What We Learned From Mavs' Massive 3rd Quarter vs. KnicksThe Dallas Mavericks scored 41 points in the third quarter of their 121-100 win over the New York Knicks. Hereās what we learned.
Jalen Brunson - Returns to form SundayBrunson finished with 23 points (7-16 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 7-8 FT), four assists, two rebounds and one block in 32 minutes Sunday in the Knicks' 92-81 win over the Cavaliers.
ImpactAfter tying his season-low with 13 points in a 21-point loss Saturday to his former Dallas squad in the front end of a back-to-back set, Brunson upped his usage Sunday and was able to return to his more typical level of offensive production. Brunson did a good amount of his damage at the free-throw line, where he's converting at a career-best 87.2 percent rate for the season.

Cam Reddish - Moves outside of rotationReddish (coach's decision) didn't leave the bench in Sunday's 92-81 win over the Cavaliers.
ImpactAfter a recent three-game absence due to a groin injury, Reddish wasn't able to reclaim his starting spot on the wing, as head coach Tom Thibodeau has instead elected to stick with second-year man Quentin Grimes alongside RJ Barrett on the top unit. Reddish had still retained a rotation spot in his first four games back from injury, but after shooting just 14.3 percent from distance in those contests, he was dropped from the rotation entirely. While Reddish and Derrick Rose (rest) were absent from the second unit Sunday, Immanuel Quickley and Miles McBride were the top two guards off the bench.

Jarrett Allen - Questionable TuesdayAllen (back) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Lakers.
ImpactAllen has missed the last five games due to a low back contusion, but he'll be in the mix to return to the court Tuesday. Dean Wade (shoulder) has been ruled out for several weeks, so Allen's return would provide a significant boost to Cleveland's frontcourt.

ImpactMykhailiuk has appeared in just seven NBA games this season, averaging 3.3 minutes per contest. It doesn't seem likely that he remains in the G League for too long, but he should be heavily involved for the duration of his time with the team.
