Dirk Nowitzki scores season-high 21 as Mavericks clobber Warriors
Dallas Mavericks forward/center Dirk Nowitzki started and scored a season-high 21 points (8-of-14 field goals) with 5 rebounds, 1 assist, 2 blocks, and 5 3-pointers in 26.3 minutes of a 126-91 win over the Golden State Warriors on Saturday.
What It Means:
The points, triples, and field goal makes all set season-highs while the blocks equaled Nowitzki's season-best. He had scored 3 points in each of the previous two games, so this may be a difficult performance for the 40-year-old to replicate. Dallas hosts the Sacramento Kings on Saturday.
Dirk finished with a season-best 34.5 FanDuel points in the victory. He's averaging 11.4 FanDuel points in 42 games overall this season.
