WATCH: Mavs' Christian Wood Shows Complete Game in 32-Point Performance vs. Blazers Christian Wood scored a season-high 32 points in the Dallas Mavericks’ win over Damian Lillard and the Portland Trail Blazers.

DECEMBER 17, 2022 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Double-double in win Wood contributed 32 points (11-17 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 8-10 FT), 12 rebounds and two blocks over 30 minutes during Friday's 130-110 win over Portland.

Impact Wood had a solid statline in Friday's win, notching his first double-double in 11 games. His 32 points marked a new season high, and his eight made free throws was the most since the second game of the season. The veteran forward also contributed defensively by adding two blocks, which is a category he doesn't typically produce in. Wood's season has been a bit up and down, but games like this show that his fantasy ceiling is still quite high.

That led to Wood and Reggie Bullock combining for 71 minutes off the bench, and Wood finished as the team's second-leading scorer behind Doncic (30 points). Wood tied a season high with four triples in the contest, with his other such performance coming in his first game as a Maverick on Oct. 19 against Phoenix.

Impact Wood connected on just two of seven field-goal attempts for seven points in the first half before pouring in another 14 in the third quarter alone on 6-of-8 shooting from the field. He also added five boards in the quarter, giving him nine total rebounds for the third time in his last four contests.
