Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (heel) has been listed as doubtful for Saturday's game against the Warriors. Thursday's 118-110 loss to Minnesota marked the 11th consecutive game Irving has missed, and his return on Saturday appears unlikely, but the fact that Irving is now carrying a doubtful tag is a sign that he could be available soon. Dante Exum's fantasy value will take a big hit once Irving is ready to return.

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (heel) will remain on the sidelines for Thursday's contest against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Irving continues to nurse a right heel contusion and carries no clear timetable for a return, last appearing for Dallas on Dec. 8. Before going down, the 31-year-old offensive wizard was pouring in 23.0 points, 5.2 assists, 2.5 treys, and 1.2 steals per game. Without any indication that Irving is practicing, we would tentatively place him on the wrong side of questionable to play on Saturday when the Mavs visit the Golden State Warriors. All fantasy managers can do is stay patient. Head coach Jason Kidd will have to dig deep for a competitive rotation with Luka Doncic (quad) also out against the vaunted Wolves defense on Thursday, setting up Dante Exum, Jaden Hardy, and Seth Curry to run the offense and Tim Hardaway Jr. to have the greenest of shooting lights.

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (heel) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. The tally of missed games will reach six on Wednesday for Irving, who remains on the shelf with a right heel contusion that he suffered on Dec. 8. Dallas is yet to provide a definitive timeline for Irving's return, so he would appear rather unlikely to play on Friday for a Southwest Division clash with the Houston Rockets. It's been a Luka Doncic takeover for the 16-10 Mavericks in Irving's stead, with Doncic compiling 33.3 points, 11.6 assists, 9.3 rebounds, 4.0 three-pointers, and 1.2 steals in nine games without Irving in 2023-24. Dante Exum is averaging 17.0 points on a sizzling 74.4% field-goal clip with 3.6 assists and 2.4 threes in 29.7 minutes across his last five dates, so the former No. 5 overall pick is worth riding in fantasy hoops until the wheels fall off.

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (heel) will miss a third consecutive game on Thursday versus Minnesota. He injured his right heel against Portland last week. Irving is wearing a walking boot and using crutches, so it might take a while until he's ready to play again. Seth Curry (ankle) moved into the starting lineup as Irving's replacement at the start of the week, but he's now nursing an injury himself. Dante Exum has stepped up on the Mavericks backcourt lately and should be a prominent figure again on Thursday, while Jaden Hardy also benefits from the injuries.

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (heel) will not play on Tuesday against the Los Angeles Lakers. Irving was diagnosed with a right heel contusion in the aftermath of Friday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers, leaving him without a firm timetable for a return. Irving will have another opportunity to play on Thursday versus the Minnesota Timberwolves, and we'll consider him day-to-day until we hear more. The skilled 31-year-old scorer is averaging 23.0 points, 5.2 assists, and 2.5 threes in 31.8 minutes across 17 games during his first full year with the Mavs. Dante Exum, averaging 14.0 points, 5.8 assists, 4.3 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 1.3 three-pointers over his last four games, is a legitimate fantasy streaming option with Irving not around on Tuesday. Jaden Hardy got hot for 19 points, five triples, and four assists on Monday, but his role in head coach Jason Kidd's rotation would not be set in stone if Tim Hardaway Jr. (back) is active.

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (heel) underwent an MRI after exiting Friday's win over the Portland Trail Blazers. Luckily, the veteran avoided a serious injury, with results revealing a heel contusion. Since then, he's returned to Dallas for treatment. However, the Mavs might be without him for a while, judging by Irving's history. The former Brooklyn Net has appeared in 17 games this season, averaging 23.0 points, 5.2 assists, and 1.2 steals. As a result, Luka Doncic is expected to pick up most of the load on the scoring end. But guys like Dante Exum, who had 23 points on Friday, and Derrick Jones Jr. may see more attention from fantasy managers.

