Reggie Bullock is playing his best basketball in two months, and that’s helped the Dallas Mavericks win four of their last five games.
Bullock scored 17 points on 5 of 8 shooting from 3-point range Tuesday night as the host Mavericks blew out the short-handed Los Angeles Lakers 128–110. Los Angeles was without LeBron James (ankle issue) and Anthony Davis (foot sprain).
With a 16.1 game score, Bullock has double-digit game scores in consecutive games for the first time since early February and has at least five 3-pointers in three of the last five games. He is 12 of 19 from 3-point range in his last two games after going 1 of 12 in the previous two.
Theo Pinson wasn’t active for the game. The Lakers’ Wayne Ellington didn’t play for the sixth consecutive game (the last four the coach’s decision) and has played in only three of the last 13 games.
Harrison Barnes collected 17 points, three 3-pointers, two rebounds and three assists in Sacramento’s 123–100 Monday loss at Miami for a 12.3 game score.
Cole Anthony had 11 points and four assists in Orlando’s 107–101 Monday loss at Cleveland for a 9.1 game score.
Danny Green scored nine points on three 3-pointers with four rebounds in Philadelphia’s 118–116 Tuesday home loss to Milwaukee. Evidence that he hasn’t been putting up big offensive numbers in recent weeks is that his 7.4 game score was his best since putting up a 10.4 in an 11-point game on Jan. 29 against Sacramento. He hasn’t started since Feb. 15.
Since scoring 23 points at New Orleans on Thursday, Coby White has scored in single digits in three consecutive games, including going scoreless Saturday at Cleveland. In Monday’s 109–104 loss at New York, he had six points and seven rebounds, then collected nine points, four rebounds and five assists in Tuesday’s 107–94 victory at Washington. He’s 1 for his last 11 from 3-point range since going 5 of 8 against the Pelicans.
Tony Bradley hasn’t played (coach’s decision) in the last three games and has played one minute in the last five.
In another G League outing for Day’Ron Sharpe, he had 13 points and six rebounds in 17 minutes of the Long Island Nets’ 116–105 home win Tuesday over the Windy City Bulls. He has played only twice for Brooklyn since the All-Star break.
