SACRAMENTO -- Luka Doncic is expected to play alongside his new All-Star backcourt partner Kyrie Irving for the first time Saturday night.
Doncic was upgraded to probable for the second game of a road back-to-back against the Sacramento Kings after missing the last four games due to a right heel contusion.
The Mavs, who lost the first seven games that Doncic missed this season, are on a three-game winning streak. That includes wire-to-wire victories over the LA Clippers and Kings in the two games since Irving joined the Mavs following a blockbuster trade with the Brooklyn Nets.
