John Poulakidas: Breaking News

Poulakidas recorded 28 points (9-18 FG, 8-16 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 36 minutes during Sunday's 149-128 win over the Bulls. Poulakidas drilled an impressive eight three-pointers in the win, eclipsing the career high he set two games ago. After spending most of the season with the Clippers' G League club, the 6-6 Yale product signed a two-way deal with Dallas in late February and has proven to be a diamond in the rough. His excellent totals at season's end pose an interesting quandary for the team, which expects to have Kyrie Irving (knee) back this season. With his wing options limited by Cooper Flagg, Poulakidas' best chance for advancement is a delayed return from Irving, or some other injury-related mishap.

Poulakidas contributed 23 points (8-12 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and one block across 29 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 112-107 loss to the Suns. The undrafted rookie wing out of Yale had by far his best performance so far in the NBA, leading the Mavericks in scoring and setting new career highs in points and made three-pointers. Poulakidas has scored in double digits in just three of his 11 appearances for Dallas, but he could continue to get a showcase over the final two games of the regular season.

Poulakidas closed with 11 points (4-9 FG, 3-8 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal over 28 minutes during Tuesday's 123-99 loss to Milwaukee. Poulakidas made his season debut with the Mavericks on March 3, and while his playing time has been inconsistent, he's finding ways to produce when given enough minutes. This 11-point output was a season-high mark for the rookie, although it's hard to trust him in fantasy given his role as a two-way player. He's appeared in just seven of the Mavericks' 17 games since the beginning of March.
