Player Grades: Recapping the Mavericks Loss To The Memphis Grizzlies

Watching the Mavericks lose 124-105 to the Memphis Grizzlies felt like a test of mental strength, rather than something a normal person would do for fun.

But, when the injury list is as long as the active roster, it makes some sense.

Unfortunately, let’s get to the grades.

Brandon Williams: C

16 PTS / 8 REB / 4 AST / 0 STL / 0 BLK -26 MIN

Brandon Williams was on the court tonight, and led the Mavericks in scoring while also snagging 8 rebounds.

He also had only 2 turnovers, which was 10% of the Mavericks’ total on the night.

Khris Middleton: C

10 PTS / 1 REB / 3 AST / 1 STL / 0 BLK -19 MIN

Khris Middleton may have played his final game as a Maverick, as March 1st is the deadline for players to be bought out.

If Middleton does choose to be bought out, he could still provide value for a contender.

Daniel Gafford: A

14 PTS / 5 REB / 0 AST / 0 STL / 2 BLK -20 MIN

Daniel Gafford had a great transition dunk and made a few plays defensively.

Naji Marshall: D

4 PTS / 2 REB / 2 AST / 1 STL / 1 BLK -24 MIN

After playing 42 minutes on Thursday night, Naji Marshall should’ve had the day off, as his energy was nonexistent.

But can you blame him?

Max Christie: C+

13 PTS / 3 REB / 2 AST / 0 STL/ 0 BLK -29 MIN

In a game where the Mavericks clearly had no interest in winning, how did Max Christie only end up attempting 5 threes?

Christie should be attempting 10 threes every single night from here on out.

A.J. Johnson: C+

12 PTS / 3 REB / 4 AST / 0 STL / 0 BLK -34 MIN

A.J. Johnson’s box score numbers were not good, but he only a -1 in a 20-point loss.

With the season already over, Johnson should be playing 20-plus minutes per night, as his energy and speed is fun to watch.
