Storyline to follow: Porzingis’ involvement
Coach Rick Carlisle and Kristaps Porzingis both noted after Friday’s game that the 7’3 big man needed to be more involved in the offense. Porzingis had just two points in the fourth quarter and overtime in the loss to the Lakers. He is too skilled for that to be the case.
Expect the Mavs to get KP involved early and often against the Cavaliers. He should be matching up against Kevin Love. KP dropped 32 points the last time they faced off in Cleveland. Expect a big game from the 24-year-old.
Dallas Mavericks supporters should tune in and enjoy the contest. Hopefully, they secure a win before returning home to face the Orlando Magic. It should be a fun night.
