Mavericks' Luka Doncic: Returns to injury report
Doncic is questionable for Tuesday's game against San Antonio due to left hamstring soreness.
Doncic's left hamstring soreness has made him a staple on the injury report throughout the past week, although his workload was unfazed en route to 27 shots in his return from a one-game absence during Sunday's victory over Denver. Dallas is likely to exercise an abundance of caution with injury, but every game counts for the Mavericks, who currently sit at seventh in the Western Conference. Doncic's status will need to be monitored in advance of Tuesday's contest.

Mavericks' Dante Exum: Likely available Tuesday
Exum (foot) is probable for Tuesday's game against the Spurs.
Exum continues to manage a right plantar fascia strain but should suit up for an 11th straight game. Over his past 10 appearances, he's averaged 5.4 points, 2.9 assists and 2.2 rebounds in 17.5 minutes per game.

Mavericks' Derrick Jones: Nearly double-doubles
Jones closed Sunday's 107-105 win over the Nuggets with nine points (4-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds and one assist over 24 minutes.
Jones nearly double-doubled and made the most of his 24 minutes Sunday. Usage isn't easy to come by in Dallas alongside Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving, so that explains Jones' inconsistent production.

Mavericks' Dereck Lively: Efficient output off bench
Lively chipped in 14 points (7-8 FG, 0-3 FT), eight rebounds and two blocks across 23 minutes during Sunday's 107-105 victory over the Nuggets.
Lively made the most of his opportunities off the bench in this one, missing just one shot from the field, ending close to a double-double and making his mark on the defensive end as well. However, Lively will continue to have a hard cap on his upside if he continues to play off the bench, with Daniel Gafford and P.J. Washington currently starting in the frontcourt.

Mavericks' Kyrie Irving: Hits game-winning shot Sunday
Irving ended with 24 points (9-23 FG, 4-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, nine assists, one block and three steals in 40 minutes during Sunday's 107-105 win over the Nuggets.
Irving didn't have his best shooting performance, as evidenced by the fact he needed 23 shots to score 24 points, but he came through when Dallas needed him the most, as he drained the game-winning shot in the dying stages of the fourth quarter. Irving has reached the 20-point mark in six of his eight appearances this month, averaging 23.4 points and 5.6 assists per game since the beginning of March.

Mavericks' Luka Doncic: Dazzles in battle vs. Nikola Jokic
Doncic closed Sunday's 107-105 victory over the Nuggets with 37 points (12-27 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 8-10 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and two steals in 40 minutes.
Doncic returned from a one-game absence due to a minor hamstring problem, and the star playmaker was magnificent Sunday, making an impact on offense and reaching the 35-point plateau for the 29th time in the current campaign. A triple-double threat every time he steps on the court, Doncic should be in line for another profitable matchup when facing the Spurs on Tuesday. He's averaging 34.1 points, 9.8 rebounds and 9.9 assists per game since the beginning of March.

Mavericks' Dante Exum: Will play Sunday
Exum (foot) is available for Sunday's game against the Nuggets.
Exum is available but will come off the bench, as Luka Doncic (hamstring) is returning from a one-game absence. Over his last nine appearances (one start), Exum has averaged 5.1 points, 3.1 assists and 2.1 rebounds in 17.4 minutes per game.

Mavericks' Josh Green: Out multiple weeks with ankle sprain
Head coach Jason Kidd said Sunday that Green is likely to miss at least a couple of weeks after suffering a right ankle sprain in Thursday's loss to Oklahoma City, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.
Green stepped on another player's foot while defending in transition Thursday, and the injury appears to be serious enough to sideline him for the rest of March. Though the fourth-year player had recently lost his spot in the starting five to Derrick Jones, his absence for the next few weeks will leave Dallas without a key perimeter defender.

Mavericks' Luka Doncic: Good to go Sunday
Doncic (hamstring) is available for Sunday's game against Denver, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.
Doncic will end up missing just one game due to the sore left hamstring that caused him to exit Wednesday's win over Golden State early. Given the brevity of his absence along with the fact that the Mavericks need every win they can get to avoid a spot in the Western Conference Play-In Tournament, Doncic isn't expected to face any restrictions Sunday.

Mavericks' Luka Doncic: On track to play Sunday
Doncic (hamstring), who remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Nuggets, is expected to return to play, NBA writer Marc Stein reports.
Doncic missed Thursday's loss to the Thunder with left hamstring soreness, but unless he experiences a setback leading up to the 3:30 p.m. ET tipoff Sunday, he looks poised to reclaim his heliocentric role in the Dallas offense. Doncic has feasted against Denver this season, averaging 36.0 points, 10.5 rebounds and 8.0 assists across two previous meetings.

Mavericks' Dante Exum: Iffy against Denver
Exum is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Nuggets due to a right plantar fascia sprain, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.
Exum started in Dallas' last contest with Luka Doncic (ankle) out. However, if Exum is unable to suit up Sunday, Jaden Hardy and Tim Hardaway could receive increased playing time.

Mavericks' Josh Green: Ruled out for Sunday
Green (ankle) will not play in Sunday's matchup with the Nuggets, Grant Afseth of SI.com reports.
Green sprained his right ankle in Friday's 126-119 loss to the Thunder, but subsequent X-rays came back negative. Still, the Mavericks will err on the side of caution by ruling him out Sunday. Green's next opportunity to suit up will come Tuesday in San Antonio. In the forward's absence, Tim Hardaway could see some extra run in the rotation.

Mavericks' Luka Doncic: Deemed questionable for Sunday
Doncic (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Nuggets, Eddie Sefko of the Mavericks' official site reports.
Doncic missed Dallas' previous contest with a hamstring issue but appears to have avoided a serious injury, as he was able to participate in Saturday's practice. With Dante Exum (foot) also questionable, Jaden Hardy and Tim Hardaway could receive increased playing time if Doncic can't suit up.

Mavericks' Olivier-Maxence Prosper: Returns from G League
Dallas recalled Prosper from the G League's Texas Legends on Saturday.
Prosper hasn't seen action for Dallas since March 1, and though he'll be available for Sunday's game against the Nuggets, he may not be included in head coach Jason Kidd's rotation.
