Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic (ankle) is participating in the morning shootaround ahead of Friday's game against the Boston Celtics.
Doncic's participation is a positive sign for his status on Friday night after the Mavericks listed him as questionable on the injury report. Kyrie Irving will have a higher usage rate if Doncic is sidelined. There would also be more opportunities for Jaden Hardy and Tim Hardaway Jr.
numberFire's models project Luka to lead the Main slate on Friday with 56.1 FanDuel points. Per our NBA Heat Map, the Mavs' implied total (112.75) is No. 8 out of 14 teams on the Main slate. Luka scored 77.1 FanDuel points against the Celtics in their first matchup this season.
