Dennis Smith benched in Mavericks' loss to Knicks
Dallas Mavericks point guard Dennis Smith scored 11 points (5-of-14 field goals, 1-of-2 3-pointers) with 3 rebounds, 5 assists, and 2 steals in 24.6 minutes of Sunday's 100-96 loss to the New York Knicks.
What It Means:
Smith was on the bench for the final 4:48 minutes of the home loss, and head coach Rick Carlisle was critical of the rookie's play on defense after the loss. Look for him to bounce back versus the Orlando Magic on Tuesday.
Smith finished with 28.1 FanDuel points on Sunday, compared to 25.0 FanDuel points per game this season.
