Of Note

• The Mavericks are 10-5 since inserting Seth Curry into the starting lineup on Jan. 12. Only two of those losses came by more than five points.
• After failing to score in double figures in four straight games , Dirk has scored 45 points in the last two games, scoring at least 20 points in both games.
• Yogi Ferrell has scored at least 9 points in all 7 games he has played. He also has at least 5 assists in 5 out of the 7 games.
• Harrison Barnes has scored in double figures in all but one game this year. He has scored at least 30 six times including 31 in Thursday's win over Utah.
• Orlando has really struggled of late, losing 8 out of their last 10, with both win coming against Toronto, oddly enough.
