Dinwiddie ended Friday's 123-117 victory over Detroit with 31 points (9-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 11-13 FT), three rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 39 minutes.
Dinwiddie started for a second consecutive game and thrived, missing just three of his 12 shots from the floor en route to posting a season-high scoring mark. The scoring side of things wasn't the only area in which Dinwiddie thrived, however, as he finished three assists short of posting what would've been his third double-double of the season. Dinwiddie is averaging 15.6 points, 2.9 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.1 steals per game across 11 appearances in March.

Rotowire
Dinwiddie posted 17 points (6-16 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, 12 assists and three steals across 42 minutes during Wednesday's 135-131 loss to Indiana.
Dinwiddie found himself in the starting lineup Wednesday with Brandon Williams (hamstring) inactive, doing it on both ends of the floor en route to a double-double showcase while leading all players in steals. Dinwiddie set a new season high in assists, handing out 10 or more dimes in three outings. He has recorded a double-double in two appearances, both of which came as a starter.

Rotowire
Dinwiddie will start Wednesday's game against the Pacers, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.
With Brandon Williams (hamstring) out Wednesday, Dinwiddie will make his way into the starting five. Over his last 16 games as a starter, Dinwiddie has averaged 12.5 points, 5.0 assists, 3.1 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 30.3 minutes.

Mavericks' Spencer Dinwiddie: Starts second half in loss
Rotowire
Dinwiddie had 20 points (9-15 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds and two assists across 35 minutes during Friday's 133-96 loss to the Rockets.
Following the departure of Dante Exum with a fractured hand Friday, Dinwiddie started the second half and submitted his 10th game of the season with at least 20 points. With Exum out indefinitely and Kyrie Irving (knee) already done for the year, it may not be long before Dinwiddie gets back into the starting lineup. Dinwiddie has averaged 10.5 points, 3.9 assists, 2.6 rebounds, 0.7 steals and 1.3 three-pointers in 28.1 minutes across 12 games since the All-Star break.

Mavericks' Spencer Dinwiddie: Leads Dallas in victory
Rotowire
Dinwiddie supplied 28 points (9-16 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 6-6 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and one steal across 37 minutes during Monday's 133-129 win over the Spurs.
Dinwiddie posted a team-high mark in points Monday, tying his second-highest scoring outing on the season. Additionally, the veteran playmaker led the club in assists, dishing out six dimes for the third time across the Mavericks' last five matchups. The 31-year-old guard has played at least 29 minutes in each of the club's last four outings due to Kyrie Irving (knee) being sidelined, and that trend will likely continue, especially if Jaden Hardy (ankle) and Brandon Williams (hamstring) miss additional time.

Mavericks' Spencer Dinwiddie: Returning to bench role
Rotowire
Dinwiddie will come off the bench during Friday's game against the Grizzlies, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.
After a less-than-stellar performance as a starter in Wednesday's loss to the Bucks, Dinwiddie will be replaced by Dante Exum in the starting lineup against Memphis. In a reserve role with Dallas this season, the veteran guard is averaging 8.2 points, 1.8 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game while shooting 39.8 percent from the floor and 37.2 percent from deep.

Mavericks' Spencer Dinwiddie: Delivers little in starting role
Rotowire
Dinwiddie racked up eight points (3-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-4 FT), one rebound, six assists, one block and four steals in 29 minutes during Wednesday's 137-107 loss to the Bucks.
Dinwiddie took over for Kyrie Irving at point guard, but he was generally ineffective in the loss and was outplayed by other backcourt participants. Brandon Williams emerged as the most influential point guard, so it's easy to say that identifying the best options for the short-handed Mavericks is a tenuous task.

Mavericks' Spencer Dinwiddie: Running with starters sans Irving
Rotowire
Dinwiddie is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Bucks, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.
In the aftermath of Kyrie Irving's (knee) season-ending injury, Dinwiddie has a clear runway to serve as Dallas' starting point guard for the remainder of the season. With his fantasy stock on the rise, Dinwiddie has averaged 14.4 points, 5.1 assists, 3.5 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 1.4 three-pointers in 31.2 minutes across 19 appearances with the first unit in 2024-25.

