Is Luka Doncic playing tonight? Mavericks at Heat injury update for April 1

Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic dropped a 34-point double-double in a blowout win over the Miami Heat back in January. There was no stopping number 77 that night in Dallas, but can he replicate it in Miami? Dallas has lost eight of their last 11 games, and they desperately need wins down the stretch to move up in the standings. The Mavs are currently 11th and outside the postseason entirely.

The Heat have lost three straight, and they currently sit seventh in the Eastern Conference. They are two games behind the Nets for sixth and the final guaranteed playoff spot. Making that up over five games is nearly impossible, and it would have to start with Miami winning out.

Will Luka Doncic face the Heat on Saturday night? It is the first of a back-to-back set for Dallas, but the Mavericks need every win just to reach the Play-In Tournament.

Doncic is not on the injury report, and he should play his normal workload on April Fool’s Day. Over his last five games, number 77 is nearly averaging a 30-point triple-double, and the Mavs will need a monster performance on Saturday afternoon to grab a much-needed win over the Heat. Miami needs wins too, so fans should expect an exciting matchup.
