Justin Anderson sees 40 minutes of action as Dallas falls to Golden State

Dallas Mavericks small forward Justin Anderson tallied 16 points, eight rebounds and seven assists in 40 minutes of action as a fill-in starter in Wednesday's loss to the Golden State Warriors.

What It Means:

The Mavericks had no intention of being competitive with the Warriors on Wednesday, resting five veterans, and this gave the 22-year-old Anderson as much opportunity as he could handle.

Anderson was not efficient with the big minutes that he saw, and his -28.99 nERD was the second-lowest mark among Dallas players in the loss, per numberFire Live.
