The Dallas Mavericks have dropped four straight and ended this week with a loss to the lowly Utah Jazz.
And while it’s hard to nitpick the games of their two superstars—Luka Dončić is averaging 29.3 points, 8.0 rebounds and 8.0 assists, while Kyrie Irving is averaging 25.2 points and 4.9 assists while shooting 54.1 percent from deep—it’s easy to start wondering about the supporting cast.
The third-leading scorer, Klay Thompson, is barely averaging more points (14.8) than shot attempts (13.0) per game. The only other double-figures scorer, Daniel Gafford, is losing his minutes so far this season. And Naji Marshall’s three-point shot hasn’t shown up yet. He’s just 4-of-25 from deep so far.
