With Kyrie Irving also sidelined, the Mavericks started Spencer Dinwiddie and Quentin Grimes in the backcourt for Thursday's loss to the Clippers. Irving will be available for Saturday's rematch, which should leave Grimes in the starting lineup as Doncic's replacement. Dinwiddie will also figure more prominently in the rotation and is worth streaming in deep leagues.
After sitting out Thursday's loss to the Clippers, Irving fully participated in Friday's practice. His availability for Saturday's rematch means Spencer Dinwiddie will likely head to the bench, losing some of his streaming value. However, with Luka Doncic out, he's worth holding onto in deep leagues.
Hardy's continued absence will not significantly impact fantasy basketball, even with Luka Doncic also sidelined. Spencer Dinwiddie and Quentin Grimes are available, meaning Hardy would not have many minutes to play.
Coach Jason Kidd said that Doncic (heel) did some on-court work during Friday's practice, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
Thompson attempted to lift Dallas without Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving but fell short despite his strong scoring performance. His scoring average is the lowest it's been since his rookie season and his efficiency has been down as well since relocating from Golden State.
