J.J. Barea (calf) expected to miss six weeks for Dallas

Dallas Mavericks guard J.J. Barea (calf) is expected to be sidelined for the next six weeks.

What It Means:

Barea was averaging a career-high 33.1 minutes per game to start the year with Deron Williams missing time, and he responded by posting a career-high 16.3 points to go with 5.4 assists and 3.4 rebounds. Look for Seth Curry to see a significant boost in minutes in Barea's absence.

Our models currently project Barea to average 9.1 points, 3.4 assists and 1.7 rebounds in 19.4 minutes per game upon his return.
