Mavericks' Quentin Grimes: Delivers 10 points off bench
Rotowire
Grimes notched 10 points (3-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five assists and three steals over 27 minutes during Tuesday's 118-99 loss to the Nuggets.
The Mavericks struggled on offense throughout the game and Grimes was one of several players who couldn't find enough of a rhythm to make an impact. The fact that Grimes continues to play off the bench limits his upside considerably, though he's still scored in double digits in three of his last four outings with the second unit. The return of Kyrie Irving (back) also conspires against Grimes' outlook, though the latter should see consistent usage until Luka Doncic (calf) returns.
