During the 2017-18 playoffs, Hood struggled in Cleveland. He averaged 5.4 points and 1.1 assists while shooting 42% from the field. In the series against the Raptors, he shot 15% from three. However, in game 3 against the Warriors, he came back to his normal self, scoring 15 points with 6 rebounds and 2 blocks. Hood shot 7-11 from the field. This was more what we were used to seeing from Rodney Hood.
In Utah Hood averaged 13.1 points a game while shooting 41% from the field. Hood is terrific at creating his own shot. This could really help the Mavs offence.
