. However, even Fontecchio couldn't get anything going offensively against Brooklyn in the last game.

Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic (elbow) has been tagged as questionable ahead of Saturday's matchup against Detroit. After hurting his nose and right ankle in recent weeks, Doncic is now dealing with a right elbow sprain. The Mavericks leader might have to step out of the lineup after just becoming the second player in NBA history with five consecutive 30-point triple-doubles. Kyrie Irving has taken his scoring average to nearly 30.0 points in games without Doncic in Dallas. Tim Hardaway Jr. also figures to be more involved in the offense if Doncic doesn't play on Saturday. It's a great matchup for doing damage, with the Pistons among the worst teams in the league and giving up 120.8 points per game.

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic became the first player in NBA history to register four consecutive 35-point triple-doubles on Thursday in the 114-108 win over the Miami Heat. The Mavericks didn't have a lead in this game until the third quarter when Doncic put up 17 points, five assists, and five rebounds in that frame alone. In the end, he finished the game with 35 points, 11 rebounds, 11 assists, one steal, and four turnovers while shooting 12-for-24 from the floor and 7-for-13 from beyond the arc. He's on a historic tear right now and has the ability to win some fantasy matchups on his own. The Mavericks currently sit at the eighth seed in the West and are only nine games back from first with 19 games remaining.