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (foot) and forward Tim Hardaway Jr. (back) are both available on Wednesday against the Utah Jazz. The Mavericks get back their second and third scoring options for Wednesday's matchup. Irving couldn't play in Saturday's game versus the Oklahoma City Thunder due to right foot soreness, but he'll return to excellent averages of 23.1 points, 5.5 assists, 2.6 threes and 1.1 steals over 15 games. On the heels of a monster 36-point, 18-assist, and 15-rebound triple-double last Friday, Luka Doncic should have fewer offensive responsibilities. Back spasms have kept Hardaway out of the Mavs' previous two contests, but he'll re-enter head coach Jason Kidd's lineup with averages of 16.8 points and a career-high 3.4 treys in 17 games as the sixth man. The sharpshooting Seth Curry (12 points in 36 minutes last Friday) is not an advisable fantasy choice with THJ off the injury report against Utah.

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (foot) and forward Tim Hardaway Jr. (back) are both questionable for Wednesday against the Utah Jazz. Dallas would appear to have a good chance to get Irving and Hardaway back from their respective injuries, after the two sharpshooters were also at Monday's practice. Irving couldn't go for Saturday's game versus the Oklahoma City Thunder due to right foot soreness, but his presence at practice would suggest he's on the right side of the questionable tag for Wednesday. Fresh off a mammoth 36-point, 18-assist, and 15-rebound triple-double last Friday, Luka Doncic would have less on his plate if his running mate returns. Back spasms have held Hardaway out of the Mavs' latest two matchups, on the other hand, but the sharpshooting Seth Curry (12 points in 36 minutes Friday) would be safe to discard back to fantasy waiver wires if THJ gets the green light against Utah.

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (foot) and forward Tim Hardaway Jr. (back) participated in practice on Monday. Though role players Grant Williams (knee), Josh Green (elbow), and Maxi Kleber (toe) were all out of Monday's session, Dallas would seem to have a good opportunity to get Irving and Hardaway back from their respective injuries. Irving couldn't suit up for Saturday's game versus the Oklahoma City Thunder with right foot soreness, but his presence at practice would suggest he's on the right side of questionable for Wednesday's tilt vs. the Utah Jazz. Back spasms have kept Hardaway out of the Mavs' latest two contests, on the other hand, but he'll hope to rejoin head coach Jason Kidd's lineup alongside Irving against the Jazz. It remains to be seen if the two offensive-minded contributors are able to continue practicing ahead of Wednesday's action, but we'll keep a close eye on their statuses up until then.

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (foot) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The superstar guard will take a seat alongside teammates Josh Green (elbow) and Tim Hardaway Jr. (back) on Saturday. This will leave the Mavs extremely shorthanded, so expect Luka Doncic to carry the offense. Also, Seth Curry and Jaden Hardy should see more minutes and expanded roles in the rotation. Both should be worth looking at as streaming options for Saturday.

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (foot) is out for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. A left foot sprain will cost Irving his third contest of the campaign on the second end of a back-to-back set for Dallas. The 31-year-old superstar now sets his sights on Saturday's showdown with the Bucks in Milwaukee for a possible return. Irving is providing second-round numbers in 12-team 9-category leagues with 22.3 points, 6.7 assists, 2.8 triples, and 1.2 steals per game during his first full year in Dallas. Josh Green was the primary fantasy beneficiary when Kyrie missed Oct. 30 and Nov. 1, joining head coach Jason Kidd's starting lineup on those occasions. Wednesday's setting in Washington easily offers the highest implied point total (241.5) of the eight-game slate, making Luka Doncic a convincing bet to go off for one of his vintage performances.

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (foot) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Washington Wizards. A right foot sprain is the culprit for Irving's appearance on the injury report, which probably won't be the last time we'll see him on the list this year. It's the second night of a back-to-back set for the Mavs, so Dallas could keep him out against Washington as a form of load management. Josh Green was the closest thing to a direct fantasy beneficiary when the 31-year-old eight-time All-Star sat out on Oct. 30 and Nov. 1, after Green moved into head coach Jason Kidd's starting group in those instances. Wednesday's date with the Wizards easily boasts the highest implied point total (244.5) of the eight-game slate, so Luka Doncic could go nuclear if he's without Irving in an environment pitting two of the NBA's highest-paced offenses against each other.

