Jaden Hardy

While Washington was initially doubtful for Thursday's game, Irving was considered questionable. Both will sit, with Naji Marshall remaining in the starting lineup as Washington's replacement. As for who steps into the void left by Irving, Spencer Dinwiddie and Jaden Hardy should see their minutes increase.

Irving is a little banged up after scoring 21 points in a loss to the Warriors his last time out. The Mavericks guard hasn't missed a game this season and could be replaced by Spencer Dinwiddie or Jaden Hardy if ruled out. Luka Doncic's ceiling will rise without his backcourt partner.

Doncic is officially available for Sunday's showdown in Denver and will occupy his usual place in the starting lineup. If there are any issues, Spencer Dinwiddie and Jaden Hardy will be in line for additional playing time.

Doncic was injured during Friday's loss to the Suns, a game in which he played 42 minutes. With Stein reporting that the Mavericks star will play, Dallas can stick with their current starting lineup. Spencer Dinwiddie and Jaden Hardy will miss out on potential boosts to their respective fantasy values.

Doncic suffered the injury during Friday's loss to the Suns but still played 42 minutes. If he does not play against the Nuggets, Spencer Dinwiddie and Jaden Hardy's minutes will increase. Of the two, Dinwiddie may have a greater chance of sliding into the starting lineup.