Mavericks' Spencer Dinwiddie: Scores 10 points in loss
Rotowire
Dinwiddie provided 10 points (2-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one steal over 27 minutes during Monday's 122-98 loss to Sacramento.
Kyrie Irving suffered a sprained right knee during Monday's game and was unable to return, so Dinwiddie could potentially be called upon to step into a larger role depending on the severity of the issue. Dinwiddie has 19 starts to his name this season, averaging 14.4 points, 5.1 assists, 3.5 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 1.4 three-pointers on 42.3 percent shooting from the field.

Mavericks' Spencer Dinwiddie: Starting sans Irving
Rotowire
Dinwiddie will enter the starting lineup in Thursday's game against Miami.
The veteran guard will get the starting nod with Kyrie Irving (shoulder) on the shelf. Dinwiddie has already started in 18 outings this season, during which he has averaged 14.2 points, 5.1 assists, 3.5 rebounds, 1.4 three-pointers and 1.2 steals across 30.7 minutes per contest.
Dinwiddie finished with 20 points (8-16 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-3 FT), two rebounds, five assists and two steals across 34 minutes during Monday's 129-128 overtime loss to Sacramento.
Dinwiddie made his impact felt all over the basketball floor for the Mavericks during Monday's loss to the Kings. The veteran guard scored a highly efficient 20 points off the bench while chipping in defensively with two steals. The 31-year-old has racked up two or more steals 13 times during the 2024-25 campaign for Dallas.

Mavericks' Spencer Dinwiddie: Strong outing off bench
Rotowire
Dinwiddie registered 22 points (7-10 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two rebounds, two assists, and one steal over 31 minutes in Thursday's 127-120 win over the Celtics.
Thursday was Dinwiddie's most productive outing since his 28-point performance against the Thunder on Jan. 17. The veteran guard made timely buckets that prevented the Celtics from making any sort of comeback, and he finished as the Mavericks' second-leading scorer behind Klay Thompson (25). Though he's coming off the bench, Dinwiddie will have opportunities to run the Mavericks' offense alongside newcomer Anthony Davis (abdomen) when Kyrie Irving rests on the bench.

Mavericks' Spencer Dinwiddie: Returning to bench Tuesday
Rotowire
Dinwiddie is not in the Mavericks' starting lineup against the 76ers on Tuesday, Grant Afseth of DallasHoopsJournal.com reports.
Dinwiddie started in 16 of the Mavericks' last 19 games, and over that span he averaged 12.8 points, 4.4 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 0.9 steals over 29.9 minutes per contest. He has failed to play more than 30 minutes in each of his last five outings, and he'll revert to a reserve role Tuesday due to Kyrie Irving (finger) returning from a one-game absence and Kessler Edwards being inserted into the starting five.

Mavericks' Spencer Dinwiddie: Muted impact in loss
Rotowire
Dinwiddie chipped in five points (2-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound and four assists in 23 minutes during Friday's 117-102 loss to Detroit.
Dinwiddie struggled Friday, scoring his fewest points since a two-point showing in the Jan. 3 loss to Cleveland. The veteran guard wraps up an erratic month of January, during which he posted double-digit scoring figures in only eight of his 16 contests (13 starts). Dinwiddie should remain a fixture in Dallas' lineup until Luka Doncic returns from a calf strain, but he's still been a hit-or-miss fantasy option.

Mavericks' Spencer Dinwiddie: Modest effort in victory Wednesday
Rotowire
Dinwiddie totaled 11 points (4-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, seven assists and one steal over 28 minutes during Wednesday's 137-136 win over New Orleans.
Dinwiddie continues to start for the Mavericks, having opened the game in seven of the past eight contests. He appears to have settled into a consistent role, typically playing around 30 minutes per game. Luka Doncic continues to bide his time on the sideline as a result of a calf injury, although he is slated to return in the next week or two. Up until that point, Dinwiddie should remain a relatively consistent source of what can be considered typical guard stats.

Mavericks' Spencer Dinwiddie: Erupts for team-high 28 points
Rotowire
Dinwiddie ended Thursday's 121-115 win over Oklahoma City with 28 points (11-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound and three assists in 35 minutes.
After scoring in single digits in his previous two outings, Dinwiddie erupted with an efficient 28 points to lead the Mavericks but didn't make as big of an impact in the other areas of the box score. Although the veteran guard is playing a more prominent role in Dallas' rotation while Luka Doncic nurses a calf strain, Dinwiddie remains a fairly volatile fantasy option on a nightly basis. He's averaging 15.6 points, 4.4 assists, 3.8 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 1.6 three-pointers while shooting 29.2 percent from deep over his last nine games.
