The Mavericks finish the week 3-1 with Luka Doncic-less wins against the Jazz, Clippers, and Kings. Their only loss came on the night Doncic made his return, against the same Kings team they had beaten the night before. Kyrie Irving made his Dallas Mavericks debut against the Clippers on February 8th. Tim Hardaway Jr. left the Mavericks’ second matchup with Sacramento with a hamstring injury.
Team Grade: A
With all the craziness that is the trade deadline, Dallas made the most out of it on the floor. Their best win of the season came in the wake of the Kyrie Irving trade when they had no Doncic, no Irving, and incidentally, no problem beating the Jazz on the road.
