3 years agoDallas Mavericks forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (rest) will sit out Sunday's matchup against Oklahoma City, while three players return to action, with Luka Doncic among them. Tim Hardaway Jr. and Maxi Kleber are also set to play. The trio has been sitting in health and safety protocols, and Doncic also missed some time with an ankle sprain last month. It will be great to see him back out there, and hopefully, he's fully healed from the ankle issue. With Porzingis sidelined, the stage is perfectly set for Doncic to make a big comeback. Kleber also benefits from the Latvian's absence and should take on a lot of his minutes. Doncic's return is bad news for Jalen Brunson, although he should still play a significant role with Dallas missing a number of players.--Taavi Pailk - RotoBaller
