Quentin Grimes

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.

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.

Irving sat out Thursday's matchup with Los Angeles, but the practice participation is encouraging for his outlook in Saturday's rematch. If Irving is sidelined for a second straight game, expect Spencer Dinwiddie and Quentin Grimes to see increased playing time.

The Mavericks are without Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, opening up two spots in the starting lineup. Dinwiddie and Grimes will fill the resulting voids, making both viable streaming options. Thompson and Washington are also in line to see their fantasy values boosted, as there will be more shots to go around with Luka and Kyrie sidelined.

Irving will miss his first game since Dec. 1 in this Western Conference matchup. Spencer Dindwiddie and Quentin Grimes have a shot at forming a temporary starting backcourt for Dallas with both the Mavericks' stars out.
