John Poulakidas • Dallas Mavericks
John Poulakidas finished Wednesday’s loss to the Suns with 23 points (8-of-12 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), one rebound, one assist, one block and five three-pointers.
Poulakidas had the best game of his young NBA career on Wednesday. In just his 11th appearance, the rookie led all players in made three-pointers on the night, which helped him reach the 20-point mark as a scorer for the first time in his career. Poulakidas’s role could be reduced if the Mavericks’ injured wings return before the season ends. If not, he will likely get more opportunities to close the regular season strong.
