That isn't expected to change anytime soon. However, with the Mavs having last played on Saturday, he had plenty of time to get ready for the meeting with his former team. It will be an emotional contest for Davis, that's for sure. With that in mind, he should be fired up and ready to rock, giving him plenty of upside for DFS managers on Wednesday night.
