The Mavs will rest stars Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis on Saturday against the Atlanta Hawks.

The Mavs played on Friday, so they are just resting Doncic and Porzingis on the second night of a back to back.

Luka Doncic was listed as out with right ankle soreness for the visit to the Hawks on Saturday night. Fellow European star Kristaps Porzingis also is sitting to rest his surgically repaired left knee. It's the third straight back-to-back Porzingis has missed.