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving had a field day during the team's 136-124 win over the New Orleans Pelicans on Sunday. The All-Star guard finished with 35 points, seven assists, six rebounds, one block, and one turnover while shooting 13-for-20 from the floor and knocking down seven triples in the process. Irving couldn't be stopped no matter who guarded him and he didn't get to the line much either as he only shot and made two free throws in this contest. Whenever he's healthy, Irving is a threat to drop big points against any opponent.

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving has been upgraded to available on Monday night after head coach Jason Kidd said that he and Luka Doncic will both suit up for their game against the Orlando Magic. Irving should be deployed back into every fantasy manager's lineup now that he'll be playing. Doncic and Irving will likely put up some big stat lines to beat an upstart Magic squad currently sitting at fourth in the East. Since the superstar backcourt will be healthy and on the floor, Jaden Hardy and Dante Exum probably won't see enough minutes to be fantasy-relevant in shallow leagues.

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (foot) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Charlotte Hornets. The superstar guard is back on the injury report after playing on Friday. It appears he's dealing with a sprained right foot, but he should be able to play through the issue. Otherwise, Josh Green would likely shift into the starting five if Irving is unable to play. Green isn't a great streaming option even as a starter, so fantasy managers can probably find better value elsewhere.

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (foot) is now available for the team's Friday night game against the Denver Nuggets. The superstar combo guard was originally questionable due to a left-foot sprain, but it looks like it's on the mend and he's expected to play. With Irving back, Josh Green would likely move back to the bench, but he'll continue to get north of 25 minutes, even from a reserve spot. Seth Curry and Jaden Hardy will take the biggest fantasy hit, as they both become un-startable, even in deeper leagues.

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (foot) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls, per head coach Jason Kidd. Irving's left foot sprain will sideline him once more after being out for Monday's contest against the Memphis Grizzlies. The 31-year-old offensive wizard, who should be deemed day-to-day unless we hear otherwise, will try to return for Friday's meeting with the Denver Nuggets. Luka Doncic has paced Dallas in points per game (39.0) rebounds (11.7) and assists (9.7), so the counting-stat machine will require DFS players to pay top dollar for him without his sidekick on Wednesday. Tim Hardaway Jr. and Josh Green represent some cost-cutting options on the packed 13-game slate.

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (foot) is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Irving is tending to a left foot sprain that kept him out of Monday's contest against the Memphis Grizzlies, and he looks likely to be held out for another one. The 31-year-old superstar is off to a slow start in the initial two games of his first full year in Dallas, averaging 19.5 points (39.0% shooting), 6.0 assists, and 4.5 rebounds in 35.0 minutes. Assuming Irving is ultimately downgraded to out on Wednesday, we'd consider him day-to-day ahead of Friday's clash with the Denver Nuggets. Luka Doncic has led the Mavs in the points, boards, and dimes categories in each of their first three games, so look for similar ridiculousness out of him for however long his running mate remains out. Tim Hardaway Jr. and Josh Green were the primary beneficiaries of Irving's absence on Monday.

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (foot) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Chicago Bulls. The star guard was forced to miss their last game due to a left foot sprain. As a result, Josh Green moved into the starting five for that contest. The assumption is Green would start again if Irving is unable to play. He'd be a decent streaming option with extended run for Wednesday's slate. Fantasy managers will have to check back for another update on Irving's status.

Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving (foot) woke up with soreness in his left foot after their contest against Brooklyn, which is how he popped up on the injury report in the first place. Now head coach Jason Kidd says that Irving won't play altogether on Monday night. Against the Memphis Grizzlies, Luka Doncic will probably see a sky-high usage rate, while Tim Hardaway Jr. will seemingly move up into the starting spot. Hardaway has had a hot start to the season and serves as a good streaming option for threes, points, and a handful of rebounds and assists.
