Porzingis provided 23 points (8-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 30 minutes during Friday's 112-104 loss to Phoenix.
While the Mavs dropped their second straight game to Phoenix, Porzingis once again played well in the absence of Luka Doncic (knee/ankle), dropping in 20-plus points for the fifth straight game. Over that span, the big man is averaging 25.4 points, 10.0 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.4 blocks, 1.0 steals and 3.0 three-pointers. When healthy, Porzingis is a borderline-elite fantasy option, but managers must be willing to accept the inherent risk that he'll miss significant time, as he's played more than 70 games only once in six NBA seasons.
