Dallas Mavericks star Kristaps Porzingis makes All-Seeding Games Second Team

The Dallas Mavericks finished the 2019-2020 regular season with a record of 43-32 in one of the wildest years in NBA history. The novel coronavirus forced a four-month suspension in the middle of the season. It gave fans a 22-team bubble for the restart. Kristaps Porzingis shined in that environment.

The 25-year-old averaged 30.5 points, 9.5 rebounds, 2.2 assists, and 1.5 blocks in 36.1 minutes per over his six games in Orlando. KP was rested on the first of a back-to-back set against the Jazz. He also missed the final game against the Suns because of a heel injury. Porzingis saved his best basketball of the season for the restart.

It earned the Unicorn another honor on Saturday afternoon. Let us see where he landed on the list of best players in the bubble.
