Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (nose) has been upgraded to available ahead of Wednesday's contest against Toronto. The NBA's leading scorer will take the court for a second consecutive night after putting up 45 points against Cleveland on Tuesday. Doncic is averaging a near triple-double for the month and should have plenty of fun against a weak Raptors squad.
Dallas Mavericks guard Dante Exum (knee) will return to action on Wednesday versus Toronto. He'll be returning after a 13-game absence. It's not completely clear which role Exum will have, as there have been a lot of changes in Dallas since the last time he saw action. It's likely Exum will also be limited minutes-wise after being sidelined for over a month.
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (nose) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Doncic logged 41 minutes in Tuesday's deflating loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers, but he is expected to play through a broken nose on Wednesday despite the heavy workload. Over Doncic's last 13 appearances, the 25-year-old MVP candidate is racking up 37.2 points, 10.5 assists, 9.5 rebounds, 4.2 three-pointers, and 1.8 steals per game and has an unimposing matchup against a Raptors team that ranks 22nd in opponent field-goal percentage (48.6%).
Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber (nose) will be available for Tuesday's contest against Cleveland. He'll be in action for a third straight game after initially being listed as probable for the contest. Kleber has been pushed to the bench for the most recent games, but he's still seen healthy minutes. However, the 32-year-old tends to cruise through games without providing much for fantasy managers.
The Dallas Mavericks have upgraded guard Luka Doncic (nose) from probable to available for Tuesday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Doncic continues to battle through a broken nose, having not sat out since Jan. 31. Expect the NBA's current scoring leader to handle his usual allotment of minutes on the first night of Dallas' back-to-back set in a rigid matchup against a Cavs team that ranks first in the Eastern Conference in defensive efficiency (108.0).
