Garbage-time appearance
Prosper was rolled out during garbage time, a trend that seems unlikely to change anytime soon. As a player who is not an everyday part of the rotation, Prosper is averaging just 1.8 points and 1.4 rebounds in 6.1 minutes per game. Barring multiple injuries to players ahead of him, there is no reason to think he will be used in a meaningful role this season.

Drains five triples in win
Thompson found some much-needed rhythm on the offensive end, connecting on five three-pointers en route to 19 points. Although he remains one of the most proven perimeter scorers in the league, Thompson has struggled to find any consistency since arriving in Dallas. Across 15 games, he is averaging 14.0 points and 3.1 three-pointers per game, adding very little in terms of peripheral numbers.

Leads all scorers in return
Doncic returned from a one-game absence, dropping a game-high 26 points. With the Mavericks taking control of this one early, the coaching staff was able to put Doncic on ice down the stretch. His 30 minutes marked his second-lowest total in a game so far this season.

Moving back to bench
Luke Doncic will reclaim his starting spot from Grimes after missing Dallas' previous contest with a knee injury. Grimes is averaging 3.9 points and 2.9 rebounds in 14.4 minutes across his last 10 appearances coming off the bench.

Gets green light Tuesday
Doncic will give it a go after missing Sunday's win over the Thunder due to a lingering right knee contusion. The superstar has averaged 27.6 points, 7.4 rebounds, 7.4 assists and 1.6 steals across 38.0 minutes per game over his last five outings.
