We provide the facts as well as thought provoking posts on what the Mavs are doing well and what it will take for Dirk Nowitzki and crew to bring an NBA Title to Dallas.
Devin Harris has the reputation of being a great defender and this season he’s adding offense to his game. Harris has played in 12 games this season and he’s averaged 31.6 minutes, 16.2 points, 3.1 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.6 steals per game. If Harris keeps playing like he is on offense the Mavericks will be even better than they were last season and that’s hard to fathom.
Eddie Jones will be out until early December with a sprained ankle. Jones has played in 5 games (all starts) this season for the Mavericks and he has averaged 19.0 minutes, 2.6 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game. Jones also has had a terrible time shooting the ball as he has only hit 26.3% of his shots from the floor. Jones better play much better than that when he returns or he will lose playing time.
