Dallas finished the week 1-3 with a crazy, double overtime win against the Lakers, two losses against Portland, and a third against the Clippers. Tim Hardaway Jr. missed the game Sunday night in Portland due to an ankle injury he suffered the night before. Luka Doncic missed the game as well, but for rest disguised as injury management. Dorian Finney-Smith and Josh Green, originally likely to make their debut on Dallas’ road trip, are now approaching a month since their last game.
Team grade: C-
The injury bug has hit Dallas hard. Their defense has been horrid, their offense has almost no flow, and the decisions being made by Dallas’ leadership to try and combat their lack of depth has cost them.
