Nowitkzi scores 40, 29 in fourth: The Mavericks' offense barely had a pulse for most of three quarters. Then Dirk Nowitzki decided to take control. Nowitzki scored a club-record 29 of his 40 points during a frantic fourth-quarter comeback and the Mavericks beat the visiting Jazz 96-85 on Tuesday. Nowitzki broke the franchise record of 24 points in any quarter set by Mark Aguirre against Denver on March 24, 1984. "It was an ugly game," Nowitzki said. "We couldn't get anything going for three quarters. We were slow. We were looking for a spark offensively and I was able to do that tonight." Nowitzki also had 11 rebounds, five assists, five blocks and two steals. He now has 20 or more points in 29 straight games.

Fantasy Analysis

The NBA record for points in a fourth quarter is Wilt Chamberlain's 31 for Philadelphia on March 2, 1962 against the New York Knicks. The mark for points in any quarter is 33 shared by San Antonio's George Gervin (April 9, 1978) and Denver's Carmelo Anthony (Dec. 10, 2008). Safe to say Nowitzki was in pretty good company with this performance. He has averaged more than 23 points each of the last five seasons, contributing plenty of rebounds and 3-pointers along the way. Clearly, he's one of the elite players in Fantasy and a must-start in all leagues.
