It stands to reason all the players who missed time are working to get into game shape, but the Mavericks are in a serious skid and need their offseason acquisition to step up.
Can WCS follow up a great performance?
Consistency is essentially the crux of Cauley-Stein’s career, and Monday he’ll get a chance to follow up a 14 point (7-of-8), nine-rebound, and four-block performance. The biggest question is if Carlise will give Cauley-Stein slack with Porzingis, Kleber and Powell all in the rotation. All players carry their own narratives, but if Carlisle is going with the “What have you done for me lately?” mentality, Cauley-Stein deserves a longer leash.

THJ gets all kinds of rope, and he's only good for 1 out of 3 or 4 games. WCS can be more impactful, but guys like him and Green have to play perfect. A mistake or two, and they'll end up at the end of the bench. Stupid arse personnel management. SSDD
