Dirk Nowitzki scores 5 points in 20 minutes on Sunday for Mavericks
Dallas Mavericks forward/center Dirk Nowitzki scored 5 points on 2-of-7 field goals and 1-of-1 free throws with 1 rebound and 1 assist in 19.8 minutes of Sunday's 112-99 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder.
What It Means:
The Mavericks were playing on the second end of a back-to-back, so the 39-year-old may have suffered from fatigue but this was the fourth time in the past five games Nowitzki was held to single-digit scoring. He's averaging 10.1 points and 5.1 rebounds in 23.9 minutes per game this season.
numberFire's models projected Nowitzki to score 20.3 FanDuel points on Sunday, but he finished with a season-low 7.7 points.
