BREAKING: Mavs Talk Trade With Warriors On Porzingis - Report
After sitting at home for eight days due to weather delays, the Dallas Mavericks entered their Monday night matchup with the Memphis Grizzlies hoping to continue their solid play of late, which had seen them win four out of their previous five games.

As for the game ... Tim Hardaway Jr. led the way for Dallas, scoring 29 points off of the bench while shooting 7-of-11 from beyond the arc, while Jalen Brunson added 19 off of the bench as well, and star Luka Doncic 21 points, seven rebounds, and five assists.
Josh Richardson also came to play, putting up 17 points and seven boards of his own.
What the Mavs didn't have a Monday was their second-star Porzingis, who missed the game due to "back-stiffness", marking yet another missed game for the oft-injured star. To make things even more interesting, after the game, Bleacher Report's Jake Fischer reported that the Mavs have quietly shopped Porzingis amid the team's major defensive struggles when he's on the court.
