Mavericks' Olivier-Maxence Prosper: Productive off bench
Rotowire
Prosper finished with 16 points (6-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 29 minutes during Friday's 107-89 loss to the Pistons.
With Luka Doncic (ankle) and Kyrie Irving (hamstring) out, Prosper received increased playing time against Detroit on Friday. The rookie forward capitalized by recording just his second game of the season with at least one block and a steal, while also scoring his second-most points in a game. Prosper should continue to receive increased opportunities against the Thunder on Sunday with Dallas' two starting guards remaining sidelined.

Mavericks' Olivier-Maxence Prosper: Takes advantage of opportunity
Rotowire
Prosper posted 20 points (6-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 7-9 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one steal over 30 minutes during Friday's 122-96 loss to the Rockets.
For the first time this season, Dallas played without both Luka Doncic (quadriceps) and Kyrie Irving (heel), giving the team's role players a chance to grab the spotlight. Prosper did just that, playing a team-high 30 minutes and leading the Mavericks in scoring, nearly doubling his previous career-best mark of 11 points. The strong performance could lead to the rookie seeing a bit more court time moving forward, but it should be noted that his extended run came in a game during which Dallas was routed. Prosper had logged six or fewer minutes in four of his previous five games coming into Friday, so he isn't considered a significant part of the team's rotation at this point.

Mavericks' Olivier-Maxence Prosper: Efficient in victory
Rotowire
Prosper amassed 18 points (7-12 FG, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal in 29 minutes during Friday's 112-91 Summer League win over the Pacers.
Prosper has improved his scoring output throughout the Summer League but continues to be inconsistent with his outside shot. However, his primary path to playing time as a rookie will likely be on the defensive end, as he brings impressive size and instincts.

Mavericks' Olivier-Maxence Prosper: Aggressive against Warriors
Rotowire
Prosper tallied 17 points (3-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and one steal in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 98-96 overtime Summer League win over Golden State.
Prosper had his best offensive game of the Summer League, as he was efficient from the outside and earned numerous trips to the free-throw line. While his defensive abilities will likely be the reason he sees minutes early on, the rookie forward could see wide-open looks from the three-point line due to the defensive attention that Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving will receive.
Prosper recorded 10 points (2-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 6-9 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in 24 minutes during Monday's 111-103 Summer League win over the 76ers.
Prosper is still very raw on offense and struggled with his efficiency Monday. While he is unlikely to receive a major role for the Mavericks during the regular season, his defensive potential could be exactly what Dallas needs next to Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic.
