On the eve of the NBA Trade Deadline, the Dallas Mavericks and Memphis Grizzlies met at the American Airlines Center Wednesday night. It was jut their second meeting this season, and the first appearance from both Kristaps Porzingis and Memphis’ rookie star Ja Morant.
The Mavericks were without All-Star Luka Doncic for the fourth straight game, as he continues recovery from a second sprained ankle. And as has been a recurring theme in Doncic’s absence, it was a Kristaps Porzingis feature presentation.
Porzingis, who has battled finding rhythm with his shot this season, has looked his most comfortable recently and it couldn’t come at a better time.
