Gafford totaled 16 points (7-7 FG, 2-5 FT), 10 rebounds, three blocks, two assists and one steal in 21 minutes during Tuesday's 137-120 loss to the Pacers.
Though Dallas was on the wrong end of a blowout, Gafford's performance was a silver lining, as he ended up getting the most center minutes on the team while Dereck Lively struggled with foul trouble again. After almost falling out of the rotation recently, Gafford came through for anyone who opted to stream him for help in the field-goal percentage, rebounds and blocks categories. Though Tuesday's performance was undoubtedly an encouraging one, Gafford's playing time has been all over the map of late, making him difficult to rely upon.
