Chuck Cooperstein @coopmavs
That 2nd half by Luka reminded me of Bad Boys II when Will Smith screams at Martin Lawrence “FROM NOW ON, THAT’S HOW YOU SHOOT” An all world player played like an all world player – 1:27 AM

If asked, will Desmond Bane participate in the 3-point contest this season?
Bane: “Most definitely.” – 1:17 AM
Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
Dallas vs Memphis is very realistic as a potential 3 vs 6 or 4 vs 5 matchup.
Luka Doncic on possibly seeing Memphis in the playoffs:
“They have a complete team. Everybody knows their roles. If we’re going to get them, it’s going to be really tough to beat them.” – 1:13 AM
Reggie Bullock @ReggieBullock35
BIG TIME WIN‼️ – 1:11 AM
Marc Stein @TheSteinLine
The Mavericks are hopeful Jason Kidd can return to the bench Saturday to resume coaching against Orlando, sources say.
Dallas is 3-1 with Kidd in NBA protocols under acting coach Sean Sweeney, ending win streaks for Chicago (9) and Memphis (11).

Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
Luka Doncic was very complimentary of Ja Morant. He said Morant deserves the attention he’s getting, including passing him in the most recent All-Star voting.
“He’s just a different player. His athleticism is above everything. He jumps out of the gym.” – 12:55 AM
Mark Followill @MFollowill
Some important things tonight:
Memphis #1 in paint pts (55.6/gm), Dallas won that battle 72-50. Memphis top fast break pts team (16.6/gm), advantage Mavs 23-11. Grizzlies lead NBA in rebound pct & were +11/game in rebs during their 11 gm streak. Mavs outrebounded the Grizz by 11. – 12:50 AM
Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
Ja Morant said that one game won’t define this team. He adds they were all tired by the end of it.
“I wasn’t locked in. Throwing the ball all over the court.” – 12:50 AM
Chuck Cooperstein @coopmavs
The way Mavs have been finishing games vs good teams (Outside of NY when they were never really in the game) has been incredible in Jan.
Vs DEN Outscore 34-26 win by 14
Vs GS Outscore 29-15, win by 17
VS CHI outscore 30-20 win by 14
Vs MEM Outscor 28-12 win by 27. – 12:45 AM

Against Memphis tonight Luka Doncic had 27P/12R/10A. Luka now has 40 career triple-doubles. The other 349 players who have appeared in a game in franchise history for the Mavericks have combined for 40 triple-doubles. And 21 of those were by Jason Kidd! – 12:41 AM

That’s Doncic’s 40th career triple-double, making him the 11th player to reach that plateau. He got the triple-double with a behind-the-back assist to Powell.

Dallas outscored Memphis 34-18 in the third quarter. Remember, the Grizzlies played last night, so theoretically this would be the point in the game where Dallas is the fresher-legged team. – 11:50 PM

Doncic needs 2 rebounds and 2 assists for his 40th career triple-double — to go along with his 14 points so far.
He would be the 11th player to reach that milestone. – 11:31 PM

Extremely sloppy offense from the Grizzlies in this third quarter and they trail again. Totally out of sorts. – 11:30 PM
Chris Mannix @SIChrisMannix
Grizzlies have been so good in the draft lately. Dillon Brooks, Brandon Clarke, Desmond Bane … this is how you win. Ja, Jackson, they are the pillars. Mid/late draft picks — that’s what push you to a high level. – 11:29 PM

There’s hope within the Mavericks organization that Kristaps Porzingis can clear health and safety protocols as soon as tomorrow, but it’s extremely unrealistic to think he could play against Orlando tomorrow, and or probably even Monday against OKC. Hasn’t practiced in 2 weeks. – 11:20 PM
Chuck Cooperstein @coopmavs
Mavs trail in MEM 55-50 at half. Rallied from nine down in 1st qtr to take 2 pt lead. But big 3pt play by Ja right before half gives Griz the edge. Morant 15 for MEM. Doncic 9-6-5 for Mavs. 2nd half soon @theeagledallas – 11:14 PM

Dallas has done most of their damage from inside the paint (20 PTS) – 10:38 PM

Mavs are extremely fortunate to be down only 29-25 after one quarter, considering . . .
4 Doncic turnovers.

Bulls play in Boston tomorrow and then in Memphis Monday afternoon … likely without LaVine, who will get an MRI on the left knee Saturday. If they’re going to continue to show up like this … trade deadline is Feb. 10. – 8:43 PM

Ntilikina and Moses Brown are the early birds, warming up even as the dancers rehearse. Did you know Ntilikina, despite playing only 31 games, has the Mavs’ 4th-best plus-minus at plus-72? pic.twitter.com/vJ6ffd2LMr – 7:45 PM
