Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic (ankle, knee) has been listed as probable for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Thunder. He's previously carried a questionable tag ahead of each game in the series. Injuries and Oklahoma City's tough defense have made life difficult for Doncic in the second-round series. He has pushed his rebounding numbers to 10.8 per game in the matchup, but his scoring average has dropped to 22.0 points. Doncic has also been limited to 7.8 assists, with barely 30 percent shooting from downtown.

Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic had a rough shooting night against the Thunder in Game 4 on Monday but found a way to record his second triple-double of the 2024 playoffs. He finished with 18 points, 12 rebounds, and 10 assists, shooting 6-for-20 from the field. Doncic once again shook off a questionable tag to take the court on Monday, but he was well off his best form, hitting 2-for-9 from downtown and committing seven turnovers. Defensively, Doncic contributed with two steals and one block. Following Monday night, Doncic is now shooting only 39 percent from the field in the second-round series. He's struggled for efficiency throughout the postseason, and it could end up being very costly for Dallas.

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (knee, ankle) is questionable for Monday's matchup versus OKC. Doncic has taken a beating throughout the postseason, resulting in multiple appearances on the injury report for various reasons. However, this isn't anything new, so DFS managers should expect to see him on the floor, especially with the Mavs looking to take a decisive lead in the series. With that said, Doncic, coming off a 22-point, 15-rebound, five-assist effort in the win on Saturday, remains the top fantasy option for Monday night, assuming he's available.

Dallas Mavericks point guard Luka Doncic (knee, ankle) has been listed as questionable for Saturday's Game 3 against Oklahoma City. He's recently played through a right knee sprain and now hurt his left ankle in Thursday's Game 2 win in a collision with Thunder guard Cason Wallace. Despite battling health issues, the Mavericks superstar enjoyed one of his best performances of the 2024 postseason on Thursday, netting 29 points with five treys and 11-for-21 shooting. He will likely remain in the lineup on Saturday as Dallas tries to grab a 2-1 series lead.

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic was close to another triple-double while leading the team to a win on the road in Game 2, which tied the series a game apiece. While he may have missed out on his first MVP, he didn't let that get in the way of a big road performance. Doncic posted 29 points, 10 rebounds, seven assists, three steals, one block, and one turnover. He also shot 11-for-21 from the floor and 5-for-8 from deep. With the series shifting back to Dallas for the next two games, Doncic will look to build on this momentum against an inexperienced Thunder squad.
