Dallas Mavericks DVOA, Stats, & NBA Rankings

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (shoulder) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Irving sat out of Thursday's game, but was able to practice on Friday without any issues. That being said, Irving will be back in the mix on Saturday, which is good news for the Mavs who will be without Luka Doncic (heel) for the second straight game. Irving figures to take on a bigger workload and a majority of the ball handling. Fantasy managers should make sure to get him in their lineups on Saturday.

Los Angeles Lakers center Anthony Davis (elbow) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Sacramento Kings. Davis is no stranger to the injury report but the left elbow injury is a new injury for the 31-year-old. Davis has fought through many of his injuries this season and has only missed one game. Given his ability to fight through injuries this season, and the fact the elbow injured isn't on his shooting side, fantasy managers should be hopeful that he'll be able to play through this one. The big man's averaged 27.5 PPG and 11.7 RPG this season, one of his best seasons since he finished third in the 2017-18 MVP race. Lakers fans will want Davis active as he grabbed 18 boards against the Kings on Thursday night. If he's unable to go, expect Christian Koloko to get more playing time.

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (shoulder) has been downgraded from questionable to out on Thursday night and will not suit up against the Los Angeles Clippers. The Mavs will be without both Irving and Luka Doncic (heel) so Spencer Dinwiddie and Quentin Grimes may both move into the starting five. Klay Thompson will likely need to step up in the scoring department as well. Dinwiddie and Grimes are both more likely to be available as streamers, but they both have more appeal in DFS lineups.

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Anthony Davis (foot) is considered probable for Thursday's action against Sacramento. He's battled a foot problem for the entire campaign but has missed only one contest, so it's safe to assume Davis will be out there on Thursday night. He's coming off a big 40-point double-double against Memphis and has looked back to his best lately after slumping earlier in the month. The Kings allow the second-fewest points in the league to opposing centers, but Davis produced a full line with 31 points on 10-for-15 shooting in the matchup when the teams met for the first time this season.

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (shoulder) has been listed as questionable for Thursday's matchup against the Clippers. With Luka Doncic (heel) on the shell, Irving would get to play a huge role in the contest, but he might join his backcourt mate on the sidelines on Thursday. However, Irving came through a full practice on Wednesday, so there's a good chance he will be available. Irving's offensive numbers have dipped this month, as he has been limited to 20.4 points per game.
