Quentin Grimes lit up Portland with 28 points (9-of-13 FGs), five rebounds, three assists, five steals and five 3-pointers on Sunday.
Grimes has been on a tear over the Mavs’ last three games. He has been part of the starting lineup during his last five appearances and in seven of his last nine. However, over his last three, he has averaged 24.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 4.7 threes while shooting 59.5% from the floor. He was dealt from Detroit in exchange for Tim Hardaway Jr. this summer, and he has thrived in his new home. Grimes may not remain in the starting unit when Kyrie Irving and Klay Thompson get healthy, but he’s earned a larger role off the bench, and he’ll continue to put up big numbers until they’re back.
