After a sluggish start, the full rotation is healthy and Dallas appears to be turning a corner ahead of the NBA All-Star break.<\/p>\n<p>However, the recent hot streak has not answered all of the Mavs&#39; questions. Their biggest long-term uncertainty remains Kristaps Porzingis. Can he stay on the floor? And can he be the second option on a championship contender?<\/p>\n<p>The 130-126 win over Orlando on Monday was emblematic of the Mavs&#39; issues. Luka Doncic was sensational, finishing with 33 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists on 12-of-22 shooting from the field and 5-of-10 from 3-point range.<\/p>\n<p><strong>NBA ESSENTIALS:&nbsp;<\/strong>SCORES | SCHEDULE&nbsp;| STANDINGS<\/p>\n<p>Porzingis, though, was inconsistent, and the Mavs struggled to put away an inferior Magic team. Porzingis shot 1-of-9 in the first half and missed all six of his 3-point attempts. He bounced back in the second half to shoot 4-of-6 overall and 3-of-4 from long range.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gannett-cdn.com\/presto\/2021\/03\/02\/USAT\/19f666b7-6edb-4ab4-b446-f5602ea700f5-2021-03-01_Kristaps_Porzingis1.jpg?crop=2475,1567,x0,y0&amp;width=540&amp;height=&amp;fit=bounds&amp;auto=webp\"><br \/>\nSource: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/sports\/nba\/2021\/03\/02\/nba-scores-news-mavericks-surging-suns-lakers-schedule\/6879843002\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Dallas Mavericks were all smiles Monday night after defeating the Orlando Magic.
