De'Aaron Fox - Tepid in blowout lossFox amassed 18 points (6-18 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two steals in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 132-96 loss to the Mavericks.

ImpactFox struggled with his shot against the Mavericks, who had the right defensive formula to contain the Kings' offensive attack. During the first half, Luke Doncic floated to where he was most needed and pestered Fox during the first two quarters. Fox was also ineffective in the fourth quarter without Doncic's involvement as he failed to score over six minutes in the final stanza.

Domantas Sabonis - Sniffs triple-double during blowoutSabonis chipped in 12 points (3-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 11 rebounds, nine assists and two blocks in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 132-96 loss to the Mavericks.

ImpactDespite the Kings' poor showing, Sabonis managed his 55th consecutive double-double, breaking another record by matching Jerry Lucas for the longest double-double streak in the history of the franchise. Dallas was well aware of Sabonis' potential and crowded him in the paint often, which resulted in a lower shot volume for the underrated big man. Despite popular opinion, Sabonis' season merits MVP consideration, as the Kings would likely be out of the playoff hunt without him.

P.J. Washington Jr. - Records double-double in winWashington registered 14 points (5-11 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 0-2 FT), 13 rebounds and two assists across 32 minutes during Tuesday's 132-96 win over the Kings.

ImpactWashington registered his first double-double in Dallas during the lopsided victory, further cementing his full-time role at the four. The former Hornet has come close to the milestone a couple of times, but if Daniel Gafford and Dereck Lively continue to post subpar stat lines, his opportunities to get sufficient rebound numbers should increase.

Tim Hardaway Jr. - Stands out with 22 pointsHardaway closed with 22 points (8-14 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal across 26 minutes during Tuesday's 132-96 victory over Sacramento.

ImpactDallas had the game well in hand for most of the evening, and it allowed Hardaway to strut his stuff in the fourth quarter. The veteran was essentially the direct replacement for Doncic in the final stanza, producing wight points, three rebounds, three assists, a steal and a blocked shot during the forth quarter.

Luka Doncic - Posts 26 first-half points in winDoncic logged 28 points (10-18 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 11 rebounds, six assists and two steals in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 132-96 victory over the Kings.

ImpactDoncic did most of his damage before halftime and didn't need to do much more in the decisive win. The All-Star went to the bench and didn't play at all in the fourth quarter. The added rest should be an encouraging sign for more elite production when they face the Kings again on Friday. Although he began Tuesday on the injury report, he showed no ill effects from the Achilles injury.
