Luka Doncic (hamstring) unavailable Thursday for Mavericks
Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (left hamstring soreness) is out for Thursday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
What It Means:
Doncic will sit out the second leg of the Mavericks' back-to-back after making an early exit from Wednesday's game against the Golden State Warriors. Dante Exum, Tim Hardaway Jr., and Jaden Hardy should see more playing time on Thursday night. Kyrie Irving will have more ball-handling opportunities with Doncic inactive.
Kyrie is averaging 50.3 FanDuel points per game without Luka this season, compared to 41.1 when both players active.
