John Poulakidas News, Rumors, Updates - Dallas Mavericks

Logs team-high 28 points from bench Poulakidas recorded 28 points (9-18 FG, 8-16 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 36 minutes during Sunday's 149-128 win over the Bulls.

Impact Pouladakis drilled an impressive eight three-pointers in the win, eclipsing the career high he set two games ago. After spending most of the season with the Clippers'G League club, the 6-6 Yale product signed a two-way deal with Dallas in late February and has proven to be a diamond in the rough. His excellent totals at season's end pose an interesting quandary for the team, which expects to have Kyrie Irving (knee) back this season. With his wing options limited by Cooper Flagg, Pouladakis' best chance for advancement is a delayed return from Irving, or some other injury-related mishap.

Strikes for career-high 23 Poulakidas contributed 23 points (8-12 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and one block across 29 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 112-107 loss to the Suns.

Impact The undrafted rookie wing out of Yale had by far his best performance so far in the NBA, leading the Mavericks in scoring and setting new career highs in points and made three-pointers. Poulakidas has scored in double digits in just three of his 11 appearances for Dallas, but he could continue to get a showcase over the final two games of the regular season.

Scores 11 points off bench Poulakidas closed with 11 points (4-9 FG, 3-8 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and one steal over 28 minutes during Tuesday's 123-99 loss to Milwaukee.

Impact Poulakidas made his season debut with the Mavs on March 3, and while his playing time has been inconsistent, he's finding ways to produce when given enough minutes. This 11-point output was a season-high mark for the rookie, although it's hard to trust him in fantasy given his role. After all, he's appeared in just seven of the Mavs' 17 games since the beginning of March.

Sticks in rotation Poulakidas provided three points (1-5 FG, 1-5 3Pt), two rebounds and one steal across 18 minutes during Monday's 129-111 loss to the Pelicans.

Impact Poulakidas remained in the rotation, suiting up for just the third time this season. Currently on a two-way deal, there is a chance Poulakidas could find himself on the floor a little more as the season winds down. With that said, he is not someone managers need to concern themselves with at this point.

Mavs sign undrafted rookie guard Ryan Nembhard to standard contract

The Dallas Mavericks have signed point guard Ryan Nembhard to a standard NBA contract after he thrived as an undrafted rookie free agent on a two-way deal

MARCH 1 • Associated Press

Signing two-way deal with Dallas The Mavericks are signing Poulakidas to a two-way contract, Jake Fischer of BleacherReport.com reports Saturday.

Impact Poulakidas appeared in 37 G League outings with the San Diego Clippers this season, during which he averaged 12.5 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists while shooting 45.1 percent from downtown across 27.0 minutes per contest before landing a two-way contract with Dallas. The guard could see some playing time at the NBA level for a Dallas team that is not expected to make the Play-In Tournament, but he is expected to spend most of his time with the club's G League affiliate, the Texas Legends, after Ryan Nembhard was upgraded from a two-way to a standard deal.
