Mavericks' Deron Williams: Doubtful for Monday

Williams (toe) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Nuggets, Earl K. Sneed of Mavs.com reports.

Analysis:

The Mavericks were hopeful that Williams might be able to return from a five-game absence Monday, but after being reevaluated prior to the team's shootaround, it appears the veteran point guard is still limited. Williams will continue to be evaluated on a day-to-day basis, but assuming he remains out for the first half of the back-to-back set Monday, Yogi Ferrell would likely draw a fifth straight start at point guard and potentially receive a 35-to-40-minute workload.
