Is Luka Doncic playing tonight against the Miami Heat? (1st April, 2023)

The Dallas Mavericks are currently in a tight spot as they have stumbled down to the 11th seed with only 5 games remaining. The team which made the Western Conference finals last year in a convincing manner is now struggling for a play-in spot, despite an upgraded roster. Luka Doncic joined hands with All-Star guard Kyrie Irving as the latter was traded away by the Brooklyn Nets at the trade deadline.

The Mavericks are currently 37-40 after a string of losses to the underdogs Charlotte Hornets. Although Doncic missed quite a lot of games in mid-March, Irving and co made a decent effort in holding the team together. The Mavericks are 5-10 without Doncic this season and the road ahead is not easy. The Mavericks will be visiting Miami on Saturday night as a part of their 5-game road trip. Coming off a Loss to the Philadelphia 76ers, The Mavericks would rely heavily on Doncic to get past the Heat and improve their chances of a Play-in Qualification.
